The 99th Divorce

Chapter 1646: Pregnant for Real

The bodyguards exchanged looks among themselves and seemed to come to a final decision. The one in charge said, “I’m sorry, Miss. You will have to come with us.”

“No!”

Shen Manting looked at them and suddenly frantically screamed, “Help! Kidnap!”

Many doctors and nurses walking about. When they heard the commotion, they quickly looked over.

The bodyguards were caught by surprise. They turned around and immediately muffled Shen Manting’s cries.

Shen Manting began to violently struggle. Within a few moments, she felt a sharp and searing pain in her abdomen.

Her brows knitted tightly together. Her facial complexion suddenly turned pale.

Shen Manting gradually ceased struggling, and her breath started to come in rapid bursts.

The bodyguards sensed that something was off and quickly released her.

Shen Manting collapsed as she hugged her abdomen in pain.

A doctor hurried over and asked, “What is going on?”

He soon noticed Shen Manting crouched on the floor. Her face was contorted in pain. Authoritatively, he said, “Make way. Let me take a look at her.”

The bodyguards had never intended to hurt Shen Manting. They quickly moved to the side.

Shen Manting’s belly was truly in pain. Her face was pale. Sweat droplets appeared on her brow.

She was carried onto the hospital bed, where the doctor checked her. He asked, “Where does it hurt?”

“My abdomen… The child…” Shen Manting was in so much pain that even those few words took significant effort. With a pale face, she tugged on the doctor’s white coat and asked, “I haven’t eaten for a whole day. Could that be the cause of it?”

The doctor’s expression became stern. He demanded, “How could you not eat for a whole day when you are pregnant? Send her to the obstetrician right away!”

…

The confirmation of Shen Manting’s pregnancy soon made its way to Old Mrs. Shen’s ears.

When she found out that the cause of her ailment was very possibly the fact that Shen Manting hadn’t eaten at all for the whole day, Old Mrs. Shen was plagued with guilt.

She made her way to Shen Manting’s ward and found her fast asleep.

Shen Manting seemed to be on edge. Her brows were tightly knitted, and her body was curled up like a newborn baby.

Her arms were wrapped around her tummy, and her complexion was pale.

She had changed into the hospital gown and was placed on a drip. Her situation didn’t look good.

Old Mrs. Shen’s heart ached as she made her way forward.

This child had been an orphan from young. It was through so many hardships that she was finally able to lead a comfortable life. However, it was evident that Shen Manting was extremely repulsed by Shen Luo’an.

It was more accurate to say that she vehemently hated him.

Old Mrs. Shen’s entry seemed to have roused Shen Manting from her deep sleep.

She tossed and turned. Before long, she opened her eyes.

When she saw Old Mrs. Shen, Shen Manting was visibly shocked.

She immediately looked around at her surroundings and saw that everything was white.

The smell of medicine wafted over. She realized the back of her palm hurt from where the needle was inserted.

This is the hospital…

It had been a long while since she had come to the hospital, regardless of how unwell she felt.

Given her current circumstances, there was no way she could afford the expensive medical fees.

Old Mrs. Shen released a heavy sigh and said, “Manting, I’m sorry. Granny has let you down.”

“Thank you,” Shen Manting suddenly said. “Thank you for remembering me, and thank you for coming to find me. I will always remember your great kindness. However… I really can’t go back with you.”

“Why not?” Old Mrs. Shen refused to accept her decision. “Is it because I haven’t treated you well enough?”

Shen Manting laughed. It was as if a flower had blossomed on her pale face. “Just one person treating me well isn’t enough to make up for it all.”
