Chapter 179 Yun Shuiyao's Miscarriage

Huo Jinzhou was stunned into immobility.

A child? What child?

Wasn't Yun Shuiyao faking her pregnancy? How could there be a child?

His gaze, filled with complexity, fell upon the unconscious woman on the ground. There was no time to verify the truth.

"The ambulance is here! The ambulance is here!"

Soon, Yun Shuiyao was lifted onto a stretcher, and the Huo family hurriedly rushed to the hospital.

Yun Mu and Huo Tingying exchanged a glance before returning to the Huo family mansion.

The engagement banquet was thus called off, leaving the guests whispering and dispersing.

...

Huo Jinzhou stood at the entrance of the operating room, his handsome face grim, his thin lips tightly pressed together, as he looked down at the trail of blood on the floor.

At this moment, he finally realized that Yun Shuiyao had truly been pregnant.

"Rao'er..."

From the elevator, Lin Wanqing and Yun Chengdong rushed over in panic.

Due to Yun Shuiyao's past misdeeds, not a single member of the Yun family attended today’s engagement banquet. However, upon hearing about Yun Shuiyao’s accident, they all hurried over anxiously.

"Mrs. Yun, Third Young Master Yun."

Seeing Lin Wanqing and Yun Chengdong arrive, Huo Jinzhou walked over to greet them. Lin Wanqing, seeing the blood on the ground, nearly broke down. "How is Rao'er?"

"The doctors are still inside trying to save her," Huo Jinzhou said.

Their eyes were fixed on the door of the operating room, where the display showed that Yun Shuiyao had been inside for thirty minutes.

Despite their grievances, she was still their beloved daughter for many years. Lin Wanqing, tears in her eyes, said, "If only I hadn’t argued with her and skipped the engagement banquet..."

Yun Chengdong, feeling heavy-hearted, held Lin Wanqing as she sobbed against his shoulder.

Everyone was on edge, the low sobs echoing through the corridor, making it feel eerie and bleak.

Old Master Huo felt a chill run down his spine as he watched the operating room solemnly.

Yun Shuiyao had been injured while saving him, and now both she and the child were in danger.

Li Yunlan comforted the weeping Lin Wanqing with reassuring words.

Old Master Huo also felt deeply concerned.

As time ticked by, the doors of the operating room finally opened. A doctor emerged, mask still on, his expression grave. "Family members, please sign here."

Lin Wanqing rushed forward, and upon seeing the words “Critical Condition Notice,” she almost fainted.

Yun Chengdong signed the notice, his fingers trembling.

The doctor went back in, and the doors closed once more.

Old Master Huo closed his eyes and said to Lin Wanqing, "Miss Yun saved me, and the Huo family will give you a satisfactory answer regarding this matter."

Lin Wanqing shook her head. "I just want Rao'er to wake up safely."

Another hour passed.

The doors of the operating room opened again, and the doctor removed his mask. "We did everything we could, but we couldn’t save the child. Miss Yun lost too much blood and sustained multiple injuries. She needs to be transferred to the ICU for further observation."

The child was not saved.

Old Master Huo closed his eyes.

Huo Jinzhou clenched his fists.

Lin Wanqing sighed with relief. "As long as she is safe, that’s what matters."

In truth, everyone had already anticipated this outcome. At three months pregnant, with such severe injuries and excessive bleeding, it was fortunate that she survived.

But even so, Old Master Huo felt a deep sense of heaviness.

At the entrance of the ICU, Yun Chengdong said to the Huo family, "Old Master Huo, you should all go home. The Yun family will take care of things here."

After all, Yun Shuiyao was still part of the Yun family, and now that the child was gone, it was uncertain whether the Huo family would still want her as a daughter-in-law...

Old Master Huo replied, "Miss Yun saved me, and since she is still in danger, how can I leave with peace of mind? Despite losing the child, the engagement remains intact."

Li Yunlan was visibly shaken, seemingly wanting to object but not daring to speak.

Yun Chengdong was suddenly awakened by these words.

Old Master Huo had initially been extremely opposed to Yun Shuiyao’s engagement to Huo Jinzhou, yet now he openly affirmed the engagement.

Could it be that this was all part of Yun Shuiyao’s plan?

Lin Wanqing hadn’t thought of this layer and worried, "Rao'er valued this child greatly. If she wakes up and finds out the child is gone, she will be devastated..."

She had just lost her eldest son, and despite Yun Shuiyao’s past wrongdoings, she was still her child, and she hoped Yun Shuiyao would recover well.

Old Master Huo sighed, "The Huo family has wronged you."

Yun Chengdong pursed his lips. "Mom, you should go back too. I'll take care of things here."

Huojinzhou also said, "Grandpa, you should go back as well. I'll contact the best experts. Don't worry; I won't let anything happen to Ya'er."

Old Master Huo nodded and left.

Li Yunlan grabbed Huojinzhou's arm. "Jinzhou, come with me for a moment. I need to talk to you."

Li Yunlan led Huojinzhou to an empty ward, ensuring no one was outside before lowering her voice. "Why are you staying here and causing trouble? Now that the child is gone, it's the perfect chance to get rid of Yun Shuiyao, that jinx. Why are you rushing to get involved?"

Huojinzhou frowned slightly. "Mom, Grandpa has already said the engagement remains."

"That's just what Grandpa said to keep the Yuns at bay. Today, I'm asking you straight: if you don't want to marry Yun Shuiyao, I'll find a way to break off this engagement!"

Those words felt familiar.

Initially, Li Yunlan had promised to break off his engagement with Yun Mu and have him approach Yun Shuiyao instead.

Now, history was repeating itself.

He rubbed his temples, feeling tired. "Mom, now isn't the time for this..."

"You're just making excuses. Are you still harboring feelings for that wretch? Yun Shuiyao is just a cast-off from the Yun family. There are plenty of heiresses in the capital who are better than her. Which one isn't superior to her?" Li Yunlan sighed in frustration. "In any case, that woman will never be my daughter-in-law!"

Huojinzhou's mind was in turmoil, still grappling with the loss of the child, and now Li Yunlan wouldn't let up. He snapped.

"Mom, I know what I'm doing! Besides, you don't understand Yun Shuiyao. The power behind her is far stronger than the Yun family's. I'm not harboring feelings for her; I need her backing to rise again. Do you understand now?"

"W-What do you mean?" Li Yunlan was taken aback by his outburst and asked, focusing on the key points. "What kind of power does Yun Shuiyao have? Jinzhou, you're confusing me."

There were footsteps in the corridor outside. Huojinzhou lowered his voice. "I'll explain later. For now, there's something you need to do for me. Go back to the old house and prepare a room. When Yun Shuiyao is discharged, bring her there to stay. Also, remember to install a listening device in a hidden spot."

Li Yunlan looked stunned but finally nodded. "Alright, I'll go take care of it right away."
