Chapter 237 Contemplation

"Someone, call 120!"

Somebody called out in haste. It was one of the people who took the woman inside the white car.

"Heavens, just what happened here? Did we just witness a hit and run!"

"That's right! The black car earlier just went and drove towards this lady's car!"

More and more people gathered around the white car and the woman that was taken out of it.

Ran Xueyi's eyebrows were frowning severely from the high pitch noise in her ears. Adding the volume and noise that were increasing in numbers and pitch coming from the people around her, she just wanted to shout and tell them to shut up.

But perhaps she was in too much shock after the accident, Ran Xueyi couldn't even raise an arm and move her lips to utter a word. She could only let these people grab her from the car and wait for an ambulance.

It would be good if they were able to come in quickly and take her from that noisy crowd, but there was another thing that Ran Xueyi had to consider. If she were taken to the hospital, more people would find out and the possibility that reporters would get wind of her accident would be known.

However, that wasn't her concern at this moment.

Looking at her stomach, Ran Xueyi was afraid that the impact and shock she received from the accident would affect the child in her womb. The worst case scenario... Ran Xueyi didn't even want to imagine it.

Feeling the strength in her body seeping away from her, Ran Xueyi just wanted to sleep. She didn't even have strength to keep herself awake or feel the tears that were slipping down her eyes to her cheeks.

"Is she alright?" Lu Che asked and stood in the corner and watched as Doctor Qin injected a needle on Ran Xueyi.

Qin Mo didn't turn his head as he replied, "She's alright. There's not any major injuries caused by the accident and the front protection bag protected her very well. However, there are some cuts and bruises on her face and arms. But it shouldn't be dangerous and should heal in a month without any scars."

Qin Mo calmly and seriously observed Ran Xueyi's physical condition. Thankfully, over the past few days that he stayed in that small office, the equipment there was complete and Ran Xueyi was lucky enough that they had them in the office. If they didn't, Ran Xueyi might have to be transferred to a hospital.

"I'll need to trouble you to contact your brother and tell the ambulance that came earlier to not say anything about this to the public and let me handle this." Lu Che's family owned several hospitals in the country and they had enough authority over other hospitals. Fortunately, the ambulance that came to aid Ran Xueyi was affiliated to the Lu family's hospital.

Lu Che nodded his head as if it was nothing, "My brother already called me earlier when the ambulance officer saw me. I already explained the situation to him."

Earlier, when Lu Che received his older brother's call, he almost had a heart attack. He was just a press away from calling him, but the devil was faster than him. Lu Che's older brother, Lu Han, was enraged when the ambulance officer told him that he saw him and that it was Lu Che who stopped them from moving the patient.

Lu Han scolded him for a minute, telling him not to hide the body of his victim and to hand himself over to the police as soon as possible. Lu Che never thought that his older brother would say things like that to him and didn't know if he should cry or laugh.

In the end, one mention of Qin Mo's name and Lu Han finally calmed down.

"What about that?" Lu Che cocked his chin towards the flat stomach of Ran Xueyi.

Qin Mo followed his gaze and said, "The child is alright. As I said earlier, the protection bag minimized the overall damage and also protected the baby inside her. This is actually a miracle since the car that smashed against her seemed intent on crushing her against the wall."

With that notion, both Qin Mo and Lu Che were silent. No one knew what was going on inside their minds, but the idea should be the same.

—Someone wanted to kill Ran Xueyi.

"Is it that woman who came after you?" Lu Che was curious.

Qin Mo shook his head, "There is no certainty to that. However, she should be the prime suspect since she's the only one who has the motive to do this."

He gave a slight pause before he continued, "Anyway, we should wait till she wakes up. She should know better than us who wanted her dead."

The two waited patiently inside the small office that was turned into a small clinic. Since there was nothing to do, Lu Che decided to play games while Qin Mo continuously monitored Ran Xueyi's condition.

What he didn't tell Lu Che was that though there was no major wound to the mother and child caused by the accident, he could only give his professional insights as a doctor. But he couldn't give any statement in regards to Ran Xueyi's current state of mind.

From what he could tell, though... Ran Xueyi seemed to be in a lot of stress and needed time to relax. The accident does anything bad to the child, but if she doesn't do anything to ease her stress and fears, the child would be put in danger.

The two stayed inside the clinic, guarding Ran Xueyi and also taking care of her. They canceled all their plans for that day since there was no telling whether the people who did this to Ran Xueyi would come back to finish the job.

3 hours later.

Ran Xueyi made a slight movement, indicating that she was slowly regaining her consciousness. Lu Che jumped from his seat and swung his body towards the bed.

He quickly said, "You don't move just yet! Stay and lie down on the bed." Then he loudly said, "Mo, your patient is awake!"

Qin Mo, who was inside the other room, came out. He wore casual attire as he approached the bed.

Ran Xueyi was at first confused when she opened her eyes. But gradually, she remembered that someone had wanted to take her life. Soon after realizing this, she was on high alert and wanted to get away from them.

Thankfully, before she fell, Lu Che arrived at her side and grabbed her arm.

"Listen to this guy. He may be an idiot but he's right. Don't move your body just yet since your brain is still adjusting to your state." Qin Mo glanced at her and the monitor. "Calm yourself down, don't put more stress on your body or else, it would harm your child."

After hearing him, Ran Xueyi relaxed slightly. However, she still couldn't forget about what happened earlier and her heart thudded heavily to her stomach.

She felt nauseous and gagged.

Qin Mo understood her intentions and grabbed the trash can on the side.

Ran Xueyi quickly grabbed the trash can and threw up everything inside her stomach.

Lu Che changed his expression as soon as he saw this scene. He also gagged as a natural reaction when you see someone vomiting in front of you before turning away.

Several minutes later, Ran Xueyi finally calmed down and sat dazedly on the bed with Qin Mo and Lu Che sitting by the bed. Qin Mo dutifully told her what he had just told Lu Che and also told her to not stress herself anymore. The more stressed she was, the more difficult it was for the child to stay by her side.

A child's overall state was dependent on the mother's condition, not just on the nutritional intake.

"I advise you to not do anything that would make you feel any negative emotion," Qin Mo told her and looked straight into her eyes. "Also, tell the father of the child to take good care of you. A mother needs to give the other half of the responsibility to the father. Do not own up to everything and end up hurting yourself."

Ran Xueyi felt like she was being scolded like how Jian Yiling did several days ago. She somehow wanted to smile at that. She felt like she was in front of her best friend.

Lu Che, who was silent this whole time, stared at his brother Qin with a strange look on his eyes. He never saw Qin Mo saying more than what was needed and most importantly, he even gave her some advice!

Isn't this him showing his concern for this lady?

Does this mean Brother Qin likes her?

Right, right?!

Qin Mo seemed to notice the gaze that Lu Che was giving him and felt annoyed. He sent him a deadly glare and just wanted to smack his head. He could already guess what was going on inside that rotten head of his and didn't want to bother with him.

Ran Xueyi's appearance looked extremely beautiful and her temperament was really something that was not easily seen in their world. However, she was not his type and he really didn't have any other thoughts towards her.

Ran Xueyi didn't notice the two's strange expressions and looked at her hands. There was a gauze wrapped around her right wrist and four of her fingers had a bandaid on it.

She was lost in her thoughts and seriously contemplated Doctor Qin and Jian Yiling's words.
