Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

Chapter 118: The Child Whom the Father and the Mother Do Not Love 9

Ye Jingming was very dissatisfied when the doctor scolded him, but he dared not refute. He just listened to the doctor's instructions honestly. He only worried after entering the ward that he had to go to work during the day and he could not stay in the hospital to take care of the patient.

After the injection, the first love's stomach pain was not so severe, but she started to get upset again, yelling that Ye Jingming shouldn't have bullied her and hit her, and that it was all his fault that she had a miscarriage.

Receiving the slightly condemning looks from the pregnant women and their families around him, Ye Jingming felt so choked up that he had nowhere to vent. He had to go to work during the day, and he couldn't stay in the hospital all the time, so he called his mother-in-law to come and take care of her.

Both his first love and mother-in-law were a little unhappy, but Ye Jingming was also angry and didn't want to care about it anymore. If they didn't come, he would hire a nurse. It wasn't to the point where he couldn't move.

The first love wanted to make a scene, but her stomach hurt when she moved, so she could only let Ye Jingming go for the time being. The two of them were still in the mood to make a scene, but they both forgot one thing, that is, the first love's child was still alone in the rental house.

It wasn’t until my first love’s biological mother arrived and didn’t see her grandson that she asked them, “Where is Xiaobao?”

"Ahhh! I forgot him at home." First Love cried out, holding her stomach.

Ye Jingming frowned. It was normal for him to forget. How could his own mother forget? Never mind. The situation was urgent at the time. My dear probably didn't do it on purpose. He would go home soon, so nothing would happen.

He thought so, and his first love also felt that it wouldn't take long and nothing would happen. Only his mother-in-law was a little worried, but the old woman's words were regarded as nagging and no one listened carefully.

Ye Jingming came out of the hospital and slowly headed towards his rental house. As soon as he stepped into the community, he heard the sound of a fire truck and the noise of neighbors watching the excitement, as if a building was on fire.

He was a little curious, and looked up at the sky and found that there was indeed smoke coming out, but he didn't know which building was so unlucky. There were strangers all around, and he didn't want to ask about the situation, so he continued to walk back slowly. The closer he got to the rental house, the more neighbors came to watch the fun, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, could it be the building where he lived?

"Stop, the road ahead is closed."

Ye Jingming was stopped by the property staff, and at the same time he got the correct answer from the staff that the fire was indeed in the building where he lived.

"Please let me through. I need to go home. My child is home alone and I don't know if he has escaped."

"What? How old is the child?"

Ye Jingming was furious. Even when he was in a hurry, he kept asking, "Kindergarten kid, please let me go quickly."

"You left kindergarten children home alone, what if something happened?" the staff member yelled angrily. Even if there was no fire, accidents are prone to happen when leaving young children home alone.

"I know I was wrong, please let me pass."

The staff let Ye Jingming pass and called colleagues to help, hoping that the child was okay. However, no matter how fast Ye Jingming ran, it was useless. The staff had an easy time. When he really got upstairs, the firefighters had already started to put out the fire, and all the people were evacuated. If anyone wanted to break in, they would definitely be stopped.

Even if there are children at home, they will come to rescue people if you tell them the door number. Ordinary people should not go in and cause trouble. Ye Jingming also knows this truth. Even if he is anxious, he can only be obedient. He can't disobey. Firefighters are not property staff. He can achieve his goal by yelling a few words.

Just standing aside waiting for the results, his heart beat faster, for he was afraid that something might happen and affect his first love. He was looking forward to their child being born healthy, and the doctor had told him not to be stimulated again.

After anxiously waiting, the firefighters appeared holding the child. The child looked uninjured, but was unconscious and had to be sent to the hospital for examination.

So Ye Jingming, who had just returned from the hospital, followed the ambulance to the hospital again. He was worried all the way. When he arrived at the hospital, the doctor confirmed that the child was fine and had fainted due to inhaling too much smoke. He would wake up soon after rescue.

It's good that he's fine, but he can't sleep at night. The child is still young, and it's impossible for him to be left to the caregiver when he wakes up. Who else can stay in the hospital except him?

The next day, the doctor agreed to discharge the child after finding no other problems.

Ye Jingming had already taken a day off, so he was not in a hurry to go back to work, but took his child to the First Love's ward. When he saw his eldest son, First Love felt a little guilty and remembered that he had not asked about the child's condition at home alone last night. Fortunately, nothing happened.

Less than two minutes after they sat down and before they started chatting, Ye Jingming's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. After he answered it, it turned out to be the property management, who said they wanted to investigate the cause and asked him to go back and cooperate in making a statement.

Ye Jingming was in a very bad mood after not sleeping all night, and his words were full of anger: "What does it have to do with me? Why do you want me to go back? We were not at home yesterday."

Property staff are used to being bullied and scolded, but Ye Jingming's attitude is relatively good. He can still tell him calmly: "But the fire started from your floor. Some people even saw that it started from your house. If you don't cooperate, we can only call the police."

The property management is just cooperating with the fire department. When they encounter uncooperative owners or tenants, they have their own iron fists waiting for them. He doesn't believe that such people dare to be so tough with the fire department.

Ye Jingming really didn't dare and could only go back and cooperate with the investigation.

The first love waited for him to hang up the phone and asked anxiously: "What happened?"

"It's nothing. You rest well in the hospital. I will take the child home." In fact, he didn't want to take care of his first love's child, but his mother-in-law said she couldn't take care of it, so he had to take care of the child.

When the property management company met the firefighters, he said he didn't believe the fire started from his house, and there was nothing in the house that could cause a fire. The weather was neither hot nor cold, there was no electric oven, no air conditioning, no one was cooking in the kitchen, and all electrical appliances except the refrigerator were turned off.

He couldn't figure it out, but the fire department used evidence to prove that the source of the fire was in their living room, a cotton doll. As for how it started, they would have to ask their parents and the only child at home at the time.

Ye Jingming's face was dark. He knew nothing and decided to ask the child.

"Xiaobao, what did you do at home yesterday?"

Xiaobao shook his head: "I don't know."

"Why did the house catch fire?"

"do not know."

The staff saw that Ye Jingming asked the child in a serious manner, but the child kept answering "I don't know" and decided to ask someone else in a different way. They found a young man to get close to the child and asked him questions while playing games.

Xiaobao was having a great time, answering whatever was asked. When the staff saw that the answers were not uniform, they started asking about what happened yesterday.

"Burning tissue paper is fun, but it went out after a while, so I wanted to try whether the cotton doll can be burned." Xiao Bao was afraid of being spanked, so he didn't want to answer Ye Jingming's question. He didn't mean to do it, but the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and he didn't know what to do.
