Disheartened, I Fled from the CEO with Our Babies
Chapter 335: The Child Was Saved

Chapter 335: Chapter 335: The Child Was Saved

Huo Shaoyan’s entire chest felt as though it had been struck by a massive boulder, jolted and shaken for an extended period.

For a long time, he couldn’t calm down.

Why?

She was pregnant, yet she didn’t tell him.

What else could it be?

Of course it was because she had never truly decided to be with him, and might still be harboring thoughts of divorcing him and running away with the child.

Huo Shaoyan’s face darkened considerably.

Tang Jiuze continued pressing the dagger into his heart,

"President Huo, because of your preconceived notions, your constant mistrust, and your relentless, limitless harm,

you’ve pushed Mrs. Huo into disappointment time and again. While I’m not a woman and don’t fully understand their thoughts, let me put myself in her shoes: if I were Mrs. Huo,

I definitely wouldn’t be able to reconcile with you just because you risked yourself to save her this time."

Pausing, he added, pointedly,

"After all, the pain you inflicted on her before far outweighs any effort you’re making for her now."

Huo Shaoyan lost control of his emotions, "Shut up!"

The more emotions Huo Shaoyan lost control of, the more delighted Tang Jiuze became.

Instead of being quiet, he fanned the flames further and continued,

"President Huo, you’ve let her down more than once, betrayed your marriage repeatedly with other women, and even now, you remain entangled with An Muxin.

Do you really think that driving An Muxin out of Jingcheng means she won’t still be a thorn in An Ge’s side? Don’t forget, even if you forced An Muxin to leave Jingcheng,

the child in her womb is yours—that’s an undeniable fact. I’d guess the biggest reason An Ge hasn’t told you the truth about her pregnancy is because of the child An Muxin is carrying."

Huo Shaoyan: "..."

...

**

Inside the emergency room at this moment.

An Ge woke up.

The moment she opened her eyes, she shut them again due to the piercing glare of the surgical lights overhead.

She closed her eyes, waited for the sharp pain from the light to subside, then reopened them.

Her hand instinctively reached for her flat abdomen, and her eyes swelled, almost acid-like, under the strain of repressed tears.

Anna, who had just set down the surgical tools, removed her medical mask and said to her, "How are you feeling now?"

An Ge’s throat tightened, and her voice came out dry and raspy, "...The child, was it saved?"

Anna looked at her with a complicated expression. After a long pause, she finally answered, "The child was saved."

At those words, An Ge let out a long breath of relief, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.

An Ge’s pitch-black pupils darted around in her eyes before she turned to Anna and said, "I guess I can’t hide my pregnancy anymore..."

Anna replied, "Young Master Huo’s people are just outside the operating room doors."

An Ge thought for a moment and said,

"When you go out later, tell him..." She paused, "Tell him my child didn’t make it."

Anna was taken aback and even shocked by An Ge’s decision.

She stared at An Ge, "Why... Why would you do this?"

An Ge closed her eyes, falling silent for a long time before speaking slowly,

"Being with him is just too exhausting. I haven’t made up my mind about whether I really want to stay and spend the rest of my life with him."

...

Five minutes later, Anna emerged from the operating room.

By then, Tang Jiuze had already left.

The moment Huo Shaoyan saw Anna step out of the operating room, he stood up from the wheelchair.

Looking at Anna, who quickly approached him, his throat moved before asking hoarsely, "How is she?"

Anna glanced at him indifferently, "The mother is fine."

As soon as those words fell, Huo Shaoyan grabbed the collar of her clothing, his breath heavy as he demanded, "Explain that more clearly!"

Facing Huo Shaoyan’s emotional outburst, Anna remained perfectly calm.

She raised her hand to brush off his grip on her collar.

With an expressionless face, she looked at him and said placidly,

"The mother is fine, but unfortunately, the child couldn’t be saved."

Pausing, she added,

"President Huo, it was because you delayed the rescue efforts to preserve the child that the baby couldn’t be saved."

Huo Shaoyan said nothing, his breathing growing heavier, suffocatingly so.

Before he knew Huo Huaisang and Huo Chenghuan’s true identities, he had harbored thoughts of forcibly tying himself to An Ge by having her bear his child.

