The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 132 Continued Depression

Li Luoyao's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the hope that had been burning in my heart. I looked at Zhong Yuxuan in horror, and his face became extremely ugly, but his hands held me even tighter.

"Sister, please stop talking!" Zhong Yuxuan's voice was a little tired and helpless. "I will take care of the matter between Luo Xue and me, and please respect our choice."

"Respect?" Li Luoyao sneered, "You even gave up your family business for this woman. Is this what you call respect?"

"Family business?" I looked at Zhong Yuxuan in surprise. "What happened?"

Zhong Yuxuan took a deep breath, as if trying to control his emotions. He turned to look at me, his eyes full of apology and heartache, "Luo Xue, I'm sorry, I..."

"Yuxuan, what's going on?" My heart was getting more and more panicked, and an ominous premonition came to my mind.

Before Zhong Yuxuan could speak, Zhong Shuhao walked in from outside. His face was not looking good, but after seeing me and the child, he still tried to force a smile: "Luo Xue, don't worry, we will find a way to take care of the child."

"Shuhao, what is going on?" I grabbed Zhong Shuhao's hand and asked anxiously.

Zhong Shuhao sighed, looked at Zhong Yuxuan, then looked at me, and finally said, "Grandpa knows about you and Yuxuan. He is very angry and has decided to...freeze all of Yuxuan's positions and shares in the company."

"What?!" I felt dizzy. How could this happen? Did the child and I really become a burden to Zhong Yuxuan, causing him to lose everything?

"Luo Xue, listen to me..." Zhong Yuxuan wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Zhong Shuhao.

"Yuxuan, now is not the time to talk about this. How about the child's surgery fees?" Zhong Shuhao's tone was filled with a hint of anxiety.

"I'm already raising money, and I will get the surgery fee together as soon as possible." Zhong Yuxuan's voice was tired but full of determination.

I looked at the man in front of me. He had lost too much for me and my child. I couldn't make things difficult for him anymore.

"Yuxuan, let go." I suppressed the grief in my heart and whispered, "I can't let you give up everything for me and the child."

"Luo Xue, what nonsense are you talking about!" Zhong Yuxuan grabbed my hand excitedly, "I will never give up on you and the child, ever!"

Looking at Zhong Yuxuan's determined eyes, my tears burst out again. I know that my child and I are his only hope now, and I can't let him down.

"Yuxuan, I believe you." I held his hand tightly, feeling his warmth and his strength.

Outside the window, the north wind howled, as if foreshadowing the difficulties and obstacles in the future. But I believe that as long as Zhong Yuxuan and I are together, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and welcome our spring.

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open again, and a familiar figure walked in...

The person who opened the door was Qin Xue, who was holding a thermos in her hand with a worried look on her face. Seeing my red and swollen eyes, she immediately put down the thermos, walked quickly to my side, and hugged me in her arms with heartache.

"Luo Xue, don't worry, everything will be fine." Qin Xue's voice was gentle and firm, like a warm current that dispelled the coldness in my heart.

I hugged Qin Xue tightly, buried my head in her shoulder, and let the tears flow freely. At this moment, I felt like a lost child who finally found a harbor to rely on.

Qin Xue patted my back gently and comforted me softly. She didn't say too many fancy words, but I could feel her sincere care and support.

"Luo Xue, don't worry, I will always be with you." Qin Xue's words were simple, but made me feel warm.

Zhong Yuxuan and Zhong Shuhao also came over, their faces full of worry and distress. I tried to force a smile, not wanting them to worry about me anymore.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

"Luo Xue, have a good rest. We will find a way to take care of the child." Zhong Shuhao patted my shoulder and said in a firm tone.

I nodded gratefully, knowing that they were all trying their best to help me, and I felt a little better.

Qin Xue opened the thermos, filled a bowl of hot chicken soup and handed it to me.

"Luo Xue, you should eat a little to keep your strength so that you can take good care of the baby."

I took the chicken soup and sipped it. Qin Xue's chicken soup was stewed with great care, and it tasted delicious and warmed my stomach and heart.

However, just when we thought things would slowly get better, the door of the ward was pushed open again, and this time the person who walked in was Zhong Yuxuan's second uncle, Zhong Qiming.

