"XIA SHA! KAI XIN! KAI XIN! SHE FALLS ON THE TOILET. NOW THERE IS BLOOD EVERYWHERE. WHAT TO DO?" Zheng Shuang's panicked voice filled Xia Sha's ear.
She furrowed her eyebrow and pressed her lips together into a hard line.
"Zheng Shuang, calm down. Inhale and Exhale. Where are you now? I'm in First people hospital right now. How is Kai Xin's condition? Can you drive her here?" Xia Sha tried to remain cold-headed in these precarious situations.
Zheng Shuang followed Xia Sha's instructions and calmed herself. She answers Xia Sha with a trembling voice, "We are staying at my apartment. She is unconscious right now. Ruan Jing Tian and Xiao Yu is on his way. What should I do?"
"Okay, Okay. Don't worry. I'll ask the doctor prepared first to help here. In five minutes, if Ruan Jing Tian or Xiao Yu hadn't arrived, could you calm down and drive?"
"I don't think I can," Zheng Shuang shook her head frantically.
"Okay, it's okay. I'll find-"
"Xiao Yu is here! Thank God!" Zheng Shuang shriek. She is on the verge of crying from the first time she heard Kai Xin's screams. She holds it for too long, and it finally breaks when she sees Xiao Yu.
"Please help Kai Xin and the baby," Zheng Shuang begs Xiao Yu while she sobbed. Xia Sha listens to them from the phone almost drops her tears too. She hangs the call after Kai Xin got into the car.
"Xia Xiang, I had some emergency. I'll have someone from the Xia Manor to fetch you here. Stay on the manor for tonight, okay? I'll talk to you tomorrow," Xia Sha said without looking at Xia Xiang. She had her eyes fixed on the phone and send a message to the driver at home.
"Wait, what happens?" Xia Xiang looks confused, but then she regrets ever asking. She remembers Xia Sha hates when anyone is meddling in her business.
"Kai Xin fall on the toilet. I need to tell her condition to the doctor so they could prepare when she arrived," Xia Sha subconsciously replied to Xia Xiang's question.
If Xia Sha is sober, she also would question herself. But she is not in her normal situation right now. Xia Sha runs to the Incentive Care Unit the moment Xia Xiang agreed with her arrangement.
Everything happens so suddenly that Xia Sha doesn't even remember about the ginger tea or Guan Xian. She stands next to Zheng Shuang and Xiao Yu. No one is talking, but they shared the same worried expression.
Xia Sha forced close her eyelids. She tried to surpass the fears and guilt that starts to eat her alive. She had a faint heartache in her heart, and she was almost running out of breath.
"Hah, hah, hah, how is Kai Xin?"
Ruan Jing Tian appears in front of them, bending with hands on his knee. He caught his breath and looked up to Xia Sha the very next second. Their eyes meet for a second before Xia Sha averted her gaze nervously.
"We don't know. The doctor hasn't come out," Zheng Shuang answer with a tingled nose.
Ruan Jing Tian looked at nod his head slightly.
"Zheng Shuang, are you sure it's a total accident. Do you find anything suspicious," Ruan Jing Tian's countenance turned queer as he slightly glances at Xiao Yu on Zheng Shuang's left.
Xiao Yu is well aware that Ruan Jing Tian had some suspicion of him. But since he did not do anything wrong this time, he ignores the glance and concentrates all of his energy on Zheng Shuang.
"I don't know, but the floor was already filled with blood when I saw her," Zheng Shuang answer hastily. She tried to recall the accident, but it just too terrifying that she turns to Xiao Yu for comfort.
"It's dry, and the floor use anti-slips. I think Kai Xin tripped on herself," Xiao Yu speculated while gently soothing Zheng Shuang on his side.
Xiao Yu's explanation makes sense and acceptable for him. But there is still burgeoning uneasiness remain on his face.
Xia Sha observed this for a long time. She furrowed her eyebrow as she directly probed the question on her mind.
"Do you know something?" Xia Sha asked carefully with a low tone. She did not avoid eye contact with Ruan Jing Tian this time. Instead, she rather looks expectant of his answer.
Xia Sha knew Ruan Jing Tian hates playing detective. He is never overly suspicious of someone for no reason. Xia Sha had high regard for Ruan Jing Tian's opinion and assumptions.
