The man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the descending pressure plate finally stop.

"What did you say?" Lu Bozhou's voice was indifferent.

The man swallowed hard, still shaken by Lu Bozhou's madness.

People who weren't interested in Lu Bolin's instigation stopped when Jiang Mian was mentioned.

He could only bite the bullet and say, "You don't think that Jiang Mian saving your son is something good, do you? We're partners! We're working together!"

“That’s interesting.” Lu Bozhou smirked. “Go on.”

Seeing that Lu Bozhou was interested, the man spoke even more fluently.

"If it weren't for her suggestion, how could we have had the opportunity to bring your son out? I have to say, she's really capable. No one has been able to get you to give in these past few years, but she actually did it."

"Mr. Lu was right after all, her face has a unique power! I've told you everything, please spare me!"

Lu Bozhou's eyes grew increasingly cold and deep, so unreadable that they were impossible to decipher.

……

Jiang Mian shivered inexplicably while lying in her hospital bed.

"Are you cold? I'll slow down the IV drip for you." The nurse saw her shivering and reached out to adjust the drip rate.

"Thank you." Jiang Mian found it difficult to call anyone, as her hands were not very mobile to begin with.

And her phone? She doesn't have a phone anymore... That phone with the cracked screen is long gone.

As the nurse was about to leave, Jiang Mian stopped her, "Excuse me, I wanted to ask, which ward is the child who came in with me in?"

The nurse smiled somewhat awkwardly, "I don't have the authority to tell you that."

Jiang Mian didn't want to put the nurse in a difficult position, so she asked, "Is Dr. Song here?"

Seeing Song Xu went quite smoothly; the nurse pushed Jiang Mian in a wheelchair and took her to the door of Song Xu's office.

"Thank you, I can go in by myself, I won't disturb your work."

"You're welcome." The nurse then left.

Just as Jiang Mian was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, she heard Song Xu's voice coming from the crack in the door that wasn't closed properly.

"What? What does this have to do with Jiang Mian? Her hand is almost broken into eight pieces. Who the hell would make a mistake with such a high cost? What's the point?"

"Bo Zhou, you don't believe that, do you? Tsk, I told you to stop him, to stop him. Fine, I know you can't stop him, you useless piece of trash, bye..."

Although Jiang Mian didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, she didn't need to know either. Just from Song Xu's words, it wasn't difficult to figure out what was going on.

The bodyguard should have been caught by now, right? And that bodyguard seems to have identified her as an accomplice.

Will Lu Bozhou believe it?

It will.

He definitely wouldn't believe her; he'd never believed her.

Whether it's a past life or this life.

Even in her past life, when she first discovered she was pregnant and told Lu Bozhou...

All she got in return was his indifferent voice, telling her to stop playing tricks.

He never trusted her. In her past life, when she was about to give birth, she called him, and Xu Yawei answered. But perhaps, even if he had answered, she wouldn't have gotten a better answer.

Perhaps the words will be even colder and more heart-wrenching.

Jiang Mian felt a sharp pang in her heart, and the palpitation made it difficult for her to even breathe.

The injury, which I thought had become somewhat numb from the pain, has now started to throb with pain again.

The pain made it difficult for her to breathe.

Jiang Mian couldn't help but raise her hand and gently clutch the clothes at her heart.

The office door opened from the inside.

"Whoa! You scared me." Song Xu was startled to find someone standing outside the door.

But she quickly realized, "Jiang Mian? What are you doing here?"

Seeing Jiang Mian's pale face, Song Xu recalled his phone conversation with Song Xun inside.

He clicked his tongue inwardly, thinking how incredibly unfortunate the timing was.

Jiang Mian forced a smile. "I had a nurse bring me here. Sorry to bother you."

"Hey, no problem. You can just have the nurse call me if you need anything." Song Xu waved his hand casually. "What do you need me for?"

"I want to see Little Stone," Jiang Mian bit her lip and asked softly, "Is that alright?"

Song Xu hesitated for a moment, but looking at Jiang Mian's pale face, he thought that she must have been frightened by what he had said on the phone.

So she agreed, "It's not impossible, come with me."

Jiang Mian breathed a sigh of relief and was about to follow Song Xu.

Song Xu helped her into a wheelchair and pushed her out.

Unexpectedly, Little Stone's hospital room wasn't here.

It wasn't on her ward floor, or even in the building where her ward was located.

After passing through the small garden behind the building, you'll see a beautiful villa.

The sign at the entrance reads "VIP ward".

Because it was a high-end private hospital, Jiang Mian's previous single room already felt very luxurious.

A single room with a bathroom, kitchen, and small balcony.

But this one is clearly different.

“When Xiao Shitou was a child, he was in poor health and spent a lot of time in the hospital, so Bozhou invested a lot of money in this place. There is a special ward for Xiao Shitou, which is decorated in a homey style.”

His words caused Jiang Mian a pang of pain in her heart. She nodded, "I heard from Assistant Song that he was underdeveloped in the womb."

But to my surprise, after saying that, Song Xu smiled and said, "He doesn't know anything. Things are not that simple."

Jiang Mian was taken aback. It wasn't just that? It wasn't that simple? Then... what was it like?

She wanted to ask Song Xu, even though she felt he definitely wouldn't answer, but she still wanted to ask anyway.

However, before Jiang Mian could speak, Song Xu said, "We've arrived."

Once she heard that, she didn't care about asking any more questions.

He quickly peered inside.

"Perfect timing, everyone's already out, saves a lot of trouble." Song Xu pushed her inside.

These VIP wards are all suites, but once you enter through the door, you're in the actual ward with a bed.

Other reception rooms, dining rooms, and caregiver rooms are all located nearby.

So as soon as Jiang Mian entered, she saw a small figure curled up in a ball on the hospital bed.

Curled up, like in the womb, in a very insecure position.

“He’s asleep,” Song Xu said. “He suffered a lot of trauma, so he’s been sleeping a lot. Sleep is a form of escape and a form of repair.”

Jiang Mian lowered her voice, "Then don't wake him up. I just came to check if he's alright."

Song Xu nodded and asked, "Should I take you back now, or wait a little longer?"

Jiang Mian looked at the small figure curled up in a ball on the bed and said, "Let's wait a little longer."

Let her watch the child a little longer and spend more time with him.

In this way, she will be more courageous when facing the storms and grievances that may come.

Just then, footsteps came from the doorway behind them, and someone walked in.

Jiang Mian turned her head and saw two familiar faces.

Her pupils contracted! She became inexplicably nervous!
