Zhan Yangyi had been guarding the unconscious Chen Yutong.
He had to admit Wei Yumeng was right; he couldn't be defeated by something like this. He still needed to support the entire family and provide Chen Yutong with a pillar of strength.
He held Chen Yutong's hand, unwilling to let go for a moment, as if trying with all his might to warm her hands.
At this moment, he seemed to understand Zhan Mohan's feelings when he lost his child.
What was lost could never be regained, but those who remained must be cherished even more.
Wei Yumeng and the others were present, but they all remained silent, simply accompanying them.
Finally, Mu Linjing tentatively approached Zhan Mohan: "Brother, Yi Chen has something he wants to say to you."
Zhan Mohan nodded and walked directly out of the ward.
Wei Yumeng was puzzled, wondering what could be so important at this moment.
She could only look at Mu Linjing with a questioning gaze, but Mu Linjing simply shrugged.
Zhan Mohan had a feeling since arriving at the hospital that this matter was somehow related to Zhan Yichen.
This was why Zhan Yichen had not dared to enter the ward.
"What is it?" Zhan Mohan asked calmly.
"Brother, I've done something bad. I don't know how to face Big Brother," Zhan Yichen said, his face filled with anguish and distress.
"Is this related to you and Chen Yutong?" Zhan Mohan frowned.
However, he knew Zhan Yichen well enough to know he wasn't someone who would act without regard for consequences.
Even if this matter involved Zhan Yichen, it was likely unintentional, or perhaps he was simply overthinking it.
Zhan Yichen then recounted the events of the past two days to Zhan Mohan.
"Brother, Sister-in-law is in this state because she was stimulated. Big Brother being at the bar today was also something I told her. I deliberately concealed the identity of the person she met, just to test Sister-in-law's true feelings."
As Zhan Yichen spoke, he felt his actions were rather childish. There were so many ways to go about it, yet he chose the one most likely to cause trouble.
Zhan Mohan did not immediately pass judgment, instead saying, "Let's first understand the situation from the doctor before making any conclusions."
Zhan Yichen could only nod. Although he knew Zhan Mohan was on his side, he couldn't forgive himself.
When Wen Sen saw Zhan Mohan again, he felt a headache coming on. He didn't understand why someone from the Zhan family ended up in the hospital every few days.
Fortunately, he had already learned the situation from the attending physician, so he wasn't completely in the dark.
"What is Chen Yutong's specific condition?" Zhan Mohan asked directly.
Wen Sen could only say, "I don't know how much you've been informed, but based on what I know, this girl Chen is in this state because her emotional and mental state has been unstable lately, and she was stimulated."
"It really is because of me," Zhan Yichen said, lowering his head.
But Zhan Mohan continued to ask, "Is this situation due to a long-term accumulation, or a sudden shock?"
"It's naturally due to long-term psychological accumulation," Wen Sen explained. "Do you remember Miss Wei's situation back then? Her condition was somewhat similar to this, caused by being in an unstable environment for an extended period."
Zhan Mohan subtly glanced at Zhan Yichen, as if to tell him that this wasn't entirely his fault.
Wen Sen seemed to sense something and added, "It appears to be because of today's events, that she was stimulated and miscarried. In reality, today's incident was merely a trigger. Even if it hadn't happened today, it might have occurred in a different place or situation a couple of days later."
This brought Zhan Yichen a little comfort, but he still couldn't convince himself that it had nothing to do with him.
"How about this," Zhan Yichen said to Wen Sen, "All the expenses for Sister-in-law's hospitalization this time will be borne by me. Send me the bills."
Wen Sen had no objections, "That's perfectly fine."
Zhan Yichen sighed again. This was all he could do. Regardless of what Zhan Yangyi thought, he still planned to apologize to Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong.
Whatever they asked for at that time, if he could fulfill it, he would.
When the two returned to the ward, Chen Yutong had already woken up.
Her eyes were still somewhat dazed, clearly unaware of what had happened.
"How are you feeling?" Zhan Yangyi asked softly.
Chen Yutong shook her head. "Nothing much, just feeling a bit weak. Everything else seems fine."
As she spoke, she moved her arm, still feeling a slight numbness.
Chen Yutong looked at Zhan Yangyi and noticed how haggard he looked, as if he had just been through something major. But she was right here, wasn't she?
"Yangyi, why do you look so pale?" As soon as she spoke, she felt that something was amiss. She seemed to have forgotten something.
Thinking about it, she touched her stomach and instantly understood why Zhan Yangyi looked so distraught.
"Yangyi, where is our child?" She still couldn't quite believe it and needed to confirm it with Zhan Yangyi again.
Zhan Yangyi simply lowered his head and slowly shook it. That single action was enough to tell Chen Yutong what had happened.
"No, Yangyi, tell me you're lying, right? How could the baby be gone? The previous prenatal check-ups... the results were still normal, weren't they?"
Chen Yutong found it difficult to accept all of this. It had all happened too suddenly.
Zhan Yangyi gently took her hand. "Yutong, even though we've lost the baby, we'll have another chance in the future."
"But... but it's not the same, is it? This was my first child. I took such good care of them every day, so why did this happen?" Chen Yutong began to cry.
Zhan Yangyi could only pull her into his arms and comfort her softly. At times like these, he needed to make Chen Yutong feel his presence even more.
Everyone watched them, feeling a sense of unease.
After a while, Chen Yutong finally pulled away from Zhan Yangyi's embrace and looked at him seriously. "Can you tell me what caused me to lose the baby?"
Although this was a cruel topic for Chen Yutong now, she needed to know, so that if she had another child in the future, she wouldn't make the same mistake.
Zhan Yangyi then recounted what the doctor had told Chen Yutong.
At the same time, Zhan Yichen stepped forward and said to them, "Big Brother, Sister-in-law, I feel I need to apologize to you."
Hearing this, everyone except Zhan Mohan looked confused, unsure of what was happening.
