Chapter 1266: He Had Called on Them!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Mo Kun’s eyes narrowed and a ray of light flashed past his eyes.

Exactly!

So what if he was the one who had been poisoning and controlling the stupid old man all these years?

All that the members of the Mo Family had seen were Mo Yongheng’s “efforts”.

Mo Yongheng was the one who had kept close to the elderly head all the time and had taken care of him.

If the elderly head had been poisoned, he wouldn’t be the one under the greatest suspicion anyway.

What was he afraid of?

Mo Yongheng’s whereabouts had become stranger and stranger these days, as he often operated alone without him knowing. It didn’t matter whether he was in collusion with Nian Xiaomu. There was no need for him to keep such a disloyal person, whom he could not fully control, at this crucial moment.

It just happened that he could make use of Qi Yan and get rid of a snake in the grass!

“I’ll leave this matter to you and you must handle it properly. If there are any more mistakes…” Mo Kun did not finish his sentence, but the hint of warning behind his words was very obvious.

Du Li nodded his head and respectfully retreated from the study.

In the hospital.

Tan Bengbeng wasn’t sure how long she had been in a coma; she felt extremely lightheaded, with her limbs so heavy that it seemed as if they had been injected with lead.

They were so heavy that she was unable to lift them up.

In her state of grogginess, she seemed to hear someone speaking beside her.

A soft voice was calling her Mummy. However, that voice disappeared even before she could reply.

The distance between them drew apart…

She tried her utmost best to open her eyes to see what did the child looked like, but she failed to do so.

Tan Bengbeng opened her eyes with a whoosh.

All she saw was a clean, white ceiling, as well as a sea of white around her.

As the tip of her nose detected the familiar smell of disinfectants, she realized immediately that she was in a hospital.

She was so anxious that the moment she reached out to feel her tummy, she tugged onto the intravenous tube stuck on the back of her hand. As the needle poked through the vein, she blinked her eyes from the sharp pain.

Then, a huge hand swooped in and held her arm down.

“Don’t move!”

Qi Yan knitted his eyebrows when he saw the blood on the back of her hand.

He noticed that the needle had been dislodged and pulled out some cotton swabs to hold it down.

As he was busy treating the bloodstains on her hand, he did not notice that Tan Bengbeng was staring at him blankly whilst lying on the bed.

The next second, she lifted her free hand and tried to touch her tummy…

“Is the baby… Still here?”

Qi Yan had just thrown the blood-stained cotton swab into the waste bin when he lifted his head and heard her hoarse voice.

She enunciated every word clearly and asked carefully.

She stared at him with a gaze full of hope.

As Qi Yan could not bring himself to answer this question while staring into her eyes, he lifted his gaze and stared out of the window.

He replied with a deep voice, “Even though the superficial wounds on your body are not serious, it will still take some time for them to heal. Don’t think of anything else for the time being and have a proper rest…”

“Qi Yan.”

All of a sudden, Tan Bengbeng interrupted him softly.

She had already shifted her gaze away and she stared at the ceiling.

With a faintly discernible voice, as if it was sounded from somewhere far away, she asked, “The baby is gone, right?”

Tears had already begun to roll down from the corner of Tan Bengbeng’s eyes the moment she spoke.

She could feel it and did not need an answer. However, she still harbored a tinge of hope for a miracle to happen.

She tilted her body away slightly and shut her eyes.

She appeared like an injured little animal who was unwilling to show others her wounds and only wanted to heal herself by silently hiding away.

“…”

Qi Yan’s gaze darkened and his heart felt so heavy that he couldn’t breathe.

Just as he was about to reach out to hug her, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Mo Yongheng’s neat and clean figure appeared at the door.
