181 Losing a Child

When Pei Xianglong arrived at the hospital, Pei Shiyu had not yet come out. I don't know how Lao Wang explained it to him, but he didn't blame me.

He just asked calmly, "Is Shiyu alright?"

He was looking at me when he asked. To calm his emotions, I pretended to be calm and replied, "The doctor said that only the child couldn't be saved, but she should be fine."

Perhaps because everyone was present, Pei Xianglong didn't say a word of blame to me. He immediately walked to the front of the operating room, anxiously peering inside. Just as we were waiting anxiously, Lin Hai suddenly appeared in front of us again. This time, he didn't cause trouble, but went directly to Pei Xianglong and said, "President Pei, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"What do you mean?" Pei Xianglong asked with a surprised expression.

"We had a few arguments just now. When Shiyu came over, I didn't realize it was her. I just wanted to push away the person in front of me."

Lin Hai's explanation not only caused trouble for himself, but also embarrassed us. Pei Xianglong didn't know what had happened. Obviously, Lao Wang hadn't said who was responsible. Now that things had come to this, as long as Pei Shiyu was okay, I felt that I could take the blame. But with his explanation, things became even more complicated, and Pei Xianglong's impression of Lin Hai had already changed.

"Lin Che, what's going on? You explain," Pei Xianglong said, clearly a little angry.

I didn't explain immediately, but glanced at him with some embarrassment, feeling that silence was the best choice in the current situation. Such a complicated family relationship would only make others feel disgusted. Fortunately, there was a sound from the operating room door. I went to the doctor as soon as possible and asked, "How is she?"

"The child has been removed, the patient is fine, she just needs to rest for a few days." The answer was very simple.

Then, I saw Pei Shiyu being pushed out. She looked particularly weak. I went forward and gently touched her face and said, "I'm sorry!"

Pei Xianglong was also standing next to me, saying with even more concern, "Shiyu, it's okay, it's just a minor surgery. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Pei Shiyu didn't speak. I couldn't guess whether she would be sad about losing the child, because she had been saying that she didn't want the child. Now she should have gotten her wish, but she would definitely be sad emotionally. This was just my current guess.

Before entering the ward, I said to them, "Why don't you go back first and let Pei Shiyu rest?"

"That's fine. We're all responsible for what happened today," Lao Wang said.

"Uncle Wang, it has nothing to do with you. The biggest responsibility lies with me. I didn't take good care of Pei Shiyu."

After speaking, I looked at Lin Hai and said, "You should go back too."

In front of so many people, I wanted to save Lin Hai some face. Besides, with Pei Xianglong present, arguing would not be good for anyone. Then I walked to You Xiang and Wang Xin and said apologetically, "You Xiang, I'm sorry. Today was supposed to be a happy occasion, but it turned out like this and made you worry. You explain to Wang Xin. We'll get together another day."

"Brother, don't say that. You're the one who should be sad. We can't help with what happened. There are too many people in the hospital anyway. We'll go back first and let Sister get some rest."

"Okay, then you go back first. Mom, Uncle Wang, let's go together."

At this time, Wang Rui pulled my mother over and said, "Mom, let's go back. It's more appropriate for Lin Che to take care of her."

"Such a big thing happened, how can I feel at ease going back? Why don't you go back first? I'll stay a little longer."

"That's fine, then we're leaving."

Before leaving, Lao Wang greeted Pei Xianglong again, and then left the hospital with them. I looked at their backs, feeling quite melancholy. It was supposed to be a happy occasion, but because of Lin Hai's sudden intervention, it turned into a mess.

I turned around and deliberately looked for Lin Hai's figure. I didn't see him, so he probably left too. I breathed a sigh of relief this time, at least the family's conflicts didn't have to be exposed in front of Pei Xianglong.

When I entered the ward, Pei Shiyu was already lying on the bed. Pei Xianglong was sitting on the head of the bed, saying comforting words. My mother was also standing in front, with a complicated expression, as if she wanted to apologize. Seeing me come in, she immediately said to me, "Lin Che, why don't you find someone to take care of her?"

"No need to bother, I can take good care of her."

"Everyone was very happy today, but I didn't expect an accident to happen." My mother said, looking at Pei Shiyu.

"Now that it's happened, let's not blame each other. There will be more children in the future, as long as we take care of our health," Pei Xianglong replied understandingly.

"If you're busy, you can go back first. I'll take care of Shiyu these few days," my mother said to Pei Xianglong with guilt, seemingly wanting to make up for her mistake just now.

At this moment, the ward finally became quiet. The thermos on the cabinet, with the chicken soup inside, hadn't been touched. Suddenly, I heard Pei Xianglong say, "Lin Che, what happened today? Tell me in detail."

I glanced at Pei Shiyu, not knowing where to start, and not wanting to put the blame on anyone. At this time, my mother walked to my side and explained for me, "My youngest son just returned from Germany yesterday. Hearing that Shiyu was hospitalized, we came to visit today. Coincidentally, Lin Che's father also came, and there was a bit of a dispute. Shiyu kindly wanted to persuade Lin Hai, but she was pushed to the ground."

My mother's words were very brief, and she also concealed the scene of Lin Hai pushing someone. As soon as she finished speaking, I heard Pei Shiyu say in a very soft voice, "Dad, don't pursue this matter. Everyone came to see me with good intentions. I just didn't stand firm, it has nothing to do with them."

"Lin Che, are you even a man? You can't even manage your family relationships well. How will you socialize in the business world in the future? If you want to be with Shiyu, everyone has to be harmonious. Fortunately, Shiyu is okay today. If you don't fix the relationship, there's no guarantee that the same thing won't happen again in the future. No matter how your father treated you before, he just lost his son, and you, as his only child, should appease his emotions. This is the most basic filial piety of being a son."

Pei Xianglong's reasonable words left me speechless. He didn't blame me for Pei Shiyu's injury, but spoke from Lin Hai's point of view, which was enough to prove that their father and daughter had a very positive outlook. The words they spoke were the same, and the purpose was just to make me and Lin Hai get along harmoniously.

The door of the ward was not closed. I saw a shadow flash outside. I quickly looked out. It was Lin Hai. I think he should have heard what I said just now. After what happened today, he seemed a little sneaky. I guess he was afraid that I would get angry, after all, his actions had murdered a small life.
