Chapter 1177 The child was not saved
The doctor sighed and said, "The adult is fine, but the child...could not be saved."
"What?!" Cheng Yunchuan froze as if struck by lightning.
Lu Jingshen was also stunned. He couldn’t believe his ears. The child... is gone?
Cheng Yunchuan staggered back a few steps, leaned against the wall, and slid down to the ground helplessly. He covered his face with his hands, tears flowing out from between his fingers.
Lu Jingshen walked up to him, squatted down, patted his shoulder, and said, "My condolences."
Cheng Yunchuan raised his head, looked at Lu Jingshen with empty eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Why...why is it like this?"
Lu Jingshen didn't know how to answer. He looked at Cheng Yunchuan's painful expression and felt full of guilt.
The doctor came over and said, "The patient needs to rest now, you can go back first."
Cheng Yunchuan slowly stood up and followed the doctor into the ward.
Jiang Mubai was lying on the hospital bed, her face pale and her eyes closed. Cheng Yunchuan was sitting beside the bed, holding her hand and looking at her quietly.
Lu Jingshen stood at the door, hesitated for a moment, and then turned and left.
When Jiang Mubai woke up, it was already the next morning. She opened her eyes and saw Cheng Yunchuan sleeping on the side of the bed. She gently withdrew her hand and stroked Cheng Yunchuan's face.
Cheng Yunchuan woke up and saw Jiang Mubai was awake, and asked quickly: "Mubai, how do you feel?"
Jiang Mubai shook his head and said weakly, "I'm fine."
Cheng Yunchuan looked at her distressedly and said, "I'm sorry, Mu Bai, I failed to protect our child."
Jiang Mubai's tears welled up instantly. She hugged Cheng Yunchuan tightly and cried, "I don't blame you, Yunchuan, I don't blame you!"
Cheng Yunchuan also hugged her tightly, letting her tears wet his clothes.
The two of them just hugged each other quietly, comforting each other.
In the next few days, Cheng Yunchuan took care of Jiang Mubai every step of the way. He helped her wash her face, brush her teeth, and feed her, taking care of her in every possible way.
Jiang Mubai looked at Cheng Yunchuan busy working for her, and her heart was filled with emotion. She knew that she really fell in love with this man.
Cheng Yunchuan also became more certain of his love for Jiang Mubai. He vowed to protect and take care of her for the rest of his life and never let her come into any harm again.
After being discharged from the hospital, Jiang Mubai moved to Cheng Yunchuan's apartment, and the two began a sweet cohabitation life.
Cheng Yunchuan would cook all kinds of delicious food for Jiang Mubai every day to make her happy. Jiang Mubai gradually came out of the shadow of losing her child and a smile appeared on her face again.
One night, Cheng Yunchuan was cooking in the kitchen, Jiang Mubai walked behind him and hugged him from behind.
"Yunchuan, thank you!" Jiang Mubai said softly.
Cheng Yunchuan turned around, looked at Jiang Mubai, and asked gently, "Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for always being by my side. Thank you for everything you have given me." Jiang Mubai said affectionately.
Cheng Yunchuan smiled and said, "Silly, why are you saying thank you? I love you, Mu Bai."
Jiang Mubai also smiled and said, "I love you too, Yunchuan."
The two kissed each other passionately.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Cheng Yunchuan reluctantly let go of Jiang Mubai and went to open the door.
There was a courier standing outside the door with a package in his hand.
Cheng Yunchuan signed for the package and returned to the living room.
"Who sent it?" Jiang Mubai asked.
Cheng Yunchuan shook his head and said, "I don't know. There is no sender."
He opened the package and found a beautiful gift box inside.
Cheng Yunchuan opened the gift box and found a photo inside.
The photo shows a woman and a child.
The woman looked somewhat like Jiang Mubai, and the child looked exactly like Lu Jingshen.
Cheng Yunchuan's face turned pale in an instant.
Jiang Mubai also saw the photo. She widened her eyes and looked at the woman and child in the photo in disbelief.
"This...what's going on?" Jiang Mubai asked tremblingly.
Cheng Yunchuan didn't say anything. He held the photo tightly, and veins bulged on the back of his hand.
The words Ji Wanru said before leaving the ward suddenly popped up in his mind:
"My mission is accomplished. Now it depends on how you perform."
Could it be... that all this is Ji Wanru's conspiracy?
At this moment, the phone suddenly rang, breaking the eerie silence in the room.
Cheng Yunchuan glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Lu Jingshen.
He hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone.
"Hey?"
"Yunchuan, I saw the news." Lu Jingshen's voice sounded anxious: "Mu Bai...is she okay?"
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said, "She's fine."
"That's good." Lu Jingshen breathed a sigh of relief: "Yunchuan, I..."
"Dudududu!"
Cheng Yunchuan hung up the phone directly.
He looked at the photo in his hand and his eyes turned cold.
He finally understood that Ji Wanru's purpose was not only to separate him and Jiang Mubai, but also to completely destroy them.
And he would never let her succeed!
Cheng Yunchuan felt dizzy, and the photo slipped from his hands and fell to the floor like a butterfly with broken wings. He bent down mechanically, picked up the photo, and gently stroked the woman's face in the photo with his fingertips.
This woman is so similar to Jiang Mubai, yet so strange.
Jiang Mubai covered her mouth, tears silently falling. She asked in a trembling voice: "Yunchuan, what...what is going on? This child...he..."
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath and tried to suppress the emotions surging in his heart. He took Jiang Mubai into his arms, patted her back gently, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Mubai, I will figure out everything."
His voice was low and hoarse, yet with a barely perceptible tremor.
At this moment, Cheng Yunchuan felt as if his heart was torn apart. He couldn't imagine what kind of blow Jiang Mubai would suffer if the child in the photo was really Lu Jingshen's.
After a long while, Jiang Mubai raised his head from Cheng Yunchuan's arms, looked at him with tearful eyes, and choked up, "Yunchuan, I want to find Lu Jingshen, I want to ask clearly!"
Cheng Yunchuan held Jiang Mubai's hand tightly and stopped him, saying, "Mubai, you can't go now. Calm down. Let's find out the truth of the matter first, okay?"
Jiang Mubai shook off Cheng Yunchuan's hand and cried, "The truth? What truth is there? The photos are right in front of you. How long do you want to deceive yourself?"
Cheng Yunchuan felt distressed when he saw Jiang Mubai's collapse. He knew that nothing he said now would calm her inner pain and anger.
"Okay, Mu Bai, I'll go with you." Cheng Yunchuan finally compromised.
The two drove to Lu Jingshen's villa. Jiang Mubai almost ran into the villa, followed closely by Cheng Yunchuan.
Lu Jingshen was processing documents in the study. When he heard the noise, he looked up and was startled to see Jiang Mubai in tears.
"Mu Bai, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Lu Jingshen asked anxiously.
