The doctor was caught in a fix. “Mr. Li, it’s difficult to stabilize the patient’s condition if we don’t inject her!”

Li Lei bent over and held Xia Ling’s hand, whispering to her, “Xiao Ling, hang in there, you’ll be fine.” He looked up at the doctor and a cold expression took over his face. “You have to stabilize her condition. If anything happens to her, I’ll bury you along!” He knew very well that Pei Ziheng wished for Xiao Ling to have a miscarriage, how could he trust the Pei family doctor?

The doctor was at a loss.

On the way here, Mr. Pei did give him instructions to get rid of that baby, but he also made it clear that he had to keep Miss Ling alive at all costs. If anything were to happen to Miss Ling, Mr. Pei would kill him first before Li Lei did!

The doctor wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Regarding the injection, I think you should consider further...”

Pei Ziheng said to Li Lei, “This isn’t the time to be rash, let the doctor give her the injection.”

Li Lei’s eyes were almost like a wolf’s. He glared at Pei Ziheng. “Get out.”

Pei Ziheng said, “Li Lei, don’t you forget whose territory you’re on!”

Li Lei did not bother to let him go on. He swiftly whipped a gun out and shot Pei Ziheng on the leg! A patch of blood began spreading on Pei Ziheng’s pants as he stumbled to the floor. “Li Lei, you...”

Li Lei’s gun was still pointed at him steadily.

The doctor screamed in delayed fright. With that, Li Lei turned said in a cold voice, “Make sure Xiao Ling is treated. If anything happens to the mother or child, I’ll chop off your limbs. If both of them are affected, I’ll feed you to the sharks—don’t doubt my words, too many people have lost their lives in my hands, you wouldn’t make a difference.”

The doctor’s legs were shaking. He knew full well that the man before him wasn’t kidding.

Second Young Master Li was known to be ruthless since long ago, he was a true gang triad member! He took it in all seriousness! Looking at the pool of blood Pei Ziheng was in, the doctor picked up his apparatus with shaky hands. He no longer dared to mention the injection or medication and instead proceeded to use the least interfering methods of treating her.

He persevered at it for a long while.

Finally, someone entered. “Boss, the Li family’s ambulance...” Chu Chen stopped mid-sentence, utterly shocked by the scene. He saw that Pei Ziheng’s leg was soaked in blood and his face was pale as a sheet. Meanwhile, Li Lei’s gun had been pointed steadily at his forehead the entire time.

“Boss!” Chu Chen yelled and knelt before his boss. “Are you alright? Hang in there! I’ll help you up to get treatment!”

Pei Ziheng grabbed his hand with whatever energy he could muster and said, “I’m fine... Xiao Ling...”

At a point like this, he was still concerned about her?!

Chu Chen was so mad he wanted to give Pei Ziheng a slap on the face to snap him back to his senses, but he dared not act on it. He turned around and glanced at Xia Ling before shifting his view to Li Lei. “Li Lei!” Chu Chen yelled, “If anything happens to Boss do you really think Ye Xingling won’t hold it against you?! Put the gun down, let me take him to receive treatment!”

Li Lei’s expression darkened, but he lowered his gun anyway.

“Xiao Ling...” Pei Ziheng refused to go.

Chu Chen suppressed his anger towards his boss. “Doctor, how’s Ye Xingling doing?”

“The patient’s condition has stabilized,” the doctor replied cautiously. “She’s out of the woods.”

Chu Chen said to Pei Ziheng, “Did you hear that? Ye Xingling is fine! The Li family’s ambulance is already here, she’ll be receiving the best possible treatment! And if anything happens to you, isn’t that too good a deal for Li Lei?! You’ve got to be healthy and strong, only then can you win her back!”

Li Lei was speechless and kept quiet.

Manager Chu, what a talent you have in comforting people!

Chu Chen couldn’t care less about offending Li Lei. He looked at Pei Ziheng worriedly and said, “Boss, let me take you to the doctor, alright? We can’t wait any longer!”

Only then did Pei Ziheng nod his head and stagger out the room with his help.

On the other side, the Li family’s paramedics wheeled the unconscious Xia Ling out.

They did not send Xia Ling home. Instead, they took her to the best mother and child hospital in the city—the same hospital that Xia Ling did her tests in when she was expecting Shaohui. In the VIP ward, the doctor said, “Fortunately, she was sent here in time. She just needs to rest and be placed under observation for a while.”

Li Lei could finally heave a sigh of relief.

One full day later, Xia Ling regained consciousness. What greeted her was the white ceiling and the plant by the windows dotted with little flowers. Every once in a while, an image flashed before her—Valiant Song lying in a pool of blood.

She trembled.

Li Lei, who was right by her bedside, realized that she was awake. “Xiao Ling?”

Seeing that she wasn’t saying a word, he looked at her concernedly and wrapped her in an embrace. He relaxed only when he sensed that her body temperature and breathing were fine and normal. Yet, the words he uttered sounded mean, “I really wanted to kill you.”

She reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist.

He rested his head on hers and quietly said, “Do you know how worried I was? If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have taken you to see Valiant Song! Xiao Ling, this is an extraordinary period, if you or the child were to run into any trouble, I would never be able to forgive myself!” He got increasingly agitated as he said it.

Xia Ling hugged him even tighter. “I’m sorry.”

She did not know things would turn out this way too. Everything happened so fast, she wasn’t prepared either. Initially, she had thought that the worst-case scenario would be seeing Valiant Song’s grave, or Pei Ziheng refusing to let her take Valiant Song away. She never would’ve expected to witness such a bloody scene before her, involving that beautiful horse...

It was gone with a bang.

Tears began streaming down her face.

Li Lei felt her crying instantly and hurriedly held her face in his hands. “Xiao Ling, don’t cry. I didn’t mean to be fierce at you. I’m sorry, don’t get upset...”

She shook her head and choked on her tears as she held him.

It took a while before she finally composed herself and asked, “Valiant Song... what happened after that?”

Li Lei was a little disappointed. “Why aren’t you asking if our baby’s fine?”

Only then did Xia Ling give him a fleeting smile. “The baby’s fine, I know that.” As they say, mother and child always had an indescribable bond. She just knew that her baby was fine, and maybe telepathy was the only explanation.
