Pregnant After Healing the Alpha-Chapter 338 - 328: Zhan Qipei’s Anxiety and Rage
Chapter 338: Chapter 328: Zhan Qipei’s Anxiety and Rage
“Could you lend these to me for a moment?”
After she pressed a few acupoints, the bleeding slowed down considerably, and all that was needed now was to bandage it.
The nurses were stunned and asked.
“Eh? What do you need these for? I’m about to dress your wound.”
With an expressionless face, Qiao Jing poured hydrogen peroxide on her wound and then skillfully bandaged it herself without needing anyone else’s help.
The nurses were shocked to see Qiao Jing grab the hydrogen peroxide and pour it on herself without hesitation.
...
Hydrogen peroxide causes a lot of pain when it comes into contact with a wound, especially a fresh one—the pain almost doubles.
Yet, the patient in front of them didn’t show any sign of pain on her face while disinfecting, as if she couldn’t feel the pain at all.
And that bandaging technique was even more professional and faster than theirs, leaving them momentarily confused as to who was the patient and who was the medical staff.
After treating her wound, Qiao Jing leaned against the car and closed her eyes.
The excessive blood loss made her feel quite weak; she needed a good rest.
Seeing that Qiao Jing was resting, Su Manhan didn’t dare to disturb her and sent Zhan Qipei a message, briefly summarizing the situation.
“Qipei, come to the hospital quickly, I was just robbed, it was Qiao Jing who saved me, she got hurt.”
Zhan Qipei’s call came through immediately.
“Mom, what happened? Where is Qiao Jing hurt?”
Su Manhan opened her mouth, shifted to the side, and lowered her voice to explain.
“She took a knife for me, her arm is injured, and the wound is very deep.”
As soon as she finished speaking, hurried footsteps could be heard from the other end of the phone.
Zhan Qipei frowned deeply, walked swiftly into the elevator with a frosty face, forcibly suppressing his anger.
“What exactly happened?”
Su Manhan felt her son’s oppressive atmosphere through the phone, steadied her mind, and recounted the whole incident.
The sound of a car engine starting was heard from Zhan Qipei’s side, and the call was then disconnected.
Inside the hospital.
Zhan Qipei stared at Qiao Jing’s sleeping face, her complexion somewhat pale, her lips colorless, making her appear very frail.
He reached out to smooth the furrows in Qiao Jing’s brow, while his other hand was placed on her stomach, gently caressing.
His eyes fell on the wound, and his gaze suddenly darkened, a fierce glint flashing in the depths of his black eyes, but what was more in his eyes was heartache and self-reproach.
He had failed to protect Qiao Jing once again, letting her fall into danger, and this time she was seriously injured…
Zhan Qipei’s hand rested on the gauze that covered the wound, his fingertips trembling slightly.
Qiao Jing suddenly muttered something in her sleep, startling him enough to immediately withdraw his hand.
Watching the sleeping Qiao Jing, he bent down and left a warm kiss on her smooth forehead.
A moment later, Zhan Qipei sat up straight, holding Qiao Jing’s somewhat cold hand, wanting to transfer all his warmth to her.
When he recalled what Su Manhan had said about “Blondie,” dangerous light flickered in his eyes as he looked at Qiao Jing’s wound.
He would find and deal with each person that harmed Qiao Jing.
Meanwhile, outside the hospital room’s corridor.
Su Manhan stood with her arms folded, silent, staring at Lou Xinrou across from her.
Lou Xinrou knew Su Manhan was angry, but how could she possibly have gone back in that situation?!
However, seeing Su Manhan’s attitude towards Qiao Jing, she became very anxious.
Was Aunt Su also going to side with Qiao Jing? That can’t be!
Aunt Su was her last trump card at the Zhan Family!
Lou Xinrou put on a weak and scared facade, and asked.
“Aunt Su, are you angry with me?”
Su Manhan huffed coldly, her attitude toward Lou Xinrou had become more than a little frosty as she questioned her.
“What do you think? I asked you to come back and help me, and you wouldn’t. If it weren’t for Qiao Jing coming to my rescue, do you know what would’ve happened?!”
Without waiting for Lou Xinrou to answer, she continued.
“You knew, but you still didn’t come back to save me, even though I’ve been so good to you. And when it came to crunch time, you chose to run away by yourself.”
Su Manhan wasn’t a fool; given that Lou Xinrou was capable of doing such a thing, it meant there was something inherently wrong with her.

She wouldn’t give Lou Xinrou another chance to get close to her. Indeed, Nanqing was right.
Lou Xinrou was no longer the Xinrou they knew.
After hearing Su Manhan’s words, Lou Xinrou was in a panic, squeezing out a few tears and looking pitifully at the other woman.
“Aunt Su, I was just too scared at the time, I’m really sorry, but I was really scared of them, and that caused me to lose my head…”
As she said this, Lou Xinrou had a flash of insight, trying to divert Su Manhan’s attention, tentatively beginning to speak.
“By the way, Aunt Su, could this all be a coincidence? Why did Qiao Jing suddenly appear when we were being robbed? Could it be—”
Su Manhan cut her off directly, no longer willing to believe a word she said.
“Enough! What are you trying to say? Are you suggesting Qiao Jing set this up on purpose? And then she came to rescue me, to make me change my opinion of her?”
Lou Xinrou’s eyes brightened, and just as she was about to nod, Su Manhan’s next words made her freeze where she stood.
“She got hurt trying to save me, and I believe her. Besides, even if it were a setup by her, you chose to abandon me. From now on, don’t come looking for me!”
After saying this, Su Manhan walked into the hospital room without looking back and closed the door.
In the hallway, Lou Xinrou was left alone, staring blankly at the door of the hospital room with a fierce hatred spreading across her face.
It was all because of Qiao Jing; it was all Qiao Jing’s fault!
Not only had Qiao Jing caused her rift with Zhan Nanqing, but now Aunt Su wouldn’t help her either!
This robbery must have been a trap set by Qiao Jing just so Aunt Su would see her differently. Why wouldn’t Aunt Su believe her words?
Lou Xinrou clenched her fists tightly, her features twisted in a grotesque snarl, her eyes filled with malicious venom.
Why hadn’t that knife killed Qiao Jing?!
The more she thought, the more she hated!
–
The next morning.
Qiao Jing slowly opened her sleepy eyes, her nostrils filled with the smell of disinfectant, which brought her a bit more into consciousness.
She attempted to lift her hand only to find it was being held, impossible to pull away.
Qiao Jing was taken aback, glancing to the side to find Zhan Qipei fast asleep at the side of the bed, his suit crumpled and his hair messy, not much different from a bird’s nest.
She could guess why the man looked so disheveled; a similar scene had unfolded during her previous hospital stay.
The morning sunlight poured in through the hospital room window, casting a gentle light on Zhan Qipei’s face.
Qiao Jing’s gaze softened unconsciously, and only after sitting up did she notice that the man was sitting on a hard, uncomfortable bench.
To take care of her by the bed, he hadn’t gone to sit on the soft sofa on the other side, and there was a laptop on the table, clearly showing he had stayed the night in the hospital room.
A warm current flowed through her heart, stirring emotions deep within.
She slowly tried to pull her hand away from Zhan Qipei’s grip, but as soon as she moved, the man opened his eyes.
Qiao Jing hadn’t expected her motion to wake him and asked quietly,
“Did I wake you up?”
Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s voice, Zhan Qipei immediately woke up, the first thing he did was reach for the call button.
“You’re awake? Wait a moment, I’ll get the doctor to come check on you.”
