Chapter 107: She Is Pregnant Again!

Seeing his silence, Shi Runrun looked at him through hot tears. Her damp lips curled into a thin, self-mocking smile as she shook her head. "Xiao Xuezheng, I will never trust you again! You are truly rotten to the core!"

Having said that, she turned and bolted.

She did not want to spend another minute, another second, another instant with him. She did not want any more contact with him!

Her sudden turn and departure made Xiao Xuezheng’s eyes widen in alarm.

He immediately took off after her, shouting as he chased her, "Don’t run! Shi Runrun! Listen to me! Stop!"

His voice, mingled with the sound of the rain, fell upon her ears like a demonic spell, tightening around her head.

It made her head and her heart ache to the point of agony.

Her head throbbed, and her heart ached so intensely it felt as if it were about to explode.

Shi Runrun desperately wanted to ask the heavens why she, who had never done anything evil, deserved such punishment.

After marrying him, she first lost their baby, and now she had caught him cheating. Shi Runrun truly felt that she was the most unfortunate person alive.

Enough...

Let everything end today!

She closed her eyes, running forward while crying.

In the pitch-black night, there was nothing but darkness ahead. She didn't know where to go; she only thought of leaving him—now, leaving him behind.

But the next second!

A cry of terror rang out from behind her!

"Shi Runrun! Look ahead! Stop!"

But it was too late. When Shi Runrun opened her eyes, she couldn't brake in time. With a stumble, she missed her footing and fell into the river bordering the road, which lacked any guardrails.

With a massive splash, water erupted with a deafening roar!

Xiao Xuezheng heard that desperate, bone-chilling scream!

He rushed forward instantly, staring blankly at the churning surface of the river. The figure of the young woman was already gone.

His blood ran cold. Without a moment's hesitation, Xiao Xuezheng dove into the river and swam toward the depths.

Shi Runrun felt as if her face and body were being shattered by the icy river water.

She didn't know what had happened; everything occurred too quickly. She only knew that in the darkness, she had lost her footing and plunged into a place filled with water. Immediately, her entire body was numbed by the bone-chilling cold as the freezing liquid surged in from all sides.

The churning river made it impossible to open her eyes. A force dragged her toward the bottom. She couldn't catch her breath; she was suffocating!

No, she was going to die...

Shi Runrun’s pupils gradually lost focus. In the final moment before losing consciousness, she saw Xiao Xuezheng swimming toward her...

Is he anxious to save her now...

Then why did he cheat?!

Shi Runrun couldn't understand, nor did she want to think about it. She was just so, so tired...

Perhaps death was her final release.

After all, in this world, no one cared about her, no one worried about her, no one loved her...

...

Shi Runrun had a very, very long dream.

In the dream, it was terribly cold—chilly and damp—as a pair of hands gripped her throat, strangling her, trying to suffocate her...

In a daze, a harsh, eerie white light flickered overhead. She opened her eyes blearily to see several people in white lab coats surrounding her.

The air was filled with the pungent scent of disinfectant, and the beeping of medical equipment echoed in her ears.

Shi Runrun knew she was in the hospital again.

It seemed that ever since she married him, she had been constantly getting hurt, constantly ending up in the hospital.

"This is bad. The patient has a severe lung infection, acute pneumonia. We need to perform surgery immediately!"

"But doctor, the ultrasound results just came back. The patient is one month pregnant!"

Pregnant...

In her stupor, Shi Runrun heard those two words.

She had a baby again...

She was, unexpectedly, pregnant with Xiao Xuezheng’s child again...

Was this a blessing or a curse...

Tears spilled from Shi Runrun’s heavy, closed eyelids...

Perhaps the news was too shocking for her.

Even in her semi-conscious state, she suddenly opened her eyes. Enduring the intense pain, she grabbed the doctor who was holding a scalpel, preparing to operate, and begged him with all her might.

"Doctor... please... I beg you... the fact that I am pregnant... do not tell the people outside... please..."

She begged, shaking her head as she wept, repeating the words over and over.

The nurse couldn't help but be moved.

What had happened to this young girl that, even in such a condition, she could wake up and plead for such a thing?

The nurse looked at the doctor, distressed. The head surgeon was also moved and sighed, "Follow the patient's wishes. We will hide the news of her pregnancy for now and focus on treating her lung infection."

"But doctor, hiding a patient's condition from their family is probably against hospital policy..."

"It’s fine. If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility! This patient looks truly pitiful!"

Hearing the doctor finally agree, Shi Runrun released his hand.

Soaked and shivering, she felt a wave of relief wash over her, and her body went limp once more...

Exhausted, her heavy eyelids began to close as she drifted back into unconsciousness. She curled the corners of her lips into a smile from the bottom of her heart.

That’s good... baby... you’ve come back to mother...

No matter if you pity mother or for some other reason, mother will never give you up again...

Even if it costs me my life, I will protect you until you are born...

Mother will never let you leave again...

As for Xiao Xuezheng...

Shi Runrun thought that she had her own plans... at the very least, she would never trust him again.

...

Outside the operating room, Xiao Xuezheng, who was just as drenched, sat there keeping watch.

Seeing her fall into the river, seeing her lose consciousness, seeing her nearly die, seeing her nearly leave him forever—the lingering fear still gripped Xiao Xuezheng’s heart.

He raised his bloodshot eyes, staring at the closed doors of the operating room with the red light glowing above. He pressed his thin lips together and clenched his hands into fists!

The next second, unable to contain himself, he stood up and slammed his fist against the wall!

With a loud bang!

The wall dented instantly, and in response, the skin on his knuckles broke, spilling blood!

This scene was witnessed by Ji Yunan and Cen Huan, who had just arrived.

Ji Yunan hurried over, grabbed his injured hand, and scolded, "My goodness! You don't have to self-mutilate like this, do you?! Besides, it wasn't your fault that the sister-in-law fell into the river!"

Unexpectedly, the next second, the man lowered his head and murmured heavily, "No... it’s all my fault... it’s all my fault... if it weren't for me... today... if it weren't for me..."

His words were fragmented, but hearing them, Ji Yunan realized something.

Today was the anniversary of the day Xuezheng’s first love, Chi Zaozao, had her accident...

Good heavens, no wonder Xuezheng was acting so abnormally today...
