Murong Qiao was not surprised to receive Zheng Yue’s call.
“Qiaoqiao, Nan Kang knows that I’m pregnant!” Zheng Yue blurted out everything. “But he wants to bring me here for an abortion. 1 don’t want to. I don’t want…”
As she spoke, Zheng Yue’s words were filled with tears, and her emotions surged.
“Please help me, Qiaoqiao. 1-1 really can’t lose this child. Everything is fine except this child…”
The more she spoke, the sadder she became as tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Murong Qiao had been listening to Zheng Yue in silence since the call was connected. It was not until she was sobbing uncontrollably that she spoke slowly.
“Alright, think of a way to stall for time. I’ll go make preparations.” Murong Qiao gestured.
Upon hearing her words, Zheng Yue’s eyes lit up. “Alright! I’ll go now! I’ll definitely try my best to stall for time. Thank you, Qiaoqiao. 1—”
She spoke incoherently and excitedly, but before she could finish, she heard the assistant’s voice at the door.
“Are you done yet?” the assistant asked impatiently.
Standing at the door of the female toilet, he would receive strange looks from others from time to time, and his patience quickly disappeared.
Zheng Yue hurriedly hung up the phone and came out of the washroom while pretending to limp.
The assistant frowned when he saw that.
Zheng Yue smiled in embarrassment. “My… my legs are numb.”
She made up a reason, but it was only temporary.
The assistant did not care if her legs were numb or not. When he saw that Zheng Yue was done, he brought her to the front desk to register. Then, he took the elevator all the way to the corresponding operating theater.
The cold seat made Zheng Yue panic. She secretly glanced at the assistant who did not say a word. He sat there like a robot carrying out orders and only his eyes were staring at the rolling broadcast on the screen.
Buy time, buy time…
She muttered these words in her heart and suddenly came up with a plan.
“1-1 think I lost my phone…” Zheng Yue suddenly felt around her body uneasily.
The assistant glanced at her and said calmly, “So be it.”
What was there to care about losing a lousy cell phone?
“B-but there are still many important documents related to the company on the phone.” Zheng Yue steeled her heart and added, “And a lot of the boss’s private information…”
When the assistant heard the last sentence, his expression changed and he stood up from his chair. He looked at Zheng Yue with a dark expression.
“… Then wait for me here. I’ll go find it,” the assistant said.
It was fine if there was some company content. Anyway, the people who picked it up might not be able to understand it.
However, Nan Kang’s private information was another matter. Who knew what Zheng Yue had stored in her cell phone?
Seeing that he had fallen into her trap, Zheng Yue was overjoyed. She thought that she could run away so that he would still have to look for her when he returned.
However, before she could decide which direction to run, she saw the assistant coming back with a nurse not long after.
“Little nurse, please do me a favor. This is my sister. She got pregnant before marriage and was cheated by a scumbag, However, there’s something wrong with her emotional state. I have something to do and can’t leave her here alone, so help me look after her for a while.” The assistant made up an excuse.
The nurse nodded. “Alright, you go.”
She had seen this kind of thing many times. The young nurse took a look at Zheng Yue and knew that she was young. Therefore, she immediately believed the assistant’s words.
Hearing the young nurse’s reply, the assistant left, leaving Zheng Yue and the nurse staring at each other.
The assistant was even more cautious than Zheng Yue had thought. Now that she was being watched by the nurse, she couldn’t leave at all. She could only secretly hope that Murong Qiao’s efficiency would be higher.
At the same time, Zheng Yue had completely understood Nan Kang’s thoughts. Without this child, she would be nothing to Nan Kang.
Seeing that he treated her like this even in her current state, she was sure Nan Kang would abandon her in the future.
At the thought of the word ‘abandon’, the incident at the hotel surfaced in her mind. The cold money hit her hard, like an insulting mark, causing her heart to fall into a deep pool and gradually turn cold.
The memory of being abandoned last time was still fresh in her mind. She was also sincerely afraid, so such a thing could not happen again.
■Absolutely not.’
As time passed, Zheng Yue waited without saying a word. However, her intertwined hands were not warm at all. They were cold, just like her heart at this moment.
A sudden vibration made Zheng Yue perk up.
She quickly took out her phone and looked at the message.
“You can enter the operating theater at any time.” It was from Murong Qiao.
The moment she saw this sentence, Zheng Yue finally felt relieved.
At this moment, she did not have the time to ask Murong Qiao about the specifics. She could only take it one step at a time. Zheng Yue took a deep breath to let herself relax as much as possible. Finally, she did not have to stall for time.
The assistant had also returned, but he didn’t look too good.
“I didn’t find the cell phone you mentioned.” The assistant looked at Zheng Yue suspiciously.
Zheng Yue did not care about this anymore. When she heard the assistant say this, she quickly shook her head and took out her phone.
She explained obediently, “I was too nervous just now. It has always been in my pocket.”
“Let’s go to the operating theater.” Zheng Yue took the initiative to mention the main point of this visit.
The assistant looked at her skeptically. He had a feeling that something had happened during his trip out and back.
Zheng Yue was clearly very resistant to the abortion just now, but now, she actually took the initiative to proceed. He couldn’t help but get suspicious.
However, the purpose of coming to the hospital this time was to have an abortion. The assistant had not forgotten about this. Seeing that Zheng Yue was willing to cooperate now, his originally ugly expression warmed up a little.
The assistant picked up the registration form. “Then let’s go.”
Zheng Yue followed behind him. The operating theater was at the end of the corridor, and it was only a few steps away.
“Unrelated personnel are not allowed to enter.” A doctor in a white coat stopped the assistant.
Zheng Yue had already walked in. The assistant wanted to follow her in to ensure the job was completed, but was rejected on the grounds that the operating theater was a sterile environment and the abortion process was not easy to watch.
Hence, the assistant’s vision was blocked by the door of the operating theater. Zheng Yue could not help but heave a sigh of relief in the operating theater.
“Do, do I need to do anything?” She looked nervously at the people in the operating theater.
The operating theater looked decent. The bed and equipment were all placed at the side. Although she knew what Murong Qiao’s plan was, Zheng Yue was still a little nervous when she saw the surgical light and smelled the disinfectant.
A female nurse stood up and smiled kindly. “No need. You’ll be fine after staying here for a while. As for the relevant report information, we’ll provide it later. Don’t worry.”
At this moment, the people standing in the operating theater were all arranged by Murong Qiao at the last minute.
In order to help Zheng Yue hide the truth and not arouse suspicion, the best way was to let people think that she had really undergone an operation.
Zheng Yue might arouse suspicion, but the doctors and nurses in the hospital would not.
“That’s good.” Zheng Yue finally smiled.
She found a corner seat and sat down. Finally, she could breathe a sigh of relief in a corner where no one was watching..
