Chapter 1911: It’s Fine
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Later on, she seemed to have heard Wang Chengwei’s crazy voice.
“Hahaha, the Ji family is indeed a bunch of evil spirits!”
“No matter what, this woman is pregnant with your child. You actually chose the Ji family’s girl… You don’t want your own woman and can even abandon your child… I really feel sad for her. It’s best if she dies! Hahaha…”
She had no idea what happened next.
She placed her hand on her stomach and thought that her child must be fine.
Before she lost consciousness, her surroundings were still in chaos.
She was pulled into someone’s embrace. The voice calling her was familiar, and so was the scent in her arms.
In the past, she didn’t think much of it. In fact, she felt a sense of security.
Now, she suddenly felt… disgusted.
“Mian!”
Her closed eyes moved, but tears streamed down her face.
Chu Boyan’s mind was a mess.
He didn’t believe Wang Chengwei. He didn’t want to and didn’t dare to.
However, Ji Fengmian’s tears made him panic.
He had never seen Ji Fengmian cry before.
Be it when they were young or when they met again when they grew up, they had never met before.
He had never thought that Ji Fengmian was a woman who would cry.
Tears and Ji Fengmian didn’t seem to exist at the same time.
—
When Ji Fengmian opened his eyes, the light made her uncomfortable.
After a long while, she finally saw the white ceiling in front of her. Her eyes were filled with confusion.
Ji Fengmian stared at the ceiling for a long time before his eyes flashed and he gradually regained his clarity.
As if she had thought of something, her eyelashes trembled and her eyes moved. She wanted to get up, but just as she moved, a sharp pain in her chest made her gasp.
“Mian! Mian, you’re awake?!”
When she heard the familiar voice, she realized that someone was holding her hand and his other hand was pressing on her shoulder.
She turned to look at the man who was looking at her.
His eyes were sunken and his expression was terrible. It was as if he was the one who had fallen seriously ill. He had lost his blood essence and looked haggard.
Ji Fengmian instinctively wanted to retract his hand, but he realized that he didn’t have the strength to fight with this man.
“Water.”
Chu Boyang quickly brought the cup to her lips.
Ji Fengmian didn’t know how long she had been asleep. He only knew that he was extremely thirsty and the glass of water was quickly emptied.
When Chu Boyang gave her a second glass, she was no longer as anxious as before.
After taking two sips, she stopped drinking.
Chu Boyang put her down and tucked her hair behind her ear. In a low and gentle voice, he said, “Lie down first. I’ll call the doctor.”
Ji Fengmian remained silent.
Chu Boyang looked at her for a few seconds before he stood up and walked out of the ward.
Not long after, a group of doctors stood in front of her bed and examined her. From her expression, she seemed to be fine. The main thing was how to recuperate.
Chu Boyang’s tense expression improved slightly.
The doctor was about to leave when Ji Fengmian stopped him.
“Wait a minute.”
She knew that her voice might be so soft that it would be ignored. She reached out and grabbed the doctor’s shirt.
The doctor turned to look at her and smiled. “Do you feel unwell anywhere else?”
Ji Fengmian said softly, “Is my child alright?”
Her voice was extremely soft, but it stunned everyone in the ward. Their expressions froze.
They all looked up at Chu Boyang.
The doctor froze for a moment before turning to look at Chu Boyang.
Ji Fengmian tightened his grip on his shirt. “I’m the one asking the questions. Why are you all looking at him?”
The doctor had no choice but to say, “You were shot in the chest and stabbed in the lower back. Although two important organs were injured, it wasn’t easy to save you. You lost a lot of blood and your body is too weak. The child… couldn’t be saved.”
After he finished speaking, there was dead silence in the ward.
Ji Fengmian blinked and smiled. “My chest and lower back were injured. My stomach wasn’t hurt…”
The doctor shook his head and said, “Miss, you know that there are too many ways to cause a miscarriage. There are many people who lose their children because of emotional instability or weakness…”
Ji Fengmian’s face was so pale that he couldn’t bear to look at her. His chin and throat bobbed briefly before he slowly released his grip on the doctor’s shirt.
Actually, she already knew the answer from everyone’s reaction.
She just didn’t want to believe it.
She admitted that she wasn’t a good person, but she hadn’t harmed anyone. She had a clear conscience and didn’t suffer any retribution.
Since she was young, she didn’t have many requests, nor did she ask for anything.
