If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 741: Chapter 741: Signs of a Miscarriage
 

This time, Wen Zhiyuan didn’t stop her.

The female doctor brushed past Wen Zhiyuan, expressionless as she walked by, bringing a breeze with her.

As she reached the door, she didn’t look back and simply said, “Dr. Wen, please remember to close the door.”

After that, she left the department.

Wen Zhiyuan walked to the window, looking out into the night with the help of the light from inside.

He stared straight ahead, silent.

The female doctor wasn’t the least bit guilty. Logically, if she had done something, she should have been evasive. But she was calm, perhaps because she had a strong mentality.

Wen Zhiyuan was thinking of ways he could help Xu Chaomu.

To get Shen Cexian to draw blood again was completely impossible now.

And so, Wen Zhiyuan stood alone by the window, gazing straight ahead, his silhouette elongated by the light…

Inside and outside, it was all quiet, not a sound to be heard.

In the ward, after Wen Zhiyuan left, Xu Chaomu had not fallen asleep; she just lay carefully in bed, silent.

The lights were out; she stared with open eyes but couldn’t see anything.

In front of her, the 99.99% kept stabbing at every nerve of hers.

What should she do, what else could she do.

She had told Shen Cexian, “If the result is still the same, I will abort the child in my stomach and leave C City forever. That’s assuming you, my biological father, give me some money.”@@novelbin@@

Biological father… ah, what an ironic phrase.

In her heart, she didn’t need a father at all. To her, a father was an utterly dispensable presence!

But why did fate play such a trick on her? Why was Shen Cexian her father?

She had known since she was ten that Shen Cexian knew her mother, but in all those years, it never occurred to her that Shen Cexian could be her father.

Perhaps, he didn’t have the feel she imagined a father would have.

As a child, she fantasized about what her father would be like. Her father should be very gentle, take her places to play, make her laugh, amuse her.

But no matter what, it definitely would not be someone like Shen Cexian.

How could a man like Shen Cexian be her father!

Xu Chaomu’s mind was a mess, with thoughts springing up one after another…

If Shen Cexian was her father, then she and Shen Chi were half-siblings with different mothers, and her carrying Shen Chi’s child was a taboo!

But… she really loved Shen Chi, she loved him so much…

Why did it have to be like this…

Two lines of cold tears streamed down from her eyes, rolling down her cheeks and onto the pillow.

She cried, her soft sobs filling the ward.

“Fourth Brother… Fourth Brother…” she cried out for him, feeling an excruciating pain in her chest.

This feeling was just like five years ago, in the depth of the night when she thought of him, her chest would ache terribly.

Back then, she would call out for him, remembering the happy times spent together with him…

Apart from scolding her, he had always been the best to her.

He couldn’t bear to see anyone bully her, to see her sad, so those eight years were truly the happiest time of her life so far…

She didn’t want him as her brother; he was her husband, the man she relied on the most in her life.

“Fourth Brother…” she cried until she could cry no more.

Her chest hurt so much that she curled up, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket.

Despite doing so, she still couldn’t ease the pain in her heart.

Perhaps because she had cried for too long and was very agitated, a dull pain started in her stomach.

At first, it was just some cramping, and she thought it was the baby in her stomach kicking her, but the pain grew fiercer and fiercer. She bit her lip to endure, but it still hurt so much.

Beads of sweat as large as soybeans formed on her forehead, and as the sweat mixed with her tears, they both dripped onto the pillow, dampening it.

“Fourth Brother…” she called for him, but all that answered her was the boundless quiet.

In agony, she clutched the bedsheets, wishing she could tear them apart.

The pain in her body combined with the pain in her heart made her feel life was not worth living.

This feeling, which she’d experienced once five years ago, she’d never thought would come back to haunt her now.

She clung tightly to the bedsheets, the pain in her stomach almost numbing her into losing all sensation, her mind filled with a roaring sound as if countless bees were buzzing around her ears…

“It hurts… Fourth Brother… Fourth Brother…” At times like this, it was him she thought of the most.

At this moment, she longed to hear his voice, longed for him to hold her, longed to seek refuge in his arms…

But in the darkness, it was as though all hope had been extinguished; there was nothing.

She wanted to call him, but she was utterly drained of strength, like a discarded rag doll…

She struggled, attempting to reach for her phone by the bed.

She thought, if one day she truly couldn’t go on, his voice was what she’d want to hear the most, and him the person she’d want to see.

In the darkness, she reached out forcefully for her phone.

She didn’t know what time it was now, but she knew he must be sleeping; would he resent her?

As the pain in her stomach came in waves, just as her hand was about to reach the phone, it fell powerlessly.

She had tried her best, truly, but she just didn’t have the strength anymore…

She couldn’t even call out his name now; sweat had already soaked her collar and pillow…

Her stomach hurt so much; she didn’t know if this was a sign of a miscarriage…

Her child, hers and Shen Chi’s child…

Suddenly, with a sharp pain in her abdomen, her vision went black, and she passed out.

“Quick, take her to the operating room.”

“Does she have any family members?”

“Dr. Wen is her friend, I’ll call Dr. Wen!”

…

In a daze, Xu Chaomu heard voices around her, loud and confusing, as she frowned in pain.

Had she just passed out? How long had she been unconscious?

Her hand was still clutching the sheets tightly, unable to relax. Because her stomach still hurt.

She opened her eyes, feeling her forehead and back all wet, drenched in sweat.

Even more, she felt streams of warmth flowing from her thighs.

No, no, her child…

“Baby, baby…” Xu Chaomu called weakly.

She wanted to lift the blanket and look, but her body felt like it was laden with lead, completely numb. She felt utterly crushed, tormented by pain.

“Miss, don’t move; we’re taking you to the operating room right now!”

“No… my child…” Xu Chaomu shook her head, vigorously shaking it.

The nurse took her hand, consoling her, “Don’t worry, it’s just a little bleeding, everything will be fine, we discovered it in time, and we will do our best to save your child.”

Xu Chaomu half-opened her eyes; in front of her was the nurse’s white uniform, fluttering in and out of her vision, causing a painful sting in her eyes.

It turned out it was already daylight.

She had just passed out, for a long time.
