Chapter 938 Accident
Lu Jingchen nodded firmly, "I understand."
At this time, a nurse came in and said, "Excuse me, the child's condition is not good and he needs to be transferred to a better hospital for treatment immediately."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the ward became tense again...
The nurse's words were like a bomb, shattering the brief peace in the ward. Zhou Linlang's face turned even paler in an instant. She tightly grasped Lu Jingchen's hand and said tremblingly, "Jingchen, the child... the child will be fine, right?"
Lu Jingchen held her hand to give her strength. Although he was also filled with fear, he still pretended to be calm and comforted her: "It's okay, Linlang, we will find the best doctor, and the child will be fine." His palms were full of sweat.
Zhou Zhengde was also panicking. He grabbed the nurse's arm and asked anxiously, "What's going on? What happened to the child? How could he suddenly become ill?"
The nurse was startled by his actions and quickly explained: "The child was born prematurely and is relatively weak. Now he has difficulty breathing and needs to be transferred to a hospital with better equipment for emergency treatment."
"Then transfer him to another hospital immediately! What are you still standing there for!" Zhou Zhengde roared.
A chaotic transfer to another hospital began. The sirens of the ambulance pierced the night sky. Zhou Linlang lay on the stretcher, staring at the child in the incubator, not daring to look away for a moment. Lu Jingchen held her hand tightly and whispered in her ear to comfort her, but he himself felt unprecedented pressure.
The child was sent to the NICU. Various instruments were beeping. The glaring light and cold air made Zhou Linlang feel suffocated. She leaned weakly on Lu Jingchen's shoulder, tears flowing silently.
The next few days were like a year for Zhou Linlang and Lu Jingchen. The child's condition was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and every alarm made them jump with fear. Zhou Zhengde also stayed in the hospital. Although he still didn't like Lu Jingchen, he was a little moved when he saw him taking care of Zhou Linlang.
That day, the doctor called Lu Jingchen to his office. "The child's condition is not optimistic," the doctor said solemnly, "His lungs are not fully developed, and he needs long-term treatment, and..." The doctor paused, as if he was a little embarrassed to speak, "and even if he survives, he may have some sequelae."
Lu Jingchen felt his eyes go dark, he staggered back a few steps, and barely stood firm by holding on to the wall. He couldn't imagine what kind of blow Zhou Linlang would suffer if the child really had sequelae.
"Doctor, please do your best to save him. No matter how much it costs, we are willing to do it." Lu Jingchen's voice was hoarse with a hint of pleading.
The doctor patted his shoulder and said, "We will do our best, but you also need to be mentally prepared."
Lu Jingchen returned to the ward and saw Zhou Linlang gently caressing the child in the incubator, her eyes full of maternal love. He took a deep breath, walked to her side, and gently hugged her shoulders.
"Linlang," he said softly, "the doctor said the child's condition is not good..."
Zhou Linlang raised her head and looked at him, her eyes full of fear and anxiety, "What's wrong? What's wrong with the child?"
Lu Jingchen felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw her fragile appearance. He told her what the doctor said. After hearing this, Zhou Linlang's face turned pale instantly. She held his hand tightly, her nails digging deeply into his flesh.
"No, no, my child will be fine..." She murmured to herself, tears rolling down her cheeks like beads from a broken string.
Lu Jingchen hugged her tightly, feeling her body trembling, and his heart was filled with powerlessness. He didn't know how to comfort her, nor how to face the future.
At this moment, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and a fashionable woman walked in. She walked straight to Lu Jingchen, raised her hand, and slapped him hard.
"Lu Jingchen, you bastard!" the woman roared, "How dare you let another woman bear your child behind my back!"
The atmosphere in the ward froze instantly...
The loud slapping sound echoed in the ward. Zhou Linlang was stunned, Lu Jingchen was also stunned, and even Zhou Zhengde who was standing at the door was stunned. The woman who was beaten had delicate makeup and was wearing branded clothes. She exuded an overbearing aura. She pointed at Zhou Linlang and her sharp voice almost pierced the eardrum: "You vixen, you dare to seduce my man!"
Zhou Linlang leaned weakly on the bed, her face pale. She had not yet recovered from the shock of her child's critical illness, and was stunned by the sudden slap. She looked at the woman in front of her blankly, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Lu Jingchen covered his face and looked at the woman in front of him with complicated eyes - Su Man, his ex-girlfriend, a strong and domineering woman. He once loved her deeply, but eventually broke up because of personality incompatibility. He didn't expect that Su Man would appear at this time, and be so arrogant and unreasonable.
"Su Man, are you crazy?" Lu Jingchen lowered his voice and said, "You and I have broken up. You have no right to meddle in my affairs."
"Break up?" Su Man sneered, "When did we break up? Did I agree? You had a child with another woman behind my back, and you still have the nerve to break up?"
Su Man's hysteria made Zhou Linlang even more at a loss. She looked at Lu Jingchen, her eyes full of doubt and anxiety. Lu Jingchen held her hand, gave her a comforting look, then turned to look at Su Man, his tone cold: "Su Man, I'll say it again, we are over. Linlang is my wife and the mother of my child, please respect her a little."
"Wife? Mother?" Su Man laughed as if she had heard a joke. "Lu Jingchen, do you think you can get rid of me by just finding a random woman and having a child? You're dreaming! I will never let this child live in this world!"
Su Man's vicious words made Zhou Linlang's heart sink suddenly, and a sense of fear instantly swept through her body. She tightly grasped Lu Jingchen's hand, her body trembling slightly. Lu Jingchen sensed her fear, hugged her into his arms, and stared at Su Man fiercely: "Su Man, if you dare to touch my child, I will never let you go!"
Zhou Zhengde finally couldn't stand it anymore. He walked up to Su Man and shouted angrily, "Who are you? How dare you act wild here! Get out of here right now!"
Su Man glanced at Zhou Zhengde with disdain, "Who are you? Old man, mind your own business!"
"I'm the child's grandfather!" Zhou Zhengde was so angry that he was shaking all over. "If you dare to touch my grandson, I will fight you!"
Su Man didn't take Zhou Zhengde seriously at all. She walked to the incubator and reached out to unplug the child's ventilator. Lu Jingchen was quick and grabbed her wrist and twisted it hard. Su Man screamed in pain, and her wrist was firmly controlled by Lu Jingchen.
