The military wife is pregnant and the tycoon, who has no heir, spoils her rotten.

Chapter 138 A Joyous Event
"Sister-in-law, go and rest for a bit. We'll take care of things here."

Fan Zhong looked at Xia Zhi's bloodied and mangled hands, his eyes filled with unbearable sorrow.

Xia Zhi stubbornly shook her head. "No, I won't leave. I'm a doctor, I can provide timely assistance."

After saying that, ignoring the pain in her hands, she bent down and painstakingly moved the stones in front of her one by one.

With each stone she moved, her hands trembled from the effort, and the excruciating pain caused her forehead to be covered in fine beads of sweat, but she never stopped moving.

Fortunately, no further earthquakes occurred in the following period.

Soon, half an hour passed, and Xia Zhi and Fan Zhong stood in front of the largest rock.

Thanks to their efforts, the stone was finally moved.

Xia Zhi looked at the familiar clothes below, her heart skipped a beat, her eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she burst into tears of joy.

Upon seeing this, Fan Zhong immediately turned around and shouted for help.

"Quick, someone come here! The battalion commander is here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone rushed forward and worked together to completely move the stone, revealing the unconscious Lu Beiting underneath.

Lu Beiting was covered in blood, and his once neat clothes were now soaked in blood and torn to shreds.

His consciousness had long since faded, but fortunately the trees above blocked the deadly rocks, saving his life.

"Lu Beiting, can you hear me?" Xia Zhi called out anxiously as she quickly helped him stop the bleeding.

"Xia Xia."

Lu Beiting murmured something, then struggled to open his eyes. When he saw Xia Zhi with tears streaming down her face, he thought it was his imagination.

"Lu Beiting, hang in there! We'll get you out of here soon."

Xia Zhi put some medicine into his mouth, and then keenly sensed that there seemed to be some movement behind him.

"Help, help me." A faint voice came.

Xia Zhi looked over and saw the woman who was holding Lu Beiting back.

A surge of anger welled up in Xia Zhi's heart, and she wanted to curse him out, but in the end she held back.

Evil people will be punished by evil people; such people will get their comeuppance sooner or later.

Lu Beiting was quickly carried out, and the woman was also pulled out.

After the woman was brought out, the medical staff only gave her basic treatment and then rushed off to provide further assistance elsewhere.

The surrounding villagers looked at her with disgust.

"It was this woman who instigated us, which is why those comrades weren't rescued."

"Pah! What a heartless woman! Doesn't everyone else's life matter? How could our village produce such a treacherous and ungrateful wretch like you?"

Each person spat at her, and the woman was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear. Her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word, nor did she know what to say.

"I didn't mean to..." She had barely opened her mouth when she was bombarded with accusations.

Xia Zhi glanced at the situation, snorted coldly, and looked away, too lazy to care.

She and the others took Lu Beiting to the nearest hospital.

After a thorough examination, the situation was better than expected; the leg wasn't completely broken as described in the book, but the patient still needed to be hospitalized for a few days to recuperate.

"Xia, I'm leaving Beiting to you now. We're heading back. If you need anything, just call Zhang Yi; he's here." Uncle Li patted Xia Zhi on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"Yes, Uncle Li, you can go without worry."

Xia Zhi nodded, watching Uncle Li's departing figure. There were soldiers all within a hundred miles, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Xia Zhi stayed by the hospital bedside, poured herself a glass of hot water, and immediately felt nauseous after drinking it. She looked around in confusion, but before she could think about it, a wave of dry heaving rose up.

Xia Zhi froze on the spot, a thought suddenly flashing through her mind: Could she be pregnant?

She put down her cup, took a deep breath, and checked her own pulse.

As she placed her fingers on her pulse, feeling its faint yet unique beat, an indescribable emotion welled up within her.

Xia Zhi looked confused for a moment, then got up to get checked out.

What if this is just a hallucination?

She arrived at the examination room with a nervous heart, and while waiting for the results, her heart was pounding like a deer.

Finally, the doctor kindly handed her the test report.

"Congratulations, you're going to be a mother," the doctor said with a smile.

Xia Zhi stared at the report showing she was seven weeks pregnant, her mouth agape in surprise, completely unprepared for this.

Her heart was filled with surprise, but also mixed with a sense of confusion and unease.

Holding the report in her hand, Xia Zhi walked back to the ward with a blank expression.

As soon as he entered, Lu Beiting, who was lying on the hospital bed, opened his eyes and moved his hands and feet, only to find that he was completely wrapped up.

His gaze swept around the unfamiliar ward, which smelled of disinfectant, and landed on Xia Zhi by the bedside.

At this moment, Xia Zhi was looking down, clutching a report tightly in her hands, completely absorbed in her own thoughts, unaware that Lu Beiting had already woken up.

Lu Beiting's heart tightened suddenly, and his heart began to pound uncontrollably. An ominous premonition surged into his heart.

Could it be that her injuries were too severe, which is why Xiaxia was so distraught?
"Xiaxia, what's wrong?"

Lu Beiting opened his mouth with difficulty, his throat felt like it was being burned by fire, extremely dry, and each syllable was accompanied by a piercing pain.

Xia Zhi was immersed in her complicated emotions when she heard that familiar yet incredibly weak voice.

Her body jolted, and the report in her hand nearly slipped from her grasp.

She slowly raised her head, her gaze meeting Lu Beiting's concerned eyes.

"You're awake!" Xia Zhi said with delight.

She quickly put down the report in her hand, stood up, and poured herself a glass of warm water.

She carefully carried the water glass to Lu Beiting's bedside, gently lifted his head, and brought the glass to his lips.

"Drink slowly, don't choke."

Lu Beiting took small sips of water from Xia Zhi's hand, the warm water flowing down his throat and relieving the burning sensation.

His gaze never left Xia Zhi's face; looking at her haggard appearance, he felt a deep sense of guilt.

He wanted to reach out to comfort her, but as soon as he moved, a piercing pain shot through his body, as if countless needles were piercing him at the same time.

He couldn't help but gasp, his brows furrowing tightly.

The pain was even more intense than when he was injured last time. Last time, he lost consciousness quickly and didn't wake up until more than a month later, so he never had the chance to experience this kind of pain again.

"Xiaxia, is my injury very serious?"

Despite the pain, Lu Beiting turned to look at Xia Zhi, his eyes filled with self-reproach.

His eyes were filled with guilt and regret. He had promised her to protect himself before he left, but now he was lying in a hospital bed, making her worry about him.

Looking at Lu Beiting's remorseful eyes, Xia Zhi gently shook her head, a gentle smile appearing on her lips. "No, it's just... it's just that I'm pregnant."
