Chapter 445 - Where are you going?! (1/2)

”Ma! Stop hitting him! He's in more pain than you! Stop!!”

Lu Han raise his voice at his mother as his arms wraps around her and carefully pulls her away from his older brother.

Out of everyone here, he knows that Lu Tian is in the most pain. The person behind those doors is not some person, but his wife and child.

Just as Lu Han was able to pull his mother away, the lights to operating sign turns off and the doors slide open.

Doctor Dong steps out in his surgical uniform and he removes the mask on his face. He looks at everyone and sighs inside.

”How are they?”

Grandfather Ji quickly asks when he saw his friend walk out. Only the heavens above know how he feels at this moment.

Turning to look at his friend, Doctor Dong nods his head. ”Liu Shan's surgery was a success. The abrasion on his neck has been cleared. He will need to stay here in the hospital for a few days until he recovers.”

Hearing that Liu Shan was alright, Grandfather Ji and Ji Jingxu sighed in relief. The Lu family was not close to the man, so it was reasonable that they did not worry much for him.

However, because he is Yue Ling's assistant, Liu Shan often came to visit the Ji Mansion when he had time off. Thus, both the grandfather and grandson were worried about him. After all, Liu Shan was not only an assistant, but was a part of their family.

Just as Doctor Dong explained Liu Shan's condition, Xu Long, Lin Hui and Qi Li arrived at the hospital in time to hear the news.

When they heard Liu Shan was going to be fine, all three men felt relief.

Lu Tian slowly stood up when he did not hear about his wife's situation. He looks at Doctor Dong and the same uneasy feeling he hates so much intensified inside his chest.

”What about my wife and child?”

He needed to know that they are both safe and nothing happened to them.

Doctor Dong looks at the young man and he close his eyes to take a deep breath. As a doctor, he had to tell the patient's family the news whether it was good or bad. However, now, everything was different because he is standing in front of two of Imperial's most powerful people.

Taking another deep breath, he opens his eyes and part his lip to speak.

”Yue Ling suffered blood trauma in her head due to the crash but we were able to save her. However, the impact of the collision was too much for her body to handle and she suffered massive blood loss.”

He avert his eyes from Lu Tian to look at everyone else in the room.

”The danger has passed. Once the anesthesia wears off she will wake up. As of now, she is being transfer to a private ward for close monitoring, but I advise everyone here to give her some time once she is awake. She will need all of your support.”

As Doctor Dong's words fell, Lu Tian's lower lip began to tremble as he lift his leg to take a step towards the old man. However, each step he took felt like he was slipping into quicksand.

”W-What about our baby? Were you able to save our little one?”

Doctor Dong does not beat around the bush but close his eyes and shook his head. ”We lost the fetus.”

”Noooo!!”

Madam Lu wails in agonizing pants and sobs as she covers her mouth with one hand. She press her head against her youngest son's chest and pours her heart out.

No mother ever wants to lose a child. Yue Ling is so young and in her weakened state, how will she take the tragic news?

As her heart wrecking cries sound, everyone else became at a loss for words at the news.

Loss? Sad? Grief? Guilt? Pain?

At this moment, no one knew what to feel anymore.
