Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!-Chapter 257: The Child Is Gone

Soon after, a large group of bodyguards wearing black suits and with burly physiques stormed in. Two blocked the door while the rest swiftly subdued the thugs inside the room.

"Uncle... Uncle...!" Seeing Mu Beiting arrive like a descending deity, Ye Anxin suddenly felt her eyes burn, and warm tears burst forth.

Mu Beiting looked towards Ye Anxin and saw her lying on the ground covered in blood. His eyes abruptly sharpened as he strode over and picked her up from the floor.

Ye Anxin’s bloodstained hand tightly gripped Mu Beiting’s suit collar, her voice pleading, "Uncle, my stomach hurts... Our child... We must save our child...!"

"I’ll take you to the hospital!" With that, he stood up, holding Ye Anxin and headed outside.

For the first time in his life, Mu Beiting’s tone showed urgency and tension.

The gang leader felt embarrassed as Mu Beiting left so brazenly and shouted stubbornly, "Who the hell are you?"

"Break their limbs and lock them up!" Without even turning his head, Mu Beiting coldly left behind this sentence, holding Ye Anxin as they departed.

Being carried out by Mu Beiting, Ye Anxin distinctly heard the cries of agony rising and falling from the gambling den.

Ye Anxin’s face rested against Mu Beiting’s chest, her voice weak as she said, "Uncle, our child will be alright, right?"

"Yes! He will be safe!" Mu Beiting nodded, directly carrying Ye Anxin to the business car outside, instructing the driver, "Get to the hospital as fast as possible!"

"Yes!" The driver took a glance at Ye Anxin in the rearview mirror, not daring to delay, hurriedly sped towards the hospital.

Mu Beiting’s ’as fast as possible to the hospital,’ the driver naturally understood the meaning!

Thus, he didn’t stop at any red lights, rushing to the hospital as fast as he could. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The usual forty-minute journey was forcefully shortened by half, reaching the hospital in just twenty minutes.

The car hadn’t even come to a complete stop when Mu Beiting opened the door, carrying Ye Anxin out.

"Uncle, I’m so tired, I want to sleep...! I’m so sleepy...!" Ye Anxin lay in Mu Beiting’s arms, her abdomen already numb from the pain!

At this moment, she only felt her eyelids were so heavy, heavy that she had no strength to open them.

Mu Beiting soothed softly, "Then just lean against me and sleep for a while!"

This was the first time Ye Anxin had heard Mu Beiting’s voice so gentle!

With Mu Beiting here, all Ye Anxin’s defenses melted away, and she simply leaned against him and fell deeply asleep.

Ye Anxin didn’t know how long she had slept; she only knew that in her dreams, she smelled a strong odor of antiseptic.

The medicine smell was so strong, she felt something cold seemed to be stirring inside her stomach!

"Ah...!" She was in pain, moaning continuously but still unable to open her heavy eyelids.

In the midst of this pain, she finally completely sank into an endless darkness.

...............

Pain... It hurts... It hurts all over...

This was Ye Anxin’s first feeling upon regaining consciousness!

Ye Anxin didn’t know how long she had been asleep; she only knew that when she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Uncle’s slightly haggard face.

Married to Uncle for so long, she had never seen him look so worn out.

Dark circles under his eyes, stubble on his chin, the shirt collar unbuttoned, and fatigue in the usually cold eyes.

At this moment, Uncle was sitting by the bed, his hands cradling hers, his chin resting on her hand, staring off somewhere lost in thought.

"Un... Uncle...!" Ye Anxin opened her dry lips, only then realizing her voice was terribly hoarse.

Sitting by the bed, Mu Beiting heard the voice and quickly looked over, "You’re awake!"

Ye Anxin raised her eyes and glanced around uncertainly, asking, "Uncle, am I in a hospital?"

"Yes!" Mu Beiting nodded, releasing her hand, gently placing it on the bed. Then he stood up, poured a glass of water on the bedside table, sat on the bed, supported Ye Anxin’s nape with one hand, lifting her head slightly, and brought the glass to her lips.

Ye Anxin lowered her head and drank the water from the cup all at once.

Mu Beiting asked, "Feeling better? Do you want more?"

Ye Anxin nodded, "Yes!"

Mu Beiting followed suit and poured her another glass of water.

With two glasses of water down, Ye Anxin’s throat felt significantly better.

After Ye Anxin finished drinking, Mu Beiting laid her back down on the bed, covered her with the quilt, sat by the edge, and asked gently, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Ye Anxin shook her head slightly, "Uncle, what about our child? Is he okay?" Saying this, her hand unconsciously moved towards her abdomen.

When she felt the flatness of her abdomen under the quilt, she froze, incredulously feeling around once more!

Still flat...?

Ye Anxin suddenly widened her eyes, her voice trembling as she asked, "Uncle, where’s our child?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Beiting’s throat moved down, his voice hoarse as he said, "We’re still young; we’ll have another in the future!"

"No... Uncle, no... My child...!" Ye Anxin, moved by her own flat stomach, emotions surging, accepted the fact with great difficulty, her body trembled violently as she couldn’t accept this reality.

Mu Beiting pressed Ye Anxin’s agitated hand through the quilt, speaking in a low voice, "Anxin, don’t be like this! Your body won’t take it if you continue!"

Ye Anxin stopped what she was doing, looking at Mu Beiting in a daze.

Slowly, her eyes turned red bit by bit, and tears gradually accumulated.

Seeing her like this, Mu Beiting’s gaze flickered, his throat moved, his voice hoarse as he said, "I know you’re heartbroken over losing the child, but... it’s already a fact, an unchangeable fact! Don’t be sad anymore!"

Ye Anxin blinked, a tear slipping down her eye corner.

Mu Beiting reached out with slender, well-defined fingers to wipe away the teardrop.

Wiping the first one away, a second one rolled down, and after the second one, a third one followed! Gradually, more and more.

Finally, Ye Anxin couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into tears, her body suddenly rising to hug Mu Beiting’s neck, burying her face in his neck and crying loudly, "Uncle, our child is gone, our child is gone! Waa... It’s my fault, I failed him! It’s me... If it weren’t for me, the child wouldn’t be gone... I should have been careful, I shouldn’t have been so reckless! Child, my child...! Uncle, I’m sorry, I failed to protect our child! Ugh...!"

Mu Beiting’s strong arms held her tightly in his embrace, his handsome face buried in her hair for a long time before softly speaking, "It’s not your fault! It was just an accident! That’s all!"

[PS: Well, the child is gone purely for plot needs, setting up for the following plot. If the child had survived, it would have deviated from the original outline, please forgive my cruelty, bowing!]
