Chapter 391: Who do you want to save?

Liang Xiao Dan stumbled in a daze as she watched Nana unconscious.

“Nana!” She cried and went to her side. “Dear, what happened? Why…”

Liang Zou was so mad that he wanted to strangle those culprits right this instant. His hands were itching to torture them.

Shin quickly checked on her. It was difficult for him not to flip out in anger right now.

Who did this? Who hit her that bad?

The twins cried again.

“Chunhua. Hold Jian. I will take care of Nian.” Grandma Liu worriedly said.

Liu Chunhua burst into tears, seeing Nana in such a pathetic state. She wanted to go to her side, but Jian and Nian needed somebody to tend to them too.

Grandma Liu and Liu Chunhua took them in their arms, but they refused to stop crying. Xiang Qingge anxiously helped them with the twins too.

Shin took Nana’s pulse and found that it was too weak.

Jinhai repeatedly pecked her face with soft kisses and only whispered one thing like a mantra. “Nana, please wake up. Nana, please wake up. Please, please…”

Xiang Huian was stupefied. “This…who could do this…?”

Liu Hai quickly said, “We have to take them to the hospital.”

“I have already called for an ambulance.” Shin said.

Chen Liling and Chen Guiren went over to Serena’s side. “Jianyu! What happened to her?”

Her heart ached to see the bruises on Serena’s face. Her wounds were even deeper than Nana’s since Tang Feng hit her, and he being a man, his slap was harsher and stronger as compared to Tang Ning’s slaps.

“M-mom…” Jianyu trembled, “S-she said that somebody hit her belly. She is in pain.”

The Chen couple widened their eyes in shock. “What!?”

Shin heard it too and quickly went over to Serena’s side. “I think she is in labor.”

Jianyu bit his lip hard. “Serena. Don’t worry, okay? You will be fine.”

The moment he came inside, he forgot all about his hatred for her. The only thing he saw was Serena crying in pain. The only thing he felt was for her and their child to be safe.

Serena gasped. “Jianyu…child…don’t want to lose him…”

“Ssh!” Jianyu pressed his lips on her forehead. “You will be fine, and so will be our child! Don’t talk nonsense!”

Serena faintly smiled while tears were glistening in her eyes.

“T-this is the first time…you c-called him…as our child…” she whispered.

Jianyu his fingers through her cheek. “Idiot.”

Chen Liling bent down and rubbed her hands to make her feel better. She cried and said, “Don’t worry, child. Everything will be fine. Stay strong, please…”

They heard the ambulance siren ringing from outside.

“Let’s go.”

—

City X Hospital.

Nana and Serena were immediately taken to the operation theater. The whole three floors were vacated instantly for their private use. The Liu, Chen, and Liang family guards immediately took their positions and didn’t allow anybody to enter from outside.

Outside Serena’s ward, Jianyu was anxiously pacing back and forth. He was sweating hard, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t calm down.

Naturally, Shin arranged for the best gynecologist for her delivery.

“Aaaaahhhh…”

Serena’s painful screams echoed in the corridor. Her every cry sent a throbbing pain in his chest. The doctor came out after a few minutes.

Jianyu rushed towards him. “Doctor! How is Serena?”

“Mr. Chen. Unfortunately, there are some complications in the delivery. She would not be able to give natural birth. We have to go for caesarian.”

Jianyu nodded. “Do whatever you think is right, but I want her and our baby safe!”

The doctor hesitated and said, “There is one other thing.”

“What?”

“The complications in Miss Serena’s surgery can…be fatal to her life. There are high chances that perhaps we would be able to save either or the baby.”

Jianyu blankly looked at the doctor. Chen Liling covered her mouth in disbelief.

“What…?”

“Yes, Mr. Chen. Obviously, we would try our best to save both the mother and child, but if we are forced to choose one, then I wanted to know your decision. Who do you want us to save? Miss Serena or the baby?”

At that moment, Jianyu felt completely numb.

Either Serena or the baby…?

He hated Serena for betraying him. He hated her for using him. Shouldn’t it be easy for him to decide? He waited for his child for so long. He tolerated her for the past months only because he wanted his child. He wanted the satisfaction to snatch him away from Serena and see her miserable.

But even after all this, in his heart, Jianyu already knew his answer.

Chen Liling softly held his arm and smiled. “Jianyu. I already know your decision. We fully support you.”

Chen Guiren patted his shoulder and nodded.

Tears rolled down his cheeks as Jianyu said, “Save Serena.”

Jinhai stood like an immovable rock in front of Nana’s ward. He said nothing. There was not a single expression on his face. Yet the aura he exuded was so dangerous and dark as if he wanted to destroy the whole world.

Liu Hai and Jing tried to talk to him, but he didn’t respond to them either. He was only waiting for any news about Nana.

Grandma Liu stomped her foot. “Liu Jinhai. Stop giving that menacing expression. Nana will be alright. My heart says so!”

He said nothing.

She pursed her lips and sat beside him, holding Jian in her arms. Then she quietly lifted him and placed a crying Jian in his lap.

“Your sons need you too, Jinhai.” She softly sobbed and whispered.

Jian’s presence slowly affected him. He lowered his head to see his son flailing his hands towards him.

“Waaaaaahhh…”

Jinhai lifted him in a trance and brought him closer to his chest.

“Give me Nian.” Jinhai plainly said without much emotion.

Liu Chunhua quickly handed Nian to Jinhai too. She helped him, but he declined it.

“I can do it myself.” There was a tinge of coldness in his voice.

He supported the babies in his arms at the same time. Jian and Nian finally seemed to calm down as they smelled their father’s familiar scent.

They curled up in his embrace and clutched his shirt hard as they stopped crying.

Jinhai stared at them and lowered his head to kiss their cheeks.

“Nothing will happen to Mama. I promise. Whoever did this to her will have to pay a heavy price.” Jinhai silently promised to his children.
