Chapter 237 The children are fine, they didn't die

    

g figure and called out to him, "Are you really going to ignore Qiao Bao'er and return to the city by yourself"Jun Zhimu has never been patient with women. When something like this happened, he would..."This... these two porcelain urns are the child's ashes"

Zhu Xiaowei stared blankly at the two black ceramic urns on the shelf, unable to react for a long time.

He turned his head with difficulty towards Gu Ruyue, forcing a weak smile. “Aunt Gu, you can't joke about this kind of thing. I know you don't seem to like the Jun family very much, but after all, children are innocent and shouldn't be cursed like this…”

Gu Ruoyan's face was heavy, she just shook her head and didn't speak.

Zhu Xiao Wei saw her expression, her heart clenched tight. She rushed forward and grabbed her wrist, "How could this be! Qiao Bao Er's twins were always healthy during their checkups!!"

"Aunt Gu, you, you really shouldn't joke with me like this." Looking at Gu Ruyue's heavy expression now, she had guessed a few things, her voice choked with sobs.

"Why is this happening... Where is Junzhi Mu What about his family!"

Zhu Xiaowei's heart was filled with anger, and she roared angrily. She felt like she was about to explode. How could such a good little life suddenly disappear!

"I told you, the Jun family is untrustworthy. Bao'er has been missing for so many days now, and with their influence in the city, they should have known about it by now! Yet, not a single person from their side has come to check on us!"

Gu Ruyue mentioned the Jun family, her tone laced with resentment. As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel guilty herself, her voice trembling, "Bao'er had an accident. She didn't have anyone around her those days before, it was just her alone... I only found out yesterday at noon when I received a call from the traffic police."

Zhu Xiaowei listened, her eyes reddening slightly. "Which ward is she in now I'll go see her."

She's been busy interviewing for jobs lately, hoping to land something before Qiao Baoer gives birth so she can settle into a stable job. That way, when her godson has his full moon banquet, she can be generous and spend more money on gifts for the little guy. But now things have taken a sudden turn.

Gu Ruoyan picked up a delicate and sturdy bag and carefully put away the two urns of ashes. She took the elevator to the 7th floor of the hospital with her.

The two walked side by side, their steps heavy, their hearts troubled.

As they approached the intensive care unit, Gu Ruyue suddenly stopped her and whispered, "Xiao Zhu, you go in and keep her company. Bao'er is very unstable right now. The doctor said that in a few days, when her physical injuries heal, she will be transferred to the psychiatric ward for a check-up."

"Speaking of which, Gu Ruyue couldn't help but tightly hug the two urns of ashes in her arms. “Please don’t mention anything about children to her, I’m afraid she wouldn’t be able to bear it…”

"I understand," Zhu Xiaowei replied softly.

Although Qiao Bao'er has always been carefree and not like a gentle and virtuous mother, as blood relatives, she really looks forward to the child's birth. She even said before that if the Jun family no longer wanted the children, she could raise them herself.

Zhu Xiaowei walked in softly, the ward was very quiet, so quiet that even the ticking of the clock could be heard clearly. She walked to the bedside. As always perceptive, she saw Qiao Bao'er's lost and heartbroken appearance, and tears welled up in her eyes, sliding down her cheeks and hitting the floor with a *tap tap tap* sound.

She felt very sorry for Qiao Bao'er's situation. They had known each other for many years, and she knew very well that no matter what happened to Qiao Bao'er, she would never allow herself to be weak. She always tried her best, and she was already very strong.

"Joe Bao'er, you have to be strong. Didn't you say you don't like to worry people ... Whatever happens, it will pass. Don't overthink things now."

Zhu Xiaowei speaks with a heavy nasal sound. She can't help but cry, there's no way she's really timid and cries easily. Many times, Qiao Baier can hold back, but she can't.

Now besides telling her to be strong, she doesn't know how to help her, she can't help.

Qiao Bao'er was wide awake; she dared not sleep. Her face held no expression, like a lifeless wooden puppet, her vacant eyes fixed on the ceiling all day and all night. She ignored anyone who spoke to her.

Zhu Xiaowei sniffed and pulled up a chair to sit beside the bed. She no longer dared to cry out loud, so she just sat there quietly, keeping her company.

