Not long after, they arrived at the Intensive Care Unit where Mu Jiangfeng was staying. Through the glass, Grandpa Ye already sensed that something was seriously wrong. Upon entering the nursing room, Grandpa Ye saw the medical supplies in the ward and Mu Jiangfeng lying motionless on the bed, tubes inserted into his body and wearing an oxygen mask.
Having aged and spent time in hospitals, Grandpa Ye had already guessed about this person's condition to a large extent.
In summary, it wasn't good.
"What is this…"
"He is Mu Jiangfeng."
Lan Baobao walked calmly to the bedside, her tone very composed.
She had accepted this reality; once her heart settled, her words became much steadier.
"He protected me during the accident to ensure I would survive, and then he was pierced by glass in his spine, injuring his nerves. Although he didn't die, he has been in a deep sleep ever since.
He underwent a second round of surgery yesterday, but there is still no sign of improvement.
If he hadn't protected me, I would probably be the one lying here now. I doubt I would even have the courage to do so."
"An accident?" Grandpa Ye then carefully observed her injuries; perhaps it really was caused by an accident. "So that's why you are in a relationship with Gu Feng?"
Lan Baobao nodded vigorously. She believed that Grandpa Ye was a reasonable person who wouldn't tell Ye Zixun about this matter.
"Grandpa, I want to stay by Mu Jiangfeng's side to take care of him. The reason he ended up like this is because of me, so I can't just abandon him."
"Do you really want to stay by his side for a lifetime?" Grandpa Ye began to worry about the child, this was no joking matter; it was a lifelong commitment that could not be decided lightly.
"Child, you need to think this through, it's a lifetime!"
Lan Baobao smiled faintly; she had considered Grandpa Ye's words before.
However, after much deliberation, her heart still wanted to make up for her guilt.
She smiled bitterly and sighed, "Grandpa, I have thought it over. If I can spend a lifetime to find peace for myself, I think it would be worth it."
"Then what if Mu Jiangfeng wakes up?"
"If Mu Jiangfeng can wake up, I will take care of him until he recovers, and then I will leave."
"Is that so? Since you've made your decision, then Grandpa will temporarily stand by your side and help you." Grandpa Ye patted her shoulder; it seemed there was nothing more he could do in this matter. The next steps would depend on Ye Zixun and Lan Baobao.
"How is it? What are the test results?"
After Lan Baobao underwent a full set of tests last night, she was helped back to her room by Nursing. When Gu Feng returned to the ward with the test report, Lan Baobao rushed to him regardless of her condition.
Gu Feng handed the report to her expressionlessly. Seeing her frightened look, he suddenly smiled. "You're pregnant."
"Pregnant? Are you sure? Is it a boy or a girl?" Lan Baobao was overjoyed and couldn't believe she was going to be a mother again.
Gu Feng chuckled at her excitement. "Baby, why are you always so worked up? You're only two months pregnant; we can't tell yet if it's a boy or a girl."
"Really? But I still don't know if I want to have a daughter or a son. It wouldn't be bad to have another child like Brother Mu, and if it's a beautiful child like Ye Ziru, that would also be nice.
But what if there's a genetic mutation and the child turns out to look all messed up? What should I do, Gu Feng? What should I do?"
"Calm down, take it easy." Gu Feng pulled her to sit by the bed, feeling both amused and helpless.
It's only been two months; there are still eight months to go before the baby is born, and she's already worrying about the child's appearance. This mother really likes to fret!
"Baby, there's no need to worry about how the child will look. Even if there is a genetic mutation and the baby turns out to be ugly, that's okay. Science and technology are very advanced now!"
"Ah... is that so?" Lan Baobao suddenly smiled and nodded, saying, "You're right. Science and technology are so advanced now; we can deal with future things later!"
"Baby, you don't need to be too anxious about other matters either. Later, when I go back, I'll have someone prepare some nourishing soup and nutritional supplements for pregnant women to bring over for you.
Mu Jiangfeng has professional nurses taking care of things over there; nothing will happen. The most important thing for you is to take care of the pregnancy, understand?"
"Yes! I understand. So... can I skip the protein powder in my nutritional supplements? That stuff smells so bad; I can't drink it!"
"Okay, if you don't like protein powder, we can eat more foods that contain protein instead. Do you have any other special requests?"
"Um... not for now!"
"Alright then, I'm leaving for now. Remember what you promised me: no wandering around, okay?"
"Yes, I promise not to wander around. I'll take good care of the pregnancy!"
Seeing her nod in assurance, Gu Feng finally felt relieved to leave.