She had no desires for more than twenty years. Why did she have to destroy a beautiful hope this time?
Previously, she had even thought of giving her child the best at Wang Chengwei’s son’s grave. She wanted to give him everything that others had and didn’t have. She didn’t want to have any regrets, let alone her child. Her child must be much happier than Wang Chengwei’s child.
She had indeed pitied Wang Chengwei and his son, but now, she felt that she had no right to pity others.
Wang Chengwei’s son had eaten dragon whisker candy, fruit skin, and snacks that were already outdated.
And her child didn’t even know what “taste” was.
He didn’t even have the chance to drink a sip of water.
Who was she to pity others?
Her heart ached terribly, as though someone was holding it tightly. Every breath she took was painful enough to kill her.
How did she end up in such a pathetic state?
Her throat was sore and her eyes were dry, but in the end, she forced a smile.
“Oh, thank you.”
The doctor couldn’t help but take another look at her. Although she was calm, her regret and pain were thick.
“Take good care of your body. If you want a child, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
After giving a perfunctory consolation, the doctor led the medical staff out of the ward.
Ji Fengmian closed his eyes slowly.
She heard the last person to leave close the door.
The room fell silent again, and the air flowed, making it easier to breathe.
Chu Boyang walked slowly to the bed and looked at her with his eyes closed. His face was pale and his expression was calm.
He was flustered by her calmness again.
She was right in front of him, but he felt that there was a distance between them.
After a long silence in the ward, Chu Boyang finally couldn’t take it anymore and called out to her,
“Mian… ”
Ji Fengmian’s eyelashes fluttered as he slowly opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling indifferently.
“Where’s Ji Qing?”
Chu Boyan paused and looked at her for a few seconds, but he couldn’t see any change in her expression.
“… She’s fine.”
Ji Qing finally smiled. “I have a few more questions for you.”
Chu Boyang was silent for a long time. In the end, he seemed to have struggled for a long time before saying, “…Ask away.”
“Did you decide to shoot me the moment you saw me attack Ji Qing? Or did you have a choice long ago?”
Chu Boyan was silent again.
Ji Fengmian wasn’t worried that he would lie.
Because she didn’t give him or her any way out.
In fact, this question was absolutely valid.
So, there was no way out between them.
“Back then… Ji Qing had the criminal’s gun behind her. If… if you were injured, that man wouldn’t have taken her life at the same time…”
Ji Fengmian finally turned to look at Chu Boyang. “The man surnamed Chen doesn’t hate Ji Qing, but compared to Ji Qing, Wang Chengwei doesn’t hate me that much. Back then, when you fed Ji Qing that bullet, Wang Chengwei might not have killed me…”
She smiled coldly. “In the end, saving Ji Qing’s life is the priority. I know very well, so my question isn’t about who you love more.”
Her question was completely based on whether Chu Boyang had decided to sacrifice her long ago to prevent Ji Qing from being hurt or whether she had the intention to kill her.
The former’s threat to Ji Qing was the two kidnappers, and the latter’s threat to Ji Qing was her.
Chu Boyang was silent for a few seconds before saying in a pained voice, “… I didn’t know you were pregnant…”
Ji Fengmian had wanted to smile sarcastically like before, but he realized that she couldn’t.
“Also…” She blinked to suppress the tears that welled up in her eyes. “… So, your answer is probably the latter. Because Ji Qing was pregnant, you chose me back then and didn’t shoot me because I wanted to kill her. Or perhaps, because you already had a choice and saw that I had attacked Ji Qing, you sped up the shooting time.”
Chu Boyang said, “I don’t want any of you to die…”
“Yes, I know…” Ji Fengmian nodded.” But you can’t even bear to hurt Ji Qing, right? ”
Chu Boyang closed his eyes helplessly. “Mian, I could only…”
“Ji Qing had a heart attack and was pregnant. The back of her head was pressed against a pistol that could kill her at any time. As for me, it was simple. There was only a short knife behind me… However, in the end, Ji Qing, who had a heart attack and was pregnant, was fine. I, who only had a short knife behind me, was stabbed and shot. In the end, I lost my child…”
Chu Boyang’s eyes trembled and his body was filled with pain. “I’m sorry…”
Ji Fengmian finally forced a smile. He was finally using her usual sarcasm.
“It’s a pity that you’ll never get that ‘it’s okay’ from me.”
