Chapter 612: Chapter 612 - Do You Think I Can’t Do Anything About You

Qi Xiwei had her heart set on seeing the child.

“Xiwei, your body is very weak now. Why don’t you wait until you’ve recovered a little before you go?”

“I know my body is very weak. I’ll just go and take a look. Is it okay to take a look?”

After she finished speaking in a hoarse voice, Qi Xiwei was about to sit up when Huo Jinyao stopped her in time.

“Xiwei, wait a minute.” Huo Jinyao was at a loss for words when he saw her in this state.

“What?”

Huo Jinyao closed his eyes. He felt a little helpless, but he had to say it.

“You... You lost your child.”

Qi Xiwei was completely stunned. She blinked her eyes, as if she didn’t know what expression to put on.

She looked at Huo Jinyao with a fixed gaze. After Huo Jinyao said that, he couldn’t continue his sentence. He could only look at her.

A few minutes passed, and Qi Xiwei finally found her voice.

“Jinyao, you... you’re joking, right?”

Huo Jinyao’s expression was evasive. Not everyone could remain indifferent to the loss of a life.

“Jinyao, this joke isn’t funny.”

Her face full of denial, she smiled slightly. It was obvious that she didn’t want to believe Huo Jinyao’s words.

Huo Jinyao knew that she wouldn’t accept it just like that, but there were some things that he still had to say.

“Xiwei, your health isn’t very good. This child wasn’t breathing after birth. I give you my condolences.”

He wasn’t very good at comforting people. His feeble words of comfort sounded more or less powerless.

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Qi Xiwei didn’t accept this outcome. “Impossible. That’s impossible. I clearly felt him moving in my stomach yesterday. He’s fine, he’s clearly fine.”

Her expression became agitated, and Huo Jinyao’s face was full of helplessness.

“Xiwei, calm down.”

“I don’t believe it. My child. I want my child. I believe don’t he’s dead. You lied to me. You must be lying to me.”

Qi Xiwei sat up and reached out to pull the needle out of her hand. Huo Jinyao quickly stopped her.

He held her hand down and didn’t let her move.

“Xiwei, calm down. Your child is gone. He left. Calm down. Don’t let him leave in peace.”

“You’re talking nonsense. You lied to me. I don’t believe it. I don’t believe a word of it. Go away.”

Qi Xiwei struggled to get up. She was determined to pull out her needle. She was determined to take a look at her child.

She had just given birth and shouldn’t have much strength, but now that she was stubborn, Huo Jinyao was afraid that he might accidentally hurt her. He couldn’t hold her back for a moment.

“Xiwei, calm down.”

“Get out of my way. Go away. I want to see my child. I want to see him.”

Qi Xiwei wasn’t willing to listen to Huo Jinyao at all. She was determined to pull out her needle.

When Su Qingsang pushed the door open, what she saw was this scene.

Qi Xiwei seemed to be about to get up, but Huo Jinyao pressed down on her. From her point of view, the two seemed to be hugging each other.

“Xiwei, calm down.”

“Go away, I hate you. You lied to me. My child is fine. She’s not dead. You lied to me. Go away.”

Su Qingsang listened to the conversation between the two of them. What else could she not understand? She frowned slightly and was about to step forward.

Qi Xiwei’s body was already weak, and her emotions were fluctuating wildly. Before Su Qingsang could help Huo Jinyao calm her down, she had already fainted.

“Xiwei? Xiwei?”

“Excuse me, let me take a look at her.”

Upon seeing Su Qingsang enter the room, Huo Jinyao moved to the side and said, “Qingsang, you’re here? Quickly take a look at her. She’s unconscious.”

“I know.”

Su Qingsang stepped forward to examine Qi Xiwei. A few minutes later, she looked at Huo Jinyao with a grave expression.

“She wasn’t in good health to begin with, and her previous pregnancy had consumed too much of her vital energy. Although the wound hasn’t opened, her vital energy and blood are insufficient, and her body is very weak. If possible, try not to agitate her again.”

Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang. She was now completely a professional doctor.

He knew that what she said made sense, but there were some things that he couldn’t control. “She became like this after hearing that the child was gone.”