Zhong Qiming's face was gloomy and his eyes were cold. He glanced at everyone in the ward and finally set his gaze on me.

"Li Luoxue, you are so good at this. You have bewitched Yuxuan so much that he even gave up the family business!" Zhong Qiming's voice was sharp and piercing, full of contempt and disdain.

I put down the bowl in my hand, looked at Zhong Qiming coldly, and a nameless fire burned in my heart.

"Second uncle, please speak with respect!" Zhong Yuxuan stood up, stood in front of me, and said in a cold tone.

"Respect? How can a woman of unknown identity like her be qualified to be respected by me?!" Zhong Qiming hit back without showing any weakness.

"That's enough!" Zhong Shuhao stood up and shouted at Zhong Qiming, "What time is it now? You are still here saying these sarcastic words!"

"Isn't what I said the truth? Because of this woman, Yuxuan has been deprived of his inheritance rights by grandfather. She has brought shame to our Zhong family!" Zhong Qiming became more and more agitated, almost roaring.

My heart sank suddenly. It turned out that Zhong Yuxuan paid such a huge price for me and the child.

I raised my head and looked at the man in front of me whom I loved deeply. His face was full of fatigue and confusion. My heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle and it ached in waves.

Faced with family pressure, Zhong Yuxuan began to doubt his own abilities. He didn't know how to protect me and the baby. Would my existence really become a burden to him?

The atmosphere in the ward was horribly tense, and Zhong Qiming's sharp words were like sharp knives, stabbing my heart again and again. I saw Zhong Yuxuan's back, and his broad shoulders seemed to be trembling slightly. I couldn't imagine what kind of pressure and pain he was under at this moment.

"Uncle, things are not what you think..." My explanation seemed pale and powerless. Zhong Qiming simply didn't listen. He left angrily, leaving the house in a mess and the four of us feeling heavy-hearted.

Qin Xue and Zhong Shuhao also left one after another, leaving only Zhong Yuxuan and I in the ward. As the sun set, orange-red light poured in through the window, casting a faint sadness over the room.

Zhong Yuxuan remained silent. He walked to the window and looked at the sunset in the distance. His back was lonely and desolate. I looked at his clenched fists and slightly trembling shoulders, and my heart was broken.

I walked up behind him, gently wrapped my arms around his waist, and pressed my cheek against his back. I could feel his body stiffen, but he didn't push me away.

"Yuxuan, I'm sorry. It's all because of me that you..." My voice choked and tears blurred my eyes again.

"Silly girl, why are you saying sorry? This was all my choice and I have never regretted it." Zhong Yuxuan turned around and gently wiped the tears from my face. His eyes were full of heartache and self-blame.

"But, because of me, you lost your inheritance rights and the support of your family. You must be very confused and helpless now, right?" I raised my head, looked straight into his eyes, and said with heartache.

Zhong Yuxuan was silent, he avoided my gaze, his eyes flashed with pain and struggle. I knew that my words had touched his sore spot.

"Luo Xue, I..." He hesitated to speak, as if he had a lot to say but didn't know how to say it.

"Yuxuan, you don't have to say anything, I understand." I stretched out my fingers and gently pressed his lips to stop him from talking. "I know you are worried about me and the baby. You are afraid that you are not able to protect us, right?"

Zhong Yuxuan's eyes were red. He held my hand tightly and placed my hand on his chest, letting me feel his strong heartbeat at the moment.

"Luo Xue, believe me, I will protect you and the baby. I won't let anyone hurt you again." His voice was low and firm, as if he was talking to himself, but also as if he was making a promise to me.

I nodded, rested my head on his chest, listened to his strong heartbeat, and felt the determination and strength deep in his heart. I believed in him, just as he believed in me.

"Yuxuan, let's face it together, okay?" I raised my head and gave him a firm look.

He nodded, and the confusion in his eyes gradually faded away, replaced by a hint of determination and hope.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on us, stretching our shadows very long. We hug each other tightly, like two trees supporting each other in the wind and rain, relying on each other and warming each other.

I know that the road ahead is still long and we will encounter various difficulties and challenges, but as long as we love and trust each other, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and welcome our happiness.

However, just as we were encouraging each other and regaining our confidence, my cell phone suddenly rang. The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number, and I suddenly felt uneasy...

