Stealing Your Heart

Chapter 846

Sang Yu sniffled as guilt continued to overwhelm her. If she could not keep the baby, she would hate herself for the rest of her life.

Shen Peichuan then picked her up from the sofa. “It’s late. Time to sleep.”

Shen Peichuan was not actually as calm as he looked, but he did not want to reveal his emotions in front of Sang Yu. If he, too, panicked, she would feel even more anxious.

Lowering his head, he could see Sang Yu’s damp eyelashes. The woman asked, “Do you really not blame me for this?”

She could not read his mind. All she had seen was a momentary agitation before his calmness returned. Not being able to know what his thoughts were made her anxious.

Patiently, Shen Peichuan murmured, “I really don’t blame you for this.”

If anything, he should be the one at fault. He had left immediately after the wedding; he had left her here alone. It was normal for her to not be able to do everything perfectly.

Regardless of whether or not they could keep the baby, he would not blame Sang Yu for it. Instead, he was upset with himself for not taking good care of her.

She had married him at such a young age, but he gave her nothing in return.

This was his fault.

Reaching the bedroom, he placed her onto the bed and consoled, “If we can’t keep the baby, it’s just fate, okay?”

Sang Yu buried herself under the blankets in silence. The guilt and anxiety that crashed like violent waves in her heart never ceased. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Neither slept that night, but both pretended that they had.

In the morning, as though they were consoling each other, they ate their breakfast despite the lack of appetite.

“I’ll bring you to the hospital now,” Shen Peichuan muttered as he put on his uniform.

Sang Yu nodded. As she had been crying and was sleepless last night, her eyes were slightly swollen and red.

When they were dressed, they left the house together. Just as Shen Peichuan started his car, the phone in his pocket rang.

When he accepted the call, the voice in the speaker told him to go to the station as they had a new assignment. This was the first assignment after Shen Peichuan’s promotion, so it was important. Not only did he need to do it well, but he also had to do it brilliantly.

“I’ll go to you in a moment,” Shen Peichuan replied.

“You can’t do that; you’ve just gotten your promotion. If you’re not there when the higher-ups are around, what will they think of you?”

“I…”

“Why don’t you head to your office first? I’ll wait for you at the hospital,” Sang Yu interrupted. She knew he was busy.

Shen Peichuan responded, “I have to keep you company today.”

Sang Yu pursed her lips before continuing, “Then bring me to your office. I’ll wait until you’re done before we go to the hospital.”

After all, she had already taken a day off.

Shen Peichuan thought about it. If he let Sang Yu stay at home by herself, she might become even more depressed. Hence, he said, “Okay. I’ll try to finish my work as quickly as possible.”

Thus, Shen Peichuan drove to his office. The lobby was crowded, and everyone seemed to be working on a case. Shen Peichuan brought Sang Yu to his office before telling her to stay there.

She muttered, “I won’t disrupt your work.”

As he would be meeting his superiors in the meeting room, both Chen and he went there to prepare.

Sang Yu took out her phone to search for whether it was possible to keep a baby after taking medicine. The first website that popped up told her it depended on the medication.

Knock knock.

When noises came from the door, Sang Yu put down her phone to look at it. Right then, someone knocked on the door again. She then walked over to open it.

A man in uniform was standing by the doorway, holding a cap. When he saw her, he smiled and asked, “Where’s Chief Shen?”

Sang Yu answered, “I’m not sure too. Is there anything you need from him?”

The man nodded. “Yes. We’ve gotten a case a while ago, and we’ve got the results. I’m here to hand the results to Chief Shen for the last procedure.”

Sang Yu glanced at the stack of documents in his hands and suggested, “Why don’t you leave it here first? I’ll tell him about it when he comes back.”

The man gave her words a thought. “This is a little urgent though. The man’s still here. I’ll go and look for Chief Shen instead.”

Sang Yu nodded. “All right.”

He then left with his documents. Sang Yu was about to close the door when she saw a man walking out of one of the rooms in cuffs.

He walked past her fairly quickly, but Sang Yu thought she knew him from somewhere. Soon, she recalled who he was. Isn’t he the doctor in that clinic I recently went to?

She followed after him, wondering if she had gotten it wrong.

When the man was sent into the police car, Sang Yu finally saw his face clearly. She ran over and grabbed him. “You quack doctor!”

Swiftly, the police officers pulled her away from him.

Agitated, Sang Yu shouted, “You have to send him to jail. No. You have to execute him! Someone like him will only hurt the others!”

“You know him?” one of the police officers who pulled her aside asked.

She nodded. “I visited his clinic.”

“Oh.” Now the police officer knew why she was so agitated. He asked, “Are you okay?”

Sang Yu responded, “I’m fine.”

“That’s good to know. As long as you’re fine.” He pointed to the people in the lobby. “Look at them. They’re the family members of those who died.”

Sang Yu’s face paled. Died?

“W-What happened?” Sang Yu stuttered.

She was shocked beyond belief.

Just as the police officer was about to explain to her, Shen Peichuan and the man who was looking for him earlier walked over. “What’s going on?”

Sang Yu moved toward him and pointed at the doctor who was in cuffs. “That’s the man. He’s the quack who gave me the checkup.”

Shen Peichuan turned to look at her.

With a determined tone, Sang Yu uttered, “It’s him. I knew it when I saw him.”

Shen Peichuan nodded. “I understand. Let’s go in first.” Holding her hand, he said to the other officers, “Take him away.”

With that said, he brought Sang Yu back to his office.

“Take a look at it.” Shen Peichuan handed the case files to her.

After glancing at him, she took them.
