The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: The Confusing Drowning Incident

Huo Tingdong said, “Just bear with it a bit.”

In his youth, he had served in the special forces for a while, where bruises and injuries were inevitable. The army doctor had taught him a technique to promote blood circulation and disperse blood stasis which had long been lost, but was very effective.

Lin Qi cried out in pain, biting her lips, enduring for a while. As Huo Tingdong’s technique gradually became gentler, the swollen area miraculously reduced.

Lin Qi asked in surprise, “Is your technique really that effective?”

Huo Tingdong asked, “Is it better now?”

“Umm…”

Nearby, a few passing women couldn’t help but say enviously, “Look at that couple, they have such a great relationship. The husband is even massaging his wife’s feet!”

“That husband is so handsome! Tall and dignified, and also so considerate and gentle…”

Lin Qi raised her head and looked at Huo Tingdong.

He was looking down, still gently massaging around her joints, but as her gaze moved to his thin lips, her face stiffened for a moment and she quickly looked away, her cheeks involuntarily reddening.

Huo Tingdong released his hand, “Alright, go back and apply heat on it, rest for a couple of days and it should be fine.”

“Umm…”

The doctor came out and said to Huo Tingdong, “The young master has woken up, we’ll transfer him to a ward shortly and observe him overnight. If there’s nothing serious, he can be discharged tomorrow.”

Huo Tingdong nodded.

Mo Ke arrived quickly; Han had already been transferred to a ward. Standing at the doorway, Mo Ke expressed his concern, “How is the young master doing?”

Huo Tingdong replied, “It’s nothing serious.”

Mo Ke asked, “Should we notify the Old Madam?”

Huo Tingdong responded, “Let’s not disturb her unnecessarily and make her worry. Just say that Han stayed out too late after school today and won’t be coming home.”

“Understood,” Mo Ke nodded, “I’ll report back to the Old Madam.”

Huo Tingdong suddenly stopped him, “Also, investigate the incident with Han properly to find out exactly what happened.”

Han wouldn’t have gone to the school’s swimming pool for no reason, nor would he have accidentally fallen into the water and drowned.

Huo Tingdong was determined to clarify the sequence of events leading to the incident.

Mo Ke replied, “I’ll go to the school to check the surveillance right away.”

“Umm.”

Following Huo Tingdong’s order, Mo Ke immediately went to the school to investigate.

During the night.

Lin Qi and Momo stayed in the hospital to watch over Han. Huo Tingdong originally intended to send them home, but Lin Qi was too anxious to leave.

In the ward, Han drifted back to sleep in a daze. At 7:30, he woke up again, mumbling unclearly for “Aunt Qiqi.”

Lin Qi immediately went to the bedside, gently holding his hand, “Han, Auntie is here, I’m here with you, I’m not going anywhere.”

With sleepy eyes, Han looked at Lin Qi, hooking his small hand around hers, reluctant to let go.

Lin Qi tightly grasped his hand back, and Han then comfortably fell asleep again.

Huo Tingdong had some things he wanted to ask Lin Qi, but as Han was holding Lin Qi’s hand without letting go, he did not want to disturb Han, so he held back his questions.

Once Han’s condition stabilized, he then turned his attention to Momo.

In the ward, Momo had been quietly staying in the corner, still in his dirty clothes, which he hadn’t had time to change, and there were some bruises on his body.

Huo Tingdong asked, “What happened to you?”

Momo frowned and simply said, “Bumped into something.”

Huo Tingdong asked, “How did you end up bumping into something like that?”

Momo said, “I was locked in the storeroom by a classmate, and I wanted to break the door to get out.” He looked toward Huo Tingdong and said, “I was worried something might happen to Han.”

Huo Tingdong asked, “Who found Han at the swimming pool?”

This question, he couldn’t comprehend, and it was also something he had always wanted to ask Lin Qi about.

Ms. Mia said that for safety reasons, the door to the swimming pool was locked from the outside, and without a key, it was impossible to open it. If Lin Qi had not forcibly broken in, entry would have been impossible.

The entire swimming pool seemed to have formed a sealed space.

How Han got in there and how he nearly drowned in the pool was unknown.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Momo’s eyes.

He was unsure whether to explain to Huo Tingdong, fearing he might not believe him.

Huo Tingdong said, “Momo, tell me, how did you know something happened to Han in the swimming pool?”

Momo said, “Intuition.”

Huo Tingdong felt somewhat astonished by this answer, “Intuition?”

Momo said, “Specifically, I can’t describe it to you, it’s just an intuition, a feeling that he might be there and in trouble. That’s why I rushed over with Mommy.”

Such mysterious matters were indeed like fairy tales, baffling to comprehend.

Huo Tingdong felt that merely “intuition” was hardly an explanation.

Momo said, “Whether you believe it or not, that was my intuition.” He still hadn’t fully recovered from the shock, thinking that if he hadn’t trusted his intuition, perhaps… Han couldn’t have been rescued.

He followed his intuition, and unexpectedly, Han really did have an accident.

At that moment, Momo’s brain had totally shut down, not until afterward did he realize and broke out in cold sweat.

Huo Tingdong murmured, “This is simply unbelievable.”

Momo said, “I don’t know who took Han there, maybe when Han wakes up, we can find out.”

Huo Tingdong uttered a sound of agreement, looked at Momo, and said, “Momo, thank you.”

Momo’s face flushed slightly, “No need to thank me.” He didn’t want anything bad to happen to Han; at that moment, he hadn’t thought much. If Lin Qi hadn’t jumped into the water first, he would have also dived in without hesitation to save Han.

Even though he was not good at swimming.

Perhaps, it was all driven by instinct.

Actually, Momo had a suspect in mind.

Fang Heng, Mrs. Fang’s son. Momo suspected that after he punched Fang Heng during a self-study class, the guy held a grudge, might have tricked Han to the swimming pool and pushed him into the water.

But Fang Heng was only seven years old, how could a child so young dare to do such a heinous act?

This was a matter of life and death.

Moreover, he had no evidence.

Momo was waiting for Han to wake up.

Huo Tingdong said, “I’ll take you home for a bath.”

Momo looked at his dirty clothes and then at Han, who was lying on the bed.

Lin Qi was lying by the bedside, guarding Han, perhaps exhausted and had fallen asleep.

Huo Tingdong and the nurse took a thin blanket, covered Lin Qi with it, instructed the nurse to take good care of Lin Qi and Han, then took Momo home for a bath.

After Momo had his bath, it was already 2 am.

The little guy was so sleepy he could hardly stand straight, but he insisted on going to the hospital.

Huo Tingdong had no choice but to carry him to the car. Just after fastening Momo’s seatbelt, he suddenly received a call from Lin Qi.

“Huo Tingdong, Han has woken up…” Lin Qi’s voice came through, slightly tired and hoarse, “The doctor has examined Han and said there’s nothing seriously wrong now.”
