I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 524

Chapter 524 Shi Wei Lost Her Mind

This was Song Zhenyan’s first time accompanying Shi Nuan out of the house—a trip to the hospital for a checkup, no less—as the latter’s mother-in-law. Unable to put her emotions into words, Song Zhenyan was certainly much more nervous compared to Shi Nuan, who was unfazed.

Yu Qing was already waiting for the duo when they arrived at the hospital. A hint of surprise was evident in her expression when she noticed Shi Nuan walking in with a middle-aged woman. “Mrs. Fu!” she greeted.

Shi Nuan nodded and responded, “Dr. Yu, I’ll be counting on you.”

Yu Qing gave Shi Nuan a smile and turned to look at the woman standing next to the latter, who explained with a smile, “Dr. Yu, this is my mother-in-law.”

The doctor nodded in understanding. “Madam, do wait here for a moment. I’ll give Mrs. Fu a checkup inside,” said Yu Qing before leading Shi Nuan into the room for the examination.

As Shi Nuan was already well into her pregnancy for almost five months, her baby bump was clearly showing. Yu Qing examined Shi Nuan for a while and confirmed that all of her vital signs and lab results were normal. “Keep it up! I see that you’re being well taken care of, but remember to walk around more instead of sitting down so often at home!”

“Okay!” Shi Nuan got down from the bed and smiled warmly at her assessing doctor. “Thank you, Dr. Yu.”

“No problem at all!” Compared to many other pregnant women, Shi Nuan was actually very cooperative. Moreover, her physical condition was quite good, and some of the problems that she had were now being improved upon. The doctor went on, “Remember, the further into your pregnancy you

are, the more taxing it’ll be for you. Pregnant women might also feel some mood swings at times, and these are all perfectly normal. You just have to be your usual self and keep an open mind.”

“Okay, I won’t forget it!”

When Song Zhenyan saw Shi Nuan come out of the room with some documents stating the examination results, she hurriedly stood up and inquired, “How is it?”

“Mom, Dr. Yu said that the baby is very healthy, and my vital signs and lab results are all normal, so you don’t have to worry!” answered Shi Nuan as she handed the papers to Song Zhenyan to take a look.

The latter merely smiled and shook her head. “As long as the baby’s healthy, it’s fine! I don’t know how to read any of these anyway. Well, if everything’s all right, shall we head back?”

“Sure!” Shi Nuan was feeling rather tired as well. Thus, she bade Yu Qing goodbye and left the obstetrics and gynecology department.

However, Shi Nuan stopped in her tracks on their way out of the hospital. With an embarrassed expression, she said, “Mom, can you wait here for a minute? I want to go to the restroom.”

“What’s the matter?” Song Zhenyan was stunned for a moment before continuing, “Oh, this is quite common for pregnant ladies; I used to go to the restroom all the time when I was carrying Yan as well. Do you want me to go with you?” Noticing that there was indeed something not quite right with Shi Nuan, she suggested, “Let’s go!”

“It’s all right, Mom. Just wait here for a while. I’ll be right back!” Shi Nuan smiled as she handed the lab report to Song Zhenyan. “There’re some chairs over there. Mom, you can sit over there and give me a minute. I won’t be long!”

After settling Song Zhenyan down, Shi Nuan went to the restroom on the second floor. However, she could sense that there was someone watching her when she approached the entrance of the restroom, but no one could be seen when she turned around.

Shi Nuan could not help but crease her brows. After standing at the entrance for some time and not noticing anyone suspicious, she pushed open the door and entered the restroom.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed over her from behind, and Shi Nuan instantly took a step forward. When she turned around to confront the attacker, she saw Shi Wei holding a handkerchief and rushing toward her. Shi Nuan steadily took a couple of steps back and questioned, “Shi Wei?”

“Shi Nuan, you weren’t expecting me, were you?” Seeing that Shi Nuan actually managed to dodge her twice, Shi Wei stretched out her hand and tightened her grip on the handkerchief. She stared at Shi Nuan begrudgingly, her eyes as vicious as a viper’s. A shiver went down Shi Nuan’s spine in spite of herself. With a deep frown, she asked, “Shi Wei, have you been in hiding during this period of time so that the police can’t find you?” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“That’s right. You don’t seem too surprised to see me,” responded Shi Wei as she eyed her sister coldly. “Shi Nuan, it’s all because of you! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have ended up where I am right now!”

“Were you the one who killed Su Su?” Shi Nuan naturally saw the handkerchief in the hand of Shi Wei, who was planning to use it to cover the former’s nose and mouth. Thus, Shi Nuan arrived at a conclusion.

As her sharp eyes raked over Shi Wei, Shi Nuan used both her hands behind her back to speedily find her phone in her purse and, to the best of her recollection, press a certain series of buttons. While doing so, her icy gaze met Shi Wei’s. Shi Nuan inquired, “Was it also you who caused Grandfather’s death?”

“So what if it was me?”

“Grandfather was your family, and Su Su was your best friend! Shi Wei, how could you do this to them?”

Shi Nuan knew that she must not panic right now. Otherwise, Shi Wei would be able to see right through her. Hence, she could only keep talking to provoke Shi Wei and divert the latter’s attention.

Just as expected, Shi Wei laughed out loud after hearing Shi Nuan’s words. “Family? Did he consider me as his own flesh and blood? You should know that when I visited him in the hospital that day, I was thinking that as long as he was willing to give me the shares and give up on you, I wouldn’t aggravate his condition. But, what did he do? He actually said that he would rather give those things to an outsider than hand them over to me! Who does that old fart think he is? Hah!”

As she laughed, her baleful eyes were overflowing with hatred toward Shi Yunsheng and Shi Nuan. “Tell me, who in the world gave you the right to snatch away everything that belonged to me?” Shi Wei continued.

