Shen Chi held Xu Chaomu in his arms and looked down intently at her face.

Five years had passed, and she had grown up a lot. Besides still enjoying giving him a hard time, everything else about her had changed.

The once slightly chubby face from her youth had turned delicate and pretty. Fine willow eyebrows, long eyelashes, a high nose bridge, and tender, thin lips.

His fingers traced her pale cheek, which lacked warmth, and the next moment, his gaze froze.

Intense eyes fixated on the snowy neck, where a delicate necklace carved with roses was securely hidden under the collar.

With a tug, his hand pulled, and the necklace broke.

His blood boiling, his eyes growing colder, the rose necklace… who gave it to her?

He remembered, he had once given her a necklace with a jade pendant.

Had she thrown it away?

Clenching his teeth, he gripped the rose necklace tightly in his hand, opened the car window, and with a dark face, threw the necklace out!

“We’ve arrived at the hospital, President Shen.”

Old Cheng turned the steering wheel and steadily parked the car in the hospital parking lot.

“Mhm.”

Shen Chi carried Xu Chaomu out of the car and rushed towards the consulting room with large strides!

“Chenglang… Chenglang… it hurts so much…”

A dull pain came from her head, and Xu Chaomu was in so much pain that she clutched Shen Chi’s arm tightly.

In an instant, Shen Chi’s footsteps halted. Chenglang? Wasn’t that the man she had said she slept with?

His eyes turned icy as if chilled, his blood vessels seemingly frozen. His cold hand gripped Xu Chaomu’s body tightly, with flames of anger burning.

“It hurts… it hurts…”

Shen Chi hated her to the bone, forgetting that his own hand was pinching her soft skin.

The thought of it made him wish he could strangle her!

Five years ago, clinging to his neck, she kept saying, “Fourth Brother, I like you.” Five years later, she had slept with another man!

“Xu Chaomu, you really are shameless.” His voice was cold enough to chill the bones.

“President Shen, the doctor is here.”

Standing at the doorway of the hospital room, Old Cheng brought in a doctor wearing a white coat.

With a dark expression, Shen Chi kicked the door to the ward wide open and threw Xu Chaomu onto the bed.

His actions were not exactly gentle, and they hurt her. She covered her lower abdomen, frowning deeply, and her dress was crumpled from being grasped.

“Could you two step out and wait for a moment?” The doctor adjusted his glasses and put on his stethoscope.

“Sure.”

Shen Chi gave a cold response and stepped out of the ward.

“Don’t worry, it’s going to be okay.”

Old Cheng noticed that Shen Chi’s face didn’t look good, but he could only comfort him like this. Besides, he didn’t know what had happened between the two of them.

The clock on the wall ticked away the seconds, and time passed minute by minute. Soon, a few nurses entered the ward.

Not long after, a nurse came out. Knowing what was on Shen Chi’s mind, Old Cheng hurriedly stopped the nurse.

“Is the patient inside in danger?” Old Cheng was quite anxious as well.

“Temporary shock from low blood sugar, but don’t worry, there’s no life-threatening danger,” the nurse said a few words then hurried off again.

Only then did Old Cheng breathe a sigh of relief: “President Shen, rest easy, Xu girl won’t have anything wrong with her.”

“I’d rather she were dead!”

Shen Chi’s face was stone-cold, void of any expression. His fists were clenched tightly, veins popping on the back of his hands!

Uh… Old Cheng was at a loss for words. What was he saying?

Five years ago, when Xu girl left the Shen Family, wasn’t it Shen Chi himself who searched for her most frantically, turning C City upside down?

Unfortunately, Xu girl seemed to vanish from the face of the earth, leaving no trace, not even a phone call or a letter.

After that, no one dared to mention “Xu Chaomu” in front of Shen Chi!

“Who’s the family member of the patient, come with me.”

The door opened, and a doctor in a white coat came out, removed his mask, and scanned the people at the door.

“I am.” Shen Chi stepped forward.

“Please come in.”

Shen Chi followed the doctor into the ward, where several nurses quickly attended to everything and then went out, closing the door behind them.

Only Shen Chi, Xu Chaomu, and the doctor remained in the empty ward, with the scent of antiseptic filling the air.

A needle had already been inserted into Xu Chaomu’s hand, with a bag of something similar to glucose hanging.

The doctor took a pen and rapidly recorded notes on a piece of paper.

“What is your relation to the patient?”

“Husband.” Shen Chi said indifferently.

He walked up to Xu Chaomu’s bed, lifted the damp strands of hair from her forehead, and used a tissue to wipe the mud from her body.

When he came across the bloodstains on her arm, a tightness gripped his chest, and Shen Chi’s brow furrowed.

“May I ask your name?”

“My surname is Shen.”

“Mr. Shen. Your wife doesn’t have any major issues. It was just a temporary shock caused by low blood sugar. She just needs someone to look after her, and I will prescribe some IV fluids. However, your wife is currently two months pregnant and must be hospitalized for observation.”

The hand holding the tissue paused, and Shen Chi turned his head, his eyes glaring menacingly at the doctor.

“What did you just say?”

“I said Mrs. Shen doesn’t have any major problems.”

“The last sentence.”

“Your wife… is currently two months pregnant…” The doctor became unsteady, unnerved by the man’s terrifying gaze.

“Say it again!”

Shen Chi grabbed the doctor by the collar of his white coat, completely losing his composure.

The pen fell to the floor as the doctor hastily extracted a report from a stack of papers.

“Mr. Shen, please, calm down. Here’s the report we just did. Look, Mrs. Shen is indeed two months pregnant…”

The doctor shoved the report into Shen Chi’s hands and picked up his pen before exiting the ward.

Shen Chi’s gaze was fixed on the line of small print on the report: Pregnant for eight weeks.

It felt as though a knife was stirring in his chest; his face turned frighteningly dark, and the coldness in his eyes could have frozen the paper solid.

“Good… very good, Xu Chaomu, you’re ruthless!”

With several rips, Shen Chi tore up the report in his hands, angrily throwing the pieces over Xu Chaomu!

Xu Chaomu lay on the bed with no reaction, just one hand protecting her stomach. Her face was pale, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Shen Chi’s gaze burned like scorching suns, fixed on Xu Chaomu’s abdomen.

It was probably because it was only two months, but you couldn’t tell at all that she was pregnant.

Shen Chi slowly crouched down, his large palm pressed against her belly, caressing it…

In her belly was the seed of another man!

“It hurts…” Xu Chaomu murmured with her eyes closed, her free hand flailing about aimlessly.

He didn’t care about her struggle, his hand firmly stroking her not yet visibly pregnant belly. Slowly, he leaned close to her ear, his voice not loud, but filled with indifference and icy coldness.

“Xu Chaomu, listen well. Don’t blame me for being heartless. I will never allow this child to stay!”

His warm breath brushed against Xu Chaomu’s ear. She seemed to hear his words, yet also seemed not to.

“Chenglang… take me away… Chenglang…”

Shen Chi’s eyes grew darker, his pent-up rage concentrated in his palm as he clutched Xu Chaomu’s neck!

“Who is Chenglang?”

Shen Chi bellowed, Xu Chaomu gasping for air, her face turning beet red.

“Uh, uh…” Initially, she struggled, but quickly, she lost all strength.

Of course, Shen Chi wasn’t going to strangle her. As her face went pale, he let go, leaving her lying on the bed!

He lit a cigarette by the window, not caring that he was in a hospital ward. Amidst the swirling smoke, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

“Director Tan, arrange an abortion surgery, immediately!”
