Blue Duke Coffee Shop is the largest chain coffee shop in the area.

I sit by the window, drinking my third cup of coffee.

It's been five hours since I went to see Dr. Li this afternoon.

The glass window reflects the hazy street lights, and I finally see Dr. Li's figure.

Dr. Li pushes the door open, sits opposite me, and takes off his hat, holding it in his hand.

"Miss Xiang, Lin Anan's situation is very complicated."

In Dr. Li's unhurried narration, I finally heard a different story.

Lin Anan was seven months pregnant at that time and was sent to the hospital during a critical period of massive bleeding.

Dr. Li tried his best and worked all night to finally save Lin Anan.

But because of the massive bleeding, the child had already lost its heartbeat, and her uterus was removed.

Such severe consequences were due to violent impacts on Lin Anan's abdomen.

There were also many traces of beatings on other parts of her body at different times.

It was already Dr. Li's superb medical skills that saved Lin Anan's life this time.

Unexpectedly, what greeted Dr. Li the next day was not gratitude but the iron fists of the Lin family.

After seeing Dr. Li's diagnosis report, the Lin family made a scene at the hospital, shouting that he was an incompetent doctor.

They even brought a few relatives to cry and make a fuss at the hospital gate, accusing the doctor of killing their grandson and making their daughter unable to give birth.

The hospital was in chaos, and in the end, they had no choice but to compensate eight thousand yuan.

This is why Dr. Li looked angry and scared when he heard Lin Anan's name.

The Lin family left with the compensation money, leaving Lin Anan alone in the hospital to recuperate.

Except for Shen Bing, who often brought various supplements to see her, no one else cared about her.

At this point, Dr. Li paused, his expression complicated.

"Lin Anan's husband is not genuinely good to her. I've seen a few people like this."

During Lin Anan's hospitalization, Shen Bing appeared to take meticulous care of her.

But Dr. Li, who often came to check on the situation, found that Lin Anan was always uneasy in front of Shen Bing, even a little scared.

Once, Dr. Li accidentally left his notebook in the ward.

When he went back to get it, he heard Shen Bing cursing Lin Anan at the door:

"Your parents sold you to me to give me a child. Do you think you're worth the forty thousand yuan dowry? Now you can't even have a child, what else can you do?"

"You useless thing, I used to beat you before, and now you lose the baby with just a few punches? Just wait until you get out of the hospital, I'll deal with you."

Dr. Li deliberately coughed before walking in, and Shen Bing immediately reverted to his gentlemanly demeanor, politely greeting him.

Hearing this, my heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

Anan had been living in such deep distress, while I was immersed in the past, brooding over our fallout and never asking about her life.

At this moment, I wished I could kill Shen Bing, but that would be too easy for him.

Dr. Li clenched the hat in his hand.

"I once privately asked Lin Anan if she wanted to call the police. I could help her with the necessary proof, but she just shook her head."

I think I know why Anan didn't dare to report to the police, she's still so foolish.

"Anyway, thank you, Dr. Li, thank you for the help you gave her."

Dr. Li shook his head, "I didn't really help her, otherwise she wouldn't have..."

The rest of the words remained unspoken. Both of us fell silent and quietly finished our coffee.
