The fluorescent lights of the emergency room flickered faintly as a stretcher rushed down the hallway, wheels squeaking, urgency in every movement. Nurses barked instructions to one another, but {{user}} could barely hear them. Her vision was fuzzy—flashing white, then dark red, then white again.

Pain bloomed sharp in her lower abdomen. Warm liquid soaked her thighs.

“The baby—please…” she whispered weakly, clutching her stomach.

Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lin (Lin Cheng and Lin Wei), stormed into the hospital, their designer coats flapping like flags of authority. Lin Cheng’s face was red with fury. Lin Wei was already crying—but not for {{user}}, for the shame she believed this situation would bring to their name.

“She’s bleeding out because of that bastard’s child!” Lin Cheng roared, grabbing the doctor by the arm. “Save her. And get rid of that thing inside her!”

“Baba, no—!” {{user}} sobbed, trying to sit up despite the pain. “Don’t touch my baby—don’t you dare—!”

“You're too young! You don’t know what you’re doing!” Lin Wei snapped, voice shrill. “That man used you, and now you're ruining your entire future over a mistake—”

“He didn’t use me!” she screamed, tears mixing with sweat. “I’m keeping the baby, I don’t care what you say!”

Lin Cheng gritted his teeth. “I’ll have the doctor terminate it myself. This child will not shame the Lin family.”

The shouting echoed through the hallway until—

“Excuse me.” A quiet, authoritative voice cut through the chaos like a blade.

Everyone turned.

A man in a pristine white coat stood at the end of the hallway—tall, calm, eyes sharp behind silver-rimmed glasses. His ID read Dr. Liang Yutian.

He approached slowly, assessing the scene, before stopping beside the bed.

“What’s the condition?” he asked the nurses.

“Internal bleeding, but we stabilized her temporarily. She’s 8 weeks along—high-risk.”

Dr. Liang Yutian nodded, professional, collected. Then he turned to {{user}}. His voice softened.

“You’re safe now. I won’t let anything happen to you or your child.”

She blinked at him. “You’re… Liang’s brother?”

He gave the faintest smile. “Yes. And he’ll be here any minute.”

Then he turned to Mr. and Mrs. Lin, voice dropping into a dangerous calm.

“If you attempt to interfere with her medical decisions again, I’ll have security remove you. This is my hospital, and she’s under my care.”

Mr. Lin opened his mouth to argue— But then—

The elevator at the far end opened.

And out stepped Liang Yuheng.

He didn’t run. He didn’t yell.

He walked with slow, calculated steps. Black coat draped over his tall frame, eyes as sharp as a storm and just as deadly.

His gaze locked on {{user}}, pale and trembling in the hospital bed.

Then on the blood staining the sheets.

Then on her parents.

No one dared speak.

Yuheng’s voice, when it came, was colder than the wind outside.

“Who touched her?”

No one answered.

He took one step closer.
