Five years without pregnancy means you're too weak; I remarried a powerful man and had triplets

Su Manman's voice was as weak as smoke blown away by the wind.

She clutched her stomach, her face turning deathly pale in an instant, beads of cold sweat forming on her forehead, before collapsing to the ground.

"Manman!"

Zhang Feng was the first to react, her screams nearly lifting the roof off: "A-Zhe! Come quick, come see Manman! She's bleeding! She's bleeding!"

Xu Zhesheng turned around abruptly and saw the bloodstains spreading on Su Manman's skirt; his pupils contracted sharply.

He strode over, scooped Su Manman up in his arms, and moved with the speed of a rehearsal.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital."

His voice was low and urgent, carrying a panic that Shen Zhiyi had never heard before.

He was socializing the day she suffered a perforated appendix.

She called him seven times, but he didn't answer any of them.

And now, Su Manman just snorted, and he panicked like this.

Shen Zhiyi stood there, watching Xu Zhesheng carry Su Manman and rush towards the door.

As he passed by her, his shoulder bumped into her hard.

"Bang."

Her already weak body staggered a couple of steps from the impact, her back slamming against the door frame, and a tearing pain shot through her recently healed wound.

Shen Zhiyi looked down.

To avoid revealing that she had undergone surgery, she wore black clothes today, but even so, the strong smell of blood still filled her nostrils.

She panicked slightly and instinctively called out, "Xu Zhesheng!"

The voice seemed to carry a plea.

Xu Zhesheng paused slightly, his fingers tensing for a moment, but he still held Su Manman tightly, not giving Shen Zhiyi a single glance, and said only, "Zhiyi, we'll talk about it when we get back. Manman's health is the priority right now."

After saying that, he stepped out the door.

"Ah Zhe! Slow down! Watch your step!"

Zhang Feng and Xu Zhi rushed out immediately afterward, and the moment the door closed, the room fell completely silent.

Shen Zhiyi stood alone in the empty living room, looking at the tightly closed door.

The food on the table was still steaming.

The cake hasn't been opened yet.

The ground was littered with the petals of bellflowers, trampled underfoot and leaving dirty shoe prints.

She looked down at the bloodstains on her abdomen.

Then he slowly bent down and picked up the bunch of bellflowers.

She didn't cry.

She pushed open the door and stepped into the torrential rain outside.

......

Inside the hospital.

Shen Zhiyi's best friend, Tan Gui, rushed over in a white coat. Seeing Shen Zhiyi sitting in a chair, soaking wet, she felt both distressed and angry. She draped her own coat over Shen Zhiyi's shoulders and anxiously asked:

"What happened? Didn't you go back to celebrate Xu Zhesheng's birthday? How did you aggravate your wound? And why are you alone again today? Is that man dead? Why did you come to the hospital alone in such heavy rain?"

Shen Zhiyi was shivering from the cold. When she saw her best friend, all the grievances she had been holding back finally burst out.

She hugged Tan Gui tightly, wanting to cry but finding that she couldn't squeeze out a single tear.

"Yingying, I'm planning to divorce Xu Zhesheng."

As she spoke, Shen Zhiyi felt as if her heart was being clenched tightly in a fist, a sharp, aching pain. She knew that it was nothing more than her resentment towards her past sacrifices.

This relationship wasted ten years of her life, and even though she had decided to give up in her heart, she couldn't let go so quickly.

"What?"

Tan Gui and Shen Zhiyi were high school classmates. Tan Gui knew and understood Shen Zhiyi's feelings better than anyone else. Shen Zhiyi was deeply in love with Xu Zhesheng. She would never have said such a thing if she hadn't suffered a great injustice.

She took out a napkin from her bag and carefully wiped Shen Zhiyi's face. Only then did she realize that not only was her body wet, but her face also showed signs of being hit. The left side of her beautiful face was swollen, and the corner of her mouth was bruised, showing how much force the person had used.

"Damn it! Xu Zhesheng hit you?!" Tan Gui's eyes flashed with anger. She took off her doctor's coat and was about to rush out: "What kind of bastard is he to dare hit you! I'll break his legs today, or I'm not Tan!"

Shen Zhiyi quickly grabbed her, "He didn't hit me, but it was close."

"Yingying, I don't want to get involved in any more trouble. I just want to get a divorce as soon as possible."

Shen Zhiyi lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling slightly, her face so white it was almost transparent, which made Tan Gui feel heartbroken.

She gently hugged her, stroking her hair: "Divorce! It should have been done a long time ago! I'll find you a lawyer! You've been the one who made Xu Zhesheng so successful all these years, so you should make sure he gets a fair share of the family fortune!"

"Shen Zhiyi! Come in and stitch up the wound!"

The nurse came out and called her name.

Tan Ying didn't say anything more, she just held Shen Zhiyi's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll stay with you."

While stitching her up, the doctor frowned, glanced at her, and ultimately uttered only four words:

"Keep warm."

Fortunately, the wound wasn't too serious, and Tan Gui had found the best doctor, so the stitches were done in half an hour.

"By the way, where are you going tonight? Do your parents know you're getting a divorce from Xu Zhesheng? Will they agree?"

As Tan Gui helped Shen Zhiyi to the hospital entrance, she suddenly asked a question.

Although Shen Zhiyi's parents were intellectuals, they were extremely old-fashioned. They did not approve of Shen Zhiyi's marriage to Xu Zhesheng. However, when Shen Zhiyi insisted on it, they made a harsh statement that no matter how unbearable the marriage was, they would never allow her to get a divorce, otherwise they would sever their parent-child relationship with her.

Shen Zhiyi paused, realizing she had completely forgotten about it.

Right now, she has no time to consider her parents' feelings.

"Let's talk about this later. I'm going home tonight; I have other things to take care of."

She said slowly.

Tan Gui looked at her intently, sighed, and said, "Okay, don't be stubborn. If anything happens, call me immediately and I'll come pick you up."

Shen Zhiyi nodded.

When I got to the hospital entrance, it was difficult to hail a taxi because of the rain.

Tan Gui was hurriedly called away by the director again, leaving Shen Zhiyi standing alone by the roadside.

The cold wind was biting, and she hugged herself tightly, trying to keep herself warm.

A familiar voice came from behind.

"Zhe, thank goodness you acted quickly, otherwise our child would have..."

Su Manman's voice was choked with sobs.

Zhang Feng, standing nearby, also sighed, "Manman, you're pregnant, why are you so emotional? Let me tell you, you're not allowed to say anything stupid like aborting the baby again. You're so far along in your pregnancy, an abortion would affect your health!"

"If you ever need anything in the future, come to Mom. I'll back you up. If that Shen Zhiyi bullies you again, I'll break her hand!"

Shen Zhiyi turned around and saw Xu Zhesheng and his family of four walking happily out of the hospital. Although Su Manman's face was pale, she showed no signs of the tension she had felt from bleeding from her lower body earlier.

Even when her eyes met Shen Zhiyi's, the corners of her mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.

The people over there had obviously seen her too.

Xu Zhesheng instinctively shielded Su Manman behind him. His gaze fell on her; she was soaking wet, her lips were pale, and there was a small, dark stain on her clothes around her abdomen.

He frowned slightly.

But in the end, he didn't ask anything.

Zhang Feng, however, wore a mocking expression: "What? You just said you wanted a divorce, and now you can't bear to part with it? Coming to the hospital to apologize? Let me tell you! Too late!"

"You almost caused Manman to miscarry, and your verbal apology wasn't sincere. Now, you have to kneel down and kowtow to beg for forgiveness!"
