My husband disappeared after a flash marriage, but I am pregnant with his child

Chapter 158: Quarrel in the Ward

"The police asked me to come over. They said they found information about the kidnapper." Huo Yan's voice was muffled, with a strong sense of reluctance.

His eyes stayed on Qiao Qin all the time, as if he wanted to imprint her appearance deeply in his mind. He really didn't want to leave here, leave Qiao Qin's side, even for a moment. But he also understood that as long as the kidnappers were not caught, the people he cherished might be in danger again.

Huo Yan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.

His chest rose and fell violently, as if he was fighting a difficult battle. He hugged Qiao Qin reluctantly, feeling her body temperature and breath, as if he wanted to imprint all of this deeply in his heart.

That brief embrace was full of attachment and reluctance. Then, he turned around and strode out of the ward.

As the ward door slowly closed with a slight "click" sound, Qiao Qin withdrew her gaze. A hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

As she walked to the bed, she heard a slight cough.

Lin Xingran didn't know when she woke up. She slowly opened her eyes. Her originally clear and bright eyes now looked a little dull. Her dry lips trembled slightly, and she uttered a weak voice: "Water..."

Qiao Qin immediately handed the water over and carefully supported Lin Xingran so that she could drink the water more easily.

Lin Xingran drank in big gulps, like a traveler who had been thirsty in the desert for a long time. Water flowed down the corners of her mouth and dripped onto her collar, but she was completely unaware.

After a while, she finally caught her breath and looked at her belly nervously, her eyes full of worry and concern.

"Don't worry, the child is fine." Qiao Qin saw through her thoughts at a glance and immediately spoke to comfort her. Her voice was gentle and firm, as if it gave Lin Xingran a reassurance.

Hearing this, Lin Xingran's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. She leaned softly against the pillow, with a tired smile on her face.

Qiao Qin frowned slightly and said disapprovingly: "But you are really too reckless this time. You went to Wuxia Wharf to meet your friends alone. What if something happens? What about the child? What about Bo Zhili? What about me?"

There was blame in her tone, but more of it was deep worry and concern, as if she was recalling the thrilling scene at that time.

Lin Xingran lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong, and listened obediently to Qiao Qin's scolding.

Her fingers tightly grasped the bed sheet, and after a moment, she slowly spoke: "Sorry, Xiaoqin, I won't do it again in the future."

There was a hint of regret and guilt in Lin Xingran's voice.

Qiao Qin sighed. She said some harsh words because she cared too much.

After calming down, Qiao Qin gently stroked the strands of hair on the side of Lin Xingran's face, gently tucked them behind her ears, and then said, "Forget it, I'm glad you're okay." Her voice was full of helplessness and relief.

"Yeah." A touch of emotion flashed in Lin Xingran's eyes. However, at this moment, the words that the mysterious man had said flashed through her mind unconsciously.

"Huo Yan is not actually your brother."

"There's actually another story behind your parents' affairs. Otherwise, how do you explain why he was the only one who survived eighteen years ago?"

"Everything Huo Yan has was originally left to you by your parents. Are you willing to accept it?"

......

Those words were like the devil's whispers, echoing in her mind, corroding her heart and causing her to fall into deep entanglement and confusion.

"Xiao Ran? Xiao Ran? What are you daydreaming about?" Qiao Qin's concerned voice rang in her ears. Lin Xingran suddenly came back to her senses and saw the nervous expression on Qiao Qin's face. Her heart couldn't help but warm.

"I'm fine, but you..." Lin Xingran frowned. She remembered the scene she saw when she woke up. She wanted to say something but stopped herself. Finally, she couldn't help but asked, "You and Huo Yan have reconciled?"

She asked cautiously, her eyes full of worry and confusion.

But saw——

Qiao Qin neither denied nor admitted it, but raised her head and looked into the distance, her eyes seemed to contain endless thoughts.

She murmured, "I don't know either." There was a hint of confusion and uncertainty in her voice.

Lin Xingran frowned even more tightly, and couldn't help but raise her voice and said, "Are you crazy? He is Huo Shiyan, do you still remember how he played you in the first place?"

There was anger and confusion in Lin Xingran's voice, and the excitement made her body tremble slightly.

"I didn't forget!"

Qiao Qin said immediately, she lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, hiding the pain and entanglement in her eyes.

Her voice was low and suppressed, and she continued, "I have never forgotten it for a moment. It's just that after going through a life-and-death crisis this time, I suddenly thought more open-mindedly. Why bother with the past and the future? Isn't it better to enjoy the present?"

Qiao Qin's voice was clear and firm, and every word she spoke was like a heavy hammer, echoing in the ward.

Lin Xingran opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say anything in rebuttal.

She wanted to tell Qiao Qin what the mysterious man said, and wanted to tell her that Huo Yan was not that simple, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to open her mouth. Those secrets were like heavy stones, pressing on her heart, making her feel extremely heavy and depressed.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the ward became very subtle.

The two of them were in a stalemate, neither of them was willing to give in, and the relationship between them suddenly became cold. The air seemed to freeze, making it difficult to breathe.

Qiao Qin took a deep breath, tried to suppress the irritability in her heart, and then slowly said: "Don't think too much, have a good rest, I'll go back to the studio first."

Before I knew it, it was already daybreak. The warm sunlight poured into the ward through the window, but it could not dispel the tension and depression that permeated the air.

Qiao Qin hurriedly left the hospital and rushed to her studio. At this time, the studio had just started, and it was the busiest time of work, and many things needed her to do personally.

"Sister Qiao, are you okay?" Jia Lulu saw Qiao Qin rushing to the studio exhausted, with dark circles under her eyes and looking very tired. She couldn't help but ask with concern.

Qiao Qin shook her head. After a sleepless night and being extremely nervous, her condition was certainly not much better. Her delicate face looked a little haggard at the moment, with dark circles under her eyes being particularly obvious. It was just that her busy work did not leave her any time to rest.

"It's okay. Go make me a cup of coffee." As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly threw herself into her busy work, as if only busy work could make her temporarily forget those worries and entanglements.

The computer screen was filled with files and data, and Qiao Qin's eyes were focused and determined. Her fingers were typing quickly on the keyboard, making crisp sounds. The cup of steaming coffee was placed aside, gradually losing its temperature, but she had no time to care.

Time passed by, and the sunlight outside the window gradually became stronger, shining on Qiao Qin's body, casting a long shadow. But she was still immersed in her work, as if she had forgotten everything around her.

until.

A pleasant telephone ring broke the silence.
