My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies-Chapter 197 - 147: She Realized She Was Ridiculously Wrong
Chapter 197: Chapter 147: She Realized She Was Ridiculously Wrong
Shen Hanxiu got into the car, and Aunt Bao immediately stepped forward with heartfelt advice, "Sir, please explain things properly to your wife, don’t just keep everything to yourself."
When she saw Su Nian slap him, Aunt Bao felt heartbroken.
No one wishes for such incidents to happen, and sir didn’t hesitate to drive forward, risking his own life to protect Zhenzhen.
But the lady didn’t see any of this, and since the master is a prideful person, it would be such a pity if a misunderstanding caused a rift between them, especially since they love each other so much...
Right now, Shen Hanxiu doesn’t care whether Su Nian hates him or not; he only hopes that Zhenzhen will be safe.
If something were to happen to Zhenzhen, any further explanations would just seem like excuses, which, in Su Nian’s eyes, would probably look like shirking responsibility.
He deserved that slap; it was under his watch that the accident happened...
The car stopped in front of the hospital, and Shen Hanxiu immediately inquired about Su Zhen’s whereabouts.
The nurse, seeing the blood on his face, didn’t recognize him as Shen Hanxiu at first.
"She’s in the operating room being resuscitated..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Hanxiu immediately turned around and hurried towards the operating room.
Outside the operating room, there were quite a few people, including Ziyan and Su Nian, and Su Yuecheng was also there.
Shen Hanxiu spotted Su Nian at first glance; she was crying, devastated, in Su Yuecheng’s arms.
He had never seen her hug another man before; when he held her, she always seemed so petite, but now seeing her in Su Yuecheng’s arms, he realized she wasn’t just petite, but frail, frail enough to be distressing...
If it had been before, he would have probably pulled Su Nian into his arms right away, but this time he just stood at a distance, regretting that the person who could provide her comfort in her uneasy times wasn’t himself.
It was more like Su Yuecheng was supporting her rather than holding her.
Su Yuecheng turned his head and saw Shen Hanxiu, then gently touched Su Nian’s head and whispered something to her.
Then Su Nian raised her head.
Their eyes met, and this time, no one looked away.
Su Nian wiped her tears with her hands and walked towards him.
Both of them had blood on their clothes, Su Zhen’s blood...
As she approached him, Shen Hanxiu looked at her with a pained expression and spoke hoarsely, "Nian..."
Her eyes were red, yet she held back her tears, her dry lips slowly parting, her eyes filled with resentment towards him.
"Are you satisfied now?" Her voice was soft, but it heavily struck his heart.
Shen Hanxiu took a deep breath, unable to say anything, unsure of what to say.
"Could you please listen to my request? Stop messing up my life... please have mercy and let me be."
Even Shen Hanxiu, a man, couldn’t help but tear up slightly.
"...Okay."
A simple word, but so hard to say; he glanced at the operating room and then at the worn-out Su Nian, now lacking even the courage to hold her and assure her, "It will be alright."
If his departure could ensure the safety of her and their child, then bearing the pain alone was sufficient...
He turned and walked away, his back desolate, blood-stained attire, yet without any sign of disarray, leaving behind only a profound sense of desolation.
Only when he disappeared around the corner did Su Nian’s restrained tears freely flow.
Only then did she realize how difficult it was to give her child a complete family.
Last night, when she saw the photo he sent, she thought it was the first step towards mending their broken relationship...
She didn’t know whether today’s incident was an accident or intentionally caused, but she knew just how important her child was in her life; she should never have risked her child.
What if something happened to Su Zhen? What then?
"Mom... sister will be fine."
Su Nian crouched down and hugged Su Bao, bursting into tears.
The morning news immediately broadcasted the car accident live.
"This morning at seven o’clock, a car accident occurred on Mai City South Street. It is understood that the owner of the black sedan in the image is Shen Hanxiu from the Sheng Han Group, and the little girl involved is the daughter of the Third Young Master and his ex-wife..."
For a time, this news dominated social media platforms; Su Zhen had taken a few photo shoots and already had quite a number of fans, all expressing their sympathy.
The trending topics board was quickly dominated by the hashtag #PrayForZhenzhenFromSu’sFamily#.
By noon, Su Zhen was still being resuscitated in the operating room, but Su Nian, despite her grief, did not neglect Su Bao’s needs, and took him to the hospital cafeteria for lunch.
The central pillar of the cafeteria had a television screen, which was continuing to provide follow-up coverage on the morning’s incident.
Su Nian stopped eating and looked up at the news, seeking to understand the details of Su Zhen’s accident, and to see if Shen Hanxiu was in any way related to the incident...
The news anchor’s official tone announced, "It can be seen from the footage that both vehicles have suffered significant damage, but neither driver is in life-threatening danger. The red car is the vehicle that caused the accident, and the driver is suspected of driving under the influence and fleeing the scene after hitting the pedestrian. Let’s watch a video to review the sequence of the accident."
"The video shows the red BMW engaging in erratic driving."