Ruan Jing Tian holds his breath and lets out a frustrated breath.
"Kai Xin's family met Yan Xi's family after that bastard said he wanted to take the responsibilities. Kai Xin's father is very obstinate with not letting Yan Xi marry Kai Xin. He was there to hear Yan Xi's apology only. But Yan Xi's mother talked to him and slightly changed his mind," Ruan Jing Tian said thoughtfully. He closed his eyes as fury, and possibly regrets, sweeps across his face.
"But then that bastard backed out after the Guan's family charity party. He changed his mind that night and asked Kai Xin to abort the baby. Kai Xin runs to me after the party. I tried to investigate these matters, but I could not find anything. Yan Xi suddenly stops fooling around and spends all of his time working. There is a missing link that connects every dots, but I could not find anything."
Xia Sha listen to Ruan Jing Tian's explanation carefully and had the same complicated feeling. Yan Xi's action contradicted his words. However, if he did ask Kai Xin to abort, it's reasonable for Ruan Jing Tian to question today's accident.
Kai Xin's haven't fast the first three semesters of her pregnancy. Xia Sha had consulted with the doctor before Kai Xin's arrived. The doctor said there are possibilities the baby could not survive, depends on how dire the situation was.
And Kai Xin's situations, most probably-
Xia Sha shook her head. She does not speculate when Kai Xin is trying hard to survive over the room.
"I understand, but let just pray for Kai Xin's and the baby first," Xia Sha walked to Ruan Jing Tian, pulling him to sit. He looks pale and exhausted after running for quite some time.
Everyone seems to agree with Xia Sha's words. The air becomes quiet once again. It was until Zheng Shuang looked at Xia Sha with a worried face.
"Xia Sha, when I call you, you've arrived at the hospital. Why are you here so late at night? Are you sick?"
Zheng Shuang's question followed with an intense gaze from Ruan Jing Tian. The sudden realization also reminds Xia Sha of Xiao Ni and Guan Xian at the ward. Her face turned blank as she tried to make up some excuses.
"I- I- I need to see the doctor because of constipation," she replied succinctly. Deep inside, she hated herself for choosing such lame excuses.
Constipation Xia Sha? Really?
"Ah, are you okay now?" Zheng Shuang seems to buy her lies.
Xia Sha nods her head that instant. She did not dare to look back at Ruan Jing Tian or glance at Xiao Yu, who seems to be more observant between them.
Xiao Yu's sharp glance also reminds her that she should not tell anyone about Xiao Ni right now. Especially to Xiao Yu that clearly shows his ambitions and goal.
"I'm alright-"
"Family from Ms.Kai Xin?"
A doctor suddenly comes out from the unit. He had his mask and gloves. Xia Sha could easily spot the bloodstain on his white coat. Suddenly the air sank into an unprecedented cold silence as they waited for the doctor to talk. It's so cold that Xia Sha finds it hard to breathe.
"Is anyone of you in Ms. Kai Xin's family?" the doctor asked while writing something on the writing board he holds.
"I'm her fiancee," Ruan Jing Tian steps out and follows the doctor who asked for his consent.
"I'm so sorry, but we cannot save your baby. The mother is still unconscious at the moment. There is a sign of infection and heavy bleeding. I advise for curette right now to remove the pregnant tissues," the doctor said politely and carefully.
Zheng Shuang gasped loudly. She turned her body to Xiao Yu and cry silently on his chest.
"My fault, it's my fault," she mumbles in between her sobbed, which makes Xiao Yu sad.
Ruan Jing Tian, who seems to went blank for a moment, looked at the paper in his hand. He turned to Xia Sha with a complex expression. There is unspeakable pain that ripped his heart into two.
Xia Sha stands there, freezing, as her soul has flown somewhere away. Her breathing started to fasten, but she still finds it hard to breathe. The hallow on her chest expanded when Ruan Jing Tian signed the paper.
Xia Sha tried to inhale and exhales a few more times. But then the acid on her stomach risen that she felt the urge to puke. Without caring about anyone, she runs fast to the toilet.
"HOEKKK!"
She emptied her stomach until she had no energy left to stand. Her legs had turned into jelly as she sat next to the toilet. Her whole body is trembling as flushed the toilet.
