In the hospital.
When Song Qinian and Shen Chi Yan arrived, Zaan Zaan had already been rushed into the emergency room. Ju Hong Lan was holding Shen Huan Ling's corpse and wailing.
"Huan Ling... wake up... wake up, why were you so foolish? Why did you do this!"
Shen Yun Xi and Shen Zi Xuan, who had rushed over, also had red eyes and were crying softly upon seeing this scene.
Shen Huan Ling was somewhat rebellious and often did outrageous things, but no one expected her to cause such a huge disaster this time, and to lose her life in vain.
Compared to the grief of others, Shen Zheng Ming's pale face was not due to the loss of his daughter, but rather to the thought of how to explain this to Shen Chi Yan and the old lady.
Everyone knew how difficult and urgent it was for the old lady to have a great-grandchild. Now that a great-grandchild was gone, and it was at the hands of his granddaughter, their entire family would be implicated.
Upon seeing Shen Chi Yan, Shen Zheng Ming immediately stepped forward, "Ah Yan, Huan Ling she..."
Before Shen Zheng Ming could finish his sentence, Shen Chi Yan brushed past him, completely ignoring him.
Shen Chi Yan glanced at Shen Huan Ling, who had already stopped breathing. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was somber. No one knew what he was thinking, and no one dared to speak.
Shen Huan Ling was severely injured, her forehead was broken, and she was covered in blood.
As soon as Song Qinian saw her, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed, but Shen Chi Yan caught her.
Song Qinian clutched Shen Chi Yan's arm tightly, her face pale, her voice trembling, "Zaan Zaan... Zaan Zaan..."
Just then, the light above the emergency room extinguished, and the doctor walked out.
When the child was brought in, there was a strict order from above: no matter what, he had to be saved, or the entire hospital would be in trouble.
Knowing that this child was Shen Chi Yan's son, everyone was on high alert, fighting death for the child. After more than two hours of rescue, Zaan Zaan was temporarily out of danger.
Seeing the doctor emerge, everyone rushed forward as if they had seen a lifeline.
"Doctor, how is my son?"
Shen Chi Yan's face was expressionless, but his voice trembled as he spoke. It was difficult to discern his emotions without close observation, but those who knew him well understood how terrified he was at this moment.
"The child is temporarily out of danger."
Hearing this, Shen Chi Yan grabbed the doctor's collar, "What do you mean, temporarily?"
"The child ingested a large amount of anesthetic, and due to the impact of the car accident, he has multiple fractures. If he wakes up within twenty-four hours, he will be completely out of danger, otherwise..."
Seeing Shen Chi Yan's menacing expression, the doctor quickly added, "But don't worry, we will do our utmost."
Hearing the doctor's words, although tears still streamed down Song Qinian's face, she calmed down.
No chaos!
She had to remain calm at this moment!
Zaan Zaan needed her; she couldn't fall!
However, the thought of Zaan Zaan suffering so much at such a young age filled her with heartache.
Soon, Zaan Zaan was taken to the ICU.
Two people were allowed to visit in the ICU. Song Qinian and Shen Chi Yan put on sterile gowns and went in.
He had an oxygen mask on his small face, and various medical machines beeped. Seeing Zaan Zaan with his eyes closed, Song Qinian couldn't stop her tears.
She wanted to rush up and hug Zaan Zaan, but Shen Chi Yan pulled her back, "Qi Qi, calm down. Zaan Zaan is too severely injured; you can't touch him casually."
Song Qinian sobbed uncontrollably. When Zaan Zaan was in her womb, she had been constantly afraid that Li Jun Shen would harm him, and she had been extremely cautious, experiencing abdominal pain several times.
For a while, she couldn't eat, and Zaan Zaan's nutrition was insufficient. He must have suffered a lot.
After he was finally born, she suffered from postpartum depression and was afraid of harming him, so she always avoided him. She didn't have much breast milk, so she could only feed him milk and goat's milk.
Now, to have him go through all this, Song Qinian felt extremely guilty, considering herself an incompetent mother.
After a long while, Song Qinian gradually stopped crying. Leaning in Shen Chi Yan's arms, she choked out, "Zaan Zaan is your son."
Shen Chi Yan's body stiffened slightly. It was one thing for him to have discovered this himself, but hearing Song Qinian admit it directly was another.
"I was already pregnant when I left you. As for why I had your child after leaving with Li Jun Shen..."
Song Qinian smiled slightly, thinking of something. "You might not believe it, but the moment I knew I was pregnant, even though Zaan Zaan was just an embryo, I felt like I could sense him. I immediately thought, I must give birth to him. It had nothing to do with you or Li Jun Shen; he was simply my son."
Shen Chi Yan opened his mouth. He had so many questions but didn't know where to begin.
"He was very well-behaved from birth. As long as he was fed and comfortable, he wouldn't cry or fuss. Moreover, he smiled a lot. Even at that time when I... he wasn't afraid of me. He would even reach out with his little hand to touch my face, smile at me, and comfort me."
Shen Chi Yan detected something unusual. "What happened at that time? Why did you think Zaan Zaan would be afraid of you?"
Song Qinian did not answer Shen Chi Yan's question but continued, "Why does he, who is so well-behaved, have to suffer all this? If she really..."
Before she could finish, tears streamed from Song Qinian's eyes again.
"It won't happen! No matter what, I will find a way to save Zaan Zaan."
Visiting time was over, and Song Qinian and Shen Chi Yan had to leave. Song Qinian lowered her head and kissed Zaan Zaan's forehead, whispering in his ear, "Zaan Zaan, you must wake up soon. Mommy misses you so, so much."
Shen Chi Yan reached out and held Zaan Zaan's small hand. "Zaan Zaan, you are Shen Chi Yan's son. This little injury won't defeat you. Daddy believes you will wake up. Daddy and Mommy are waiting for you here."
Despite their reluctance, the two had to leave.
As soon as they exited the ICU, Gu Zhi Yan, Xi Ru Xue, and Shen Ke Qin arrived.
Gu Zhi Yan had rushed over from the film set, without even removing her makeup. Seeing the situation, she didn't know whether to get angry or not.
"Sister-in-law..."
Shen Ke Qin immediately walked up to Song Qinian and took her arm to comfort her.
Gu Zhi Yan also approached Song Qinian and gently reassured her, "Don't worry, Zaan Zaan will be fine."
Shen Huan Ling's body had already been sent to the funeral home. Since Zaan Zaan was still not out of danger, everyone remained at the hospital.
Seeing everyone flocking around Song Qinian and no one caring about her deceased daughter, Ju Hong Lan became furious. She cried out loudly, "Are you people out of your minds! Huan Ling is dead, she's dead! As her family, you haven't said a word of concern, yet you're going to care about the culprit!"
