Reborn in the 80s and Remarrying an Officer, Let the Ungrateful Cry!

Mr. Qin was also silent.

He felt they had truly wronged their eldest daughter-in-law.

”Mom, you get some rest. I’ll come back tomorrow.”

”Okay, you go on back,” Granny Qin said. She was also worried about the two children at home.

Gao Lan had lost so much blood, and then she herself had fainted right after—the two children must have been terrified.

Mr. Qin asked Elder Qin to go home with him.

But Elder Qin refused.

Elder Qin said he had to stay at the hospital with his wife.

Seeing his resolve, Mr. Qin had no choice but to head home first.

When he got home, he found that the pool of blood on the floor had already been cleaned up.

Just then, Aunt Li came out of the kitchen.

Mr. Qin asked her directly, ”Aunt Li, how are the two children? Have they gone to sleep?”

Aunt Li immediately replied, ”The two children were taken away by Aunt Fu. She stopped by earlier and saw them crying their eyes out. She asked if they wanted to go to the courtyard house and sleep with their little brother and sister—they both nodded yes, so Aunt Fu took them with her.”

Mr. Qin: ...?

But on second thought, he figured it was fine for them to sleep over there.

Mrs. Fu watched the sleepless brother and sister.

”Don’t be scared. Everything will be okay. Go to sleep now. Grandma is right here.”

’Sigh, these poor children.’

’Their birth mother was what she was, and now their stepmother is... ’

’I wonder how things are at the hospital.’

’I hope the baby in her belly can be saved.’

’I just hope everyone is safe and sound...’

Qin Yue’s eyes were still red. He huddled in a corner, not saying a word.

Fortunately, Qin Ruqiao was still little. After crying for so long, she was exhausted and had finally fallen asleep.

「Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.」

Gao Lan opened her eyes.

She stared blankly at the white fluorescent lights for a moment before her memory came rushing back. Her expression changed in an instant as she reached for her stomach.

”The baby... my baby is gone—”

The moment she cried out, Qin Wenze and Mrs. Qin rushed to her side.

”Gao Lan, don’t panic. Children... you’ll have them in the future.”

Mrs. Qin told a well-intentioned lie.

She felt that, no matter what, they should wait until after Gao Lan was discharged to find the right time to tell her the truth.

Qin Wenze was a terrible liar. He opened his mouth, but found that nothing he could say would be right.

So he shut his mouth.

Hearing that her baby was gone, Gao Lan burst into heartbroken tears.

Even though she had schemed to get pregnant, over the past three months she had developed a deep and profound love for the child in her belly.

Day and night, she had prayed for the child to grow up healthy and strong.

To be brilliant and extraordinary.

But now, they were telling her the baby was gone.

Wait. She remembered hemorrhaging.

”Qin Wenze, tell me, will I still be able to have children?”

Qin Wenze’s face fell. He didn’t know how to answer her question.

Watching from the side, Mrs. Qin was frantic.

’Is something wrong with my son’s head? At a time like this, he should just focus on comforting her!’

Seeing that he still hadn’t spoken, she discreetly reached out and tugged on his sleeve.

Qin Wenze forced a smile and tried to reassure her. ”Y-You will. The doctor said there’s still hope...”

But Gao Lan was no fool. Seeing the look on his face, how could she not understand?

Tears streamed down her face even harder. ”Qin Wenze, just tell me. I can’t have children anymore, can I?”

’If I can’t have children, what’s the point of living?’

”You can! You definitely can! The doctor said there’s still hope! Let’s just focus on getting you better first—”

But how could Gao Lan possibly take any of that in?

The moment she thought about being unable to have more children, a wave of despair washed over her. She coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted dead away.
