Lu Jinnan was worried about Bai Xiaonian and didn’t get an answer. He frowned and asked again, his voice sounding a little broken. “Where’s Xiaonian? Does she know?”

“Don’t worry, Bai Xiaonian doesn’t know that something happened to you!” Bai Jinyu placed the stethoscope back into his white coat pocket. “Old Fu asked Lin Nuan to take Bai Xiaonian to the Fu residence to take care of her. She told Bai Xiaonian that you and Old Fu went to Russia for an urgent meeting related to the turbine project. These two days, Old Fu hasn’t returned to the Fu residence either. He’s staying at a hotel nearby and has been keeping watch over you. He just left to take a shower and change his clothes.”

Lu Jinnan blinked, indicating that he understood. He then said in a raspy voice, “Thanks for the hard work!”

“Later, I’ll get the nurse to transfer you to the VIP ward!” Bai Jinyu had both hands in his pockets. “There’s something fishy about your car accident. Old Fu suspects that Cai Jingyao has some connection with Maynard Sanchez’s men. Even that drunk driver is suspicious. We have to investigate it carefully!”

“Mm! I want to talk about this too...” Lu Jinnan frowned.

Bai Jinyu lowered his head and said to Lu Jinnan, “Your driver has been following you for so many years. Don’t you think this is weird?”

Bai Jinyu was now like a flock of startled birds; she suspected everyone.

“Let’s wait for Tang Zheng’s investigation results!” Lu Jinnan said.

Bai Jinyu sighed, straightened his body, and said to Lu Jinnan, “Thankfully, you’ve woken up. Your Bai Xiaonian is smart. If you still don’t wake up, Lin Nuan might not be able to keep this matter a secret from her any longer! Great... now that you’re out of the critical period, you’ll be able to explain things to Bai Xiaonian!”

After experiencing life and death situations, Lu Jinnan indeed wanted to see Bai Xiaonian. His throat vibrated. “I want to see her...”

“Okay, I’ll call Sis-in-law right now and get her to bring your little darling to the hospital!” Bai Xiaonian smiled and teased Lu Jinnan before leaving the ward to call Lin Nuan.

Knowing that Lu Jinnan had woken up, Lin Nuan heaved a sigh of relief.

Ever since Bai Xiaonian came to the Fu residence, she had been counting the hours... When it was finally the time Lu Jinnan supposedly arrived in Russia, she called him!

The longer Lu Jinnan’s phone was turned off, the more uneasy Bai Xiaonian felt.

In the past two days, Bai Xiaonian already had obvious dark circles under her eyes. She didn’t eat well either...

After hanging up the call, Lin Nuan looked towards Bai Xiaonian, who was eagerly looking in her direction.

“Is it Fu Huai’an? Fu Huai’an called you, didn’t he? But Lu Jinnan’s phone is still turned off! Can you ask Fu Huai’an where Lu Jinnan is? If it’s convenient, can you let me talk to him? I can send a message too!” Bai Xiaonian supported herself against the sofa’s armrest and stood up. As she spoke, she walked towards Lin Nuan.

Lin Nuan held onto her phone and supported Bai Xiaonian as she said, “I’ll take you to see Lu Jinnan...”

“What?” Bai Xiaonian looked at Lin Nuan in a daze. “Is he back? Isn’t he in Russia?”

After helping Bai Xiaonian into the car, Lin Nuan said to her, “Actually, Lu Jinnan didn’t go to Russia for a meeting. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to be overly worried! Lu Jinnan got into a car accident on his way home that day...”

Bai Xiaonian was shocked.

Lin Nuan held Bai Xiaonian’s hand tightly and continued, “Don’t worry, Lu Jinnan is fine now! That’s why I dare to take you to see him now!”

“How could there be a car accident? Is it because he was rushing home?” Bai Xiaonian finally understood why she was so flustered that day. The feeling of being unable to calm down... was exactly the same as when her mother passed away in an accident many years ago.

After hearing Lin Nuan’s words, even though Bai Xiaonian knew that Lu Jinnan was no longer in danger, she was still incredibly upset. Tears welled up in her eyes as they trickled down. “Why was he so impatient? It’s not like I was running away from him! We spend time together every day, so why did he have to rush!”

The grumbling Bai Xiaonian’s heart ached terribly...

Lin Nuan said that Lu Jinnan had just woken up, so she could tell that he was seriously injured.

Bai Xiaonian gripped her shirt tightly and couldn’t hold back her emotions, her hands trembling.

“Your emotions can’t fluctuate too much! You must think about the child!” Lin Nuan held Bai Xiaonian’s hand and caressed her tummy.

Lin Nuan didn’t tell Bai Xiaonian the real reason behind Lu Jinnan’s accident. Otherwise, based on Bai Xiaonian’s fiery temper, she would definitely ignore that she was pregnant and sought Cai Jingyao to settle scores.

Regardless of whether Bai Xiaonian had the upper hand, being agitated wasn’t beneficial to Bai Xiaonian’s pregnancy, so Lin Nuan could only remind Bai Xiaonian about her own health.

As for Cai Jingyao, Lin Nuan narrowed her eyes...

After that time in Morocco, Lin Nuan had truly forgotten about this person.

How should she put it? Although Lin Nuan didn’t like Cai Jingyao much after Cai Jingyao snatched Lu Jinbei away from Bai Xiaonian, they hadn’t interacted much over the years. Moreover, their relationship was indeed pretty good in the past.

Lin Nuan had given Cai Jingyao some face. By now, Lin Nuan could tell that Cai Jingyao was becoming bolder. This time, she had even implicated Lu Jinnan into a car accident while Bai Xiaonian was pregnant, so Lin Nuan wasn’t planning to let her off so easily.

Lin Nuan had always had a peaceful personality and rarely got angry with anyone.

If Cai Jingyao had played such dirty tricks when Bai Xiaonian wasn’t pregnant, Lin Nuan knew Bai Xiaonian would be able to deal with Cai Jingyao herself. But now that Bai Xiaonian was pregnant, with Cai Jingyao having done something like this, Lin Nuan wasn’t going to tell Bai Xiaonian about it. She decided she would teach Cai Jingyao a lesson herself.

Cai Jingyao had been going back and forth between the police station and the hospital, Tang Zheng’s men’s priority was Lu Jinnan’s safety, as well as the rest’s, so they hadn’t had the time to deal with her. Therefore, when Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian arrived, they bumped into Cai Jingyao in the elevator at the hospital.

Cai Jingyao, whose face was pale and appeared pitiful, had a thermos in her hand. When she saw Lin Nuan and the pregnant Bai Xiaonian enter the elevator, she paused in surprise. She then greeted Bai Xiaonian and Lin Nuan with a pitiful look.

“There are only the three of us in this elevator. Why are you putting on an act?” Bai Xiaonian glanced at Cai Jingyao in disdain, then turned around to look at the number jumping on the elevator. She couldn’t help feeling disgusted, guessing that Cai Jingyao was here to see Lu Jinnan.

Since Bai Xiaonian had exposed her, Cai Jingyao put away her pitiful look and mocked, “It’s been two days since Lu Jinnan got into a car accident... Yet you’re only here now. You’re qualified to be called a wife.”

Lin Nuan’s eyes turned, and she looked at Cai Jingyao through the mirror in the elevator. Her voice was calm, but there was a hint of disdain and contempt in it. “You clearly know that Lu Jinnan is a married man. Yet you’re using his brother to get close to him. You’re also qualified to be called ‘cheap’.”
