Madam Gu's condition was critical, and the car arrived at the hospital in just half an hour.
The scarlet words 'In Surgery' lit up.
The atmosphere was tense. Qin He glanced at Gu Qichen. His eyes were deep, and only the slightly clenched fist at his side betrayed his nervousness.
The housekeeper from the old house was extremely anxious. "Madam's blood pressure has been very well controlled recently. What happened?"
Qin He glanced at Song Nuan, saw her face was a little pale, and reached into her pocket.
She narrowed her eyes and was about to speak when the emergency room door opened.
A nurse walked out of the emergency room, removed her mask, "Please rest assured, the patient is out of danger. However, for the sake of caution, it is still advisable to stay in the hospital for two days of observation."
Song Nuan clutched her chest, appearing relieved. "Thank goodness Auntie is alright!"
Qin He glanced at her, then turned to ask the nurse, "Has the cause of the sudden spike in blood pressure been found?"
The nurse shook her head. "We'll have to wait for the specific test results to come back."
Before the nurse could finish speaking, Song Nuan, who was beside them, suddenly spoke up. "Qin He, Auntie's blood pressure rose, weren't you the one who angered her? Only you and Auntie were in the room at the time! What were you doing in Auntie's room?"
Qin He's eyes sharpened, and she glanced at Gu Qichen beside her. "Control your people!"
The man's voice was low. "She is not my person."
Song Nuan gritted her teeth. "Brother Qichen, I saw it with my own eyes this time. You and the housekeeper also saw it. Qin He was the only one in the room before Auntie fainted!"
Gu Qichen's dark eyes swept over her. "Then why were you in the main building?"
Song Nuan froze, surprised that Gu Qichen would question her even after seeing it himself. She pursed her lips tightly. "I, I'm pregnant. Auntie asked me to stay home to rest and nurture the baby."
"Pregnant?" Gu Qichen's expression turned cold.
Qin He on the side let out a scoff. So the two had reached this point?
Tsk, that was quite a strong taste. After all the news that had come out before, he could still accept Song Nuan. Their feelings must be quite deep.
Madam Gu was out of danger, and Qin He had no intention of staying any longer.
She wasn't interested in hearing Qin He and Song Nuan discuss the pregnancy, and turned to leave.
Just two steps away, her wrist was grabbed by Gu Qichen.
"Wait a moment!"
An unnamable fire rose in Qin He's heart. "Mr. Gu, is there something else?"
Gu Qichen pursed his lips. Qin He's scoff just now had angered and helpless him.
Did he seem like someone who would be that desperate?
What did she truly think of him?
"I have to thank you for today's incident."
Gu Qichen's gaze was deep, wanting to explain that Song Nuan's pregnancy had nothing to do with him. However, looking at Qin He's indifferent eyes, the words wouldn't come out.
Song Nuan, standing nearby, reached out to pull Gu Qichen, but he dodged her.
"Qichen, I know you don't want to see me right now. But Auntie knows about my pregnancy, and she values this child very much..."
As she spoke, Song Nuan's gaze shifted to Qin He, a hint of provocation in her eyes.
Qin He cast a cold glance at Gu Qichen, but his hand was still tightly gripping her wrist.
"Mr. Gu, I'm not interested in listening to you discuss private matters."
"Qichen, why don't you let Qin He leave first? I'll stay and look after Auntie later," Song Nuan interjected.
Gu Qichen suddenly looked at Song Nuan. "Why were you at my mother's door? I heard the housekeeper say you were in the annex, and Mother didn't allow you near the main building."
Song Nuan looked a little flustered, gripping her hands tightly. "I originally wanted to go find Auntie to chat, but I didn't expect to see Auntie collapse on the ground just as I reached the door, with Qin He standing in front of her."
As she spoke, her gaze darted. "Actually, as I got close to the door, I think I heard Qin He and Auntie arguing—"
Qin He let out a cold laugh. "Song Nuan, can't you come up with something more original? You're so stupid every time you try to frame someone?"
Song Nuan looked at Gu Qichen anxiously. "Qichen, believe me, I'm not lying!"
Gu Qichen had lost patience. "Everything can wait until my mother wakes up. And, I don't care whose child you're carrying, you will move out of the old house starting today."
Whose child was she carrying?
Song Nuan's face turned pale.
Qin He, however, was somewhat surprised.
Gu Qichen's expression was gloomy. "We never slept together. How could you be carrying my child?"
Song Nuan was a little panicked. Her original intention today was to have Madam Gu die silently.
She went back later to retrieve the evidence, but unexpectedly encountered Qin He in Madam Gu's room!
Now, if Madam Gu woke up, her scheme would likely be exposed—
Qin He! It was Qin He again!
Song Nuan clenched her fists. She had intended to drive Qin He away and then appease Gu Qichen.
This way, when she went to take care of Madam Gu later, she could find a way to ensure Madam Gu never woke up again!
In the silence, Gu Qichen walked step by step towards Song Nuan. "You said you were pregnant, didn't you?"
His gaze swept over Song Nuan's abdomen. "Since we're at the hospital now, I'll have the housekeeper take you for a check-up. If you insist it's my child, we can do an amniocentesis and a DNA test right now."
"Qichen, how can you be so heartless!"
Song Nuan shrieked, biting her lower lip.
She absolutely couldn't go for a check-up!
At this point, Song Nuan, with tears streaming down her face, appeared to be leaving in distress.
Qin He, however, frowned. The moment Song Nuan turned, she saw a bottle cap peeking out of the pocket.
With her professional intuition, Qin He immediately recognized it as a medicine bottle cap. She stepped forward and grabbed Song Nuan.
"What's in your pocket?"
Qin He reached out to take it. It was too late for Song Nuan to stop her!
Qin He's movements were swift, and she directly pulled the medicine bottle from her pocket.
She glanced at the name, and her expression immediately turned cold!
"What are you doing? Why are you snatching people's things!" Song Nuan shrieked and rushed forward, trying to snatch the bottle back!
Qin He slapped Song Nuan hard across the face!
Her voice was extremely cold. "Song Nuan! No matter what grudges you have, how could you be so wicked? You would actually try to take someone's life!"
Song Nuan clutched her face, her eyes bloodshot.
Seeing that the medicine could no longer be retrieved, she gritted her teeth. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Saying that, she tried to lunge at Qin He again.
Gu Qichen had already walked over from the side. He hadn't moved when he saw Qin He pull Song Nuan and slap her.
Now, however, he stood in front of Song Nuan, who was trying to lunge at Qin He, his voice cold and his aura commanding.
"What is this?" He was only puzzled as to why this medicine bottle had made Qin He so angry.
Qin He's face was icy. "This is medicine for treating low blood pressure. Taking it will cause a significant increase in blood pressure. If someone with high blood pressure mistakenly takes it, it can have very serious consequences!"