Huo Jinyao’s voice was very low. Whether it was because of their friendship as formeer classmates or the fact that she saved his life previously, he didn’t want Qi Xiwei to become like this.

Su Qingsang glanced at Qi Xiwei, who was on the hospital bed, and said softly, “Give her some time. I believe she will slowly accept it.”

Su Qingsang had been in the hospital for a long time. She had seen a lot of situations like this.

Huo Jinyao was silent. He was only worried that Qi Xiwei wouldn’t be able to accept it in the end. After all, he could feel how much she cared about this child.

“Have you eaten?” Su Qingsang looked at Huo Jinyao’s grave expression and then looked at the time. It was already past eight o’clock in the evening.

“A little.” Yang Wenchang had brought him dinner when he was dealing with business, but he didn’t have much of an appetite.

“How about you? Have you eaten?” Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang’s white coat. Was she on duty today?

“Yes.” Su Qingsang was on duty today. She had just gone to the cafeteria to eat. “By the way, have you hired a nurse for her?”

“Yes. The nurse will come over later.”

Su Qingsang tilted her head to look at him. Her gaze was unreadable. “You’re not thinking of staying here with her today, are you?”

“She doesn’t have any other relatives right now. I can’t just abandon her.”

His words were enough to explain his intentions. Su Qingsang took two steps forward and stood in front of Huo Jinyao.

“Should I compliment you for being a good person, or should I say that you don’t know your limits and don’t know how to keep your distance from other women?”

Huo Jinyao looked at the expressionless Su Qingsang. “Are you angry?”

“Can’t I be angry?” Su Qingsang shrugged. “My husband plans to stay here with another woman for one night. Do you think I can’t be angry?”

“She’s in a special situation now.”

“So, she needs you to accompany her? Can’t she hire a nurse?”

“Qingsang?” She wasn’t usually this petty. Huo Jinyao was a little anxious and wanted to explain himself. “Qingsang, she just lost her child and isn’t in a stable mood. She doesn’t have any relatives in Rong City. I just want to –”

“I’m just teasing you.” Su Qingsang glanced at him and smiled. “It’s okay. You stay here. I’ll go on the night shift. I’ll come over to accompany you when I’m free later.”

“Qingsang.” Huo Jinyao looked at her and was surprised. “You’re really not angry?”

“I’m really not.” Su Qingsang looked at the time. She still had to check the room. “Alright, you stay here with her. I’m not such a petty person.”

Huo Jinyao was relieved. He reached out and rubbed Su Qingsang’s hair. “You.”

“Alright, I’m leaving.”

Su Qingsang was about to leave, but Huo Jinyao reached out and hugged her. He owed Qi Xiwei a favor. She had no other family in Rong Cty, so there was no one else who could help her.

“What? Are you touched?” Su Qingsang turned to look at him with a faint smile in her eyes. “If you’re touched, remember to treat me well. Otherwise, I won’t let you go.”

“Don’t worry, that day won’t come.”

After Su Qingsang left, the nurse came as well. The nurse was a woman in her thirties, and surnamed Jiang. Because Qi Xiwei’s condition wasn’t stable today, Huo Jinyao told her to go back first and come back tomorrow morning.

He stayed in the ward to deal with work. Qi Xiwei didn’t wake up until then.

He had just finished dealing with all his work, and the information on the computer was saved. Just as he was about to get up and exercise, the door of the ward was pushed open.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of him was Lian Jin. Upon seeing him, Huo Jinyao’s expression didn’t look too pleasant.

“What are you doing here?”

Lian Jin didn’t even look at him. He walked past him and was about to walk in. His face still had the injuries that Huo Jinyao had previously inflicted on it. There were bruises on his face and a few other places.

All of these made him look a little sheepish. Huo Jinyao stood in front of him and said coldly as he looked at the injuries on his face.

“What? Are you still thinking of getting beaten up by me again?”

“Get out of my way.” Lian Jin reached out his hand to push Huo Jinyao away. “I’m here to see my wife. What does it have to do with you?”