Now she was pregnant, yet due to his jealous and baseless suspicion regarding her relationship with Tang Jiuze, the child couldn’t be saved. In an instant, he became an inexcusable sinner once more.

Huo Shaoyan pinched the throbbing space between his brows, silent bitterness swallowing his chest, leaving him restless and unsettled.

After a long time, he raised his reddened eyes and looked at Anna. "I want to see her..."

Anna refused, saying:

"She’s too weak right now..." She paused, "And besides, she doesn’t want to see you."

After saying this, Anna turned to re-enter the operating room, but Huo Shaoyan called out, "Wait."

Anna stopped walking and turned slightly, her gaze meeting Huo Shaoyan’s reddened eyes.

"President Huo, is there something else?"

Huo Shaoyan stepped forward, his Adam’s apple moving noiselessly a few times before he said coldly,

"Did you tamper with her blood test report last time?"

Huo Shaoyan’s gaze was so intense it unnerved Anna slightly.

She hurriedly averted her eyes and replied,

"President Huo, back when your relationship with An Ge was strained and An Muxin had just been exposed for being pregnant with your child, at that time, An Ge was also pregnant,

but she was always living under your shadow and dreaming of leaving you, so... when the blood test report came out, she refused to tell you the truth."

She paused and added,

"President Huo, to be frank, if it hadn’t been for the kidnapping of both An Ge and Young Master Huo that led you to step forward at a crucial moment, An Ge wouldn’t have considered reconciling with you..."

Huo Shaoyan said nothing further.

Anna, subsequently, returned to the operating room.

She approached An Ge again and said,

"I’ve already told President Huo everything. He seems... rather shaken."

An Ge said nothing.

Anna continued, "I also told him you’re very weak right now and need to stay in intensive care for the next couple of days, so..."

An Ge murmured in response, "Please make the arrangements. I truly do need rest to ensure my baby stays safe."

Anna nodded, "Alright."

Quarter of an hour later, An Ge was taken to a private VIP ward.

The ward had restricted access, with only Anna permitted to enter freely—even Nanny Lin wasn’t allowed in.

Huo Shaoyan was eager to see her, so he came to the ward door upon learning she was there.

However, he was turned away.

Even so, Huo Shaoyan wasn’t planning to leave just yet.

He waited outside the ward doors like a sturdy pine tree, standing firm and steady, eyes fixed intently on the door.

As time passed, Anna began to feel restless.

Looking through the glass window at the evening lights illuminating the city outside, she asked An Ge: "Do you think he plans to stand there all night?"

An Ge had just had some congee and was regaining some strength.

She didn’t seem particularly concerned. "He’s injured. When he can’t stand anymore, he’ll leave on his own."

Anna grunted a response, thought for a moment, then asked: "Actually, I want to know—what are you thinking?"

An Ge felt an unprecedented sense of uncertainty regarding her future.

She sighed softly, remained silent for a long moment, then uttered two light words,

"I... don’t know."

Anna looked at her with complex emotions and said:

"Honestly, the biggest problem between you and President Huo is the lack of trust. You don’t trust that he’ll change his ways and treat you well again,

and he doesn’t trust that you genuinely want to reconcile with him... Then there’s An Muxin wedged between the two of you, which makes it almost impossible for true reconciliation."

An Ge responded faintly, "Maybe."

An Ge was tired.

She wanted to rest.

After An Ge fell asleep, Anna left the private VIP ward through a designated passageway.

Huo Shaoyan was still standing outside the ward door and showed no signs of leaving.

Having heard that Huo Shaoyan had been standing outside An Ge’s private VIP ward for the entire afternoon, Fu Rou was extremely distressed and personally cooked four dishes and a soup to bring to the hospital.

But as soon as Huo Shaoyan saw her, he was annoyed.

Before Fu Rou could even speak, he snapped,

"Why are you here? Haven’t I already told you not to bother me at the hospital recently?"

During his hospital stay, Huo Shaoyan had visibly lost weight.

Fu Rou looked at his sunken cheeks, her eyes welling with tears as she said,

"I wouldn’t have come if I hadn’t heard you hadn’t eaten or drunk anything and had been standing outside her door for hours..."

Huo Shaoyan retorted coldly, "Who’s the fool who ran to you with their gossip?"
