Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Panic-Stricken_1
Aunt Li reminded him in a panicked voice, snapping Ruan Tianling out of his daze as he instantly scooped her up in his arms and dashed outside.
He put Jian Yufei on the passenger seat, climbed into the driver’s seat, and fumbled to start the car.
“It’s okay, don’t be scared, we’ll be at the hospital soon. You and the child will be fine!”
Ruan Tianling gripped the steering wheel tightly, driving the car steadily, daring not to speed. The more critical the moment, the calmer he had to be.
However, his voice trembled slightly, betraying his panic.
Jian Yufei endured the cramping pain that constantly echoed from her stomach, her heart already plunging into a cold abyss.
Clutching the seat in agony, a vivid scene from the past replicated in her mind.
It was the same then. She sat in this seat, enduring the extreme pain of a miscarriage, ultimately resulting in double tragedy.
Fear seized at Jian Yufei’s heart, a fear more intense than the prospect of death itself.
“Don’t be scared, everything will be fine, trust me,” Ruan Tianling reached out and held her hand tightly, attempting to reassure both her and himself.
Beading sweat covered Jian Yufei. She clenched her teeth, stealing a sideways glance at him.
Ruan Tianling’s eyes, like unblinking black gemstones, were riveted to the road ahead. His normally bronze skin looked deathly pale. Fear and anxiety were evident in his eyes, his lips a tight, thin line.
Jian Yufei had never seen him so utterly discomposed.
He was typically calm and collected; nothing ever seemed to leave him flustered.
But now, he seemed to have lost his wits.
Jian Yufei weakly clasped his hand and made a soft plea, “Save the child…and I will remarry you…”
Ruan Tianling stiffened. Everything fell into a suffocating silence, as if time had stopped.
The car screeched to a halt by the hospital entrance, and Ruan Tianling sprinted inside, carrying Jian Yufei in his arms.
“Where’s the doctor? Hurry up and get him out, all of you come out now!”
Running through the hospital with her in his arms and yelling for assistance, doctors he remotely recognized quickly approached with a stretcher and rushed Jian Yufei to the emergency room.
Ruan Tianling followed all the way to the door, intending to enter with them, but was stopped by a doctor, “Mr. Ruan, you can’t go in! Rest assured, we will do our best to save the patient!”
Ruan Tianling’s black eyes glinted with a menacing darkness as he grabbed the doctor by the collar.
“Not your best, your everything! Don’t waste my time talking. Get in there now!”
The doctor was hurled into the operating room. The door was promptly shut, and the emergency room lights lit up.
Ruan Tianling stood at the door, motionless for a long moment before finally moving.
He leaned against the wall, raising his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, only to find it smeared with blood. Startled, he glanced down to find his clothes and trousers stained with fresh blood.
Ruan Tianling felt a buzzing in his head, momentarily stupefied.
“Master, how is Miss Jian?” Aunt Li asked, rushing over at this moment.
But the sight of the blood on him shocked her into silence, moistening her eyes immediately.
In such a situation, it was evident that the child couldn’t be saved.
Aunt Li was too terrified to breathe, lowering her head to wipe away her silent tears.
Ruan Tianling’s eyes slightly drooped as he recalled Jian Yufei’s words in the car.
