If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 2: She’s Two Months Pregnant

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Shen Chi held Xu Zhaomu in his arms. Lowering his head, he gazed at her face.

After five years of separation, she had grown a lot. Apart from her propensity to make things difficult for him, everything else about her had changed.

The little face, which used to be composed of baby fat, had now become delicate and pretty. Her eyebrows were long and shapely. She had an adorable nose and pink, tender lips.

His fingers touched her pale cheeks. They didn’t seem very warm. One second later, his eyes froze.

His scorching gaze stared fixedly at her snow-white neck. There, a thin necklace with a rose engraving was hidden in a nook of her collar.

His large hands tugged at it forcefully, and the necklace soon broke free.

His blood boiled, and his eyes became frosty. A rose necklace… Who gave it to her?

He could still remember that he had once given her a jade pendant necklace.

Did she get rid of it?

He clenched his teeth and gripped the rose necklace in his hands viciously. Then he opened the window and tossed the necklace outside with a sinister expression on his face.

“We’ve reached the hospital, Mr. Shen.”

Old Chen swung the steering wheel and parked the car in the hospital’s parking lot.

“Mmm.”

Shen Chi got out of the car with Xu Zhaomu in his arms. He dashed toward the emergency room.

“Chenglang…Chenglang…it hurts…”

Her head throbbed in pain. Xu Zhaomu was in so such much pain that she tightened her grip on Shen Chi’s arm.

At that moment, Shen Chi suddenly froze. Chenglang? Was this the man she’d mentioned before? The one whose bed she claimed to have climbed into?

His eyes looked like blocks of ice, and the blood in his entire body seemed to have congealed. His icy palms gripped tightly onto Xu Zhaomu’s body as he burned with anger.

“It hurts…it hurts…”

Hatred had permeated into Shen Chi’s bones. He forgot that his hands were currently pinching Xu Zhaomu’s tender skin.

The instant this thought had surfaced in his mind, he’d really wanted to throttle her to death.

Five years ago, she had uttered, “Fourth Brother, I like you,” with her arms wrapped around his neck. Five years later, she had climbed into another man’s bed.

“Xu Zhaomu, you are truly shameless.” The iciness in his voice could have pervaded her soul.

“Mr. Shen, the doctor is here.”

As Shen Chi stood outside the entrance of the ward, a doctor clad in a white coat walked in behind Old Chen.

Shen Chi kicked the doors of the ward open with a grim face, before carrying Xu Zhaomu over and laying her onto the hospital bed.

He wasn’t being heavy-handed, but he’d still managed to inflict pain on her anyway. She clutched her lower abdomen and furrowed her brows. Her dress was covered in creases as she gripped her stomach forcefully.

“Can the two of you please exit the room.” The doctor pushed his spectacles up, before putting on his stethoscope.

“Mmm.”

Shen Chi grunted coldly. With large strides, he walked out of the ward.

“Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

Old Chen noticed Shen Chi’s unsightly complexion. However, he could only comfort him in this manner. After all, he had no idea what had transpired between the two of them.

The clock on the wall ticked as time passed by, one second at a time. After some time, a few nurses walked into the ward.

Not long later, a nurse walked out. Old Chen understood Shen Chi’s worries. Hence, he hurriedly stopped the nurse.

“Is the patient inside in any danger?” Old Chen was also quite anxious.

“She went into shock after an episode of hypoglycemia. But don’t worry, it’s not a life-threatening situation.” After the nurse said this, she left in haste.

Old Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Mr. Shen, relax. Nothing will happen to little Zhaomu.”

“As if I care, I can’t wait for her to die.”

Shen Chi hardened his face and remained completely expressionless. He clenched his fists, causing the veins on the back of his hands to bulge.

.

Umm…Old Chen was at a loss of words. What was Shen Chi talking about?

When little Zhaomu had left the Shen family five years ago, Mr. Shen was the one who had searched for her the most frantically. He had overturned the entire C City.

Unfortunately, little Zhaomu had disappeared from the face of the earth and not a trace of her could be found. There wasn’t even a single phone call or letter from her.

Henceforth, no one dared to bring up the words Xu Zhaomu in front of Shen Chi.

“Can the relatives of the patient please follow me inside.”

