My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 194
Chapter 194 A Bolt from the Blue
“Young mistress!” Bian Zijun rushed over from afar and held her in time, screaming out of fear.
Following that, Mu Yu quivered and abruptly woke up. She quickly grabbed his sleeve and asked, “Did something really happen to Huan? How is he now?”
When she was asking, she felt her throat getting dry and even her voice croaked as she was close to tears due to the bolt from the blue.
“Young mistress, you don’t look good. Let’s take a seat in there.”
Feeling a bad hunch, she shoved him hard and started wailing. “Tell me, what happened to him?”
Bian Zijun took a step backward and stared at her with sorrowful eyes but remained silent.
In fact, the incident had happened at the factory to the north of the city in the evening. At that time, Qin Jinhuan hurriedly brought Wen Zeyu over to the location. Before his departure, he sent Bian Zijun to prepare the nutritional meal and take care of Mu Yu. He even threatened Bian Zijun not to tell her the truth because she was pregnant and should not be agitated for a safe pregnancy.
Therefore, when he heard from his coworker twenty minutes ago that the factory collapsed again, which caused Qin Jinhuan and other rescuers to be trapped under the rubble, he felt extremely anxious but pretended to look calm on the surface. He feared that his emotions would betray him and affect Mu Yu’s pregnancy.
In the past twenty minutes, he had been praying for Qin Jinhuan’s safety, hoping that he would call Mu Yu personally to announce his safe return. Unfortunately, before they received good news from the incident location, Mu Yu was notified of the accident and almost fainted to his horror. Even though she regained consciousness, she was still in an emotional turmoil.
Fearing that she would faint again from agitation, he wanted to find an excuse to placate her but he was not good at lying. On top of that, he was anxious and could not think of anything good.
After a few seconds, Mu Yu sensed that he was hesitant to speak, which prompted her to immediately imagine the worst case scenario. Out of the blue, she burst into tears and ran toward the entrance.
“Hey! Young mistress, there’s a misunderstanding… Boss did not… Hey!” Bian Zijun instantly ran after her as he yelled frantically, “Young mistress, slow down! Look out for your baby!”
Mu Yu ignored his reminder and dashed all the way to the main entrance, crying while calling Qin Jinhuan’s number, at the same time attempting to hail a cab.
“Sorry, the number you have called cannot be reached at this time. Please try again later.” When the automated voice repeated over the line, Mu Yu cried louder than before.
Perhaps it was due to the cold weather, no cab was seen at the entrance of the city bureau that had always been packed with cabs. The only vehicle appeared when Bian Zijun drove his car over.
“Young mistress, please get into the car. It’s cold outside.” He swiftly opened the back passenger door for her.
“Drive me to the factory.”
“Sure. Get on now.”
She then hopped into the car.
“Ouch!”
“Be careful! Are you okay?” Bian Zijun hurriedly reached out to support Mu Yu, who had stumbled onto the seat.
After she steadied herself, she inched into the car with the support of his arm and gently replied, “I’m fine. Quick, start the car.”
“Oh.” Seeing that she had taken a seat, Bian Zijun closed the car door and went into the driver’s seat to start the car as he turned the heater to the warmest setting.
He could tell that Mu Yu had stumbled because her hands were numb from being exposed to the cold. However, she didn’t realize the numbness due to her worries for Qin Jinhuan. That was why she placed her hand onto the seat, which caused her to lose her balance.
“Why would the dorm collapse? Who went with Huan? Didn’t they know about the danger when they went to the rescue? Why didn’t they hire a professional rescue team?” With a shivering voice, she fired a couple of questions at him while warming up her hands in front of the heater.
“It’s an old dorm at the factory in the north. The building has been scheduled to be demolished after Lunar New Year. Most workers have moved away and only two workers with families in financial difficulty planned to save a month’s rent by staying on until the dorm is demolished. But no one saw this coming. Boss went to the scene with President Wen because they had been at the crime scene at the shopping mall construction site, which was close to the factory.”
“When they were at the dorm, the firemen had not arrived. Boss was too eager to rescue the workers and ordered everyone around to enter the scene and rescue them. After rescuing the first family, Boss had President Wen bring them to the hospital. He then re-entered the scene with Weng Yun and some others to search for the second family. The dorm unexpectedly collapsed further and they’re all buried in the rubble,” Bian Zijun suppressed his fear and patiently responded to all her queries.
“He’s with Weng Yun? Is Weng Yun’s phone reachable?” Mu Yu’s eyes lit up and sat up with concern, hoping for an optimistic answer.
“The line is reachable but no one took the call.” Bian Zijun lowered his voice because he was aware of the meaning behind his answer.
“What about the others?”
“They are reachable by phone, and they’re all trapped at the deepest part of the rubble. Although they’re injured, they are thankfully not in critical condition and are waiting for rescue. But they’re not with Weng Yun and Boss, so they had no clue about the two’s situation.” In order not to add more pressure on Mu Yu, he quickly changed his tone. “Boss will surely be fine. His phone is probably broken.”
“If his phone was merely broken, why did Weng Yun not pick up the call?” Feeling as if the sky had fallen on her, she could stand it no more and started sobbing heavily.
“Young mistress, you must take care of yourself! You’re still pregnant. If Boss sees you crying, he’d be super worried.” Bian Zijun was driving and dared not turn around to face her. He could only console her for now.
