Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 308: Chapter 298: Pushed Down the Stairs
 

After paying, Qiao Jing picked up her belongings and headed toward the elevator near the staircase.

The closest elevator to this floor was the same one, and Lou Xinrou, Jiang Ling, and Qiao Jing were all going in the same direction.

Lou Xinrou’s gloomy gaze fixed on Qiao Jing’s retreating figure.

She had long harbored dissatisfaction with the other woman’s figure and face, both of which she couldn’t match.

As they approached the staircase, Qiao Jing’s bottle of folic acid pills suddenly came into Lou Xinrou’s view.

The thought of Qiao Jing carrying Zhan Qipei’s child resurfaced in her mind.

A malicious thought crept into Lou Xinrou’s heart as she passed by Jiang Ling and Qiao Jing.

Push Jiang Ling down the stairs, then pin the blame on Qiao Jing.

“Jiang Ling, let’s go downstairs and see if there’s anything else,” she said.

Jiang Ling hummed in agreement, brushing past Qiao Jing, who was about to enter the elevator.

Just then!

A gleam of excitement flashed in Lou Xinrou’s eyes, and her hand reached out toward Qiao Jing, pushing Jiang Ling forcefully forward.

“Qiao Jing! Why did you push Jiang Ling!” she exclaimed.

“Ah—!!”

Jiang Ling’s piercing scream, along with Lou Xinrou’s accusation, filled the air as she uncontrollably lunged forward, teetering on the brink of tumbling down the stairs.

In an instant!

Qiao Jing, reacting with lightning speed, grabbed Jiang Ling’s wrist and with great effort pulled her back, preventing her fall.

However, since Jiang Ling was pregnant, her weight was significant, and when Qiao Jing pulled her to safety, she felt her own belly jolt from the inertia.

Once Jiang Ling was seated on the ground, she gasped for air, her face pale and beaded with cold sweat, an indication of her less than optimistic state.

Subconsciously, Qiao Jing touched her belly, uncomfortable from the inertia.

Seeing that Jiang Ling hadn’t fallen as she intended, Lou Xinrou felt a twinge of regret; if the child had been lost, it would have been for the best. Then Qiao Jing would be held responsible for the crime!

Jiang Ling, suffering from distress, lay half on the ground clutching her belly, her head covered in sweat and her lips shivering incessantly.

The sharp pain in her abdomen terrified her—her child!

She called out weakly,

“Call an ambulance… ambulance… ambulance…”

Even in agonizing pain, she didn’t forget to glare at the ‘culprit,’ Qiao Jing.

Seeing the one who intended to harm her child standing by indifferently, she shook with rage.

“Qiao Jing… you maniac! I only criticized you a bit, and you actually tried to push me down the stairs, to harm me and my child! How could you be so cruel!”

Qiao Jing furrowed her brows, looking at Lou Xinrou with a scrutinizing gaze.

Lou Xinrou immediately squatted next to Jiang Ling, checking her pulse.

After taking the pulse, her expression darkened; the situation was serious and beyond her medical expertise.

“Jiang Ling, I can’t help you with my medical skills, but I’ll call an ambulance for you,” she said.

She hoped even more for a miscarriage.

After calling 120, she noticed Qiao Jing was still standing nearby, and other passersby had also started paying attention to the situation.

Lou Xinrou put on a worried expression.

“Jiang Ling, where do you feel uncomfortable? Hold on for a little while longer, I’ve called an ambulance,” she said.

Qiao Jing, no longer concerned about her own well-being, looked at Jiang Ling, whose belly was quite large, appearing to be eight or nine months pregnant. The recent terrifying incident would undoubtedly have caused distress to the baby.

She remembered the unpleasant things Jiang Ling had said to her before,

Lou Xinrou had some medical knowledge, but the implication of her words after taking the pulse was undeniably that the situation was very grim.

Not only is she a doctor, but now also a mother. As a doctor, she couldn’t just let Jiang Ling lie there on the ground waiting for an ambulance. The situation was very urgent, and by the time the ambulance arrived, it would undoubtedly be more pessimistic.

She couldn’t bear to see Jiang Ling in this state, especially since the child in her belly was innocent.

Qiao Jing crouched down beside Jiang Ling, preparing to take her pulse and assess her condition.

Lou Xinrou glared venomously at Qiao Jing’s belly and stretched out her hand to deliberately push her with all her strength, aiming to knock her straight to the ground.

I hope you fall and die so that your child dies with you!

Caught off guard, Qiao Jing was pushed back a few steps by Lou Xinrou, but then she steadied herself. She had to leave Jiang Ling’s side, unable to take her pulse.

Her brows furrowed tightly, Jiang Ling’s condition was not looking good, her complexion becoming paler and paler. Although there was no bleeding at the moment, if she wasn’t treated promptly, the likelihood of a miscarriage would increase dramatically.

Lou Xinrou started yelling at the top of her lungs.

“What are you doing! You have already caused Jiang Ling so much harm, what more do you want?!”

Her words immediately drew the attention of the surrounding crowd, and when they saw a pregnant woman lying on the ground, they quickly gathered around to watch.

Bystanders pointed at Jiang Ling and whispered among themselves.

Having achieved her goal of attracting attention, Lou Xinrou continued to accuse Qiao Jing of her ‘crimes’.

“Jiang Ling is nine months pregnant, almost due. How could you lay a hand on her? Even if she said something unpleasant just now, you didn’t have to push her down!”

After saying this, she forced a few tears and looked at Jiang Ling with a face full of worry.

The bystanders, upon hearing this, widened their eyes, and their whispers grew louder.

“Is she even human? This young girl has such a pretty face, how could she do something so cruel?”

“Her belly is so big, and still, she laid hands on her?”

“Yeah, she’s about to give birth. No matter how big the grudge is, there’s no need to push someone down like that, right?”

“…”

Lou Xinrou shielded Jiang Ling behind herself and pointed at Qiao Jing as if she truly was the culprit.

“What were you trying to do by getting close to Jiang Ling just now? She has been pushed down by you, do you still want to bully her?”

Auntie among the bystanders couldn’t listen anymore and took the lead to speak out, her eyes full of displeasure when she looked at Qiao Jing.

“To push someone down when they’re nine months pregnant, is that even human? What could she have possibly said to make you want to kill to keep her quiet?”

The other bystanders heard this and expressed their discontent with Qiao Jing.

“No matter what, there is an unborn child in that belly. How could you bring yourself to harm it?”

“Regardless of what was said, you can’t take it out on an innocent child!”

“…”

Suddenly, Qiao Jing found herself the center of controversy.

The surrounding public opinion continuously blamed her, and Lou Xinrou, hearing this, was very pleased, a smug smile spreading across her face.

Qiao Jing, I’d like to see how you explain this!

Qiao Jing stood there, fixated on Jiang Ling’s belly, not taking to heart any of the harsh words said by the crowd.

What she was more concerned about right now was the state of the child in Jiang Ling’s belly.

But with Lou Xinrou protectively holding Jiang Ling, preventing her from taking her pulse, she was unable to diagnose the condition.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed.

“Oh my God! She’s starting to bleed!”

Jiang Ling, now in unbearable pain, bit her lip hard, hands guarding her belly. She felt a warm flow slowly trickling down from between her legs.

Barely managing to sit up, she looked down to see a frightening expanse of crimson on her legs, her eyes widening in shock, and large tears like soybeans immediately began to fall.

She felt as if her world was collapsing, her voice trembling as she spoke.

“My baby! My baby can’t be harmed… Xinrou, has the ambulance arrived yet?”
