Li Qin’s face flushed red instantly.

“Little Wu, quick, call the driver. Tell him to send Yuwei to the hospital.” She shouted at the maid standing outside the house. Anger rushed like into her heart like a tidal wave.

How dare she lay a hand on her grandson. Did she want her dead?

She turned like a madwoman toward He Xiyan who stood nearby.

He Xiyan was still in a state of shock. She kept shaking her head, her face pale.

“Mum, she was the one who threw herself on the floor. Mum... I did not push her, it was she who...”

She did not manage to complete her sentence.

Smack!

A slap cracked across her face.

“You wretched woman.” Li Qin’s eyes were red with anger. She threw all caution to the wind and reached out to grab He Xiyan’s hair.

“Do you want the Mo family to never have descendants?”

Bang!

She rammed He Xiyan’s head against the wall.

“Mum, I did not. She threw herself onto the floor. I did not lay a hand on her.” He Xiyan said despairingly. She desperately tried to pull Li Qin’s hands off her, but having not eaten for at least ten hours, she was weaker than this middle-aged woman who was at least thirty years older.

Li Qin’s grip tightened on her hair, she wished she could pluck all the hair she was holding out.

“Stop calling me ‘mum’! You’re not worthy!” She said as she lifted her foot and kicked at hard He Xiyan’s thigh. She continued to kick her repeatedly until the maid and the driver rushed over to stop her.

“Madam, stop hitting her. Let’s send Miss Xia to the hospital first.” Wu Xiaomin and Driver Wu held on Li Qin’s arms and finally managed to pull her off He Xiyan.

Li Qin’s anger had not dissipated and her eyes were filled with hatred, as though the woman in front of her was her mortal enemy.

“I’m warning you, He Xiyan. If anything happens to my grandson, I will not let you off.”

She said through gritted teeth and clenched fists. She was so angry that even her neck had turned red.

——

30 minutes later.

At the public hospital, Li Qin spent a large sum to have Xia Yuwei admitted into the VIP ward for a medical consultation.

Blood tests, urine tests, ultrasound and even taking her pulse...

The doctors were so busy; they did not even have time to take their afternoon break.

Mo Yixuan who was at work dozens of kilometres away was summoned to the hospital by his mother via a phone call.

She informed him that Yan Yan had hit Yuwei and pushed her to the floor.

“What just happened?”

Mo Yixuan asked his mother in confusion outside the VIP consultation room of the hospital. He had also clocked the anger on her face.

The moment Li Qin noticed that her son had arrived, she was so agitated she was about to stamp her foot.

“Yixuan, how could you have married such a vile woman... she even thought of harming your child, my grandson. That is my grandson.” Li Qin clutched at her son’s arms and her face caked with foundation was so twisted with anger that she looked hideous.

Mo Yixuan frowned and he only became more confused.

The doors to the consultation room opened then.

Doctor Wang, who emerged from it, walked out as though he had just shed a heavy burden.

“Are you the patient’s family?” She asked, her gaze sweeping past the middle-aged woman and that tall, handsome man.

“Yes, yes. I am her mother-in-law.” Li Qin said without a moment’s pause.

“You see, Miss Xia is four weeks pregnant and is still at the initial stage of pregnancy. This is the most unstable stage of pregnancy and is also the stage where the most miscarriages happen. Therefore, I urge you not to agitate her any further. Furthermore, her HCG and progesterone levels are not that great, so I would recommend that Miss Xia spend the next two to three months at home in bed to take care of the child inside her. She should not do any strenuous activity and she should come back for a check-up every two weeks. I’ve prescribed her with her medication to stabilize her condition for now. Please remind her to take the medication on schedule.”
