Chapter 15: The Child Is Lost

That night, Lin Qingxiang stayed at the hospital with Lin Qin and Liu Yaya, keeping watch over Chen Wenjun until the surgery was completed the next morning before he left.

No sooner had Lin Qingxiang left than Liu Yongming arrived, carrying some fruit and other items.

Lin Qin fixed him with a steely gaze, shielding the child behind her. "What are you here for?"

Liu Yongming scrutinized Lin Yi lying in the bed and grinned slyly. "Lin Qin, look at your father—he’s useless and can’t even help you. Now you have to take care of Yaya. Do you think you can handle her? I came to take my daughter back today. She won’t have a good life with you."

Frightened, Liu Yaya clutched Lin Qin’s pants, trying to hide behind her.

Liu Yongming stepped closer, coaxing, "Yaya, be good. Come to Daddy, listen to me! Or else Daddy will get angry!"

But Liu Yaya kept dodging him desperately. Liu Yongming’s face darkened immediately. "Didn’t you hear Daddy? Come out here!"

Tears streamed down Liu Yaya’s face as she cried out in fear.

A nurse entered, warning sharply, "Family members, please do not cause disturbances in the ward and disturb the patient’s rest."

"Yes, yes, we understand," Liu Yongming instantly switched to a polite facade in front of others.

Only after the nurse left did he reveal his true grim expression, cornering Lin Qin and Liu Yaya and remaining stubbornly unmoving.

"I’m telling you, Lin Qin, without your father’s help, you’re nothing! Today, I’m taking Yaya no matter what. Even the heavens won’t stop me! When you obediently clear my sister’s name, then I might consider forgiving you!"

Liu Yongming looked haughty and arrogant, utterly fearless.

"Bah! If you want to take my daughter, you’re dreaming!"

Lin Qin spat boldly in Liu Yongming’s face without hesitation.

Liu Yongming sneered viciously, wiping the spit off and grabbing Lin Qin’s neck with both hands. "Shameless bitch!"

"Mom, Mom..." Liu Yaya screamed, terrified.

At that moment, Lin Ying and Xu Dahai burst into the ward, aghast.

Without hesitation, Xu Dahai stepped forward and pulled Liu Yongming away. "Let her go!"

Seeing this, Lin Qin decisively raised her foot and kicked Liu Yongming hard in the crotch.

The pain shot through Liu Yongming’s body; his eyes nearly bulged out as his face flushed red. Speechless, he released Lin Qin and bent over, clutching himself.

Lin Qin then angrily kicked him on the head again, leaning against the bedside as she coughed to vent her anger.

Lin Ying, confused by the situation, picked up the frightened Liu Yaya to comfort her. "What happened?"

Lin Qin turned to Xu Dahai. "Brother-in-law, this scumbag tried to kill me, wants to snatch Yaya, cursed my father—help me kick him out... Wait, check if he has any money on him. Dad’s surgery cost a lot."

Without hesitation, Xu Dahai searched him.

Liu Yongming couldn’t resist the strong farmhand, shouting angrily and pained, "Lin Qin, how dare you! This is robbery, I’m calling the police!"

Lin Qin sneered coldly. "Go ahead! Let’s settle the accounts together—myI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
