Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 441 - 384 I’m Sorry to You and the Baby (Second Update)
Just like Yi Luowa said, they once again completely defeated Tong Aino’s Royal Academy team.
Tong Aino was sulking at home, while Yi Luowa was hosting a victory feast in the big dining hall.
Eating and drinking was one thing, but she even had Mi Chenxuan take photos and send them to Tong Aino.
After seeing the photos, Tong Aino was so furious that he nearly smashed his phone.
That night, Tong Airui received a phone call from Tong Aino to complain, but who was Fourth Master? Between his brother and his wife, he naturally sided with his wife.
"The photos weren’t sent by your sister-in-law but by Old Eight. If you have a problem, take it up with him!"
Tong Airui hung up immediately after saying that.
Yi Luowa, sitting nearby, laughed mischievously like a little fox. "Husband, you’re the best~"
Tong Airui leaned closer to her. "Wife, since I’m so good, shouldn’t you reward me at least once?"
Yi Luowa smiled and hooked her arm around his neck, calling him in a sweet voice, "Husband~"
Fourth Master melted inside instantly and flipped over to pin her beneath him...
But then...
"Wife, why are you bleeding?!"
"Wife... why does your face look so pale?!"
"Wife, say something!"
"Wife, don’t scare me..."
Fourth Master’s forehead instantly broke out in sweat.
"Husband... my stomach hurts..." Yi Luowa painfully opened her eyes.
"I’ll call Old Knife, I’ll have him come right away." Tong Airui’s hands trembled violently. He barely managed to grab the phone, only for it to fall to the ground with a sharp clatter.
Frustrated, Tong Airui picked up the phone again and called Old Knife.
Old Knife arrived quickly. After an examination, Old Knife’s own forehead broke into sweat. "Captain, Engineer Yi, this is a sign of miscarriage."
Tong Airui’s eyes instantly flashed red. He grabbed Old Knife’s collar and shouted, "Say that again! The test a few days ago said she wasn’t pregnant!"
"Husband, let go of Dr. Knife. You must save our child..."
Tong Airui pushed Old Knife aside and roared, "Hurry up!"
Old Knife nodded guiltily, quickly pulling out an injection from his medical kit. "We’ll stop the bleeding first..." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Tong Airui shot him a sideways glare and immediately called Mai Zekai. "Old Seven, where are you?"
"At the hospital..."
"Get the hospital’s best OB-GYN immediately. The helicopter is picking you up in five minutes."
Mai Zekai asked casually, "What’s going on? You’re so worked up. You need to explain so I know what medicine to bring..."
Tong Airui impatiently interrupted him, "Your Fourth Sister-in-law might miscarry!"
"Oh, damn!" Mai Zekai jumped out of his chair in an instant. "I’ll hang up now and find someone."
"Don’t tell the family yet to avoid worrying them!" Tong Airui added. The outcome was uncertain, and he didn’t want to scare his mother and grandmother.
"Got it!" Mai Zekai strode out the door.
Old Knife administered the bleeding control injection to Yi Luowa, and the bleeding reduced significantly. By the time Mai Zekai brought the doctors over, the bleeding had mostly stopped.
A team of OB-GYN specialists entered and began consultations. After their assessment and a series of medications, Yi Luowa’s condition stabilized.
The pain subsided, and Yi Luowa drifted off into a hazy sleep.
Tong Airui asked the doctors as soon as they came downstairs, "My wife—is she going to be okay?"
"She’ll be fine," an older expert said.
Tong Airui’s heart skipped a beat. "What about the baby?"
"The situation is still precarious. If the baby is extremely fragile, even a sneeze could result in a miscarriage."
Tong Airui furrowed his brows. "I want my wife to be healthy. If it doesn’t harm her, save the baby if possible. If not..."
As he spoke, his heart felt like it was being wrenched, a sudden wave of pain overwhelming him.
"Do your best to save both!" Mai Zekai firmly patted his shoulder.
Tong Airui nodded. "You didn’t tell the family, did you?"
Mai Zekai adjusted his glasses. "I haven’t even told Shanshan."
"If something happens to the baby... don’t tell the family about this incident. Spare everyone unnecessary pain."
"Got it!" Mai Zekai gave him a sidelong look. "Your Fourth Sister-in-law’s been pregnant for so long, and neither of you noticed?"
