Chapter 322 Exploitation of Pregnant Women

Ever since Bo Yiyan promised to keep her safe, Zuo Shan has been going to the school clinic more often.

If it weren't for the fact that she always brought a delicious breakfast, Dr. Bo would have been impatient and kicked her out long ago.

He had grown accustomed to being alone for many years and disliked being disturbed by others.

The reason he agreed to become the school doctor was because the dean promised him that he would never allow outsiders to harass him, and that he could choose not to treat any student who was seriously injured.

Minor injuries can be healed on their own by drinking a bottle of low-level healing potion, without needing to see a doctor.

To put it bluntly, he's basically just retiring here as the school doctor.

He was in charge of the day shift, while his colleague, another school doctor, was in charge of the night shift, handling sudden serious illnesses at night.

In fact, the students at Xiangyun Academy are at least second-tier ability users with strong physiques, so they are unlikely to get sick easily. Therefore, the school doctor is actually the most relaxed job in the entire school.

During the day, the school clinic was practically his laboratory, his own private space. But now, this space was being repeatedly encroached upon by Zuo Shan, an outsider.

"I deeply regret giving you that document on 'fighting poison with poison,' and I especially shouldn't have promised to keep you alive."

Bo Yiyan drank lemon yogurt and ate potato pizza while looking at the woman opposite him with disgust. Since she was diagnosed with pregnancy half a month ago, this was the third time she had come to the school clinic to see him for a pregnancy check-up in fifteen days.

"You're a perfect example of someone who wants to have your cake and eat it too!" Zuo Shan exclaimed.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Bo Yiyan frowned.

"You mean you say one thing but do another! You complain about me while enjoying the food I make. You can't have all the good things in the world by yourself, can you?" Zuo Shan said.

“Hmm, that makes sense, so I’ve tolerated your unreasonable demand for a prenatal checkup every five days, haven’t I?” Bo Yi said.

Ever since she became pregnant with her second child, this woman has become extremely neurotic. Even though the hospital only requires a prenatal check-up once a month, she would always come to see Ah Chen for a prenatal check-up as soon as she returned from her vacation with him.

"Wasn't I trying to make amends? When I was pregnant with Achen, I was terrified that someone rich and powerful would discover his innate genetic warrior physique and take him away from me, so I didn't dare to go for a prenatal checkup."

"Now that we have you here as free labor, and it's a green, safe, and environmentally friendly prenatal checkup, wouldn't it be a waste not to do it a few more times?" Zuo Shan said confidently.

"Hmph! The main thing is that you want me to use some healing abilities on your little one to ensure she's healthy enough, right?" Bo said bluntly.

"Heh, you figured that out. You truly are a great physician who can decide life and death with a single word, even the King of Hell wouldn't dare to snatch someone away!" Zuo Shan chuckled, not forgetting to give a compliment.

Since she became pregnant, whenever his words of life and death were mentioned, she would automatically omit the word "death," making Bo Yiyan start to doubt whether he had really become a kind doctor who only saves lives and does not kill.

After she had eaten and drunk her fill, Bo Yiyan instructed her to lie on the hospital bed, concentrated his supernatural power on her abdomen, carefully examined the condition of the fetus, and incidentally gave the little one in her belly a trace of green healing supernatural power.

The little fetus happily devoured all the green supernatural power, and then slowly began to swim in the amniotic fluid.

"Alright, get up. The baby is perfectly healthy. I don't know what you're worrying about all day long," Bo said.

"Actually, I don't know either, I just always felt that this child was different from Achen."

To put it simply, although Ah Chen was very well-behaved back then, I could always sense that there was a complex connection between us.

But this child, she's like an independent individual; aside from the nourishment from her mother, she seems to need me, her old mother, in the slightest.

"Haha! She probably inherited Modi's aloofness. I'm really looking forward to seeing him fawn over his little girl and get snubbed in the future." Bo laughed heartily.

His laughter dispelled Zuo Shan's worries. She thought that she might really be experiencing pregnancy anxiety, which was why she was so worried about the baby in her belly.

She is two months pregnant, but she hasn't told Xiaobai yet because she didn't realize it herself at first.