“I didn’t! I’ve never thought of snatching away your things!” Shi Nuan felt that Shi Wei had a screw loose. She always thought that she was an imaginary enemy to the latter, but the idea of snatching anything that belonged to Shi Wei had never crossed her mind. On the contrary, it was Shi Wei who would concoct schemes to lay her hands on whatever belonged to Shi Nuan and destroy them. After they grew up, Shi Wei would seize Shi Nuan’s hard work, as well as her boyfriend.

Shi Nuan closed her eyes for a brief moment and took in a deep breath. “Then, what about Su Su? Both of you were such good friends. For you, she—”

Before she could finish, Shi Wei interrupted, “Friends? Haha! Did you say she’s my friend?” She laughed as though she had just heard the funniest joke in the world. “Shi Nuan, don’t kid me. Did you think that I wouldn’t find out? Su Su stepped over to your side a long time ago, didn’t she? For the sake

of her revenge against me, she actually aligned herself with you and led me to do such things! It was all her—no, it was you!”

Suddenly snapping back to her senses, she sneered and continued, “Are you trying to buy time? Haha! Do you think that anyone can save you now?” A murderous glint flashed across Shi Wei’s eyes as she gritted her teeth and glared at Shi Nuan. “Shi Nuan, I advise you to give up. If you behave yourself, I promise to leave your corpse intact—just like our grandfather’s, so you can be buried in peace.”

“Shi Wei, you’re totally off your rocker!” At that moment, Shi Nuan knew that Shi Wei had completely lost her sanity.

Even though Shi Nuan had already made a phone call, she had absolutely no idea whose number she dialed, much less when the person she called would arrive.

Shi Nuan breathed in deeply and added, “You just want Huancheng, don’t you? I’ll give it to you!”

Shi Wei cackled and said, “Huancheng? It’s too late, Shi Nuan. It’s all too late. I’ve nothing to my name now, and I even have blood on my hands. What purpose would owning Huancheng serve me?” With a smile plastered on her face, the look in her eyes became murderous. “Killing one is murder, killing two is murder as well… If that’s the case, Shi Nuan, it’s time for you to go to hell too!” All of a sudden, Shi Wei charged toward Shi Nuan, but the latter dodged the incoming attack. Nevertheless, Shi Wei still managed to grab one of Shi Nuan’s hands.

Due to her pregnancy and baby bump, Shi Nuan did not dare to fight with Shi Wei so forcefully. However, that was not the case for Shi Wei, who was ready to drag Shi Nuan down with her. Thus, she tugged at Shi Nuan mercilessly. When she noticed Shi Nuan’s baby bump, she lifted her leg to kick the latter’s bulging belly, but Shi Nuan shoved her away. At the same time, Shi Nuan’s purse fell to the floor as Shi Wei grabbed it, causing the phone to fall out and be exposed.

Shi Wei eyed the phone on the floor, and her gaze became sinister. “How dare you try to call for help! Did you think that help would come in time?” As if she had gone insane, Shi Wei suddenly took out a syringe from behind. Fixing her malicious eyes on Shi Nuan, the woman raised her hand to stab her pregnant sister.

Immediately, Shi Nuan grabbed hold of Shi Wei’s hand with both her hands as tightly as she could, but Shi Wei lunged at her with all her might.

Shi Nuan’s strength was dwindling. Seeing that the tip of the needle was going to land on her soon, Shi Nuan clenched her teeth and turned her head to the side, causing the needle to hit the sink. With that, Shi Nuan abruptly let go of her hands. Shi Wei did not react in time and fell forward onto the sink as though her feet had tripped on something,

With a thud, Shi Wei’s head knocked on the sink, and she slumped to the ground.

Shi Nuan’s heart skipped a beat. When she noticed that Shi Wei lay unmoving on the floor, she flipped the latter over and discovered that Shi Wei’s head was bleeding from the impact. Shi Nuan could feel her entire body turn cold. Nonetheless, she knew that this was not the time to be afraid. Hence, she reached out and placed a finger under Shi Wei’s nose to see if she was still breathing. Upon realizing that Shi Wei was still alive, Shi Nuan heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, she hurriedly turned around to pick up the phone on the ground. Shi Nuan saw on the call log that the person whose number had been dialed was Fu Chengyan. She instantly spoke into the phone. “Yan, I’m in the hospital. I—” Before she could finish her words, her vision turned black all of a sudden. A black silhouette took over her so swiftly that she could barely see who it was.

The man snatched the phone away from Shi Nuan’s hands and strangled her with one hand. His eyes gleamed sharply as he scanned the call log on the phone before throwing it away. “Mrs. Fu!”

Shi Nuan was forced to her feet as the man’s hand strangled her neck. She kept hitting his arms incessantly, trying to break free from his grasp, but the man would not let her have her way so easily. “Stop struggling if you don’t want to die!”

And so, Shi Nuan stopped fighting back. Although she was afraid, she forced herself to calm down. “Who are you?”

The man smirked and glanced at Shi Wei from the corner of his eyes. “Just as expected, she’s a useless wench! I have to take matters into my own hands after all.”

“Who in the world are you?”

“Our master would like to see you, Mrs. Fu!”

Shi Nuan looked at the man calmly and questioned, “So, you guys were the one ordering Shi Wei around? Is your goal not to kill me?”

The man smiled and replied, “It is not up to me whether to kill you or not. What else would you like to know, Mrs. Fu? I think it’d better for you to direct your questions to our master!” As soon as he finished, a handkerchief appeared out of nowhere in the man’s hand. With a slight touch to her face, Shi Nuan felt her head become heavy, and she passed out.

After looking at Shi Nuan, the man glanced at Shi Wei again and scoffed. Then, he picked up the unconscious Shi Nuan and carried her away.
