At this thought, Lu Nanze cast his gaze down and said, “Let it be.”

The doctor was going to speak again, but when he saw Lu Nanze’s expression, he finally fell silent.

In the emergency room.

Qiao Lian was slowly regaining consciousness, and as she did, she heard the doctor saying, “Hurry up, put her on the antibiotic drip.”

At those words, her eyes suddenly snapped open.

A mother always put her child first, no matter what they were about to do.

Hence when she heard the word “antibiotic” mentioned, her first reaction was that this would affect the child.

Normally, a person wouldn’t recover consciousness this quickly, but Qiao Lian had widened her eyes in a flash and yelled, “No, don’t!”

The doctor was stunned and, upon looking down, saw that she was wide awake.

Qiao Lian said, “Please don’t put me on a drip, I—”

Before she could finish what she was saying, the operating room door swung open. Almost at once, an older doctor appeared. He took one look at Qiao Lian and then told everyone present, “I’ll take this patient.”

When the other doctors saw him, they called him, “Director.”

“Umm.”

Then the attending doctor immediately left.

Qiao Lian turned to the doctor, thinking that Shen Liangchuan had sent him, and said, “I can’t use antibiotics, because I’m—”

“Pregnant,” the director said.

Qiao Lian nodded. “That’s right.”

The director nodded and replied, “Fine, we won’t put you on a drip in this case. In any case it’s winter now, so your wound should be fine. You just have to take care of it, don’t get it wet. As long as it doesn’t get infected, it will be fine.”

Qiao Lian sighed in relief and said, “Great. And my child?”

“The child is fine, in good health.”

Qiao Lian continued to nod.

After the wound was treated, Qiao Lian was given the green light to leave.

Because her injuries were external, there was no need to stay in the hospital.

Besides, the strong smell of antiseptic in the hospital was making her ill.

Since the child was unharmed, she insisted on being discharged so that she could rest at home.

The moment she was pushed out of the operating room, she saw Shen Liangchuan standing outside with an extremely worried expression. The look in his eyes darkened when he saw her. He strode up to her.

He bent over her, looked her up and down once, and then asked, “How are you doing? Are you alright?”

The doctor said unhurriedly, “The patient is in good health, her injuries are all external. It’s nothing too serious.”

Shen Liangchuan sighed in relief at once and asked, “So what’s next?”

“She can be discharged.”

Shen Liangchuan continued to nod, indicating for Song Cheng to handle the discharging process. The doctor continued, “Who is the patient’s family? I need to give some instructions concerning her care and what to look out for.”

Shen Liangchuan said immediately, “I’m her husband.”

The doctor glanced at Shen Liangchuan and said, “Come with me.”

Watching Shen Liangchuan disappear into the doctor’s office, Qiao Lian opened her mouth to say something. But after a pause, she fell silent again.

After all that had happened, would Shen Liangchuan now know that she was pregnant?

And if he knew, what was she going to do about it?

Should she continue to walk away from him or…

She lowered her head, extending the arm that was not injured and placing it on her belly.

Little one, little one.

Do we go home with your Dad, or continue staying in Suzhou?

She frowned.

After Song Cheng and Shen Liangchuan had settled their business, they drove back to the filming location.

As Qiao Lian sat in the car, she turned to look at the trees that lined the streets. They zoomed past, one at a time.

She couldn’t help but glance at Shen Liangchuan from the corner of her eye.
