Chapter 698: Heartless Creature
Ling Tianya was pacing the room. She was restless. The bad feeling in the stomach was getting stronger and stronger. She could not get through to Ling Tao, and her sixth sense told her that something bad had already happened.
Ruan Zeyan walked in slowly. He stared at Ling Tianya gravely, and he spoke slowly, “They have found Tianxin.”
“Really?” Ling Tianya said happily.
“Yeah, she was on her way to the countryside; she was with your grandma.”
Tianxin had been with Madame Ling?
Ling Tianya frowned. She could guess Madame Ling’s motives in taking Tianya there. Her last strand of tolerance for Madame Ling immediately disappeared once and for all.
She continued looking at Ruan Zeyan. She could tell that he still had more to say, and she inhaled deeply to calm her own nerves. “What else? You can tell me.”
Ruan Zeyan took her hand and guided her to the sofa before he continued, “Father-in-law got into a car accident when he was driving around looking for Tianxin. He’s in resuscitation at the hospital.”
Ling Tianya’s body shuddered. Now she had finally found the source of all her unease.
On their way to the hospital, Ruan Zeyan explained the circumstances of the car accident to Ling Tianya.
Madame Ling had taken the opportunity to sneak Ling Tianxin out of the house early in the morning when Ling Tao and Xiao Hong were still fast asleep. She was planning to dump her inconspicuously in the countryside and hadn’t expected Ling Tao to find them so quickly out there.
Ling Tao and Madame Ling got into a heated argument, and Ling Tianxin, terrified, backed away from them into the oncoming traffic. There was a car heading right for her, and Ling Tao leaped out to save his daughter.
Ling Tianxin only suffered mild abrasions, but Ling Tao was sent to the emergency department at the hospital.
Ling Tianya’s hands were clenched into fists as she listened to the story. She had never hated Madame Ling and Yu Meizi so fiercely before. One of them had used Ling Tianxin, and the other had tried to abandon her. They both had their own selfish interests in mind, and their selfishness had hurt Ling Tao deeply.
When Ling Tianya arrived at the hospital, Ling Tao was still in the operating theater, and Madame Ling was bawling in the hospital corridors. She was crying loudly, despite efforts of the hospital staff to console her.
Xiao Hong’s was sitting at the other end of the room, her face pale and ghastly. Her hands were kneading the edge of her shirt, and her expression was lost and dazed.
Yu Meizi was in a corner. She didn’t dare approach the group. Madame Ling was having a breakdown at the moment, and she didn’t know what she might do to her if she saw her there.
Ling Tianxin, on the other hand, was shivering in a corner. She was trembling with her hands over her head as she sobbed uncontrollably.
Madame Ling looked up amidst her tears and glared at Ling Tianxin venomously. She charged towards Ling Tianxin with all her might. “You are such a jinx! You are the reason for all of these! Why didn’t you die instead? Why did the car hit my son? Why didn’t the car hit you instead? I’ll strangle you! I’ll strangle you to death!”
Madame Ling was about to lay her hands on Ling Tianxing when Da Yi stopped her in time. Madame Ling turned and glared at Da Yi through her blood-shot eyes. She knew this man; he was employed by Ling Tianya.
She turned and saw Ling Tianya standing there, glaring at her.
Madame Ling was in a frenzy and shouted at Ling Tianya angrily, “Ling Tianya! Are you still going to defend this idiot now? She is the reason your father was hit by the car! Do you still have a heart? You heartless creature!”
“I’m the heartless one, you say?” Ling Tianya looked at Madame Ling emotionlessly without a hint of warmth.”Da Yi, let go of her. I want to see if she dares to strangle Ling Tianxin to death right in front of me.”
