Chapter 598: 584, may not be able to keep the child (1)_1 Chapter 598: 584, may not be able to keep the child (1)_1 âSurgery?â Quan Jingwuâs chilly gaze swept toward Quan Yifei, the blood-red streaks in his eyes palpitated, âWhy does she need surgery?â
Quan Yifei was momentarily startled, and lowered her head, daring not to make a sound.
Her silence only made the malevolence emanating from Quan Jingwu more bone-chilling.
âSpeak!â
With one cold command, Quan Yifeiâs legs went a little weak with fear.
âJingwu, donât be impulsive. Yifei, speak up. Whatâs going on?â Quan Mingxuan held Quan Jingwuâs shoulder, his gaze urging Quan Yifei.
Could Jian Qing be severely injured?
âOur third sister-in-lawâŠâ Quan Yifei faltered, âShe⊠is pregnant.â
Her voice was cautious, but her words exploded like a bomb in everyoneâs ears.
Instantly, Quan Jingwuâs pupils contracted, and his profound eyes gradually became hollow.
A chill started at his feet, cold to the bone, as if he were plunged into icy waters.
Pregnant?
His darling was pregnant.
He suddenly remembered her recent bouts of sleepiness and loss of appetite. It turned out she was pregnant all along.
He felt foolish for not having considered the possibility of her being pregnant. The baby he had hoped for was on its way, but he couldnât bring himself to be happy because the baby had put her in danger. He would rather not have the baby at all.
Quan Mingxuan and others looked dumbfounded, taking a long time to recover.
They instinctively looked at Quan Jingwu, their faces complicated.
With Jian Qing being pregnant and now having a car accident, whether itâs the mother or the child whoâs in danger, Jingwu would probably go mad.
Rhee lowered her head, tears twinkling in her eyes, âItâs all my fault. If I hadnât invited Little Qingqing out with us, this wouldnât have happened.â
âSecond aunt, donât blame yourself. Itâs all my fault for switching places with Jian Qing, or the third sister-in-law wouldnât be so severely injured.â Quan Yifeiâs eyes reddened, her voice choking.
She shouldnât have agreed to switch places with Jian Qing. If they hadnât switched, Jian Qing would not have been seriously injured.
Quan Mingxuan gave Quan Jingwu a glance. His eyes were emitting a destructive light, and that made him feel a little apprehensive.
He then looked at the closed door of the operating room, praying for Jian Qing to be safe. If anything happened to Jian Qing or the baby, the Quan family would likely be saddled with anxiety for the entire year.
âJingwu, youâŠâ
He had just begun to speak when Quan Jingwu moved.
He rushed towards the operating room, luckily Quan Yimo, who was nearest to him, stopped him.
âJingwu, what are you trying to do?â Quan Yimo grabbed his arm, but was thrown off.
His whole body radiated with aura of death, his eyes as cold as ice, âGet lost.â
Upon seeing this, Rhee hurriedly stepped forward, âJingwu, calm down. The doctors are treating Jian Qing now. Running in will only disturb them.â
Quan Che gently nudged Weng Ya. She took a step forward, understanding his hint and continued, âJingwu, your mother is right. Rushing in now will only delay the doctorâs treatment of Jian Qing. Donât worry, the best gynecologist in Beijing is inside. Both Jian Qing and the baby will be safe.â
If Jian Qing hadnât been pregnant, the situation wouldnât have been this difficult. The accident injuries were minor, what was severe now is that Jian Qing had disturbed her fetus.
Upon hearing this, Quan Jingwu looked up at the red light outside the operating room. His mind gradually cleared, and he pressed his fingers against the beaded chain on his wrist, his lips tight.
âYifei, didnât you just have your car serviced a few days ago? How did the brakes fail?â Quan Yimo asked.
Mentioning this, Quan Yifei still felt a lingering fear, she hastily replied, âI donât know. The car was fine when we went out. On the way back, the third sister-in-law suddenly said that the car had been tampered with and there was a problem.â
âYou mean Jian Qing only noticed the issue with the car on the way back?â Quan Mingxuan seized the key point in her words and asked.
Quan Yifei nodded.
Quan Yimo asked, âWhere did you go?â
âWe just went to the shopping center, and the car was parked in the underground garage there.â Quan Yifei replied.
âAfter shopping, we planned to go straight home.â
Hearing this, the faces of Quan Yimo and others grew even darker.
A shadow passed in Quan Mingxuanâs eyes. He had seen Jian Qingâs racing skills. The fact that she only noticed the tampering on their way home indicated that someone must have tampered with their car while they were shopping. The person who did this was boldly targeting the Quan family, even though Jian Qing was married into their family.
Quan Yimo said, âAxuan, have someone pull up all the surveillance footage from around the shopping center immediately, especially the footage from the underground garage. We need to catch the culprit.â
Quan Mingxuan nodded, âIâll take care of it right away. Big brother, keep an eye on the situation at the airport.â
To prevent the culprit from escaping, they had to keep a close watch on places like the airport and train station.
Quan Yimo agreed and left.
Quan Mingxuan glanced at Quan Jingwu, exchanged a look with Quan Hao, and then hurriedly left as well.
With Jian Qing in danger, Jingwu had no energy to concern himself with anything else. They couldnât allow the culprit to seize the opportunity to escape. If they did, they would be giving the ringleader a free pass.
Quan Jingwu reached out, and his defined fingertips lightly touched the cold door. Under the light, his eyes were downcast and frost seemed to coat his thick eyelashes.
The tall and sturdy figure looked solitary and deadly.
Rhee and others looked at one another, none daring to approach him.
His chilly purple eyes stared at the door of the operating room. On a closer look, one could see the panic and worry deep in his eyes.
Darling, you better be okay!
You betterâŠ
Time passed, each minute and second was torturous for them.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the closed door of the operating room was opened.
The doctor, removing his mask as he walked out, looked up and met a pair of heart-stopping purple eyes.
âHow is my wife?â
His cold voice made the doctor shiver and he quickly regained his composure.
Having been a doctor for decades, this was the first time he had met someone whose gaze alone could instill fear.
The regal demeanor that casually exuded from him was overpowering and invoked a sense of submission.
âDirector Wan, whatâs the situation?â
Weng Ya noticed Quan Jingwuâs patience wearing thin and hastened to ask.
Director Wan replied, âThe patientâs condition is temporarily stabilized.â
âWhat do you mean by temporary?â Quan Jingwu asked sharply.
âMiss Jian is four weeks pregnant, and the accident has caused her to have a threatened miscarriage. Weâve given her an injection for it. Sheâs also suffered a minor concussion. She needs to be hospitalized for observation. However, she has a cold constitution, and now that sheâs had a threatened miscarriage, even if the baby is temporarily safe, it might still be threatened in the future.â Director Wan finished his explanation under Quan Jingwuâs icy gaze, feeling the chill at his spine intensify.
âDirector Wan, regardless of the circumstances, you must do your best. Both the mother and the baby must be saved,â Rhee said through gritted teeth.
