Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 669

Time passed slowly.

Each minute was sheer agony for Xiao Linye. Ultimately... he still signed the papers.

When he signed, not only were his hands shaking, but his heart was trembling too!

He wanted to save the child. But if he had to choose between the child and Ye Yuning, he would... undoubtedly choose Ye Yuning.

「Three hours later.」

Ye Yuning was moved from the emergency room to the ward.

In her coma, her face was devoid of any color!

Xiao Linye followed her to the entrance of the ward, but suddenly his legs felt as if they were filled with lead; he dared not enter.

Kang Xuan looked at Xiao Linye, who appeared to be suffocating, and his own heart clenched. "Young Master," he said.

Xiao Linye closed his eyes for a moment. "Those two people..." he ground out.

"Don’t worry," Kang Xuan immediately said. "I’ll handle them!"

At the entrance of the ward, the tension was suffocating. Danger completely surrounded Xiao Linye.

He took several deep breaths but couldn’t suppress the heaviness in his chest.

His child... The child he had with Ningning. This child seemed to have faced constant troubles ever since it came to exist in Ye Yuning’s womb. That day, when he heard the doctor announce that the medicine had been developed and would no longer affect her body, how overjoyed and excited he was... The child was his; she... was also his. However, who could tell him why things had turned out like this?

「It was already past four in the afternoon the next day when Tang Xi and Qin Jinchuan received the news.」

Ye Yuning had already woken up.

The atmosphere in the ward was suffocating.

Xiao Linye held a bowl of chicken soup. Only a few hours had passed since the incident.

Yet, he looked utterly haggard.

The room fell silent for a long while.

Xiao Linye was the first to speak, breaking the silence in the ward, "Ningning..."

He moved his lips as if to say something more, but seeing her small face, so pale it was devoid of color, the words died on his tongue.

Since Ye Yuning had woken up, she hadn’t said a single word to him.

"Would you like some soup first?" Xiao Linye asked, his tone, when he spoke again, noticeably tense and suppressed.

However, the response he received was still Ye Yuning’s suffocating silence.

The child... was gone! From the moment she knew about the child, she had been protecting it. Xiao Linye misunderstood her; she had wanted to explain, but he never gave her a chance to speak. That day, when she went to the Xiao Family, what she saw was his engagement to Qi Mulan. Even though he was getting married, even knowing there was no longer a possibility between them, she still tried her hardest to protect the child. However, who could tell her why things had turned out like this?

When Tang Xi arrived, all she saw was Xiao Linye’s panicked face, completely unsure of what to do with Ye Yuning.

Her expression darkened, and she strode forward, snatching the bowl from Xiao Linye’s hands.

"You leave first!" Tang Xi said, her voice tight.

She was truly afraid of Xiao Linye... In Upper City, who wasn’t afraid of the Xiao Family’s Seventh Master Xiao? He was naturally cold and ruthless.

However, seeing Ye Yuning lying so pale on the hospital bed, Tang Xi couldn’t control her temper and emotions.

Seeing Tang Xi arrive. Although her tone wasn’t pleasant, Xiao Linye nonetheless breathed a sigh of relief.

He stood up and said, "She hasn’t eaten anything since last night. Let her drink some soup first. There’s chicken in the thermos, and prepared meals; make her eat something."

Tang Xi didn’t speak, her brow furrowed tightly.

So, he’s anxious now? What was he doing earlier?

Tang Xi was furious, but ultimately, she didn’t dare show too much of her anger to Xiao Linye.

Xiao Linye glanced at Ye Yuning, who lay silent and cold on the hospital bed. He frowned, then turned and left the ward.

Only Ye Yuning and Tang Xi remained.

Tang Xi looked at Ye Yuning anxiously. "Weren’t you with Qin Jinchuan at Nanwa Mountain? How did he end up bringing you back here?"

Ye Yuning whispered, "Xi Xi."

"Mhm."

"I lost a lot of blood."

Tang Xi found herself speechless. Hearing Ye Yuning’s grief-stricken tone, her heart instantly constricted.

"I know everything," Tang Xi said softly.

No one could know how anxious she had been on the way over after receiving that phone call.

Ye Yuning had wanted so badly to keep this child. Who could have predicted it would end like this?

"The child..." Ye Yuning finally said, "is gone!"

"Don’t think about that for now," Tang Xi said gently.

She didn’t know how to comfort Ye Yuning. Tang Xi knew very well why Ye Yuning had wanted to keep this child, and what this child meant to her. She had wanted so desperately to keep this child. She had no family in this world—no blood relatives at all! This child was growing in her womb. The thought of her baby eventually growing into someone who shared her bloodline—how could she not love and cherish that? Yet who could have imagined things would turn out like this? Fate was truly cruel to her... The saying ’to have weak family ties’ didn’t even begin to cover Ye Yuning’s situation; she was utterly alone. From the time she could remember, she’d had practically no blood relatives at all!

"Drink the soup first," Tang Xi urged. "You need to recuperate now, understand?"

Ye Yuning lowered her head, saying nothing.

Watching her like this, Tang Xi also felt a wave of distress. Just as she was about to offer more words of comfort, she saw large teardrops splash onto the back of Ye Yuning’s hand.

Tang Xi cried out in alarm, "You... don’t cry! You mustn’t cry right now."