Not long after, a doctor came to check on Qiao Bao'er's condition. Zhu Xiaowei wasn't very familiar with Qiao Bao'er's current health status, but this Dr. An who came seemed particularly concerned about Qiao Bao'er and gave her some advice. Zhu Xiaowei knew that they were relying on others in the hospital, and seeing how kind the doctor was, she was moved and repeatedly thanked him.

Occasionally, a nurse would come to change the IV fluid. Because Qiao Bao'er had been attacked in the ward last time, Zhu Xiaowei was especially careful this time to make sure she saw clearly what kind of IV fluid it was before letting the nurse change it. The nurse had a good temper and answered all questions. She didn't seem as snobbish as Gu Ruyue described the head nurse to be.

Until 7 o'clock in the evening, Zhu Xiaowei finally felt her stomach growling. She had rushed over after receiving a call from Gu Ruyue in the morning and hadn't had the appetite for breakfast or lunch.

" Qiao Bao'er, the doctor said you can eat some liquid food now. I'll order some porridge for you"

The person on the bed still ignored her. Zhu Xiaowei knew she had been relying on intravenous nutrition these days, but eating something would be better for her. After thinking about it, regardless of whether she ate or not, she decided to buy an extra portion.

She had food delivered straight to her door using her phone. Zhu Xiaowei would rather starve herself than leave his side now, not even for a moment.

Although Zhu Xiao Wei doesn't have any special skills and her academic performance and appearance are only average, her sincerity towards people is genuine. She wants to be good to you, that's all.

"Xiao Zhu, tell me, did I kill them"

The woman on the bed suddenly spoke, her voice hoarse, each word choked out with a sob. Though it was a question, her tone was firm and mournful, deeply filled with remorse. She wanted to condemn herself, it was all her fault, she insisted, every single one of it.

It's all because of me...

Because of me, because I drove fast on a rainy day in violation of regulations.

It's my fault, it's all my fault...

"Little Zhu, I killed my son, I killed them all!" She scrambled anxiously off the bed, grabbing onto Zhu Xiaowei by the bedside, her expression dazed and lost. She spoke excitedly, shouting.

She screamed silently, constantly blaming herself. Her heart was still aching, she didn't know what to do, she didn't know what to do…

She can be strong, she can fight hard... But if she's dead, dead, how can she try, what can she do...

Zhu Xiaowei seeing her like this, also felt heartbroken and cried out. For a moment, she didn't know how to comfort her. Qiao Baier's mind was really chaotic and abnormal, resembling severe depression, sinking into negativity and despair, unable to get out.

"The child is not dead."

A figure strode in hurriedly, and Zhu Xiaowei didn't react before being pushed aside. When she came to her senses and saw clearly, she was startled, finding the slender and aloof back somewhat familiar.

"The children are fine, they're not dead... You just need to push a little harder and you'll see them. You need to rest now."

This voice, so clear and refreshing, is low and soft like water.

His voice was hypnotic, Zhu Xiaowei looked on in astonishment as Qiao Baier closed her eyes and truly fell asleep.

He was slender and tall, bending over the bedside to gently pull up the covers for her. His azure eyes gazed at her pale and haggard face for a long moment before he suddenly straightened up and walked out without a word.

Zhu Xiaowei glanced at Qiao Baier, who had already fallen asleep, and then looked at the cold and aloof figure. He quickly chased after him.

"Tang Yu!" she hastily called out to his retreating figure.

Zhu Xiaowei wasn't familiar with this man, but his words just now made her very excited. Regardless of whether they were familiar or not, she grabbed his arm and stopped him from leaving. "Did you just say that the child didn't die Is that true"

Tang Yu disliked being touched by others. He stopped in his tracks, turned around, and a coldness flashed in his blue eyes.

He didn't speak, and Zhu Xiaowei also knew she had offended him. She let go of him and suddenly stammered, "That, that you just said the child... didn't die..."

"I don't know."

He just said those three words.w was pitch black. The woman beside him opened her eyes at the same moment."You're finally awake," Joe Baoer mumbled as she stirred."Have I slept for a long time"Junzhi's voice was a little hoarse. He...
