Chapter 135 Lin Qiuran is missing
On the way back to the ward of the hospital director, He Yang's words were still echoing in my mind.
When I arrived at the ward, I saw Lin Qiuran standing at the door, and I realized that the hospital director was having an examination.
Lin Qiuran pulled me aside and we chatted about everyday things.
He said Wu Qian's due date is in a few days.
I quickly told him, "Don't come these next few days. Stay with Wu Qian. She might start labor anytime soon."
Lin Qiuran nodded, "But you'll be very tired by yourself, and I'm a little worried. Why hasn't Hu Mei come recently? With her here, you can get some rest."
Only after he reminded me did I realize that I hadn't seen her for a few days. The last time I saw her was the day she argued with Song Yafei in the stairwell.
"Perhaps he's busy with work."
"Really? You've been so busy these past few days that you haven't even had time to come to the hospital to see the director? Did you two have a fight?"
quarrel?
That's absolutely not the case.
After she and Song Yafei had a fight that day, they both disappeared.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Lin Qiuran took me home.
After that, I continued to shuttle between the hospital and home.
He Yang was both amused and exasperated to see me running around so diligently.
Once, when we bumped into each other, He Yang couldn't help but complain to me, "Yafei told me to keep running around, aren't you tired? You're so skinny!"
I felt a little embarrassed, afraid that he would think I didn't trust his medical skills.
"Sorry, I feel more at ease checking in every day. Am I causing you any trouble at work?"
"No, not at all. There's a caregiver looking after you, so you don't need to worry too much. Besides, I heard you don't work in Professor Xie's studio. Aren't you busy? We'll definitely contact you if anything comes up."
Even though he said that, I still come over to check on him from time to time.
That day, I returned to my studio and suddenly received a call from Wu Qian. What she said almost made me fall off my seat.
"Brother Tian, Qiu Ran is missing!"
I jumped up, kicked the chair, and accidentally knocked the documents on the table to the ground, leaving them scattered everywhere. I didn't bother to tidy them up.
"Disappeared, what does that mean?"
Wu Qian then told me haltingly, "I'm at the hospital now, and the baby... the baby is in an incubator. I haven't been able to contact Qiu Ran since yesterday."
Hospital?
Wu Qian has already given birth, but Lin Qiuran not only didn't tell me, he's also disappeared.
I had a gut feeling that something was wrong, and I immediately tensed up.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
The commotion I made quickly attracted the attention of my colleagues in the studio. When Jiang Yi came over, he saw that I looked strange and asked me what was wrong.
"We'll talk about it in the car."
Without saying much, I pulled him straight to the garage.
Upon arriving at the parking garage, I asked for Wu Qian's room number at the nurses' station and then went to find her.
When Wu Qian was found, her mother was by her side. She sat on the bed, looking worried, with vacant eyes and a distracted expression.
Her face was pale, her red lips had lost their color, her thin face looked even more pointed, and she looked much more haggard, as if she had lost all her vitality.
When she saw me, she jumped up as if she had grasped a lifeline, but accidentally aggravated her wound, making her wince in pain.
I rushed over and said, "Please sit down and take care of yourself."
Wu Qian's mother also stepped forward to support her with concern, saying, "You just had surgery, how can you make such a big movement?"
At first I thought it was just a simple delivery, but later I found out it was a cesarean section after massive bleeding.
Wu Qian's mother helped her arrange her pillow, let her lie half-reclined, and covered her with a blanket.
After settling in, Wu Qian couldn't wait to tell me about Lin Qiuran.
"Brother Tian, we can't find Qiu Ran."
In her haste, she grabbed my hand, and I patted it reassuringly, "You just gave birth, take your time, there's no rush."
Wu Qian then began to recount what had happened in the past few days.
"My due date was originally a week away. In order to make the delivery go smoothly, I often took walks and strolled around the neighborhood with Qiu Ran."
"But just two days ago, I don't know why we were so unlucky, a car suddenly turned around while we were shopping, without slowing down at all."
"We couldn't dodge in time and were knocked down. My stomach felt wrong right then, but the car just drove off without stopping."
“When Qiu Ran brought me to the hospital, my condition was very bad. She immediately took me into the operating room. The baby was also infected in the womb and is still in the incubator.”
A bad thought popped into my head: Could it be that Lin Qiuran, with her fiery temper, went to find the driver who caused the accident for Wu Qian and the child?
Wu Qian is in this state, and she already has a child. Why is he not taking care of the child? What's the point of doing all this?
I hope that's not the case.
"But yesterday... yesterday Qiu Ran's phone suddenly went unreachable. We couldn't get through to him no matter what we did. He didn't show up either. We've searched his parents' house and his friends' houses. I've also called them, but we still haven't heard from him."
"I don't know where to look, I'm worried... worried about him..."
Wu Qian's unspoken words made my heart leap into my throat.
Perhaps she was a little tired, Wu Qian lost her temper as she spoke, and Wu Qian's mother helped her comb her back.
After resting for a while, she gradually regained some of her strength to speak.
“I’m worried that Qiu Ran might have gone to find the driver of the car that caused the accident. Qiu Ran said that there are only a few Rolls-Royces like that in this city, and they are all registered. I don’t know if he…”
Therefore, Wu Qian was also worried that Lin Qiuran was going to settle scores with others because of her and the child.
To distract her, I brought up the child, "Where's the child? How is the child?"
"The child is being looked after by a doctor. My mother told me this morning that the situation is relatively stable."
I was just wondering if my child's condition was not good, but after hearing what Wu Qian said, I finally feel relieved.
But when I inadvertently noticed the evasive look in Wu Qian's mother's eyes, I began to have doubts.
Wu Qian's mother looked at me with concern from where Wu Qian couldn't see, which made my heart skip a beat.
He couldn't help but suspect that the child's condition wasn't good.
But in order not to worry Wu Qian, I didn't say anything more.
He simply told her, "I'll handle the search. You just focus on getting better. I promise you, I'll bring them back safe and sound, okay?"
Perhaps she was really too tired, because she closed her eyes as she was talking.
Wu Qian's mother gestured for us to leave the room.
I nodded slightly, tiptoed, and left the ward with Jiang Yi.
Wu Qian's mother settled Wu Qian in the ward, while Jiang Yi and I waited at the ward door. After a while, she came out as well.
Without Wu Qian present, the old man couldn't hold back his emotions and his eyes reddened.
I rushed forward and asked, "Auntie, is the child not feeling well?"
Wu Qian's mother nodded with tears in her eyes and lowered her voice, "Let's go over there and talk."
