Chapter 3

Three days flew by.

Song Wanwan's condition worsened, and Lu Jingchuan grew increasingly anxious because I hadn't shown up.

That day, as Song Wanwan wept, she said to Lu Jingchuan, "Jingchuan, I'm pregnant too.

Is this child going to be okay?"

After soothing her with all his might, Lu Jingchuan spent the entire night in his study.

The next day, he stormed into his mother's hospital room, only to find someone had beaten him to it.

Song Wanwan was kneeling on the floor, tears streaming down her face. "You've known me since I was a child. How can you just watch me die?"

"Please, for the sake of my pregnancy, help me... "

His mother was visibly upset. "You're a liar! You're not sick, and you're not pregnant either... "

Watching this scene, I suddenly recalled events from six months ago.

Having spent many years with Lu Jingchuan, he had grown accustomed to my presence.

Our relationship wasn't always so fraught.

But countless times, Lu Jingchuan found Song Wanwan kneeling at my feet, pleading, "I really love Jingchuan, please let us be together!"

I became the villainous mistress, while Song Wanwan appeared as the victim.

Back then, Lu Jingchuan had slapped me without hesitation, calling me malicious and shameless.

Now, without a second thought, Lu Jingchuan barged in and shoved his mother aside.

"What are you doing, you old woman?!"

"No wonder you're that woman's mother; you're two of a kind!"

"Looks like stopping your medical support didn't teach you a lesson!"

His mother fell hard against the table, her forehead hitting the edge, blood flowing freely.

My heart ached terribly, tears streaming as I tried to help her.

But the living and the dead are worlds apart, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't touch her.

His mother looked at Lu Jingchuan with hatred. "For what you've done to me and my daughter, even in death, we won't forgive you!"

"Is that so?" Lu Jingchuan sneered, signaling his bodyguards who brought in a man bound and struggling.

The man was Shen Jin'an!

The bodyguards threw Shen Jin'an to the ground.

Lu Jingchuan placed his foot on Shen Jin'an's head.

Listening to Shen Jin'an's cries, Lu Jingchuan spoke slowly, "Isn't this man a lackey of the Zhou family?"

"You've upset me today. Maybe I should stew this dog first?"

His mother's expression changed instantly.

This was Shen Jin'an, as dear as a son to her!

"He's a doctor, right?" Lu Jingchuan's eyes shifted to Shen Jin'an's hands.

In the next moment, he picked up a dagger and stabbed it into Shen Jin'an's wrist.

Shen Jin'an screamed in agony!

"Remember, everything you're suffering today is because you helped Zhou Nan bully Wanwan. If Zhou Nan had shown up, you wouldn't have to endure this!"

Lu Jingchuan laughed triumphantly.

His mother, trembling, crawled towards him. "No!"

Her eyes reddened as she bit her lip and knelt down.

She was a traditional aristocratic lady, having lived a life of comfort, never having suffered like this.

When Lu Jingchuan came to the Zhou family, she treated him with utmost care.

But because of Lu Jingchuan, her family was ruined, her life turned upside down.

And now, she bent her proud back, trembling as she begged, "Lu Jingchuan, please, let us go. Let Nan Nan go!"
