Chapter 72: Car Accident
"He has a fever, you go find a doctor, why are you looking for me?" Xie Wantang responded coldly.
She refused, not wanting to go.
The first night Lu Yanshen barged into the hospital again, she actually was once again unambitious, taking a moment to glance at him.
She pushed open the door, and the moment she entered, she heard Lu Yanshen shout in his sleep: "Mengmeng..."
Whether awake or asleep, Lu Yanshen's eyes and heart held only Xia Meng.
In that case, as the third party in their love, she should withdraw early.
"Miss Xie, I..."
When Xia Meng still wanted to say something, Xie Wantang just hung up the phone.
Direct, and straightforward.
Her refusal, Qin Siyuan was very pleased: "Tang Bao, that's exactly how it should be. You two now have no marital affection left; as long as you stay clear-headed, no one can kidnap you."
"That old Lu family head really struck hard." Qin Family's second son, Qin Mu Feng, spoke up.
Doctors have benevolent hearts, but he feels no sympathy for this blind dog of a man who can't see his sister's well-being.
That said, given Lu Yanshen's injury, having a fever is normal.
For someone like him, it'd be best to burn his brain to a crisp.
"Second brother, stop talking, let's go get hot pot."
"Hmm."
Qin Mu Feng hailed a car, Qin Siyuan hailed a car, and Xie Wantang naturally rode with the Qin Siyuan couple in one car.
Xie Wantang was self-aware, she sat in the passenger seat.
Leading the way, Xie Wantang had lived in Sijiucheng for over three years, so she knew where the better hot pot was.
Midway, Xie Wantang received a call from Shen Ye.
"Senior Martial Brother." These days, she's been busy with her own affairs and hasn't had a chance to properly ask Shen Ye how his matters are going, and about An sen as well.
"Junior Martial Sister, can you find time to come to the Esteemed Private Hospital?"
"..."
Xie Wantang blinked slightly; just now, she had refused Xia Meng's request to go to that hospital.
"Where are you?" Xie Wantang countered.
"Hmm."
"Alright, Senior Martial Brother, wait for me." Xie Wantang agreed without further questions.
"Okay."
After hanging up, Xie Wantang turned to Qin Siyuan and Xie Ningmeng and said: "Mom and Dad, you and brother go ahead and eat; Senior Martial Brother has something for me, I need to go see him."
"We'll accompany you." The couple said in unison.
"No need, he's handling a case."
"Alright, then we'll get out and re-hail a car; you take this car over."
"No need, I'll get out and hail another one."
"No, that won't do; listen to us, you stay in this car, we'll get out and re-hail."
Xie Wantang couldn't argue with them, so she agreed.
The driver pulled over, Qin Siyuan and Xie Ningmeng got out.
The driver drove Xie Ningmeng, turning at the upcoming intersection toward the new destination.
Twenty minutes later, at the intersection just before the hospital, a suddenly out-of-control truck slammed into a taxi, flipping the taxi onto the ground.
An ambulance sped over, and within less than half an hour, it wailed toward the Royal First Hospital.
This was because the taxi carried a pregnant woman in critical condition, and in this regard, the Royal First Hospital's capabilities are stronger.
On his way home from work, Lu Yanze received a video sent by Xia Meng.
The truck hit the taxi Xie Wantang was riding in; the taxi tumbled twice before landing, then the ambulance wailed past, and Lu Yanze revealed a satisfied smile.
In such a horrific car crash, at best the child couldn't be saved, and possibly it could be two deaths for one body.
Xia Meng: "When will you take me to see Yanshen?"
Lu Yanze chuckled lightly: "Why the rush? Have you finished things? You and the Lu Yanshen by your side aren't even married yet."
"Do you want us to really get married?"
"What else? He's wearing Lu Yanshen's face, and you haven't dug out this guy's true background for me yet. Young person, you've just done one thing; don't be so flighty, okay?"
