I smiled faintly. This was just an ordinary hospital ward—lime‑painted walls, no decorations at all. It looked exactly like the condition of every patient here: pale and powerless.

In a space of only a few dozen square meters, three hospital beds were set up, each surrounded by curtains. Everyone had a small locker, and only the patient by the window could enjoy the windowsill.

Fortunately, one thing that was relatively convenient was that the three of us could share a single bathroom.

“Sis, what’s going on with you? The child was already so big, already fully formed. Doing this now is extremely harmful to your body,” Ji Zhihao said as he looked at me.

I looked at him and forced a smile, trying not to let him be frightened by my complexion.

“It’s fine. This is good too. I’m finally relieved. Even the only connection between him and me was personally strangled by him, haha.” I tried my best to talk about it as if I were telling a story. But even so, this was still my child. Feeling pain in my heart was inevitable.

“What? What do you mean by ‘personally strangled by him’?”

“Could it be that brother‑in‑law—that man surnamed Yu—was the one who caused your miscarriage?” Yan Zhi asked angrily.

“Clatter.” He suddenly stood up, pushing the chair beside him far away, which also drew the attention of the other two beds.

I knew his personality was impulsive—something was bound to happen. I thought he already knew, which was why he said it like that. Who knew…

Ignoring the pain of my wound, I immediately grabbed him, almost using all the strength in my body, and looked at him with pleading eyes as I said, “Don’t go. Not now. If you go over there, you’ll definitely suffer a loss. I don’t want you all to fall into trouble with me because of this.”

“Hiss…” I couldn’t help frowning, letting out a sound from the pain of the wound.

My younger brother looked at me, then sat down and said, “I’m sorry, Sis. It’s all because of me. If it weren’t for my mom being greedy for small gains, you wouldn’t have had to marry him over that little bride price and suffer like this.”

Hearing him say that made me feel much more comforted. At least there was still one person in that family who cared about me.

I shook my head and said, “Alright, don’t blame yourself. It doesn’t have much to do with you. It was also my own fault for not seeing people clearly.”

“Isn’t there a saying? What woman hasn’t gone through a few scumbags?” I said this to ease his mood.

But as soon as the words left my mouth, I immediately thought of my child.

Seeing this, Yan Zhi immediately changed the subject. “Sis, then what are you going to do? Are you just going to let them get away with it? Or—or should we call the police?”

I thought about it for a moment. Calling the police actually wasn’t a bad idea. It was better than letting my brother go fight, and maybe by calling the police—even if they didn’t receive legal punishment—they could still receive corresponding penalties.

I hesitated for a moment, then finally picked up the phone. At that instant, the burden pressing on my heart finally erupted.

“Hello! Are you the police? I want to hold my husband accountable. Last night, he committed domestic violence against me, causing my nine‑month‑old child to miscarry. I’m at the hospital right now.”

After the call ended, my brother looked even more anxious than I was and immediately asked, “What did the police say?”

I smiled, unable to help myself from treating him like a child as I reached out and patted his head. “Honestly, you still can’t change that impatient temper. The police said they’ll handle it after they investigate everything clearly. When the time comes, they’ll need my cooperation for the investigation.”

“That’s great!” Yan Zhi raised his hand and slapped his own thigh. Then his face turned fierce. “We must make them go to prison!”