Su Nian couldn’t help but have her eyes turn red again, looking at the small figure of Su Zhen being hit by a fast-moving car and flung onto the ground...
But as she continued to watch, she found it difficult even to breathe...
The video was slowed down, showing the black sedan quickly turning around in the slow-motion footage and accelerating towards the BMW, which then stopped the BMW from moving forward.
"The black vehicle, with its quick reaction and superb techniques, immediately prevented the BMW from causing secondary injuries to the little girl. Also, it’s evident that due to the timely response of the black sedan, the impact on the little girl by the BMW was significantly reduced..."
A loud noise rang in Su Nian’s head...
The broadcaster’s voice continued, and the restaurant was buzzing with discussions: "Third Young Master is so handsome, being able to react so wisely in such a moment, his driving skills are commendable!"
"Alas, I just wonder how that little girl is now, she has been in emergency care for five or six hours!"
"Third Young Master is indeed a good man, using his life to protect his daughter, that hit was so fierce, he must be severely injured!"
"Yes! I saw the Third Young Master this morning, he was covered in blood, I almost didn’t recognize him."
...
She realized she was horrendously wrong.
Thinking back to when he left, his head and shirt were covered in blood, he risked his life to protect Su Zhen, yet she said those words to him...
"Su Bao, you and little uncle eat here, Mom will step out for a moment."
As she stood up, she saw on the TV screen, from a red BMW, the car door opened, and a woman limping ran away...
The silhouette was familiar... like Xue Qi!
The pain in her heart grew clearer, this time truly for the man she had unjustly slapped.
Despite being misunderstood, despite the grievance, he disregarded his own injuries to see Su Zhen, yet she said those words to him, and he didn’t even defend himself...
Running out of the restaurant, she didn’t know where to find him.
He was injured, could he be in the hospital?
She asked at the front desk, but they said there were no hospital admission records for him.
Checking her pockets, she realized her phone and handbag were still in her car. She thought of going upstairs to borrow a phone from Su Yuecheng, looking at the elevator, it was a meal delivery time, and there were many people using the elevator.
Su Nian took the emergency stairs, from the restaurant to the operating room, a total of five floors, Su Nian in her high heels, twisted her ankle several times in her haste.
That man, she understood, he didn’t care about his own body, especially since she had just hurt his feelings...
The emergency staircase was rarely used, it was silent except for the sound of Su Nian’s urgent footsteps, the sound-controlled lights went off and then came on, and as she was about to reach the floor, Su Nian suddenly stopped...
Around the corner of the staircase, a man was resting against the corner sitting up, the blood on his body had already coagulated, his handsome features looked uncomfortable, his eyes closed, his brows furrowed...
"Shen Hanxiu!" Su Nian squatted down, placing her hand behind his neck, letting him lean on herself, his weak state once again made her teary-eyed, she was still afraid of losing him, that fear was apparent.
Shen Hanxiu slowly opened his eyes from his daze, leaning against no longer the cold wall, but a warm softness, and she was in his sight.
It must be a hallucination.
Su Nian tried to help him stand up, but found it very difficult, after thinking, she prepared to get up to call a doctor, but her wrist was grabbed.
His eyes were blurry and unreal: "Don’t go..."
Su Nian’s heart softened, she stepped back, pulling up one of his arms to rest on her shoulder, choking up as she spoke: "...I won’t leave."
Faintly, she heard a light laughter, elusive, filled with contentment.
Kicking off her high heels, she exerted herself to help him up, his tall frame nearly made it hard for her to breathe.
Su Nian held his hand with one hand and supported his waist with the other, dragging him outside, after taking a few steps, she heard his hoarse voice weakly asking: "Is it really you, Su Nian?"
Her guilt and sadness made her break down crying, her voice choking: "...I’m sorry."
He was put on a stretcher and taken to the examination room.
She thought he left when he turned around, but he was still in the hallway, ignoring his injuries, silently guarding them mother and son after being misunderstood.
Shen Hanxiu... how can you make me feel that I owe you...
In the afternoon, Su Bao and Ziyan accompanied Su Nian waiting in front of the operating room.
After wrapping up his work, Su Yuecheng came over, took a look inside the operating room and said, "There’s no life-threatening danger right now, they’re finishing up the stitches."
Su Nian couldn’t hide her relief in her eyes: "Is the injury severe?"
"There are multiple fractures..."
No life-threatening danger is good, but Su Zhen is delicate, afraid of pain, multiple fractures, not just children, adults can’t endure it...
What hatred does Xue Qi have against her to go so far? She’s also a mother.
Su Yuecheng soothed Su Nian, then turned to Ziyan and said, "You should rest too, your body hasn’t recovered well, it’s best to wear a coat, don’t expose your arms and legs and catch a cold."
Ziyan nodded, not sensing his unusual attentiveness and care, just thinking it was the doctor’s concern for a patient, besides she was Su Nian’s friend, thus Su Yuecheng was taking extra care of her.
In the deserted, jumbled alley, Xue Qi was curled up in a dark corner, pulling out her phone to make a call...
