B5SB -Chapter 126 Miscarriage

Deputy Company Commander Wang’s mother was tidying the vegetable patch in the small courtyard when she saw Lan Cao, soaking wet, dash back into the house in a flash.

Although puzzled, she didn’t want to ask—seeing the couple now just irritated her.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Not long after, “Mom, has my wife come back yet?” Deputy Commander Wang’s voice reached the courtyard even before he entered.

His mother looked at her flustered son with confusion.

She glared at him and snorted coldly, “Your wife? Like a ghost—she’s gone back inside.”

Deputy Commander Wang strode quickly into the house. The living room was empty, so he pushed open the door to their bedroom.

Inside, Lan Cao was hiding under thick blankets, shivering uncontrollably. She felt as if she was dying.

Wang sat on the bed and tried to pull back the blanket, but Lan Cao clutched it tightly with her arms.

With no other choice, he spoke gently, “Lan Cao, Maomao is not dead—you must have seen wrong.”

He had already learned the situation from the military wives by the river.

He believed Lan Cao must have been mistaken—how could an animal just disappear out of nowhere? She had only scared herself.

Under the blanket, Lan Cao had no strength to respond. Her stomach ached violently.

Seeing that no matter what he said, she didn’t reply, Wang decided to let her calm down for a while.

As he stood up, he felt something sticky on his pants. Wiping it with his hand, he realized it was blood.

His eyes froze for a moment.

He turned and yanked the blanket off, finding Lan Cao pale and lying in a pool of blood.

He quickly scooped her up and ran, shouting, “Mom! Lan Cao is in trouble!”

Wang’s mother was startled by the scream. Seeing her son carrying Lan Cao, covered in blood, rushing out, she didn’t think twice. She grabbed some money and ran after them.

At the Military Hospital, Wang held Lan Cao anxiously, shouting, “Doctor! Doctor!”

Head Nurse Cao, hearing the commotion, hurried over to check Lan Cao’s condition.

“Quick, follow me! Your wife may have had a miscarriage—go to gynecology.”

Without a chance to ask more, Wang followed Nurse Cao down the hallway to the gynecology department, still carrying Lan Cao.

One Hour Later, The doctor came out of the operating room. Wang and his mother grabbed the doctor’s arms together.

In unison, they asked, “My daughter-in-law… my wife… how is she?”

The doctor pulled down her mask, her eyes studying them carefully.

Sighing, she said, “The baby couldn’t be saved. The mother suffered from cold exposure and extreme shock.”

“The patient’s uterine lining was already weak, which caused this miscarriage.”

The doctor paused, considering whether to tell Wang’s mother the full truth.

Finally, she didn’t withhold it. She said softly, “The patient had a curettage procedure. Future pregnancies may be difficult.”

“What?” Wang’s mother’s voice shrilled as she repeatedly slapped her son, muttering, “Can you believe it? She didn’t even realize she was pregnant and now my golden grandchild is gone!”

Wang ignored his mother and asked the doctor, “How is my wife physically? She lost so much blood.”

The doctor nodded with some approval, her impression of Wang improved slightly.

She smiled and said, “Just make sure she gets proper nutrition at home—there shouldn’t be any major issues.”

Once the nurses wheeled Lan Cao into the ward, Wang and his mother finally saw her.

Seeing Lan Cao unconscious, Wang’s mother glanced at her son at the bedside.

She walked up to Wang and whispered, “Son, listen to me—you should divorce Lan Cao.”

Wang’s face immediately darkened, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at his mother.

Coldly, he said, “Mom, Lan Cao just miscarried, and you’re treating her like this? I will not divorce her.”

Seeing her son glare at her, Wang’s mother sobbed in grievance, shouting, “For whom do you think I’m doing this?”

“For your own good, isn’t it? Lan Cao can’t have children now—you want to end our family line!”

Lan Cao, awakened by her mother-in-law’s shouting, didn’t open her eyes. She just heard that she could never have children. Her body beneath the blanket trembled uncontrollably.

In the neighboring bed, a pregnant woman groaned at the noise.

Her mother-in-law shouted angrily, “Stop crying! Don’t you know this is a hospital? This isn’t your home!”

The wailing stopped immediately. Wang’s mother looked at her son, still feeling aggrieved.

Wang, knowing his mother’s personality, ignored her.

Coldly, he said, “Mom, go home. Make some nutritious soup for Lan Cao. Divorce? I will not.”

He picked up a stool and sat at Lan Cao’s bedside, waiting for her to wake up.

Hearing her mother-in-law’s footsteps fade, Lan Cao opened her eyes and looked at the man sitting by the bed.

Seeing his wife awake, Wang took her hand, delighted, “Wife, you’re awake! Are you feeling unwell?”

Lan Cao moved her lips and whispered, “The baby… didn’t…”

Wang interrupted gently, “Wife, once your body recovers, we can still have children. Don’t worry. Rest well, and we’ll have as many as we want.”

Tears streamed down Lan Cao’s face. She looked at the man before her. Though not imposing, he truly cared for her. Why had she been jealous of Gu Yihan, harming both herself and the unborn child?

Tightly holding Wang’s hand, she cried, “My husband, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have let jealousy cloud my mind.”

Awkwardly, Wang wiped her tears. “We won’t compare ourselves to others. From now on, our family will live well together.”

Lan Cao admitted, “I was jealous of Huailin—so young, already a regiment commander, with a good family and strong abilities.”

Wang patiently comforted his wife: “But many couples aren’t as fortunate as we are. If you stop comparing yourself to Lu Huailin and instead compare to those less fortunate than us, doesn’t it make you feel better?”

Lan Cao, listening to his flawed but comforting logic, couldn’t help smiling. The gloom in her heart dissipated.

Seeing Lan Cao happy, Wang stood and said with a smile, “I’ll go get you some food.”

Lan Cao watched him leave the ward, glancing at the pregnant woman on the neighboring bed who looked at her with envy.

Perhaps, she thought, her husband was right—others might indeed envy her.