Gu Feng pushed open the door and caught a faint whiff of fragrance, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Hospitals have many strange smells, and quite a few of the nurses like to spray perfume on themselves.
Many of the nurses are quite young and don't know how to apply perfume properly; the scents they choose often end up being a bit odd. Coupled with the hospital's own odors, the mixture can be quite unpleasant.
Gu Feng didn't dwell on it too much. Seeing that Lan Baobao was about to rest, he left the room.
Not long after Gu Feng had left, Mu Jiao'er suddenly appeared at the door of the ward.
Noticing that there was no one in the corridor, she tiptoed cautiously over, glanced towards the elevator, and after confirming that Gu Feng had indeed left, she let out a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the hospital, she had heard Gu Feng's voice; what a bad start!
Fortunately, before Gu Feng came out, she had heard him and hid by the door to eavesdrop. Then, when he stepped out, she quickly ducked aside.
If he had discovered her, it would have been disastrous!
She had overheard everything they said. Damn Lan Baobao! How could her luck be so good? It hadn't been long at all, and she was already pregnant again.
One pair of children wasn't enough; she actually wanted to use another child to tie Ye Zixun down.
It must be because she was pregnant again that Ye Zixun suddenly wanted to break up with her, right? Yes, that's definitely it.
If it weren't for using the child to threaten Ye Zixun, how could he possibly break up with her?
Lan Baobao, you are truly despicable and shameless. Just as you’ve returned safely, you start to interfere with me, trying to take everything away from me. You are a damn woman.
Mu Jiao'er felt increasingly angry as she thought about it.
Without knocking, she directly opened Lan Baobao's door.
“Lan Baobao.” Mu Jiao'er appeared furiously in Lan Baobao's hospital room. After confirming that Gu Feng had left, she no longer held back and shouted angrily.
Lan Baobao instantly looked up and saw the woman standing at the door; this was the woman she least wanted to see in her life.
Mu Jiao'er!
What a difficult and annoying woman.
Lan Baobao smiled self-deprecatingly, not expecting to meet her under such circumstances.
Wasn't Mu Jiao'er supposed to quietly leave, learn her lesson, and disappear from their lives? Yet here she was, suddenly bursting in from who knows where.
How should one describe Mu Jiao'er?
Ah, right, she is like a stinky and sticky plaster!
“Mu Jiao'er, you are not welcome here.”
"Not welcome?" Mu Jiao'er covered her mouth and sneered, as if she had a reason to be in this dreadful place.
If she had a choice, Mu Jiao'er would rather die than come to Lan Baobao's territory, but there was no other way, was there?
Mu Jiao'er saw Lan Baobao wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, with no makeup on her face. She looked pale and lifeless, her hair a messy tangle, not at all like a normal person, resembling someone who had been seriously ill.
The miserable state she had put herself in was probably to gain Ye Zixun's sympathy.
The more Mu Jiao'er thought about it, the more she felt that Lan Baobao was a cunning and deceitful woman.
Some women are sly, but it's obvious what type they are. Others can be very cunning as well, yet their outward appearance is so gentle that they don't seem deceitful at all; they look like harmless little rabbits.
Lan Baobao belonged to the latter category, while Mu Jiao'er belonged to the former.
Women like this made Mu Jiao'er feel extremely uncomfortable in her stomach, as if she wanted to vomit.
Mu Jiao'er walked to Lan Baobao's bedside, glaring at her fiercely, and said coldly, "The hospital smells terrible and doesn't suit my status at all. I didn't want to come to this place!"
"But you still came!" Lan Baobao replied to Mu Jiao'er without any politeness now.
A woman like Mu Jiao'er, who seduced her husband and kidnapped her daughter, deserved to go to hell.
That she could remain calm while talking to Mu Jiao'er was already quite remarkable.
Lan Baobao said calmly, "Let's skip the small talk. Every extra word makes me feel nauseous. Why did you come to see me? Get straight to the point!"
"You feel disgusted? I find it disgusting too!" Mu Jiao'er snorted coldly and said, "I'm here to warn you today, you are not allowed to return to Ye Zixun's side."
Not allowed to return to Ye Zixun's side?
Is she worried that I might appear next to Ye Zixun?
How ridiculous.
Mu Jiao'er stole Ye Zixun away, and now she even comes to my hospital room to show off just to possess Ye Zixun. Has this girl lost her mind? Or has she been hit by the door?
Lan Baobao sneered inwardly. She glanced at the nurse beside her and calmly said, "You can step out for a moment; I have something to say to this lady."
"But..."
"It's fine, just wait outside. Nothing will happen."
