Chapter 733 - Hiding Her

When she heard Yu Chenshi’s voice, a sense of unease welled up in Ling Tianya’s heart. Yet, she didn’t tell Yu Chenshi the truth.

Yu Chenshi was innocent, and Ling Tianya didn’t want her to have to agonize over the wrongdoings committed by Yu Meizi in her old age.

Besides, Ling Tianya genuinely didn’t want to lose Yu Chenshi. If Yu Chenshi knew the truth, she would definitely feel guilty towards Ling Tianya and would not want to trouble Ling Tianya again. She might even disappear from Ling Tianya’s life forever. That wasn’t what Ling Tianya wanted.

Ling Tianya promised to investigate the matter while comforting Yu Chenshi and telling her not to worry anymore.

Ling Tianya told Yu Chenshi that Yu Meizi had quarreled with Zhang Chao and thus had left with Zhang Zihao.

After she heard that Yu Meizi and Zhang Chao had only quarreled, Yu Chenshi’s heart was finally at ease. Anyways, Yu Meizi had disappeared for so many years before. Yu Chenshi didn’t pay too much attention to it this time. Yu Chenshi had already given up hope on her daughter. Now, she only wanted to know that Yu Meizi was safe. As for where Yu Meizi was, she didn’t care anymore.

Yu Meizi had cruelly left the severely ill Zhang Chao behind in the hospital. The hospital couldn’t contact Yu Meizi and had to go through the police to get in touch with Zhang Chao’s older brother.

Though Zhang Chao’s older brother hadn’t been in contact for many years when he came to the hospital and saw his dying younger brother, a wave of disgust still came over him.

When Zhang Chao’s brother’s family first saw the state Zhang Chao was in, they thought of getting some compensation. However, when they heard from the police that Zhang Chao was stabbed because he was trying to rape a young girl, they instantly lost their feelings of indignance.

When they heard that the other party was a mentally ill girl and that Zhang Chao could be charged with attempted rape any time, they completely killed the thought of acquiring compensation.

Zhang Chao’s brother’s family didn’t have a lot of money. They hadn’t had any contact with Zhang Chao for many years either, so even if they did have money, they wouldn’t want to spend it on him.

In the end, Zhang Chao was carried out of the hospital by his brother’s family while still in that state. The doctor judged that without any form of treatment, Zhang Chao wouldn’t be able to live more than a month. After going back, he would just be waiting for death.

In a blink of an eye, Ling Tianya had gone from being seven-and-a-half months pregnant to eight-and-a-half months pregnant.

Because of everything that was happening in the Ling family, plus the matter with Yu Meizi, Ling Tianya was exhausted both mentally and physically. Her emotions had also been very unstable. Over the past month, she had felt a slight pain in her tummy numerous times.

The first few times, Ling Tianya had forced herself to quietly endure it. She didn’t want to cause the elders in the Ruan family to panic, nor did she want Ruan Zeyan to worry about her.

However, after another few times, she couldn’t hold it in anymore. The pain made her extremely uneasy.

In the end, she couldn’t keep the tummy cramps a secret from the Ruan family. Ruan Zeyan immediately took her to the hospital. Afterward, in order to make Ling Tianya rest, he moved the doctor and medical equipment into the house.

However, the advice given by the doctor was more or less useless. The baby’s position was not ideal, and her cramps were being caused by big changes in her emotions as well as over-exertion on both her body and mind. The doctor had already told her to rest properly, and if she had listened, the cramps wouldn’t have been so bad. Now, they could only monitor the condition of both the mother and child. The moment anything went wrong, the doctor would immediately perform a C-section.

Ling Tianya was forbidden to leave the house. Ruan Zeyan even ordered her not to leave the room, not even the bed.

She felt as if she was being hidden away by Ruan Zeyan, and he put aside all his work to guard her all day. If she made any slight movements, he would immediately come over and anxiously ask if she was feeling unwell.