“So what if Xiwei is your wife? I only know that she doesn’t want to see you now, and she won’t see you either.”

“Get out of my way. It’s none of your business.”

Lian Jin rushed forward to wake Qi Xiwei up, but his eye narrowing fiercely, Huo Jinyao blocked his way with one hand.

“If you don’t want me to call someone to throw you out of the hospital, you can keep moving forward.”

Lian Jin had suffered at Huo Jinyao’s hands before. Looking at his expression, he nodded hatefully.

“Okay, okay. I don’t have to wake her up. Give me the child, and I’ll leave now.”

Huo Jinyao’s expression changed slightly at the mention of the child.

“She doesn’t have a child anymore.”

“What do you mean?”

“They didn’t manage to save the child.”

“They didn’t manage to save the Child?” Lian Jin was stunned for a moment, but he soon laughed. “Don’t try to lie to me. It’s impossible. How could they not be able to save the child?”

“They really didn’t save the child. If you’re here to have the child, you can go back now.”

Lian Jin laughed coldly. He took a step forward and looked at Huo Jinyao.

“Where did you hide the child?”

“Nowhere. I told you, they didn’t save the child.” Huo Jinyao’s face was filled with regret as he thought of the child.

“Heh, do you think I’ll believe you if you say that?”

“You don’t have to believe me. You can ask the doctor. The child was really stillborn.”

Lian Jin nodded. “Ask the doctor? Your Huo family is a big family. How do I know that you didn’t collude with the doctor?”

“If you think that way, I can’t do anything about it.” Huo Jinyao’s brows furrowed. He glanced at Qi Xiwei, who was still frowning even after she fell asleep on the bed. He spoke very softly.

Lian Jin didn’t believe Huo Jinyao at all.

“Don’t think that I don’t know. You know those doctors.”

He spent a lot of effort to find this place. Not only did he find this place, but he also got clear details. The doctor who performed the surgery was called Su Qingsang.

He also found out that Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang were husband and wife.

Huo Jinyao furrowed his brows. The man in front of him didn’t make sense at all. Lian Jin didn’t want to talk to Huo Jinyao properly either.

“Hand over the child and I’ll leave. Otherwise, I won’t hold back.”

“I told you, the child wasn’t rescued. It’s useless for you to look for me.”

“Not rescued? How can you be so calm if the child wasn’t rescued rescued?” Lian Jin didn’t believe it at all. “I don’t care. Hand over the child for me.”

Huo Jinyao couldn’t communicate with Lian Jin, and he didn’t want Lian Jin to wake up Qi Xiwei.

She was already very agitated, and if she became agitated again when she saw Lian Jin, something would happen. That wasn’t what he wanted to see.

He didn’t respond, and Lian Jin became more and more nagging. He was convinced that Huo Jinyao was guilty.

Huo Jinyao felt impatient over his nagging. He sent a message to Yang Wenchang and asked him to call a few people over.

Lian Jin was still pestering him, and Huo Jinyao lost his patience. Almost as soon as Yang Wenchang came up, he signaled that he could take Lian Jin away.

How could Lian Jin leave just like that? He hadn’t even seen his own child yet.

He started to make a scene again, but it was no use this time. The people that Yang Wenchang brought were quite powerful. They dragged Lian Jin away just like that.

Lian Jin was taken away by Yang Wenchang’s men. His shoulder was clasped by the special forces, and he couldn’t move at all.

He wasn’t short of money, but he glared at Huo Jinyao as he left.

“Huo Jinyao, I won’t let this go. Let me tell you, if you don’t give me the child, I’m not done with you.”

“You can think whatever you want. I’ll say it again. The child wasn’t resuscitated and is no longer living.”

He waved his hand and had Lian Jin dragged out. After Lian Jin was taken away, the ward returned to silence.

Su Qingsang was shocked by what happened. She came over and asked Huo Jinyao about the situation with concern.

“It’s fine. It’s all taken care of.”

Huo Jinyao saw the concern in Su Qingsang’s eyes and smiled at her. “Are you done with your night shift? Do you want to rest?”

“No, I’m on a long night shift today. I won’t be leaving until tomorrow morning.”

