Chapter 363: Chapter 363 Lady Ning Encounters a Fire During Childbirth

Shen Jiangqing’s lips parted as if wanting to say something else, but the other end of the line had already hung up completely.

Only a long succession of busy tones remained...

Her face turned terrifyingly grim, but there was simply nothing she could do. She forced herself to endure, thinking darkly: just wait. When her Chengcheng takes over the Li Family, she will make every single one of these people kneel at her feet!

...

Elsewhere, in Reykjavik.

The eastern horizon began to show hints of dawn, and the earth was gradually growing brighter.

Inside the family ward of a private hospital.

Ning Yichu woke early, her thoughts restless over Annette.

Still lying on the bed, Ningning heard her movements and groggily opened her eyes, her voice heavy with sleepiness.

"Mmm... Mommy, why are you up so early? Where are you going?"

"An auntie got hurt. Mommy is going to check on her."

Ning Yichu paused and turned to tuck the little blanket snugly over her, speaking softly, "It’s still early. Sleep a while longer."

"Okay..."

Ningning was curious but so overwhelmed by drowsiness that she quickly closed her eyes again and slipped back into her dreams.

Ning Yichu quietly closed the door and left.

Walking through the long corridor, her pace inexplicably slowed as she passed Li Lingyang’s ward, thoughts surfacing in her mind.

How is Li Lingyang doing right now?

Have his injuries healed?

Has he been diligent with his IV therapy...?

Still, recalling how he had leisure to focus on trivial matters just the day before yesterday, and with Special Assistant Xu by his side, he probably wasn’t in serious trouble.

She quickened her pace, heading directly to the hospital where Annette was staying.

The police and the personnel Mo Baiyou had sent were deeply dedicated.

Even at this hour, they remained steadfastly at their posts...

Ning Yichu felt touched and, in appreciation, ordered them breakfast delivery on her phone as a token of thanks.

The independent ward was extremely quiet.

Only the sounds of machines and fluid dripping through the IV could be heard... drip, drip...

Mo Baiyou hadn’t rested either.

Dark shadows lightly hung under his eyes, and on the coffee table before him sat several empty cups of Americano coffee.

He had stood vigil the entire night?

Ning Yichu was stunned. She gently nudged him, "Mr. Mo, why don’t you rest for a bit? I’ll stay here and keep watch."

Mo Baiyou met Ning Yichu’s worried gaze, paused, then replied, "No need. I’ll just nap here briefly. If anything arises, I can assist immediately."

"Alright then."

Noticing Mo Baiyou’s weary expression, Ning Yichu worried he might catch a chill. She picked up a neatly folded blanket nearby and carefully draped it over him.

Mo Baiyou’s thin lips curved faintly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

Annette remained in a coma...

Ning Yichu, her mind consumed by the recent events, was still at a loss, unable to figure out the perpetrator’s motives.

Just then, Annette, lying in bed, suddenly fluttered her eyelashes and lightly furrowed her brow.

The heart monitor beside the bed began to beep faster!!

Clearly... Annette was waking up!!

Her emotions surged, and Ning Yichu hurriedly pressed the nurse-call button to summon the doctor...

...

Over by Special Assistant Xu’s side.

The investigation into Annette’s identity had been swiftly completed.

Along with it, they uncovered details about Antony’s death and the sudden fire in the archives of Saint Lya Hospital...

He immediately reported this information.

"Are you saying there were complications during Chu Chu’s childbirth?!"

In the luxurious hospital suite, Li Lingyang’s injuries had yet to heal, and he could only recline against the bed. His expression underwent a drastic change.

"President Li, based on the current leads, the other party was eliminating the medical personnel who had contact with Lady Ning back then. There’s definitely more to this, and—"

Special Assistant Xu’s face was grim. "We also uncovered that after the childbirth, Lady Ning encountered a fire. If she hadn’t risked her life to escape with Chen Bao and Ningning, things could have turned very dire."

Li Lingyang’s heart sank to rock bottom.

It felt like needles stabbing into him, bringing an unbearable pang of suffocation.

He hadn’t realized how much Chu Chu and her children had endured outside of his sight...

And in her most difficult moments, he hadn’t been there to help her.

Guilt and self-reproach tangled in his chest, his grip tightening into a fist, his dark eyes glimmering with a sharp edge.

"Is this Shen Jiangqing’s doing again?"

Shen Jiangqing’s malicious schemes targeted Ning Yichu as her primary enemy, trying to frame her multiple times.

Li Lingyang couldn’t help but suspect her role in this incident.

Special Assistant Xu furrowed his brows. "That was our initial suspicion as well, but when we checked the timeline, we found that Shen Jiangqing was also going through childbirth at the time. She likely didn’t have time..."

"She might have been occupied, but let’s not forget she had a brother, Shen Jun!"

It was becoming clear that Shen Jun acted as Shen Jiangqing’s enforcer for her dirty work.

Li Lingyang’s cold gaze sharpened. "Investigate Shen Jun’s whereabouts during that period."

"Yes, President Li!"

Special Assistant Xu complied.

Soon after, it seemed another thought crossed his mind. "By the way, Annette seems to have awakened. Lady Ning and Mo Baiyou are both by her side now..."

At this moment, it should have been him beside Chu Chu!

Instead, Mo Baiyou once again beat him to it...

Li Lingyang’s expression turned darker and darker. "Ask the doctor—when can I finally move about?"

He had had enough of being trapped in the hospital room!

He needed to go find Chu Chu and the kids...

Special Assistant Xu didn’t dare delay and quickly complied.

...

Fifth floor.

Independent ward.

After Ning Yichu pressed the nurse-call button, doctors and nurses quickly arrived and began their examinations...

Annette slowly opened her eyes amidst the commotion, staring blankly at the crowd around her.

It took a long while for her to recall what had happened.

Her voice was weak and strained as she called out, "N-Ning... Lady Ning..."

"Annette, I’m here..."

Upon hearing her, Ning Yichu immediately stepped forward and gently held her hand.

"How do you feel? The doctor is right here. If anything feels off, let us know right away."

"No... I’m fine!"

Annette was a nurse herself and knew her condition better than anyone. It was just superficial injuries.

Although pale, she mustered her remaining strength, clasped Ning Yichu’s hand tightly, and asked, "...Doctor Antony, how is he? Is he alright?!?"

The moment she spoke, the room fell silent.

Ning Yichu’s lips pressed into a tight line, unsure how to respond.

"Lady Ning?"

"Annette... When we arrived, it was already... too late..." Ning Yichu’s expression grew somber. "At the scene, we only managed to save you."

Upon hearing this, Annette’s already pale complexion lost even more color, her lips trembling as she closed her eyes in anguish.

Just a moment too late...

Doctor Antony... The world would no longer have Doctor Antony...
