Hsien Ming-yu is currently staying closer to Fengde Hospital, and just as the ambulance arrived at the hospital, Hsien Ming-yu ran ahead of it.

Two accompanying nurses slowly lifted Bai Xiaoru off the stretcher. Although she was covered with a thin blanket, the blood beneath her and the sweat on her forehead soaked her entire body.

Her face was completely devoid of color, and her lips had turned grayish-white.

The moment Xuan Mingyu saw Bai Xiaoruo, his eyes instantly reddened.

His brows furrowed tightly, his heart clenching painfully... He wished he could take her place and bear all that suffering for her.

Xian Mingyu followed beside the stretcher, and together with the nurse pushing the trolley, they pushed Bai Xiaoruo toward the operating room.

Throughout the journey, his eyes never left her.

He was afraid that she would disappear right under his nose if he wasn't careful for the next second.

I felt immense regret and self-blame.

If he had been by her side, she wouldn't have gotten into this mess; if he hadn't given her the cold shoulder and had instead tried to comfort her, she wouldn't be like this; if... there are so many "ifs," but ultimately it's all his fault, he didn't take good care of her.

Ruo'er, promise me, you must not be hurt, you must live on, don't leave me, I really can't live without you...

Just as they were about to be wheeled to the operating room door, Bai Xiaoruo slowly woke up.

She used almost all her strength to grab Xian Mingyu's hand, "You..."

"I'm here. I'll stay with you. Don't talk. You'll be alright. I won't let anything happen to you or the baby. Just get some sleep. Everything will be alright."

Bai Xiaoruo shook her head weakly. Whether she was alright or not didn't matter; she already knew what was going on in her heart.

But, baby... their baby absolutely cannot be hurt.

Her eyes welled up with tears, which unintentionally slid down her cheeks.

She longed to see him a few more times, yet she was also terrified that once she closed her eyes again, she would never see him again.

Bai Xiaoru pleaded, "I have something to tell you... please listen to me first..."

"Okay, okay, I'm listening, I'm listening."

Hsien Ming-yu asked them to put the stretcher on hold for a while.

"What do you want to say?" He held Bai Xiaoruo's hand tightly, squatted down slightly, and leaned close to her ear to listen carefully to what she had to say.

"No matter what, you must save this child... Please... Don't kill him... If... you really can't keep the child... Please, give up on me too..." Before she could finish speaking, her voice grew weaker and weaker, and she had no more strength to hold on, falling into a coma again.

"Ruo'er? Ruo'er!"

No matter how much Xuan Mingyu called out to her, Bai Xiaoruo never woke up again.

Her hands were getting colder and colder.

What happened?

how so?

Xuan Mingyu rubbed Bai Xiaoruo's cold hands repeatedly, hoping to slowly restore their temperature.

No, no... you'll be alright...

You promised to stay with me until the end.

Bai Xiaoruo, you can't break your promise!

The surgeon came out of the operating room anxiously. "What's going on? Why haven't they brought the pregnant woman in yet? If this continues, her life will be in real danger!"

The nurses pulled Xuan Mingyu aside and quickly pushed the stretcher into the operating room.

The operating room door was closed, and the light on the door was on.

Hsien Mingyu slumped down on a bench nearby.

The warmth of her hand still lingered in my palm.

He still found it hard to believe.

How did things get to this point?

This was something he had never imagined.

We've always protected her so well because we're afraid something might happen to her and the baby.

Unexpectedly, this day still came.

It still stemmed from his negligence.

I wish this was just a nightmare, and that when I woke up, she was perfectly fine, lively and energetic, standing right in front of me, instead of being in the operating room.

Besides silently praying for her and the baby's safety, there was nothing he could do.

Halfway through the surgery, the surgeon suddenly came out and immediately gave Xuan Mingyu a critical condition notice, saying, "Are you a family member of this pregnant woman? She is in great danger. You must sign the consent form immediately so that we can continue the surgery."

"What do you mean?" Xuan Mingyu stood up from the bench, bewildered. "I'm her husband. How is she? How dangerous is she? Can I go in and see her?"

The surgeon shook his head and stopped Xian Mingyu. "You should prepare yourself. Her condition is very serious. The baby is definitely not going to survive. You need to sign the papers as soon as possible. She doesn't have much time left."

"What?"

The child... cannot be saved.

How could this be...?

Is there really no way to turn things around?

Xian Mingyu grabbed the doctor's hand, "I can give you any amount of money you need. I want both the child and the mother. You have to save them, or I won't sign this!"

The doctor was in a difficult position: "Saving lives is our duty, and no doctor would intentionally want to harm an innocent life. We really did our best."

"Your wife already has anemia and is weaker than average, so it's not suitable for her to conceive at this time. This baby is less than five months old, and even if it could stay, it would eventually die in the womb for other reasons. It's impossible for it to be born! Sir, you should sign the papers quickly, otherwise, you won't even be able to save the mother!"