Su Qingsang looked in Qi Xiwei’s direction and asked, “Still not awake?”

“No.” She hadn’t woken up even after all the commotion just now. Huo Jinyao couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

“She’s fine. She’s just too weak. Let her sleep for a while.”

Su Qingsang had checked Qi Xiwei thoroughly and found that there was nothing wrong with her body. She was still too weak. It was normal for her to be unconscious for a long period of time.

However, Qi Xiwei was unconscious for an ev en longer period of time, and she slept until the next morning.

Xiao Jiang, the nurse, arrived. Huo Jinyao had slept in the ward for almost the entire day. Su Qingsang had come to visit him several times.

When he saw that Qi Xiwei had woken up, he asked Xiao Jiang to heat up the soup that he had asked Yang Wenchang to bring.

He turned around and saw Qi Xiwei staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.

“Xiwei, are you okay? How do you feel?”

Qi Xiwei didn’t seem to hear Huo Jinyao’s words at all. She maintained the same posture and stared at the ceiling above her head.

In this state, Qi Xiwei was even more worrisome than the hysterical Qi Xiwei yesterday.

“Xiwei? Can you say something?”

As if she didn’t hear him, Qi Xiwei didn’t respond.

“Xiwei, Qi Xiwei?”

Qi xiwei blinked and turned to look at Huo Jinyao.

“Why are you still here?”

“Xiwei, are you okay?”

“You can go.” Qi Xiwei looked at him, but her eyes didn’t seem to focus on him. “I’m fine, I’m fine.”

“Xiwei?” How could her current state be said to be fine? Huo Jinyao began to worry.

“You can go. I said I’m fine.” Upon seeing that Huo Jinyao was standing there motionlessly, she added, “You’ve been waiting here for me all night, right? Aren’t you afraid that your wife will misunderstand? You should leave quickly.”

“She won’t misunderstand. I’ve told her before.”

“No woman would be so generous. I don’t mind this.” Qi Xiwei looked at him expressionlessly. “You can go. I want to be alone for a while.”

After she said that, Huo Jinyao had no choice but to leave. Before he left, he looked at Qi Xiwei with a worried expression.

“Xiwei, call me if you need anything.”

Tianyu Group was very close to the Central Hospital. Su Qingsang was also there. He would inform her and ask the other doctors to keep an eye on her.

Qi Xiwei saw that Huo Jinyao still wasn’t moving. “Leave. I told you, I want to be alone.”

Huo Jinyao had no choice but to leave. He wanted Xiao Jiang to stay, but even she was chased away by Qi Xiwei.

Huo Jinyao walked to the door and took one last look at Qi Xiwei. “Xiwei, you have to calm down. I told you to calm down. Xiao Jiang is right outside. If there’s anything, just let her know.”

He thought of the two pregnant women who had an accident at Su Qingsang Hospital back in Lin City. His back felt cold.

“Xiwei, no matter what you’re thinking now, you have to remember that your life is the most important thing. Nothing is more important than life.”

Qi Xiwei heard what he said and turned to look at Huo Jinyao in confusion.

“What? Do you think I’ll commit suicide? Don’t worry. I won’t do such a cowardly thing.”

After saying that, she closed her eyes and refused to look at Huo Jinyao again.

Huo Jinyao felt rather helpless and had no choice but to leave. Before he left, he instructed Xiao Jiang to guard the door and pay attention to the movements inside.

After leaving the ward, he headed straight to Su Qingsang’s office. She had worked the night shift and was already very tired.

She was currently sleeping on the small bed in the on-call room. Upon seeing Huo Jinyao, she yawned and sat up.

“Why are you here? Have you had breakfast?”

“Yes.” Huo Jinyao nodded. Looking at the tired look on her face, he felt a little heartache. “Didn’t you get off work? Why aren’t you home yet?”

“I’ll be back in a while. I have a meeting at the hospital later. I’ll go home after the meeting.”

“Don’t be too tired. If you’re not up for that meeting, ask Director Sun to apply for leave for you.”