Xia Meng looked at the message from the mysterious person; the phrase "young person" made her feel the other party is quite old.
Is her Yanshen really still alive?
At this moment, Xia Meng stood on the hospital's rooftop, looking up at the rolling dark clouds overhead.
She clenched her fist.
At the same time, Pei Xiao rushed into the room: "President Lu, confirmed, the accident just now involved the madam."
"What?"
Lu Yanshen jerked his head up in agitation, straining his back on the nerves, pain making his whole face seem about to crack.
"Don't rush, President Lu, I'll apply the medicine for you."
"..."
This time, Lu Yanshen did not refuse again.
The medicine Xie Wantang sent really worked well; after applying it for less than half an hour, Lu Yanshen, who originally couldn't get out of bed, became able to move slowly and shakily out of bed.
Pei Xiao borrowed a wheelchair from the hospital.
When the two went out, Xia Meng came back.
Brought dinner.
"Yanshen, Assistant Pei, what's this?" Xia Meng asked as if nothing had happened.
As for that, her excuse for just leaving was that she went back to keep Dongdong company for dinner.
What she didn't know was that Lu Yanshen and Pei Xiao both knew whether she had gone back to keep Dongdong company.
Both of them had calm expressions.
Pei Xiao, as the spokesperson, said: "Miss Xia, Madam just had an accident on the way to the hospital; I brought Lu Zong over to take a look."
"Is that so? Then hurry up and go, or I'll go with you, Yanshen—can you get out of bed?" Xia Meng's expression showed a hint of panic.
"Mm, Xie Wantang's medicinal powder works great; Pei Xiao just applied it for me."
"Good, which hospital? Do you know?"
"At the Royal First Hospital."
"I'll go with you; I'll push Yanshen, Assistant Pei, you drive."
"Mm."
Upon arriving at the Royal First Hospital, the Lu family members had all arrived.
Lu Yanshen's condition made it impossible for him to rush over immediately upon hearing the news like a normal person.
So, by the time Lu Yanshen arrived, Xie Wantang's outcome had already been decided.
The child couldn't be saved; Xie Wantang's thigh nerves suffered severe compression, and for the rest of her life she might end up like Lu Yanshen before, needing to rely on a wheelchair.
"What?"
Lu Yanshen's face showed shock.
Lady Lao was truly grieved; during the day she still thought of first agreeing to the Qin family, doing everything according to their wishes, comforting Xie Wantang well, and after Xie Wantang gave birth to their Lu family's child, then thinking of other ways to regain custody from Xie Wantang.
Now it's all become empty talk.
The child is gone.
"Things have come to this; you should hurry up and finish the divorce procedures, don't drag it out." Old Master Land appeared extremely cold-hearted; saying such things in this situation is utterly heartless.
Seeing that Lady Lao was truly distressed, she summoned the steward and helped Lady Lao leave the hospital immediately.
Not even the patience to wait for Xie Wantang to come out of the operating room remained.
"Pei Xiao, go investigate; I want the full truth of that car accident." Lu Yanshen, with a cold, handsome face, gave Pei Xiao a new order in front of everyone.
"Yes, Lu Zong."
Xie Wantang suddenly met with a car accident, and Lu Rourou and Madam Lu felt delighted inside.
Seeing Lu Yanshen so distressed, Lu Rourou stepped forward and gave an insincere consolation: "Second brother, things are what they are anyway; try to move on. Besides, you and Xie Wantang have no fate together; this child leaving is also a good thing."
Lu Yanshen lifted his eyes, glared at her fiercely, and retorted: "Lu Rourou, are you still human?"
Lu Rourou: "..."
At this moment, Shen Ye walked over, took off his sunglasses, his eyes icy as they fixed on Lu Rourou: "I, Shen Ye, have saved countless hostages in my life, but this is the first time I regret saving someone as vicious as Miss Lu."
Hearing Shen Ye's words, Lu Rourou's face instantly turned deathly pale.
