His wife's pregnancy bump disappeared, and Mr. Huo was going crazy missing her.

Qiao Mian stood up, supporting herself on the handrail. As she walked to the door of the examination room, Huo Yanbei was just carrying Qiao Muxin out.

"Mommy, I want Mommy to hold me..."

Qiao Muxin resisted being held by Huo Yanbei. When she saw Qiao Mian, she leaned forward halfway and opened her arms to pounce on her.

Qiao Mian reached out to take it, but Huo Yanbei stepped aside, saying, "You're almost fainting yourself, how can you possibly carry a child?"

Qiao Mian pursed her pale lips.

Indeed, she was feeling dizzy and weak, so carrying the baby was quite strenuous.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing Huo Yanbei's words, Qiao Muxin looked at her mother and asked.

Before Qiao Mian could speak, Huo Yanbei rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Your mother isn't feeling well."

After speaking, he held Qiao Muxin in one arm and grasped Qiao Mian's wrist with the other, walked to the rest area, placed the child on a chair, and helped Qiao Mian sit down. "Wait a moment, I'll get the test results for you."

After saying that, he walked towards the entrance of the CT scan room.

"Mom, the bad uncle... seems to have become not bad anymore."

Qiao Muxin muttered something under her breath.

Qiao Mian frowned but didn't say anything.

Fortunately, after resting for a while, the dizziness in my head lessened considerably.

But I still don't have much strength.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Huo Yanbei returned with Qiao Muxin's CT scan.

"Are there any other tests?"

he asks.

Qiao Mian took the film and shook her head.

"Shall we go to the doctor's office now?"

"Yes, I'll take care of the child..."

Halfway through his sentence, Huo Yanbei bent down and hugged Qiao Muxin, saying, "I'll take you there."

At this moment, Qiao Muxin was no longer as afraid of Huo Yanbei as before. She looked at him with bright eyes and said, "Uncle, you must not bully my mother anymore."

Huo Yanbei smiled and said, "No more."

After saying that, he picked up Qiao Muxin and walked towards the elevator.

Although Qiao Mian was unwilling, she had no choice but to follow.

……

Doctor's office.

Qiao Mian handed all the test results to the doctor.

After examining the child's face, the doctor concluded, "The injuries on the child's face are soft tissue contusions, nothing serious. I'll prescribe some ointment and apply it a few times to reduce the swelling. The key is..."

At this point, the doctor pointed to the X-ray and said, "There is slight damage to the eardrum."

Qiao Mian immediately tensed up, "Is it serious?"

Doctor: "At present, the eardrum is only slightly damaged. You can try taking some medicine first. If you experience significant ear pain or tinnitus later, you will need to undergo further examination to check if your hearing is damaged."

After listening, Qiao Mian's expression turned serious: "Doctor, please write all these problems into the diagnosis report."

After leaving the doctor's office with her daughter, she saw Huo Yanbei leaning against the wall of the corridor from a distance. He was tall and slender, carrying two bags in one hand and making a phone call in the other.

Hearing the noise, the man turned to look at her, hung up the phone, and walked up to her. "What did the doctor say?"

Qiao Mian pulled her daughter back a step, her voice cold, "The police will inform you of the specific details of the injuries later."

After saying that, he took his daughter and left.

Huo Yanbei reached out to stop them, "I'll take you back."

"No need."

The man pursed his lips and handed her a bag. "You have low blood sugar, eat something before you go."

"Thank you, I'm alright now."

After saying that, Qiao Mian pushed the bag of food back into his hand, took her daughter's hand, and quickly left.

Watching the two figures leave, one big and one small, Huo Yanbei frowned slightly, and that inexplicable dull pain in his heart returned.

After standing there for a while, he stepped into the doctor's office.

……

After leaving the hospital, Qiao Mian took a taxi directly back to her rented apartment.

Upon entering, Qiao Muchen and Qiao Muyue were sitting in the living room watching cartoons.

Ruan Wei was busy cooking in the kitchen.

Hearing the commotion, Ruan Wei quickly came out. When she saw Qiao Muxin's face, she hugged her tenderly and kissed her forehead. "Oh, my sweetie, you've been wronged today. Does it still hurt?"

Qiao Muxin had applied ointment to her face, and the pain had long since subsided.

However, there was still some redness and swelling on my face.

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

Qiao Muxin pressed her cheek against hers. "Mom took me to see a doctor."

Ruan Wei pinched her little nose and sat down on the sofa with Qiao Muxin in her arms.

Qiao Mian followed and sat down. When Qiao Mucheng and Qiao Muye saw their younger sister's face, they asked in surprise, "Qiao Muxin, what happened to your face?"

Seeing her two sons' reactions, Qiao Mian realized that Qiao Mucheng and Qiao Muye were unaware that their sister had been beaten.

She looked at Ruan Wei.

Ruan Wei pulled her up and went to the balcony.

"It was just a coincidence today. I was on a blind date, and when I was going down the escalator, I happened to see you sitting in the rest area of ​​the indoor playground on the second floor."

"I was going to look for you, but I didn't expect that something would happen at the indoor playground as soon as I went downstairs."

"While you were arguing with that damned woman and Huo Yanbei, I took the opportunity to pick up Mu Cheng and Mu Ye, who were still playing at the indoor playground."

Qiao Mian suddenly realized, "Thank goodness you came."

"What a pity."

Ruan Wei gritted her teeth angrily, "If I wasn't worried that Huo Yanbei would see Mu Cheng and Mu Ye, I would have rushed over and torn that dead woman's face to shreds long ago."

Qiao Mian frowned. "I also wanted to hit someone, but I held back in the end. If I had hit back then, it would have only vented my anger and wouldn't have solved the problem at all."

At this point, she hugged Ruan Wei: "Thank goodness you called the police."

"Huh? Call the police?"

Ruan Wei looked bewildered. "I didn't call the police."

Qiao Mian was stunned. "If you didn't call the police, then who did?"

"I guess it was just some concerned bystanders. That damned woman hitting a little kid must have incurred public wrath."

Qiao Mian nodded thoughtfully. "Perhaps."

"Right, what do we do next? We can't let Xinxin take that slap for nothing."

"Of course. I took Xinxin to the hospital this afternoon to have her injuries checked. In addition, there's the surveillance video. This time, the other party will be detained for at least seven days."

Ruan Wei exclaimed in surprise, "Only seven days?"

Qiao Mian sighed helplessly, "At most, I'll offer some financial compensation."

"Then make her pay up to the death. If I ever run into that damned woman, I'll slap her hard and let her taste the pain."

"Okay, you watch the kids for me tomorrow, I'll go to the police station to follow up on this."

"no problem."

The two chatted for a while before returning to the living room.

Then they saw Qiao Mucheng rubbing his sister's cheeks, saying, "Xinxin, next time your brother will definitely protect you."

Qiao Muyue looked remorseful. "Xinxin, it's all my fault. I was so focused on climbing that I didn't know you were beaten up."

Seeing the children's understanding expressions, Qiao Mian walked over and hugged them. "Today was just a little accident. Let's forget about this unpleasant thing together, okay?"

Qiao Muyue and Qiao Muxin nodded obediently.

Just as Qiao Mucheng was about to express his opinion, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

He walked to the side, opened it, and took a look.

It was a WeChat message sent by Uncle Huo.
