The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting-Chapter 488 - The Last Time

Chapter 488: The Last Time

Shui Anluo was helping the housekeeper to control her power and had no time to pay attention to what was underneath her feet. Naturally, she did not notice Yuan Jiayi’s little movements.

“Ahh…” Shui Anluo stumbled a little and could not reduce her momentum. Her body immediately toppled forward.

“Miss Shui…” Yuan Jiayi gasped. She made as if she wanted to reach her hand out and pull Shui Anluo back but was sent tumbling down the steps with Shui Anluo.

“Luoluo…”

“Wah…”

Chu Ningyi gasped in shock as the little darling burst into tears.

Shui Anluo tumbled down the steps. Finally, her head collided against the edge of the final step. She did not seem to be conscious.

Yuan Jiayi, who had tumbled down to the very bottom as well, lay with her head slanted as if she had lost consciousness as well.

Chu Ningyi strode down but did not even look at Yuan Jiayi. Instead, he knelt by Shui Anluo’s side and held her hand with one hand. “Luoluo, Luoluo…”

“Oh no, Mrs. Chu’s head is bleeding!” The housekeeper cried out.

Chu Ningyi saw that blood was trickling from the back of Shui Anluo’s head and a cold light flashed across his eyes again. He handed the bawling little darling to the housekeeper and quickly carried Shui Anluo up. He then turned around to head down. “Come with me.”

“But Miss Yuan…” Although the housekeeper was asking about Yuan Jiayi, she still carried the crying little baby down as well, seemingly unconcerned about the concussed Yuan Jiayi.

Chu Ningyi did not seem to hear what the housekeeper had said and only moved faster.

Chu Ningyi arrived at the foot of the hill and carried Shui Anluo into the car. He asked Uncle Chu to stay and take care of the little darling as well as call an ambulance to come to get Yuan Jiayi. He would send Shui Anluo to the hospital first.

Even though Uncle Chu did not know what had happened, he did not ask too many questions after seeing the gravity of the issue and watched Chu Ningyi leave instead. Not long after that, he saw the panting housekeeper carry the baby over.

Chu Ningyi drove the car at lightning speed. The girl in the passenger’s seat was very pale. A patch of blood slowly formed on the seat as the car moved along.

Chu Ningyi held Shui Anluo’s hand in one hand as he softly murmured, “Luoluo, hold on for just a little longer.” Chu Ningyi continued to blame himself internally, he should have watched her at every moment.

“Chu Ningyi…” Shui Anluo suddenly called out softly but he could hear the agony in her voice.

Chu Ningyi froze but did not stop the car. Instead, he looked at the woman whose eyes had remained shut.

“This is the best opportunity.” Shui Anluo tried to bear with the confusing sense of suffocation in her head and spoke in a soft voice. She had thought about it as she was falling. Chu Ningyi had already asked Mo Lusu to pressure Lan Xin anyway. If she got hurt, it would give Lan Xin a great opportunity to make her move.

When her head had collided with the step, it hurt her so much that she thought she would die. However, it was not to the point of concussion. She had pretended to be concussed so Yuan Jiayi would think that she was badly injured.

Chu Ningyi squeezed her hand. “Shui Anluo…”

“This is the last time. From now on, you’ll be responsible for the schemes and I’ll be responsible for being an idiot…” Shui Anluo murmured, her voice escaping from her lips.

This time, she really lost consciousness from the pain.

At this moment, Chu Ningyi didn’t know if he should scold or praise her.

Perhaps she had not intended to hurt herself on purpose but the first thing she thought of when she got hurt was still Lan Xin.

That near-death experience must have thoroughly terrified her so she was using all her might to protect herself and eliminate the threat.
