Chapter 1174 - Their First Collaboration (10)

The junior nurse was alarmed and gave him a harder push. Lu Nanze’s body immediately fell on its side. She was shocked and then saw that blood was trickling from the side of his mouth.

The junior nurse became anxious and yelled, “Someone, come over here quickly!”

Qiao Lian had remained conscious as she was pushed into the emergency room. Here, the doctor gave her a full body examination.

The checkup results showed that the child was alright, but there was apparently a slight threat to suffer a miscarriage. In the days that followed, she was to take adequate rest.

Both Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan felt that they had been lucky.

As long as the child was alright, then there was a chance and it wasn’t too late.

They silently sighed in relief. Following this, they were taken to a normal ward for monitoring.

After settling down in the ward, Qiao Lian looked at Shen Liangchuan. Having been through an abduction ordeal, normality felt like something that had happened a lifetime ago.

She suddenly reached out to hold him tightly.

Breathing in his familiar scent slowly calmed her down from how panic-stricken she had felt.

The fact was that even now, when she recalled charging back into the room with a knife, she felt post-traumatic anxiety.

If she had lost the baby then, she didn’t know if she would have ever forgiven herself.

But luckily, it wasn’t too late.

As she held onto him, she felt his warm hand patting her ever so gently, almost as if it was afraid any sort of strength would hurt her.

Biting her lip, tears began to roll down her face.

Her breathing and emotions calmed down after a while and she looked up at Shen Liangchuan, asking, “How is Lu Nanze?”

The man’s pupils shrank immediately.

Qiao Lian looked intently at him. He said after a pause, “Two of his ribs were broken and that has injured his lungs. He’s in an emergency operation.”

Qiao Lian sat in her wheelchair outside the operating theatre, anxiously looking at the lit up sign above the door.

Lu Nanze was in an operation, his life was in danger.

The doctor went in and out of the operating theater hurriedly, making her restless and worried.

As she was waiting, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching.

Turning around, Qiao Lian saw Dad Lu and Qiao Yiyi hurrying towards them.

Qiao Yiyi immediately started crying as she looked at the operating theater’s door. “Second Brother, Second Brother, you’ll be alright! Second Brother!”

Dad Lu furrowed his brow as he peered into the theatre. But when he shifted his gaze and saw Qiao Lian, he looked stunned and said after a pause, “Little Qiao Lian, it’s you!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As Qiao Lian looked back at him, a hint of hatred grew in her eyes. “Uncle Lu.”

Dad Lu frowned.

They exchanged a look, but neither of them spoke.

It didn’t take long for Qiao Yiyi to break the silence between them.

She immediately went up to Qiao Lian and grabbed her arms, hollering, “You tr*mp! You did this to Second Brother! Tr*mp! If he hadn’t tried to rescue you, do you think he would have ended up like this? If Second Brother dies, you’d better accompany him to his grave!”

Qiao Lian snapped out of her daze.

She sprang to her feet, shrugged off the grip on her shoulders immediately and delivered a vicious slap right across Qiao Yiyi’s cheek.

Bam.

The crisp and sharp slap echoed through the floor of the building.

Everyone turned and looked at them in disbelief. Then Qiao Lian spoke with a serious expression, “Qiao Yiyi, I should be the one saying that to you! If Second Brother dies, I will make sure you accompany him to his grave!”
