Chapter 3: Chapter 3

q In the hospital, Ning Ziqiang slapped Ning Ran hard right in front of the doctor.

“How much more shameless can you be! You’re only a freshman at university and you got pregnant before marriage? You’ve disgraced me!”

The doctor didn’t like what he saw and stopped him, “Mr. Ning, please don’t hit my patient. She is very weak so hitting her this hard could only lead to more problems.”

“What else could possibly happen to this shameless girl? I want the baby aborted!”

The doctor had a troubled look on his face, “Mr. Ning, she has underlying issues with fertility She may never be able to get pregnant again if she goes through an abortion.”

Lying on the hospital bed, a trace of hope flashed in Ning Ran’s tired eyes.

She looked at her father in a subconscious state.

“But we can’t keep this child either! You must abort it even if it costs her life.” Ning Ziqiang’s eyes reddened as he panted heavily like a savage beast.

The light in Ning Ran’s eyes dimmed gradually.

What was she expecting?

Her father had an affair with his secretary and left her mother to die. There was nothing he wouldn’t do.

Ning Ran’s very existence was a constant reminder of how he had conspired and connived to get to where he was. Then, he even threw his wife and daughter out of the house. She was but a thorn in his flesh.

Her tears flowed but she lowered her head obediently, “I’ll do as you say, dad. I’ll get an abortion.”

Luo Yi saw this and pretended to care as she said, “Ziqiang, don’t be mad at her. She is aware of her mistake. “

With a sympathetic look on her face, she stroked Ning Ran’s swollen cheek gently, “Look at you. You have hit her so hard. Ranran, don’t worry. Your mother may be gone but I’m here for you.”

“Just be a good girl and get the abortion done. Let’s forget about this and move on. I’ll treat you like my own daughter.”

The touch of Luo Yi’s slim, fair and tender hands was comforting. However, Ning Ran had to muster up all of her might to avoid being lured by her touch.

She was aware that those were the words from a venomous snake.

Ning Ran looked up at Luo Yi reliantly, “Thank you Aunt Luo.”

“We’re family. You don’t have to thank me.” Luo Yi said with a smile. A piercing cold darkness filled her eyes. What a fool. She no longer had to do anything now.

Ning Ran said with a timid smile, “Aunt Luo, I want to use the bathroom.”

She looked so naïve so Luo Yi agreed without a second thought.

Ning Ran walked out of the ward slowly towards the bathroom.

Luo Yi returned to the ward after she made sure Ning Ran was heading towards the bathroom.

She only realized something was amiss when Ning Ran had not returned after ten minutes.

“Ziqiang, do you think Ning Ran ran away?”

Ning Ziqiang’s expression changed and he bolted out of the ward immediately.

Luo Yi checked the bathroom but there was no sign of Ning Ran.

They ran out looking for her and saw a girl in clothes similar to Ning Ran walking away quickly.

“Ning Ran! Stay where you are!”

The girl ran straight ahead without looking back when she heard the voice…