“I want to make him worried!” Suddenly, Mu Yu bellowed at him between sobs. “I want to worry him to death so that he will remember not to get into accidents!”
“Boss is a lucky man. He’ll definitely be safe!” Bian Zijun appeared to be comforting Mu Yu but his words of reassurance were also for himself.
After that, Mu Yu remained silent while making repeated calls to Qin Jinhuan’s number. She sobbed and prayed for God to show mercy to Qin Jinhuan.
Knowing that it was useless to comfort her, Bian Zijun kept quiet and tried his best to speed. He wanted to rush to the scene as soon as possible to check out the situation, but due to the slippery roads in the winter and the presence of a pregnant passenger, he dared not accelerate too much. He could only suppress his anxiety on their way over, using his free time to also check for updates in the group chat.
Half an hour later, their car finally entered the road leading to the north. At that time, Bian Zijun’s phone buzzed. He immediately took the call seeing that it was from Cheng Xiang.
“What? Boss is safe now? That’s great!” He swiftly pulled the car over and turned around to inform Mu Yu. “Young mistress, Boss is… Young mistress! What happened?”
The sight of her lying limply on the backseat freaked him out, and he immediately rushed down the car into the back seat to push at her. Noticing that she had seemed to lose consciousness, he quickly pinched at her philtrum while calling the ambulance. It took her a while to grunt lowly and mumbled Qin Jinhuan’s name.
“Young mistress, Boss is safe now! He’s rescued out of the rubble!”
Mu Yu stared blankly at him without any response as she repeatedly mumbled Qin Jinhuan’s nickname.
Her odd behavior shocked Bian Zijun, who gave another frantic call to Cheng Xiang. When he heard that Qin Jinhuan had been lifted into the ambulance, he briefly updated Cheng Xiang regarding Mu Yu’s condition and requested him to check on Qin Jinhuan’s injuries. If Qin Jinhuan was not badly hurt, Bian Zijun wanted Cheng Xiang to inform his superior about Mu Yu’s condition.
Soon, Qin Jinhuan called him back with Cheng Xiang’s phone to check on Mu Yu’s condition before ordering him to take good care of her.
Not long after, an ambulance arrived at the scene and brought her to the emergency unit at a hospital north of the city. At the same time, Qin Jinhuan was rushing to the same hospital in the shortest time possible.
“Doctor, how’s my wife?” The moment the doors of the emergency room were opened, Qin Jinhuan who had been camping at the doors immediately grabbed a doctor and inquired. The doctor was taken aback by his attack and yelled, “She is okay!”
“Is she really fine? Nothing wrong?”
“Nothing! She was only in shock and has recovered. If you don’t believe me, go see for yourself.”
Before the doctor could finish his sentence, Qin Jinhuan had let go of him and ran into the emergency room.
The doctor secretly sighed in relief and wanted to flee but was stopped by Huang Bo and Cheng Xiang.
“W-What are you doing?” The doctor cowered and took a step back.
Taking a glance at the emergency room, Huang Bo warned, “Before our young mistress is out of the emergency room and is confirmed safe, you cannot leave.”
“B-But she’s safe now. She…”
“Doctor! Doctor?” Qin Jinhuan’s scream was heard from the emergency room, to which the doctor responded with a horrified look, fearing what would happen next.
Huang Bo and Cheng Xiang misunderstood the situation. Thinking that Mu Yu must have been in danger, they looked terrified and pushed the doctor into the emergency room.
“Doctor, how’s my child?”
“Your child?” The doctor stared at him puzzled. “The ambulance only sent your wife over. We’ve not seen your child! Was your child in the car too?”
“Huan!” Mu Yu who was lying on a trolley bed whispered a warning, “Be nice to the doctor. Look, he’s terrified at you.”
Then, she turned around to face the pale and anxious doctor, apologizing to him feebly, “My husband was asking you about my baby in my womb.”
“You’re carrying a child? You’re pregnant?” The doctor rushed up to check on her complexion. He then glanced at Qin Jinhuan in embarrassment and asked weakly, “Can you make space? I will take her pulse.”
Upon hearing that, Qin Jinhuan immediately stepped aside. The doctor carefully took Mu Yu’s pulse.
“Huh? Hmm…” When Qin Jinhuan saw the doctor frowning, he got nervous and kept asking, “How is it?”
After some time, the doctor placed her hand back and shrunk his neck with an apologetic explanation. “I’m sorry but I’m not a gynecologist. Please wait here. I will immediately get an experienced colleague to check on her.”
Without waiting for Qin Jinhuan’s reply, he quickly shuffled out of the room. Mu Yu instantly struggled to get up. “Huan, do you think that something happened to the baby…”
“Definitely not!” He immediately held her and comforted her, “Didn’t you hear the doctor? This is the job of a gynecologist. He knows nothing about it.”
Mu Yu then cried out loud. “But I feel a pain in my stomach! Could I have miscarried?”
“Stop the nonsense!” He hugged her with an arm and pointed at the lower half of her body. “If you had miscarried, you would have bled a lot. No hemorrhage means that the baby is safe! Good girl. Don’t overthink. The gynecologist will be here soon.”
As he was speaking, a short and plump doctor in white robe marched in and gestured at Qin Jinhuan to lay Mu Yu flat on the bed, during which she seated herself beside the patient and started taking the pulse carefully. Ten seconds later, the gynecologist furrowed her brows.
