Time ticked by, and Wei Yumeng felt a growing unease. After all, what Zhan Yichen had said suggested the matter was far from trivial.
Wei Yumeng considered calling Zhan Mohan to inquire about the situation. Just as she was about to dial his number, Zhan Mohan’s phone began to ring within the room. It then occurred to Wei Yumeng that she had taken his phone earlier and hadn't had a chance to return it. Zhan Mohan, in his haste, had also forgotten.
"This is all my fault," Wei Yumeng clutched the phone, believing that if she hadn't grabbed Zhan Mohan's phone, he wouldn't have forgotten it. As she pondered whether to deliver the phone to Zhan Corporation, Zhan Mohan's phone rang again.
Wei Yumeng saw a number on the screen that wasn't saved in her contacts. Nevertheless, she answered, "Hello? Who is this?"
"Hello, am I speaking to Mr. Zhan's family member?" The voice on the other end sounded surprised that Wei Yumeng had answered. "It's like this, this is the Central Hospital. Old Master Zhan is undergoing treatment here. Just now, his condition took a turn for the worse, and with no family members present, I decided to notify you."
Upon hearing this news, Wei Yumeng's heart sank. Zhan Mohan had never mentioned that Old Master Zhan was hospitalized. Now, recalling Zhan Mohan's busy schedule and early departures, she suspected he might have been visiting Old Master Zhan. Wei Yumeng's mind was in a whirl. Why hadn't Zhan Mohan told her something so important?
The voice continued, "If you have time, I hope you can come over. Old Master Zhan's condition is not optimistic, and you should be prepared."
Wei Yumeng didn't hesitate, "Alright, I'll be there immediately."
Wei Yumeng hung up the phone and, ignoring the butler's and servants' pleas, headed for the Central Hospital. The butler, unable to stop her, could only watch her leave.
Twenty minutes later, Wei Yumeng arrived at the hospital, anxiously searching for the ward due to her concern for Old Master Zhan.
"Excuse me, which ward is Old Master Zhan in?" she asked, feeling a sudden wave of dizziness, which she pushed aside with effort.
"Ward 1607."
"Thank you," Wei Yumeng hurried towards the ward. Just then, an emergency team rushed past...
"Make way!" The leading doctor was drenched in sweat, as every second counted in matters of life and death. But at that moment, Wei Yumeng was overcome with dizziness and couldn't dodge in time. She was accidentally knocked down by the emergency team.
A sharp pain shot through her abdomen, jolting her. "Baby..." Her first instinct was to touch her stomach. The nearby doctors noticed Wei Yumeng's condition and rushed over.
"Madam, are you alright?" A doctor looked at Wei Yumeng and then said to a nurse, "Quickly bring the stretcher!"
Though Wei Yumeng could see the bustling activity, her body wouldn't move, and her abdomen throbbed with pain. She could even feel a warmth flowing from within her. "Baby..." She clearly understood what had happened but was powerless to do anything...
Zhan Mohan finally managed to deal with the troublesome business partner. He didn't bother with any instructions for Zhan Yichen, as his sole desire was to return to Wei Yumeng's side as soon as possible. For some reason, an inexplicable sense of unease had been plaguing him since earlier.
"Brother!" As he reached the company entrance, Zhan Yichen caught up with him. His face was pale, clearly having encountered something serious. "Brother, the hospital just called me... they said... they said..." Zhan Yichen hesitated, unsure how Zhan Mohan would react to the news.
"Say it," Zhan Mohan urged impatiently.
"They said that Sister-in-law went to the hospital and was bumped into... the child... the child is gone." Zhan Yichen's voice trembled as he spoke.
"What?" Zhan Mohan found it hard to believe. Wasn't Wei Yumeng supposed to be at home? Why would she suddenly go to the hospital, and then get bumped into? He couldn't wait another moment and immediately drove to the Central Hospital.
"Mr. Zhan, I am truly sorry. I... I didn't know Madam was pregnant, I..." The nurse looked on the verge of tears due to Zhan Mohan's expression. "Old Master Zhan's condition was critical at the time, and with no one else available, I had to call you. I didn't expect Madam to answer."
Zhan Mohan finally understood. Upon learning of Old Master Zhan's condition, Wei Yumeng would naturally come to the hospital. Vincent also rushed over upon hearing the news, "Alright, who was it that knocked her down?"
"Security is already investigating," the nurse replied, tears streaming down her face.
Zhan Mohan suppressed his rage, unable to blame the nurse in front of him. If he hadn't carelessly forgotten his phone, Wei Yumeng wouldn't have received the call, and perhaps none of this would have happened.
Zhan Yang and others arrived a while later. "Yumeng, how is Yumeng now?" Mu Linjing asked anxiously.
Zhan Yangyi said, "Yu Tong and I will go check on Grandfather. We'll leave this to you all." With that, he and Chen Yu Tong headed to the oncology department.
"Brother..." Zhan Yichen felt a pang of sorrow. He desperately wanted to know about Old Master Zhan's condition, but he also knew that if someone didn't keep an eye on Zhan Mohan, he might do something unpredictable.
Zhan Mohan remained silent, his expression dark and chilling. Finally, a doctor emerged from the ward, "The patient has woken up. You can go in to see her." The doctor sighed, "You need to comfort her well."
Mu Linjing rushed into the room first, followed by Zhan Yichen and Zhan Mohan. "Yumeng, Yumeng, how are you?" Mu Linjing tightly grasped Wei Yumeng's hand, her eyes welling up with tears.
Wei Yumeng was already sobbing uncontrollably, "The baby... our baby is gone... it's all my fault... it's all me..."
"Yumeng, don't think like that. This isn't your fault. We will find the person who knocked you down," Mu Linjing said, her heart aching for Wei Yumeng.
Zhan Yichen managed to gently pull Mu Linjing aside, realizing that at this moment, the person Wei Yumeng truly needed was Zhan Mohan.
"Mohan..." Wei Yumeng lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhan Mohan. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry for not listening to you... I'm sorry..."
