Chapter 50: Admitted to hospital
“Mia, what are you doing?” Wang Yuxin looked at Mia in confusion, her tone tinged with slight annoyance.
Was she going to give in once again? Was she to bear the pain alone?
“Xin Xin, let me be the judge, okay?” Mia glanced at Wang Yuxin, pleading and pain in the bottom of her eyes, and then turned her head to look at Grandpa Jun and Leena, “Since you’re so afraid of me showing up, don’t bother me anymore, I can’t afford it anymore.”
With that, Mia turned to leave.
Wang Yuxin looked at Mia’s departing figure, her dark eyes looked askance at Grandpa Jun who was still sitting on the sofa, “Later on, you will definitely regret what you did today.”
Giving Li Na a hard stare, Wang Yuxin took a few quick steps to catch up with Mia, and Liam Jun hesitated for a moment before following close behind.
Mia was lost in thought as she headed out of the parlor, her heart already numb with pain. Today, Asher hadn’t shown up since the beginning, did it mean he didn’t want to see her at all? And, did it mean that he acquiesced to what Grandpa Jun and Leena had done to her?
Just as Mia’s palm touched the door handle, the sky spun before her eyes, a sudden cramping pain appeared in her abdomen, and looking at the spinning ceiling, a bad feeling suddenly rose in Mia’s heart.
Baby … Mia She subconsciously used her hands to protect her abdomen.
Liam Jun’s eyes widened as he looked at the staggering Mia in front of him, darting to her side and reaching out to hold her tightly in his arms the moment she was about to fall to the ground, “Mia, what’s wrong with you?”
“Oh my god, Mia!” Wang Yuxin froze and ran to Mia’s side in shock.
Grandpa Jun looked at the fainted Mia with a grim face, his face expressionless, a cold smile pulled at the corners of Riina’s mouth, and only Mr. and Mrs. Jun Haotian had worry all over their faces, staring closely at Mia.
Liam Jun nervously held Mia in his arms, panicking as he looked at Mia’s pale little face with her eyes tightly closed. Damn it! How could he not notice Mia’s abnormality!
Just as he was about to pick Mia up, the door to the parlour in front of him was slowly pulled open, only to see Asher in a white high class suit, looking at Liam Jun with a cold demeanour, when his eyes touched Mia in his arms, his expression instantly turned cold, his cold eyes fixed on Liam Jun, his cold eyes quickly swept over the faces of everyone present, “What’s going on?”
Damn, how did this woman get here! How could he not even know! Asher did his best to suppress his pounding heartbeat.
Seeing Asher appear, Grandpa Jun had a moment of panic, but quickly calmed down and said gently, “Nothing, she was upset to see you getting engaged, so she fainted.”
Liam Jun’s gaze fell on the woman in his arms from start to finish, he swept a glance at his big brother standing in front of him and when he saw the cold look on his face, he said coldly, “You should get out of the way now, I’m taking her to the hospital.”
“What’s wrong with her?” Looking at the small, pale woman in Liam Jun’s arms, Asher’s heart ached hard somewhere and his eyes clouded over.
Seeing Asher, who looked exactly like Liam Jun, Wang Yuxin first froze for a moment, then understood what was going on and coldly interjected, “You actually have the nerve to ask?”
“Well, old man, you go and get your engagement, I have to hurry and get her to the hospital.” Liam Jun quickly carried Mia across his arms and ran out of the parlour in stride, his anxious eyes kept looking at the unconscious person in his arms, his heart secretly said, Asher, you have let me down too much, from today onwards, I will not back down, I will make Mia belong to me, I will take your place to guard her!
Seeing Liam Jun run out, Wang Yuxin angrily glared at everyone in the room, “One day, you will regret it, and if Mia is even slightly off, I will make your Jun family pay!”
After saying that, she quickly ran out of the parlor and followed Liam Jun.
Asher just stood outside the door, watching Mia disappear out of his sight, his mind stuck on Mia’s pale face, and the hands hanging at his side couldn’t help but clench into fists.
“Asher …” Riina walked over to Asher’s side, a pang of worry on her face and unease flooding her heart.
Asher’s indifferent eyes swept over her face, “The engagement continues.”
Riina looked surprised, Grandpa Jun’s ironic face eased slightly, while Mr. and Mrs. Jun Haotian looked at each other, both seeing the worry in each other’s eyes.
Now Asher, there’s something wrong.
Instead, Liam Jun, after taking Mia to the hospital, uses his status as Jun’s family for the first time and orders the arriving director to make sure Mia is cured.
Wang Yuxin stood outside the ward, dumbfounded at the chaos before her:.
