Chapter 72: Child (Bonus 1)

Shi Xu helped a simply dressed woman come over. She looked still young, but her demeanor was shattered, as if she had suffered a major blow.

How is the child's condition?

Zhu Xueheng shook his head. "The doctor hasn't come out yet."

The woman covered her mouth, tears 'drip drip drop' hit the floor. She could no longer hold back, turning to strike Shi Xu, "Shi Xu, you worthless thing, you worthless failure who can't protect your daughter!"

Shi Xu let his wife vent her emotions.

He never expected that after going to settle the dispute between the Liang family's Liang Chengwei and Liang Liying and the Su and Zhu families' children, his daughter would disappear.

When he returned, the nanny had been knocked out, and he didn't know who had taken the child.

When he and his wife had reported the crime and were preparing to lock down the Shi family, search every household's vehicles, and definitely find their daughter, they instead received news from the Shi family's medical team that the child was being rescued in the lakeside corridor.

The ones who found her were the Zhu and Su families' children, but the place they found her was in the lake!

Just hearing the waiter's description, Shi Xu could feel the sinister malice behind that person. If he followed what he and his wife had planned, he would not only fail to find the child, but would also offend all the guests present.

His child would die silently at the lake bottom, possibly surfacing that night or the next day.

"Waa waa waa!"

The child's cries rang out, yet everyone present let out a sigh of relief.

"My child!"

Mingmeng rushed in despite Shi Xu's attempts to stop her.

Su Yu peeked furtively, seeing that the child was still wrapped in her little suit.

"???"

【Don't they have any clothes? Why is my little suit still wrapped around the child?】

Shi Xu was ultimately calmer, "Doctor, how is the child?"

"The preliminary diagnosis is that the child's body is normal, with no water inhalation. We suspect the coma was caused by medication and recommend a more detailed examination. She fell from a height; although she landed in water, the impact of a high fall could affect the child, and we must determine that only after the examination."

"Okay!"

Shi Xu looked at his wife. Mingmeng held the child and followed the doctor away. The child stopped crying, but with tear-filled eyes she looked up at Mingmeng, a pitiful yet dependent expression that made Shi Xu's heart ache.

"Thank you!"

Shi Xu bowed to Su Yu and Liang Yan, but Su Yu and Liang Yan dodged.

Su Yu sighed silently, 【Thanking us is useless; if you don't go over and watch the child right now, your child will disappear again later. Nervous illness doesn't follow reason. He's convinced that isn't his granddaughter, so he'll definitely find a way to get rid of her. To be honest, Shi Xu is useless—he doesn't even realize his own father has mental problems and is being controlled by Shi Yu.】

Su Xi again experienced the shock of the news that Su Yu almost had an accident, his heart softened. After hearing Su Yu's thoughts, he stepped forward and said, "Whoever could throw your child down from your house certainly has more than just this trick—hurry back and watch the child, don't leave."

"Okay!"

As Su Xi brushed past them, he lowered his head and patted Shi Xu's shoulder.

"Children are hard to raise..."

As Shi Xu brushed past Su Xi, hearing the faint words, his steps halted; a few seconds later he ran off to chase after his wife and daughter.

"Why is he acting so strange?"

Su Yu watched Shi Xu, who ran heedless of his appearance, feeling somewhat confused.

"This is normal; he's a good father, very worried about his child."

【Really? I feel like Uncle is just brushing me off.】

"Why hasn't Liang Lijiang arrived yet?"
