The nurse looked at her questioningly. "What's the matter?"

"Please help me get out of this place!"

Hearing this, the nurse was momentarily stunned before she scurried out hastily.

That night, Miao Xiaobei stood at the door of the ward, facing the nurse with eyes full of gratitude and thanking her.

"Thank you. If there's a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you for your kindness."

The nurse dipped her head subserviently and signaled for Xiaobei to make her exit.

According to their plan, the nurse would distract the guards as a cover while Miao Xiaobei took the opportunity to escape.

An hour later, the nurse would inform others about Xiaobei's disappearance.

However, once she opened the door, she was shocked to find a tall black shadow looming over her.

"Miao Xiaobei, how dare you try to escape? Where did you even get the bravery to attempt it?"

Murong Ling raised his

"In hell, of course."

Miao Wanwan lowered her head and whispered into her ear, her slender fingernails digging forcefully into her waist.

The strength was so great, it was as if she intended to rip the very flesh from Xiaobei's bones.

Reacting to the pain, Miao Xiaobei pushed her away with all her might.

Unexpectedly, Miao Xiaobei crashed straight into a cart that was pushed by a nurse. The bottles clattered to the floor and shards of glass littered the ground.

"Ah, it hurts." Miao Wanwan sprawled across the glass shards and purposefully pressed her arm into their sharp edges.

Miao Xiaobei witnessed her actions. "She really does not hesitate to harm herself."

Murong Ling saw the commotion as soon as he exited the elevator.

From his perspective, all he saw was her pushing Wanwan to the ground and he was instantly filled with rage. He strode over and threw a hard smack right across her face.

"Miao Xiaobei, you're courting death."

She was dazed by his slap and her ears rang as her vision blurred.

The only thought on her mind was her child. The only thing that mattered was getting him to spare her precious child.

"Murong Ling, I beg you, let my baby go? He has just been born. I know you hate me, but you can order me to do anything you like. Even if I have to die to please you, I'll do it."

She endured the pain and half knelt on the ground, clutching at his trousers with both hands as she implored him, her eyes red as she straddled the edge of hysteria.

She could not bear to lose her child.

Murong Ling turned his head and his lips curled into an ugly sneer. "Forget about it."

He lifted his leg and kicked her away before crossing over to Miao Wanwan and cradling her in his arms, ready to leave.

"Ah..." She was losing her grip on things. "Why is it always like this?"

Xiaolan rushed to the hospital and the sight of a group of nurses huddled together greeted her. It looked as if something big was going down.

Forcing her way through, she realized that her friend was at the center of it all.

When she saw the state that Xiaobei was in, her heart twisted. She removed her coat and draped it over her gently, then helped her up and asked one of the nurses for her ward number.

Miao Xiaobei was going crazy. She gazed at her close friend with teary eyes.

Xiaolan was Xiaobei's last glimpse of hope and she gripped her arm tightly.

"Lanlan, save my child, please, they... they want to carve the child's heart out. Only you can help me now."

Miao Xiaobei's voice trembled.

After hearing this, Xiaolan's expression changed dramatically. She settled Xiaobei before rushing towards the infant care department.

She was also a doctor. The child could not possibly live without a heart.

Murong Ling was so vicious that he was not even sparing his own son.

Miao Wanwan curled up in his arms and whined. "Ling, I didn't mean to fight with my sister. She cursed our child and that's why we fought. Ling, do you think our child will really..."

Murong Ling dipped his head and kissed her on the forehead, then said reassuringly, "No, everything will be alright."

The doctor carefully removed the glass shards from her arm and disinfected the wound.

Just as they were about to leave, another doctor suddenly barged in and almost knocked into them.

"Young Master Murong, something bad has happened. The child has been taken away by some woman," the man wheezed, trying to catch her breath.

After learning of this news, Murong Ling dismissed her and marched out of the ward purposefully.

Miao Wanwan followed closely behind.

Xiaolan had worked at this hospital previously and so she was familiar with the layout of the building.

After asking around for a while, she discovered the whereabouts of the child.

However, the baby was an odd-looking fellow and did not appeal to Xiaolan much at all.

His appearance was completely different from his mother's.

She was headed towards the inpatient department when she was obstructed by a horde of people.

The person who appeared before this horde of people was the little fellow's biological father.

"What bad luck that we had to run into each other."

"Murong Ling, this is your biological son. Your actions are going to drive Xiaobei over the edge."

"Ling said that he'll divorce you once we've taken your baby's heart. Aren't you thrilled?"

Miao Xiaobei sneered after hearing those words.

"If you're really all that then, after so many years, why has he still not divorced me yet? A fake will always be a fake. He's just blinded by the lies now. Then again, when it comes to a ruthless scumbag such as Murong Ling, I think you two are perfect for each other."

The moment she had decided to knock herself into the wall, she had already given up on him.

Her heart, which had loved him for years, had been completely crushed to dust.

Miao Wanwan hadn't expected her to say that. Rage boiled within her and the blood rushed to her face.

"Miao Wanwan, do you really think that Ling kept you beside him because he's in love with you? Get real. He just wants to have a good time torturing you. Considering the half-dead state you're in now, Ling will

The nurse looked at her questioningly. "What's the matter?"

"Please help me get out of this place!"

Hearing this, the nurse was momentarily stunned before she scurried out hastily.

That night, Miao Xiaobei stood at the door of the ward, facing the nurse with eyes full of gratitude and thanking her.

Murong Ling raised his hand furiously and struck her hard in the face with a resounding slap.

Miao Xiaobei was dumbstruck
