Chapter 2053: One After Another

“The bed is not small. Come up and sleep with me for a while.” Jiang Yao patted the empty space beside her. “Hug me for a while. I was scared to death today. When I fell to the ground, I felt a pain in my stomach. I wanted to cry.”

Her tone did not fluctuate much. It was calm, as if she was narrating a familiar story. However, the people who heard it felt their hearts churn non-stop.

That was the second time.

Lu Xingzhi realized that was the second time he had watched her get injured in front of him.

The bed was not very big. The two of them had filled up the entire bed. There was not a single gap left between them.

His distinct aroma filled the space between their breaths. Hugging him felt like leaning on a tall mountain, putting her at rest.

She seemed to want to say something to him, but as she leaned into his arms, she did not have the time to say anything before drowsiness started to sweep over her.

Jiang Yao woke up earlier than the doctors expected and went to bed faster, but Lu Xingzhi did not feel sleepy.

It was not until his phone suddenly rang that Lu Xingzhi snapped back to his senses. He was worried that his phone would disturb Jiang Yao, so he quickly picked up the call.

“Colonel, our troops seem to have been possessed today.”

The phone call was from Zhou Junmin. “It’s late at night, and three pregnant women had problems, one after another. They were all sent to the hospital.”

“One after another?”

Lu Xingzhi did not quite understand that term.

“Firstly, a sergeant’s wife, who had been married for less than half a year, went to the infirmary. She said that she had a severe stomachache. When the sergeant carried his wife to the infirmary, his wife’s pants were covered in blood. She said the pain had started intermittently after dinner, but they did not pay much attention to it until they saw the blood. Then, they felt something was wrong and went straight to the military doctor, who told them they had a miscarriage. He told them to go to the hospital immediately. They had left for about half an hour before Ovo more women went to the infirmary. One was six months pregnant, and one was about to give birth. After the check-up, they had signs of miscarriage. They were all sent to the hospital.”

“The army is taking this matter very seriously,” Zhou Junmin said. “Including your wife, four pregnant women had problems today.”

“One was an accident. Then, fivo or three experienced the same situation on the same day, so we couldn’t say they were accidents.” Lu Xingzhi lowered his eyes and looked at the person beside him. Sure enough, he saw that Jiang Yao had already opened her eyes. The ringtone must have woken her.

“Colonel, you’re in the hospital. Please check on the situation,” Zhao Junmin said. “By the way, how is your wife?”

“She’s fine.”

Lu Xingzhi instructed Zhou Junmin to help him keep an eye on the Ye family. Then, he hung up the phone and looked down at Jiang Yao. “Go to sleep. I’ll go and check on the situation.’

The people the army sent to the hospital should be arriving soon.

Jiang Yao nodded. She was very sleepy. Not long after Lu Xingzhi left, she quickly fell asleep again.

Lu Xingzhi asked the nurse on duty to find his comrade, who had just arrived at the hospital for more than ten minutes. His newly married wife had a miscarriage. The soldier stood there with bloodied hands and stared blankly at his wife, who was being pushed into the emergency room.

“What did the doctor say?” Lu Xingzhi walked over and patted the man on the shoulder..