"Hello, how are you?" I answered the phone and an inexplicable sense of uneasiness came over me.

"Ms. Li, long time no see." A low voice came from the other end of the phone, strange yet familiar. My heart sank suddenly. I remembered this voice. It was the mysterious man who warned me at the hospital gate that day!

"It's you?! What do you want to do?" I clenched the phone, my tone full of vigilance and fear.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to remind you that there are some things that the less you know the better, otherwise..." His voice was cold and threatening, and I could even imagine his sinister smile at this moment.

Before I could say anything, he hung up the phone. I stood there in a daze, a chill running from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Yuxuan noticed that something was wrong with me and asked with concern.

I told him what had happened in the conversation, and his expression turned serious.

"It seems that we are being targeted." He said in a deep voice, "This mysterious person must know something, and he doesn't want us to investigate further."

Fear and anxiety hung over my heart like two dark clouds, but I did not back down. Instead, I became more determined to find out the truth.

"Yuxuan, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must find out who this mysterious man is and what he wants to do!" I clenched my fists, my eyes filled with determination.

Zhong Yuxuan nodded. He knew my character and knew that once I made up my mind, I would not give up easily.

"Okay, let's investigate together and never let go of any suspicious clues!" His eyes were full of determination and strength, as if they injected me with endless courage.

So, we started to investigate the source of the mysterious phone call. Zhong Yuxuan used his connections and resources and finally found that the number was registered to a network security company called "Black Hawk".

"Black Hawk Cybersecurity Company?" I frowned. The name sounded mysterious and dangerous.

"Yes, this company is very mysterious, and there is almost no public information available. I suspect..." Zhong Yuxuan paused, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "I suspect this company is just a cover, and there may be a huge criminal organization hidden behind it!"

My heart sank. If this was true, then things would become even more complicated and dangerous.

"Then what should we do?" I raised my head and looked at him anxiously.

"Don't worry, I will find out." Zhong Yuxuan held me in his arms and gently stroked my hair. His tone was gentle but firm. "I will definitely protect you and will not let you get hurt."

However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on us. Just when we were about to conduct an in-depth investigation into the company "Black Hawk", a sudden car accident broke our peaceful life...

The biting cold wind came in through the window of the ward, making my cheeks hurt. I sat woodenly by the bed, holding Zhong Yuxuan's cold hand, and felt as if my heart was frozen.

A whole week had passed since the car accident, and Zhong Yuxuan still hadn't woken up. The doctor said that there was blood congestion in his brain that was compressing his nerves, and he needed a craniotomy, but the operation was very risky and he was likely to become a vegetable.

I dare not imagine or accept such an outcome.

Zhong Shuhao and Qin Xue took turns to come to the hospital to take care of us. They always comforted me, saying that Zhong Yuxuan was blessed by heaven and would be fine. However, looking at Zhong Yuxuan lying lifeless on the hospital bed, I couldn't help but shed tears again and again.

"Yuxuan, can you please wake up? Open your eyes and look at me. You promised me to protect me. You also promised to find out the truth with me..." I called him softly in his ear over and over again, but he never responded.

How I wish time could go back to the moment when the car accident happened. Even if I have to bear it all for him, I would not hesitate!

That day, we were planning to investigate near the Black Hawk Company to see if we could find any clues. However, when we were driving through an intersection, a large truck suddenly lost control and rushed straight towards our car...

I don’t know anything about what happened next. When I woke up, I was already lying in the hospital, and Zhong Yuxuan was…

"Luo Xue, go and have a rest first. I'll watch over you here." Zhong Shuhao patted my shoulder gently. His eyes were red, and he was obviously trying hard to hold back his grief.

"I'm not tired, I want to stay here with Yuxuan." I shook my head, my eyes refusing to leave Zhong Yuxuan on the hospital bed.

"But you haven't had a good rest for several days. If you continue like this, your body will collapse." Qin Xue also persuaded, "Don't worry, we will take good care of Yuxuan."

I know they are doing this for my own good, but I am really worried about Zhong Yuxuan. How can I rest in peace when he is like this?

"I'm fine, I really am..."

Before I could finish my words, I suddenly felt dizzy, my vision went dark, and I knew nothing...