“No way, it’s just a meeting. How tired could I be? Don’t keep thinking about giving me special treatment.” Su Qingsang stretched and became much more awake.

Her gaze fell on Huo Jinyao. He seemed to be in good spirits.

“How is she? Is she awake? Is she okay?”

“She’s awake. She’s fine for the time being.” Huo Jinyao thought of Qi Xiwei’s behavior just now and thought she was too calm. She was so calm that she didn’t look like someone who had just lost a child.

He told Su Qingsang about her condition, and there was a hint of worry in his tone. “Do you think she’s taking things too hard?”

In fact, the Qi Xiwei he knew was a strong-willed and resilient person.

However, he could tell that Qi Xiwei’s condition obviously hadn’t been good recently. He was afraid that she would be impulsive or take things too hard.

“I don’t know.” Su Qingsang shook her head. Some women could recover gradually after losing their children, but some people had to spend a long time to recover from that kind of pain.

“I’ll take a look at her later. I think my status as a doctor undoubtedly can make her feel better.”

“Okay. Thank you for your hard work.”

“Your friend is also considered my friend. Besides, she’s my patient. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure the other colleagues keep an eye on her.”

“Okay.”

Huo Jinyao was naturally willing to believe that Qi Xiwei wasn’t such a fragile person. He still had some matters to attend to at the office. After asking Su Qingsang to take care of her for a while, he left.

Su Qingsang looked at the time. There was still nearly an hour left before the meeting. She went back to take a nap.

When she woke up, she washed her face in the bathroom in the on-call room to clear her head. After she cleaned herself up, she headed to the conference room.

The doctors in the obstetrics and gynecology department, Director Sun, deputy director Shen, Yang Lu, Zheng Chenyu, and Ling Fei were all present.

There were also some people from other departments. Su Qingsang knew some of them, but she didn’t know some of them either.

The meeting began very quickly. Su Qingsang didn’t listen for long before the door of the meeting room was pushed open. The head nurse, Li Meilin, stood at the door. Behind her were two policemen in uniform.

Everyone was looking at the door. Su Qingsang looked at Li Meilin as well. What was going on in front of her?

“Police officer?”

The deputy director of the meeting, Zhou Shaonan, stood up. Before he could speak, two police officers had already stood in front of Su Qingsang.

“Are you Su Qingsang?”

The two police officers looked at Su Qingsang up and down as if they were confirming her identity. One of the older female police officers was the first to ask.

“Yes. I’m Su Qingsang.” Su Qingsang was sitting near the conference room. After she was suddenly questioned by the police, she stood up as well.

“Are you a doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department?”

“Yes.” Su Qingsang blinked her eyes and reflexively looked at Sun Huiya.

Sun Huiya was also a little confused. Her eyes were full of worry. She didn’t understand why the police were asking these questions.

“Yesterday, you delivered a child to a pregnant woman?”

“Yes.”

The policewoman’s voice was a little cold.

Su Qingsang nodded. Yesterday, she only performed one delivery operation, which was Qi Xiwei’s.

“Is that child dead?”

“Yes.”

Su Qingsang nodded. She didn’t understand what the policewoman wanted to ask.

The policewoman took out her ID and looked at Su Qingsang with a serious expression.

“Ms. Su Qingsang, we suspect that you are involved in a murder case. Please come with us to assist in the investigation.”

“What?” Su Qingsang thought she heard wrong for a moment. “What case did you say?”

“Murder case.” The policewoman’s attitude was decent, and she repeated, “You are suspected of murdering Ms. Qi Xiwei’s newborn baby. Now, please come with us.”

Su Qingsang’s lips moved. This time, she glanced at Sun Huiya again.

Sun Huiya was already anxious when she heard this. She stood up and walked to Su Qingsang’s side.

“Police, are you mistaken? Qingsang is just a doctor. The child’s miscarriage had nothing to do with her. Here’s the thing –”

“I’m sorry. Whether she did it or not, we need to let her go and help us with the investigation.”

“But that’s not the case at all.”

“If not, naturally we will clear her name. Now, come with us.”

The two police officers didn’t listen to Sun Huiya and directly took Su Qingsang away.
