Chapter 323 - Abyss Of Remorse And Guilt
The doctor said that it was her first pregnancy and that her womb was badly damaged because of the external injury.
After she came to, she still had to undergo a full body examination to prevent the relapse of any side effects.
Luo Anning kept her eyes fixed on the ceiling and tears rolled down her cheeks silently.
Old Mr. Rong sighed and left after saying, “Take good care of Lass Anning.”
As a mother herself, Jiang Peihua could empathise with Luo Anning and understand the pain of losing her child. Hence when Xu Zhiyuan arrived at the hospital to urge Rong Yan to go back to the office and handle the documents that have been piling up for three days, she chased Rong Yan away.
With a tender and mellow voice, Jiang Peihua tried to talk her round and comfort her while holding onto her hand.
Just like a loving mother, she gazed at Luo Anning tenderly and benevolently in a bid to comfort her broken heart.
…
On the first day that Luo Anning came to, she asked about her pregnancy and ever since then, she never said another word.
She didn’t speak in the following days either.
Rong Yan knew she was upset but so was he.
When he was working during the day, Jiang Peihua would take care of Luo Anning until he arrived at night. He would then sleep on the other bed in the ward and stay by her side all night.
He tried everything he could to coax her and cheer her up in a bid to make her say something.
However, she did not say a single word and would simply stare at a corner and space out.
“Young Master Rong, this is the soup that Madam has specially brewed for Young Madam. There’s some food too. You may dine with Young Madam.” Xu Zhiyuan entered with a few thermal containers that were full of food.
Rong Yan wiped Luo Anning’s face with a wet towel and said, “Okay, bring the soup here.”
Xu Zhiyuan scooped some fragrant soup into a bowl and handed it to Rong Yan who then passed him a towel. He then helped Luo Anning up and allowed her to rest on his chest.
“Anning, Mother brewed this especially for you. Have some, alright?”
There was no expression on her face at all. Rong Yan knew she wouldn’t agree and hence picked up the spoon to scoop some soup which he then fed to her.
Luo Anning blinked and slowly turned to look at him. Rong Yan was so agitated that he spilled the soup.
“Anning, are you trying to tell me something?”
He had lost plenty of weight and his once handsome face seemed to have become rather haggard.
Stubble had also grown out of his beautiful chin and his hair was all messy and unkempt.
He seemed rather decrepit.
Tears rolled down her cheeks without warning and she placed a hand on his face. “Rong Yan, I’m sorry… I was the one who caused the miscarriage, it was my fault…”
Rong Yan placed the bowl onto the bedside cabinet and hugged her tightly. He said in a hoarse voice, “Anning, I don’t blame you. I really don’t. I was the one who failed to protect you two so I should be the one apologising.”
“It was clearly my fault. You told me to bring the bodyguards along but I didn’t…” The thought of everything that happened that day made her heart shatter and she found it difficult to breathe.
For the past few days, she had been soaking in agony and she began to feel ashamed and guilty after seeing how meticulous Jiang Peihua was with taking care of her.
If she could turn back time, she would rather be injured than suffer a miscarriage!
