Chapter 302: Are you hiding something from me?
Nana looked shocked at Long Yanmei.
“Ahhhhh!!!!”
Long Yanmei’s chest was heaving up and down. A thin line of sweat covered her forehead. She was clutching her belly, and her jaw tightened, trying to bear the immense pain.
“Ahhh!!! H-help me…you…” She accusingly looked at Nana, her face livid in anger.
Nana was also already feeling exhausted.
Her loud cries alerted everybody, and it made Nana feel all the dizzier.
Liang Shin, who was nearby, arrived first. He saw the scene and was shocked seeing Long Yanmei lying on the floor.
Then he noticed Nana at a side who also looked pale and tired. Soon, the others gathered as well.
Liang Shin wanted to be at his sister’s side, but as a doctor, he couldn’t ignore Long Yanmei.
He immediately bent and checked her pulse.
When Jinhai arrived at the scene, he rushed towards Nana, who was massaging her temple.
“Nana? Are you alright?”
He held her face and looked at her from head to toe. He felt relieved when he saw that she wasn’t hurt. He didn’t even bother with Long Yanmei, who was lying on the floor.
Nana stiffened a bit.
Liang Xiao Dan asked, “What happened here!?”
Long Guozhi also finally appeared. He was dumbfounded to watch her like that.
“Guozhi…” Yanmei whispered, tears rolling down her cheeks. “It is her!” She pointed at Nana, “It is because of her that I fell! Guozhi, our baby…”
Her face contorted in pain. “Ahhhh!!! It’s painful…”
The Liang and Liu family were shocked to know that she was accusing Nana.
Long Guozhi angrily looked at Nana. “Mrs. Liu, what is she saying? You pushed her?”
Jinhai coldly gazed at him as if he wanted to skin him alive at that moment.
Long Guozhi shivered. He felt a sharp murderous gaze.
Liang Zou glared at him. “Mr. Long! Don’t cross your limits. How dare you pin the blame to my daughter?”
“But wasn’t only Mrs. Liu present near Yanmei?”
Liang Shin was furious with the couple, but he had to tend to Long Yanmei first. “Get her to the hospital first instead of arguing! Call the ambulance! Her belly is hit hard. She is at risk of losing her child.”
Long Guozhi paled. That was his heir, after all. How could he lose him?
Nana wanted to say something, but she fainted in Jinhai’s arms.
“Nana!”
The Liu family also quickly gathered around her.
“Let’s take Nana to the hospital too!”
Jinhai quickly carried in his arms and rushed outside.
—
City X hospital.
Nana slowly opened her eyes. She faintly saw somebody looking at her, but her vision still blurred.
“Nana? Can you hear me?”
She heard a concerned voice. She blinked her eyes a few more times before the hazy figure finally cleared.
Jinhai was holding her hand. He brightened upon seeing her awake.
“How are you, Nana? Are you feeling pain anywhere? I will call brother-in-law right now. Wait for a second.”
Liang Xiao Dan patted her head. “How are you, dear?”
Her eyes were a little wet with tears. Seeing Nana in that state terrified her and Liang Zou.
Nana smiled. “I’m fine.”
The twins were also afraid. “Nee-chan! Why did you faint? We got so worried!”
Yukito and Yukira tightly held her hands.
Nana shook her head. “I was feeling exhausted. So perhaps…”
Jing also furiously nodded his head. “Don’t worry, sister-in-law! That Long Yanmei won’t be able to harm you now!”
Liang Shin entered her ward, followed by Jinhai.
Liang Shin patted her shoulder. “Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”
Nana denied.
“Good. Let me check you.”
Liang Shin took her pulse and also measured her blood pressure. He looked at the readings on the monitor and was satisfied.
“Nana is fine now. She fainted because she was too exhausted. The child is also fine, but you can opt for an ultrasound just in case to double-check.”
Jinhai seriously nodded.
Nana asked, “What about Long Yanmei?”
Liang Shin went silent. He sighed. “It was too late. The fall was too hard on her tummy. We couldn’t save her child. She is unconscious now.”
Nana’s expression turned grave. She felt terrible for the child’s death because it wasn’t his/her fault. But she didn’t feel remorse for Long Yanmei. She clearly saw how she wanted to push her. And she could have been in her place now.
Liang Shin asked, “What happened? How did she fell? And why was she accusing you?”