Tong Airui shot an icy glare at Old Knife. "Are your people idiots? Immediately lock up that lab tech in the confinement room! I’ll take care of her when I have time! And you—forget about getting this half-year’s bonus!"
Old Knife nodded repeatedly, relieved that the captain hadn’t confined him as well.
After locking up the lab tech, Mai Zekai saw that Yi Luowa’s condition was stabilizing. He left one OB-GYN expert behind and took the rest back to the capital.
After sending everyone off, Tong Airui held Yi Luowa’s hand tightly and sat beside her for most of the night. He was consumed with guilt and regret. If only he’d taken her to a hospital sooner, perhaps none of this would’ve happened.
Tong Airui’s eyes fell on Yi Luowa’s still-flat abdomen. Inside was a tiny budding life. Though neither he nor his wife had been mentally prepared for this, the thought of it being their love’s first fruit softened his heart into an ocean of tenderness.
He reached out, wanting to touch it, but as his hand hovered above her abdomen, he dared not disturb the delicate little being.
Tong Airui softly curled his lips. "Baby, whether you are a boy or a girl, remember that you belong to the Aldrich family. There are no weaklings in our household—I hope you can survive strong."
Yi Luowa’s brows twitched slightly. Her hand, hidden beneath the blanket, slowly moved to her abdomen. She dared not open her eyes, fearing her tears would pierce Tong Airui’s heart.
Tong Airui gently placed his large hand over hers. "Wife, I’m sorry to you and the baby..."
The choking emotion in his voice made Yi Luowa’s tears burst forth like a floodgate.
"Husband..."
"Wife..."
The couple stared at each other through teary eyes. Yi Luowa lightly shook her head. "No more crying... You just told the baby to be strong. If he sees us crying, he’ll laugh at us."
Tong Airui nodded through his tears, reaching out to wipe her face.
The doctor, overhearing them talk, knocked and came in. "The patient shouldn’t be too emotional. Rest as much as possible!"
"Okay, okay. No more being emotional. I’ll rest more, I’ll go back to sleep."
Yi Luowa slowly closed her eyes, but her hand remained firmly placed over her abdomen. Until she found her own parents, this little one was the only person in the world who shared her bloodline. No matter what, she vowed to give birth to him safely.
Looking at his wife who suddenly seemed like a docile child, Tong Airui wept silently, then turned and left the room. Only now did he truly understand her heart; she wanted this child even more desperately than he did.
By the time Tong Airui came downstairs, the sky had brightened. Just as he was about to ask the doctor what to make for Yi Luowa’s breakfast, his phone started ringing.
Tong Airui stared at the number flashing on the screen, and answered grimly.
"Captain, it’s Ruan Dawang. I’ve decided to head to the western border today."
Tong Airui froze. He’d been avoiding this topic for days, yet now the decision was made.
"Are you fully awake?" Tong Airui asked coldly.
"Captain, you sure know how to joke. After much deliberation, I agree with what you said—Colin’s temper is too volatile, and sending him would easily spark conflict. The others are too young and might lack the authority to manage things."
Tong Airui asked in a steady voice, "When do you plan to head out?"
"Today. This matter has dragged on long enough."
"Alright."
"Captain... I haven’t been feeling well lately. Could I bring Jiajia along?"
Tong Airui couldn’t stand the sight of Ruan Jiajia, so he was more than happy to see her go with him.
"Sure, let her join the medical team—that way she can take better care of you."
"Thank you, Captain! I’ll head out after breakfast."
Tong Airui nodded. "Alright, I’ll see you off."
After hanging up, Tong Airui took care of Yi Luowa’s breakfast and checked on her again. Seeing that she was still asleep, he quickly headed out.
Big Peng saw him exiting and promptly opened the car door. "Fourth Brother, how’s Fourth Sister-in-law?"
"The doctor said she’s fine... Wait, why are you here? Where’s Old Eight?" Tong Airui asked after getting in the car.
"Didn’t you ask Old Eight to keep an eye on Youyou? Youyou’s running late tonight, so Old Eight went to meet her."
Tong Airui rubbed his temples. "Ruan Dawang is heading to the western border today—I need to see him off. Once Youyou gets back, let me know. She’s been punctual every day in these past few days. What happened tonight?"
"Alright." Big Peng fired up the engine and said with a laugh, "No need to worry too much about Youyou. With her skills, there are few people in this compound who could match her."
