Chapter 733: Hiding Her

When she heard Yu Chenshi鈥檚 voice, a sense of unease welled up in Ling Tianya鈥檚 heart. Yet, she didn鈥檛 tell Yu Chenshi the truth.

Yu Chenshi was innocent, and Ling Tianya didn鈥檛 want her to have to agonize over the wrongdoings committed by Yu Meizi in her old age.

Besides, Ling Tianya genuinely didn鈥檛 want to lose Yu Chenshi. If Yu Chenshi knew the truth, she would definitely feel guilty towards Ling Tianya and would not want to trouble Ling Tianya again. She might even disappear from Ling Tianya鈥檚 life forever. That wasn鈥檛 what Ling Tianya wanted.

Ling Tianya promised to investigate the matter while comforting Yu Chenshi and telling her not to worry anymore.

Ling Tianya told Yu Chenshi that Yu Meizi had quarreled with Zhang Chao and thus had left with Zhang Zihao.

After she heard that Yu Meizi and Zhang Chao had only quarreled, Yu Chenshi鈥檚 heart was finally at ease. Anyways, Yu Meizi had disappeared for so many years before. Yu Chenshi didn鈥檛 pay too much attention to it this time. Yu Chenshi had already given up hope on her daughter. Now, she only wanted to know that Yu Meizi was safe. As for where Yu Meizi was, she didn鈥檛 care anymore.

Yu Meizi had cruelly left the severely ill Zhang Chao behind in the hospital. The hospital couldn鈥檛 contact Yu Meizi and had to go through the police to get in touch with Zhang Chao鈥檚 older brother.

Though Zhang Chao鈥檚 older brother hadn鈥檛 been in contact for many years when he came to the hospital and saw his dying younger brother, a wave of disgust still came over him.

When Zhang Chao鈥檚 brother鈥檚 family first saw the state Zhang Chao was in, they thought of getting some compensation. However, when they heard from the police that Zhang Chao was stabbed because he was trying to rape a young girl, they instantly lost their feelings of indignance.

When they heard that the other party was a mentally ill girl and that Zhang Chao could be charged with attempted rape any time, they completely killed the thought of acquiring compensation.

Zhang Chao鈥檚 brother鈥檚 family didn鈥檛 have a lot of money. They hadn鈥檛 had any contact with Zhang Chao for many years either, so even if they did have money, they wouldn鈥檛 want to spend it on him.

In the end, Zhang Chao was carried out of the hospital by his brother鈥檚 family while still in that state. The doctor judged that without any form of treatment, Zhang Chao wouldn鈥檛 be able to live more than a month. After going back, he would just be waiting for death.

In a blink of an eye, Ling Tianya had gone from being seven-and-a-half months pregnant to eight-and-a-half months pregnant.

Because of everything that was happening in the Ling family, plus the matter with Yu Meizi, Ling Tianya was exhausted both mentally and physically. Her emotions had also been very unstable. Over the past month, she had felt a slight pain in her tummy numerous times.

The first few times, Ling Tianya had forced herself to quietly endure it. She didn鈥檛 want to cause the elders in the Ruan family to panic, nor did she want Ruan Zeyan to worry about her.

However, after another few times, she couldn鈥檛 hold it in anymore. The pain made her extremely uneasy.

In the end, she couldn鈥檛 keep the tummy cramps a secret from the Ruan family. Ruan Zeyan immediately took her to the hospital. Afterward, in order to make Ling Tianya rest, he moved the doctor and medical equipment into the house.

However, the advice given by the doctor was more or less useless. The baby鈥檚 position was not ideal, and her cramps were being caused by big changes in her emotions as well as over-exertion on both her body and mind. The doctor had already told her to rest properly, and if she had listened, the cramps wouldn鈥檛 have been so bad. Now, they could only monitor the condition of both the mother and child. The moment anything went wrong, the doctor would immediately perform a C-section.

Ling Tianya was forbidden to leave the house. Ruan Zeyan even ordered her not to leave the room, not even the bed.

She felt as if she was being hidden away by Ruan Zeyan, and he put aside all his work to guard her all day. If she made any slight movements, he would immediately come over and anxiously ask if she was feeling unwell.
