Chapter 1974: He Was too Hasty

He stared down at Shen Manting before him and decided to loosen his grip .

Sure enough, Shen Manting had stopped moving .

However, she seemed to have lost her strength and crumpled into a heap on the ground .

Aunt Lin was startled . She cried, “Manting!”

Shen Luo’an acted swiftly and scooped her up in his arms .

But the combined weight of her body and her huge backpack made him stumble .

“Shen Manting?” Shen Luo’an hesitatingly called her name repeatedly, feeling uneasy . Then, he clutched her and shouted, “Call an ambulance!”

…

Shen Manting fainted abruptly without any warning .

When Shen Luo’an carried her, he noticed her eyes were swollen from crying .

Aunt Lin had taken care of Shen Manting for a month back then . They were not particularly close to each other, but they still cared for each other .

She was greatly disturbed to see the couple behaving this way . She stomped her feet and reprimanded Shen Luo’an . “This woman gave birth to your child . No matter how big the issue is, you shouldn’t be fighting with her . Manting is not in a good state at all . It’s not easy for her to recover during this period . Just as she has been slowly regaining her strength, you ruined everything . ”

Aunt Lin was around the same age as Mrs . Shen . Shen Luo’an did not utter a word after being scolded by her .

He held Shen Manting in his arms and touched her face .

“Married couples do quarrel and fight . But at least spare the child when you do! The baby is still so fragile; he’d be scared out of his wits . If he were to be scared sick, you parents would be to blame!”

Shen Luo’an felt even more frustrated, but he bit his lip and said nothing .

Aunt Lin finally managed to lull the baby to sleep . She heaved a sigh .

The ambulance soon arrived . Shen Luo’an laid her on the stretcher and carried the infant .

“When she wakes up, she’ll want to see the baby . I’ll take him with me . ” Shen Luo’an glanced at Aunt Lin and boarded the ambulance .

The doctor placed Shen Manting on a drip after asking for the cause of her distress .

After Shen Luo’an gave a detailed explanation of what had happened, the doctor simply said, “The patient’s mood is unstable . She may be suffering from postpartum depression, but has been hiding it from you . This is highly likely to be the cause . ”

“I see . ” Shen Luo’an had already seen it coming, having studied medicine himself .

Shen Manting was suffering from postpartum depression . He was not surprised at all .

She isolated herself too much . She would feel provoked easily, lashing out at anything that triggered her . Even trivial matters would touch a raw nerve .

But Shen Manting’s condition had improved lately .

Yet, as aunt Lin said, his violent outburst threw all her efforts out of the window .

Sitting by the hospital bed, Shen Luo’an buried his face in his hands and heaved a leaden sigh .

He was too hasty .

He lacked confidence that he could take care of her and the child without relying on Aunt Lin . So he couldn’t wait to take her back to the capital .

Firstly, he had to let his parents see his son .

Secondly, he wanted to give her and the child the dignity and recognition they rightfully deserved .

The infant needed to register his identity, and so did she .

But now, it was all destroyed .

“Wah… wah… ”

The baby was making noises .

Shen Luo’an turned around and noticed the baby was about to cry . He opened his tiny mouth as if gasping for air .

He picked up the baby and noticed Shen Manting’s body twitching .

Shen Manting’s eyes flew open with a jolt .

Panic showed clearly on her face .

Her horror intensified upon seeing him .

She shrank back . Suddenly, she seemed to have recalled something . She reached out and shouted, “Give me my baby back!”