Nana said, “I don’t know what was wrong with her. I…,” she glanced at Jinhai. He softly smiled back at her. She averted her gaze and said, “I was walking along the corridor, and she suddenly bumped into me…”
Liang Zou gritted his teeth. “How dare she do that? She was purposely instigating things, and then she even tried to harm you! She fell because of her own mistake and dare to blame you!? The Long family is dead!”
After a pause, he asked, “But why did she target you? Do you know each other?”
“Well…we previously met in a shopping mall and she fought with me over the baby crib.”
Liang Xiao Dan sneered. “I am sure she was just jealous of you. Her husband’s company is already facing heavy losses, and seeing you doing so well and connected to the giant families irked her.”
Liu Hai said, “And I am sure that she would demand justice for the loss of her child once she wakes up. But don’t worry, dear. We will handle everything. Don’t stress over it and just rest.”
Liang Shin nodded. “You already fainted of too much exhaustion. Just rest now. We have the CCTV footage, so they won’t be able to do anything.”
Nana faintly smiled.
Liu Hai said, “Let Jinhai stay here. We will handle the rest.”
—
An hour later, when Long Yanmei woke up and got the news, she threw away everything in rage.
“Its that bitch’s fault! She took my child away from me! I fell because of her.” She yelled with hatred. “I want justice! Kill her child too!”
Long Guozhi was frustrated to lose his heir. Madam and Master Long, her in-laws, were also furious. They didn’t care about Long Yanmei. They only wanted a grandson, but even that was lost now.
Master Long glared at her. “Shut up, you fool! We will take compensation from the Liu family, but we have to think about it carefully!”
Long Guozhi frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Idiot! Don’t you think that it’s a good chance to rope them in as business partners? We will say that we would forget about the whole incident if they invest in our project. This is the golden opportunity to use the Liu family to get back in business. Our shares will skyrocket like crazy! Who doesn’t want a connection with the Liu family?”
Long Guozhi’s face beamed as he thought about it.
Long Yanmei was shocked. “But I want that bitch to be punished! I lost my child! I want her to apologize and bow down! I want her to lose her child too!”
“And do you think that they would do that!?” Long Guozhi spat in anger. “We can have a child later, too, but we have to do something to save our business right now! That cannot wait! Fool!”
“I lost my child! How can I let go of her!!?”
“Dare say that again, Mrs. Long.”
Liang Shin entered with Liang Zou and Liu Hai. Liang Xiao Dan and Liu Chunhua decided to stay with Nana as well.
Long Yanmei cried. “You have to give me justice! I lost my child! Nana will have to pay for this!”
Long Guozhi and Master Long glared at her.
She would spoil everything!
Master Long quickly tried to salvage the situation. He sadly smiled. “Mr. Liu. Mr. Liang. Please forgive her. We are still under shock. After all, we lost our heir…”
Madam Long shed some tears as well. “My poor grandchild…”
Liang Zou sneered. “And?”
“We know we cannot get our heir back. Mrs. Liu can still enjoy the joy motherhood, but if she hadn’t pushed her…”
Liu Hai lazily raised his eyebrow.
“But if we can get some sort of…”
The unsaid words were immediately understood.
Liang Shin smirked. “Before that, you should see something first.”
He took out his mobile and played the footage of the corridor. When the Long family saw how Long Yanmei initiated the fight and tried to push Nana, they froze. They looked at her in horror.
Long Yanmei turned white in fear. She bit her lips and clutched the sheet in her hand.
—
The others in Nana’s ward left after a while to let her rest. Jinhai insisted on staying and looking after her.
Jinhai smiled. “You take rest. Since you are alright, we will leave for home later tonight. You will be more comfortable there.”
“…Hm.”
Jinhai found her response a little plain and bland, but he thought that tonight was too hectic for her.
He patted her head. “Sleep.”
As Nana slowly closed her eyes, she recalled what happened before just she bumped into Long Yanmei.
Huian’s voice at the terrace replayed in her mind. “Will Nana forgive you? Are you ready to confront her with the truth?”
“Forgive me? I will not that situation come to that point, ex-wife.”
“Nana didn’t believe you, and she said the same to me.”
“She won’t bother with you anymore. So she will never come to know anything.”
Nana opened her eyes. “Jinhai.”
“Hm?”
“Are you hiding something from me?”