The fetus had a very low presence; there was no morning sickness, nor did it cause the pregnant mother any special dietary cravings, such as a sweet tooth, a sour tooth, or a meat craving.

It doesn't even react to the smell of the sea.

If she hadn't suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen her aunt in a long time, she probably wouldn't have noticed.

"By the way, you haven't told that guy yet that he's a dad again, have you?" Bo Yiyan asked slyly, staring at her belly. He was completely unlike the demeanor of a great doctor.

"Not yet. The situation at the vanguard camp is tense lately, with a medium-sized beast tide coming. He's so busy, how could I bother him with such a trivial matter?" Zuo Shan said.

“You didn’t tell Grandpa Caesar either,” Bo said definitively.

"No, I just didn't want him to make a fuss and force me to go back to the old house to rest during my pregnancy, and then find a different tutor for Achen," Zuo Shan said.

“But your belly will be showing next month, you can’t hide it for long,” Bo said.

"Let's keep it a secret for as long as possible. I don't want to end up like those pregnant women in the city center, having to be followed by several people every time I go out to the supermarket, as if they're afraid I'll twist my ankle," Zuo Shan said, feeling very annoyed just thinking about it.

"By the way, does the college have any rules that pregnant women are not allowed to work as tutors?" Zuo Shan asked.

"There doesn't seem to be such a rule. The scions of great families are all quite talented, and once their supernatural ability level exceeds the fourth rank, it becomes very difficult for them to have offspring."

"At least half of the tutors at the academy are the biological mothers of illegitimate children. The probability of them having a second child is close to zero, so the academy probably hasn't considered this issue," Bo Yi said.

“Okay, then I’m relieved. I’ve decided to wait until he comes back before revealing my pregnancy, and ask him to help me stay at the academy to accompany me until I give birth to the baby,” Zuo Shan said.

"Are you determined to force me to become an obstetrician?" Bo gritted his teeth.

"Don't you want to eat delicious breakfasts more often?" Zuo Shan asked with a smile.

“I’ve changed my mind. I’ve decided to raise the price and include dinner as well!” Bo Yi said.

"Deal!" Zuo Shan slapped his hand, took the empty tray from in front of him, and took out another tray with a plate of steaming dumplings, a dipping sauce, and even a bowl of dumpling soup.

"Since you've been so sincere, I'll give you a new document." Bo Yiyan raised his wristwatch and tapped a few times.

Opening the left side reveals a document titled "30 Types of Infant and Toddler Strengthening Agents." Clicking on the table of contents reveals that these agents cover strengthening internal organs, bones, nerves, and more, ranging from level one to level five, corresponding to different age groups from one to five years old.

"No way? Dr. Bo, you're so kind-hearted? You're actually willing to put so much effort into researching medicines specifically for children?" Zuo Shan exclaimed in surprise.

"What do you know? These potions will fetch prices far beyond your imagination at auctions. After all, all the great families are willing to spend a lot of money to cultivate children with outstanding talents."

"These drugs can greatly increase the probability of children under six years old awakening their supernatural abilities. Do you think it's worth my time to research them?" Bo Yi said dismissively.

“But how can you prove the efficacy of the medicine?” Zuo Shan asked.

"Do I, Bo Yiyan, need to prove anything? My name is a gold standard in the Green Algae Star pharmacist industry. You should be grateful to get my formula," Bo Yiyan said with an arrogant grin.

"How about we make a deal? After I've prepared these medicines, you can check their effectiveness. If they're good, we can sell them under your name from now on," Zuo Shan said, her eyes gleaming as she stared at him.

“Otherwise, do you think I would give you this document for free? We’ll split the profits 20/80!” Bo Yi said.

"Wouldn't you be at a huge disadvantage if you split it 20/80?" Zuo Shan said, after all, she understood the concept of intellectual property rights, and even a 30/70 or 40/60 split wouldn't be unreasonable.

"I'm a pretty fair person. My ratio of 80% to 20% is already quite high," Bo Yiyan said with a smile.

Left fan: Don't you feel any remorse for exploiting a pregnant woman like this?