When the door opened, the doctor wearing a white coat came over. He removed his surgical mask before scanning the area outside the ward.

“I am.” Shen Chi walked forward.

“Please come in.”

Shen Chi followed the doctor into the ward. The nurses in the ward tidied everything up swiftly before taking their leave.

Only Shen Chi, Xu Zhaomu, and the doctor were left in the empty ward that smelled like medicine.

An IV line had already been set up on Xu Zhaomu’s arm. Attached to it was a bottle that appeared to be filled with a grape-colored substance.

The doctor picked up a pen, before quickly starting to take notes.

“How are you related to the patient?”

“Husband.” Shen Chi replied nonchalantly.

He walked over to Xu Zhaomu’s bed and swept her damp stray hair to the side. Then he wiped the dirt off her body with a tissue.

As Shen Chi wiped the bloodstains off her arms, his chest tightened and he frowned.

“How may I address you?”

“My family name is Shen.”

“Mr. Shen, your wife isn’t suffering from anything major. She is merely in temporary shock due to her low blood sugar. She only needs someone to stay by her side to take care of her. I will also prescribe some medicine for her. However, your wife is currently two months pregnant. She needs to remain in the hospital for some time so that we can monitor her.”

The hand that was holding the tissue froze in midair. Shen Chi turned his head and glared at the doctor in shock.

“What did you just say?”

“I said that Mrs. Shen isn’t suffering from anything major.”

“The last sentence.”

“Your wife…is currently two months pregnant…” The doctor was feeling uneasy. The man was glaring at him in a frightening manner.

“Repeat that one more time!”

Shen Chi grabbed the collar of the doctor’s white coat. He had lost all sense of reasoning.

The pen in the doctor’s hand fell onto the ground. The doctor fished out a report from a pile of papers hastily.

“Mr. Shen, please calm down. We recently received this report, please have a look. Mrs. Shen is certainly two months pregnant…”

The doctor shoved the report into Shen Chi’s hands before grabbing his pen and walking out of the ward.

Shen Chi fixed his eyes on that small line of words on the report: eight weeks pregnant.

He felt almost as though a knife had been stabbed into his heart. His entire face turned into a frightening shade of black. The frostiness in his eyes was so apparent that crystals of ice seemed to appear.

“Good…very good. Xu Zhaomu, you are really cruel!”

With a few tears, Shen Chi shredded the report into many tiny pieces, before smashing them forcefully onto Xu Zhaomu’s body.

On the bed, Xu Zhaomu did not respond. Her hand was still resting on her belly in a protective way. Her face was pale and her brows were knitted.

Shen Chi’s gaze was as piercing as a scorching sun as he stared at Xu Zhaomu’s abdomen.

On the surface, it was impossible to tell that she was pregnant, probably because she was only two months in.

Shen Chi slowly bent down. His large palm pressed against her abdomen and caressed it…

The spawn of another man was residing in her belly.

“It hurts…,” Xu Zhaomu murmured with her eyes closed. The hand that was not attached to an IV line clawed helplessly in the air.

He couldn’t care less about the struggle she put up. With his large hands, he continued to exert a significant amount of strength as he felt around her flat abdomen. Gradually, he drew closer to her ears. In a soft but frosty voice, he said, “Xu Zhaomu, listen to me. Don’t blame me for being cruel. I definitely will not allow you to keep this child.”

His hot breath brushed against Xu Zhaomu’s ear. She seemed to have heard his words, yet, at the same time, it didn’t seem like she had heard him.

“Chenglang…take me away… Chenglang…”

Shen Chi’s eyes grew more malicious. All his anger surged into his hand and he clutched Xu Zhaomu’s neck.

“Who is Chenglang?” Shen Chi roared.

As he choked her, Xu Zhaomu started to have difficulty breathing. Her tiny face turned bright red.

“Urgh, urgh…” She could still struggle at the start, but soon, she her strength waned.

Shen Chi obviously didn’t mean to choke her to death. Once her complexion seemed to turn pale, he released his hand and pushed her down onto the bed.

Disregarding the fact that this was a hospital ward, he stood by the window and lit up a cigarette. Cigarette smoke lingered in the air. He whipped out his phone and called a number.

“Director Tan, help me arrange for an abortion. Right away!”
