Chapter 511 - The Ling Girl’s Belly
Hearing the head of the Ruan Family calling him, Dr. Zhao immediately stopped walking and respectfully stood there “Madame, is there something you need?”
Madame Ruan looked around at the surroundings, and after confirming that there weren’t any eavesdroppers, she asked in a low voice, “How is the situation with my daughter-in-law?”
Dr. Zhao’s face tightened, unsure of why Madame Ruan was asking him this. “The young madame’s condition has stabilized. She only has to stay in the hospital for a short period of time so we can observe her, but she currently cannot be discharged.”
“I’m not asking about that!” Madame Ruan was a bit anxious. “I’m asking about my daughter-in-law’s belly.”
Dr. Zhao’s eyes tightened, and he forced his expression to remain neutral, “I’ve already told you about the young madame’s condition. Her uterus has been damaged, and there is a chance that pregnancy is impossible in the future.”
Madame Ruan’s wrinkled eyes examined Dr. Zhao’s face for any hints of a lie. Under such strict surveillance, Dr. Zhao could only move his eyes. He refused to meet the old woman’s gaze.
Why were all of the members of the Ruan Family so scary?
Wang Yazhi, who was walking ahead, turned around and saw her mother-in-law and Dr. Zhao looking at each other yet not exchanging conversation. Therefore, she walked over and grabbed Madame Ruan’s arm. “Mom, what are you doing?”
Madame Ruan gave Dr. Zhao one last deep look and then restrained her eyes and turned towards Wang Yazhi. She said, “Nothing, I just wanted to ask when the Ling girl would be discharged.”
“Oh right, when will my daughter-in-law be discharged?” Wang Yazhi asked.
Dr. Zhao wiped the sweat off his face and answered, “The young madame will be staying in the hospital for a short period of time so that we may observe her. Can I help the two of you with anything else?”
Madame Ruan repeatedly shook her hand. “That’s it. Go do your thing.”
“Okay.” Dr. Zhao rushed out, relieved that he had gotten out of the tense situation.
Madame Ruan looked at Dr. Zhao’s retreating figure, her eyes deepening, her mind pondering.
“Mom, is something the matter?”
“Oh. It’s nothing.” Madame Ruan shook off her thoughts as she was dragged out of the hospital by Wang Yazhi.
In the ward, Dr. Zhao reported his meeting with Madame Ruan to Ling Tianya.
Ling Tianya was snuggled up in Ruan Zeyan’s embrace. She spoke, annoyed, “I was a little negligent before. When I was drinking the soup, I didn’t suppress my urge and threw up in front of grandma and mother.”
Although she had made up an excuse and convinced Wang Yazhi, Madame Ruan was still suspicious.
Also, it was mentioned that Madame Ruan and Wang Yazhi had been there for a long time, yet Ling Tianya kept sleeping and was not woken up by their conversation.
“It’s fine,” Ruan Zeyan said, “My mom probably didn’t think of anything. As for grandma, you can relax. Even if she is doubtful, she won’t show it.”
Ling Tianya nodded in agreement. Grandma was a wise and farsighted person and not someone who would act blindly without thinking.
At night, Ruan Zeyan returned home to help Ling Tianya retrieve some necessities. Just as he was about to leave, he was dragged back into his room by Madame Ruan.
Madame Ruan cautiously closed the door and the windows and even pulled down the curtains. Then, she turned around to look at Ruan Zeyan at the center of the bedroom.
“Tell me the truth. Are you and Ling girl hiding something from me?” Madame Ruan quietly asked.
Ruan Zeyan raised his eyebrows. “What would we hide from you?”
Madame Ruan glared at Ruan Zeyan. “Ling girl’s belly!”