There was chaos in the hospital, many nurses running, numerous doctors checking on Mia in the ward, the dean currying favour around Liam Jun …
The moment the ER closes, the noise is all but isolated inside, and then the hallway falls back to silence.
“It seems that it’s good to be rich and powerful.” After waiting for the emergency room door to close, Wang Yuxin said to Liam Jun indifferently, her tone full of mockery.
In the empty corridor, Liam Jun sat on a long chair, his back against the wall, his eyes closed, ignoring Wang Yuxin’s taunts. Her eyes were disheveled as she looked towards the emergency room that was flashing with lights, her mind kept going back to the scene where Mia had just fainted.
…
With the sound of instruments dripping in her ears, Mia, lying on the hospital bed, slowly opened her eyes and was met with eyes full of white and white coats with masks, the pungent smell of sterile water waking her up.
The doctor saw that she was awake and twisted her head to the nurse next to her and whispered a few words before continuing the action in her hands, looking at the doctor’s serious look, Mia’s dazed eyes slowly righted her head.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
She remembers fainting, but she seems to have seen Asher moments before she passed out, and he still looked at her with the same cold eyes as before …
Yeah, she hasn’t told her about the pregnancy yet …
Her dazed eyes, instantly regaining consciousness at the thought, she grabbed the arm of the doctor beside her, her eyes burning into her, “Doctor, my baby …”
Seeing her look of anxiety, the doctor softly reassured her, “Don’t worry, your baby is fine.”
Mia was visibly relieved to hear that the baby was okay, but then she thought of something else and her grip on the doctor’s wrist tightened again, “Doctor, can you … keep this matter of my pregnancy under wraps.”
The doctor’s brow furrowed, and finally nodded reluctantly under her determined gaze.
The following day, the senior ward of the xx hospital.
Mia was resting in her hospital bed when the door to the ward was opened and in came Liam Jun. Mia placed the book she was flipping through on the bed cabinet, “Didn’t I tell you, you don’t have to come, I have nothing to do.”
Mia still remembers the worried look on Liam Jun’s face when she first woke up yesterday.
“Do you still consider me a friend?” Liam Jun slowly approached the edge of the hospital bed, his inky black eyes fixed on the woman lying on the bed, “If you still consider me a friend, then don’t say such polite things.”
“By the way, you let Xin Xin go back, these days, she hasn’t worried a lot about me, I really feel sorry for her in my heart.” Seeing Liam Jun’s eyes full of deep meaning, Mia immediately changed the topic. It wasn’t that she didn’t understand the meaning in Liam Jun’s eyes, but she could only pretend that she couldn’t understand it.
“So, what happened to you, is it time to tell me?” Staring intently at Mia, Liam Jun wasn’t going to let her go at all. If he hadn’t pressed the doctor yesterday, he wouldn’t have known about Mia’s pregnancy until now.
Hearing him ask that, Mia froze, then raised a charming smile, her smiling eyes alertly looking at him, “What is it?”
“You’re pregnant.” Liam Jun looked down, in the direction of her abdomen, his eyes full of reproach, “You didn’t tell me, were you planning to take it on so alone?”
The smile on Mia’s face slowly faded and a layer of sadness slowly surfaced, “Do I have any other choice?”
When he saw Mia’s confused look, Liam Jun’s heart ached. The doctor’s diagnosis yesterday said that Mia’s high level of exertion had caused the coma, and it was only after his soft and hard tactics plus coercion that the doctor told him the real situation, that she was not only overworked, but the bigger reason was her pregnancy!
“The baby is my brother’s, isn’t it?” Even though it was obvious, Liam Jun took a leap of faith when asking, “So you went to the venue just to tell my brother about your pregnancy?”
Mia looked up at the slightly serious face and shook her head gently, “Lena gave me the invitation card and told me they were getting engaged, the only reason I was going was to get myself killed for good. I approached him a long time ago and he told me to get rid of the baby …”
Ever since she knew how Asher was treating the child, she had long held the belief that this child would have no father, that Asher was disqualified from being a father, and that she would raise the child alone!
Liam Jun looked deeply into Mia’s forlorn eyes, his tall body slowly sat down on the edge of the bed and swept Mia into her arms, her movements unusually gentle, as if she were holding a ceramic doll.
The moment he embraced the delicate body, his heart was filled with compassion and satisfaction.
After all that she had gone through, Mia was already bruised all over and already exhausted. Even just a few moments in Liam Jun’s arms, a piece of her heart was temporarily satisfied, “Liam, I …”
“I know everything you have to say.” Liam Jun’s voice came from overhead, and his originally deep eyes turned bleak. It wasn’t that he didn’t understand how she felt, all he could do was to protect this woman from further suffering in the future.
