Despair crossed Lu Qing's face, and she momentarily lost her balance. Qiu Ling quickly stepped forward to support her. Li Ke glanced at the three little girls who remained rooted to the spot.

The three girls looked to be no more than fourteen or sixteen years old. They were huddled together with their heads down, and none of them looked up in their direction.

Lu Qing threw herself in front of the female doctor: "Sister, help me! I'd rather die than live. As long as I can get rid of it, I'm not afraid of death or pain!"

At this moment, four or five more women came over together: "We are the same. We can't keep this child. Please, sister, give us some guidance or a solution so that we can suffer less."

The female doctor replied with great difficulty, "I've only seen cases of colds and flu, I've never done this before!"

Li Ke ignored the female doctor's constant gaze; she wouldn't influence these women's decisions. Besides, in this day and age, how could one raise a child? There's a huge difference between abortion and birth.

The three little girls seemed to say a few words together. One of them stood up, walked over, and carefully approached Lu Qing. She whispered, "Sister Lu, let's go back and rest for a while. You can't be so emotional right now."

Lu Qing felt the strength on her arm, looked up at the girl, finally nodded, stood up with her, and slowly walked back.

Watching this scene, Li Ke felt quite disjointed. The Lu Qing in front of her was both resolute and gentle, and she didn't reveal a trace of the scheming and hypocrisy that Li Ke knew.

Qiu Ling draped her arm over the back of Li Ke's chair. Although her benefactor was wearing a helmet, Qiu Ling's keen senses allowed her to perceive his attention to Sister Lu.

Qiu Ling spontaneously explained, "Those girls must have heard that the risks of abortion were too great, which is why they came to drag Sister Lu away. They must be afraid that if Sister Lu dies or gets too sick, no one will take care of them. They're such bloodsuckers!"

"Sister Lu is pitiful. She voluntarily offered herself to those people to protect them from being bullied, and only then did she find out she was pregnant. The men here want women to be pregnant so they can have the child. Sister Lu doesn't dare to have an abortion on her own because of these three heartless men."

"However, judging from Sister Lu's belly, if it's really five or six months along, the child might not have been conceived here. It's very likely that she was bullied before."

Li Ke no longer intends to kill Lu Qing, but she also has no intention of helping Lu Qing. In any case, Lu Qing had disgusted Li Ke quite a bit in her previous life. If it weren't for Lu Qing's sneak attack from behind, Li Ke wouldn't have died so tragically later.

But as a blessing in disguise, she was reborn.

Lu Qing hasn't turned evil yet, and just because she's pregnant, Li Ke can't do anything to her right now.

"Don't just sit here any longer. Hurry up and set up defenses on your own territory. I'm leaving tonight, and you won't have many more places to use me," Li Ke said in a low voice, leaning back in his chair.

Qiu Ling was taken aback: "So fast? I thought you had your eye on Sister Lu, and I could have helped you two get together."

Li Ke said coldly, "Don't be so self-righteous. People who like to think they're clever usually don't end up well."

Qiu Ling looked embarrassed for a moment, but she paused before saying, "I understand. I'll go talk to someone about it. Big brother, can you wait for us a little longer?"

Li Ke checked the time: "It's 4:30 pm now. I'll be leaving after 10 pm tonight. You still have time. If it's just a small favor, I'm willing to help. Remember, men can't be relied on, but they can be used in special circumstances. Women who want to depend on men are even more useless. You must keep your eyes open when choosing a business partner."

Qiu Ling's heart, which had just been a little hurt, immediately recovered: "Yes, I remember it all. Big brother, wait for me to come back."

After calming the women down, the female doctor told them to go back and wait, then approached Li Ke and said, "Boss, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
