Chapter 463: A Difficult Matter to Settle

Fu Mingxue saw the state he was in and knew she couldn’t get anything out of him.

So she turned to her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, now isn’t the time for questions. There’s no one home, so they must have all gone to the hospital. Why don’t we head to the hospital first?"

Mrs. Qin agreed.

She said at once, "Alright, let’s go to the hospital first."

Fu Mingxue turned her head and looked back at Qin Yue. "Yu Yu, Auntie and Grandma are going to the hospital for a bit. Don’t be scared. You stay here with your sister, okay? Aunt Li will be back soon, and she’ll stay home with you two."

Qin Yue wanted to shake his head.

He wanted to stay with his aunt.

But he knew that his aunt and grandma had to go to the hospital.

They had to go see their great-grandmother.

"—Okay!"

"Then you watch your sister. Don’t cry, and don’t be scared. Auntie and Grandma are leaving now."

Before leaving, Fu Mingxue still took a moment to hug both children.

Then, with the two children watching them with pleading eyes, she and her mother-in-law departed.

’The fate of Gao Lan’s baby was hanging by a thread.’

’But she still hoped they could save the baby; after all, the child was innocent.’

’Besides, she could tell that Gao Lan cared deeply for this unborn child.’

’If the baby was really lost, Gao Lan would probably grow to resent her stepson, Qin Yue.’

’And another thing—she hoped the old matriarch was okay.’

"Mom, get on and sit tight."

Mrs. Qin got on without a word.

They arrived at the hospital quickly.

Fu Mingxue went to park the bicycle.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Qin hurried toward the hospital lobby.

By the time Fu Mingxue had parked the bicycle and caught up, Mrs. Qin had already found out where to go.

The two of them made their way to the emergency room.

There, they saw Mr. Qin, Qin Wenze, and Grandfather.

"Dad, how is she?" Fu Mingxue was the first to ask Mr. Qin.

Mr. Qin saw it was his younger daughter-in-law and shook his head, his expression grim. "They probably can’t save the baby. Your sister-in-law is also hemorrhaging badly; they’re trying to save her now."

Fu Mingxue was shocked to hear this.

’Was the fall that serious?’

’To think she was hemorrhaging, too.’

When Mrs. Qin heard the word "hemorrhaging," she swayed on her feet.

She could barely stay upright.

’What were they going to do?’

’All they could do was pray Gao Lan would be okay. Otherwise, this matter wouldn’t end well.’

’She had only been gone for two hours. How could something like this have happened?’

Then she thought of the other person.

She asked anxiously, "—What about Mom?"

’The old matriarch is getting on in years, and her health isn’t good.’

’Please let her be okay.’

Mr. Qin’s expression was grave. "Mom woke up, but the doctor said she can’t handle any more shocks. She’s had a minor stroke."

Mrs. Qin: ...?

’If her eldest daughter-in-law had only lost the baby, that might not have been too much of a shock for the old matriarch, since she already knew that much when she fainted.’

’But a major hemorrhage... it would be a miracle if the old matriarch *wasn’t* shocked by that.’

"So what exactly happened? Why did they say Yu Yu pushed her?"

Mr. Qin sighed. "Qin Yue saw Keke fall, so he ran over to help her up. He ended up colliding with Gao Lan, who was coming from the side, and knocked her over."

Mrs. Qin: ...

Fu Mingxue: ...

’At least it wasn’t intentional.’

’But there was no point in dwelling on that now.’

’All they could do was pray the person inside would be alright.’

Then, she looked over at Qin Wenze, who was squatting on the floor, his face a mask of agony.

’To be honest—she couldn’t bring herself to feel any sympathy for her brother-in-law.’

Time ticked by, second by second. Word spread, and members from the other branches of the Qin family began to arrive one after another.

After all, this was a major crisis for the Qin family.
