Shu Ying didn't mean to provoke him, but this was unusual; every time she went to the operating table in the hospital, she had to be prepared for the worst.

Xiao Xueyi wept bitterly, kneeling before the hospital bed, sobbing in anguish.

Xie Zhiyan stood beside him, gently patting his shoulder with one hand. He wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.

It would be too unlucky to tell him to accept his loss prematurely. His expression was serious. Shu Ying nudged his shoulder and lowered her voice, "There might still be hope for Shi Tou. I'll try in a bit, but I'm not entirely sure, so I'd better not tell him yet."

Xie Zhiyan understood immediately. "I'll go and handle the hospital admission procedures. You go outside and calm down. Shitou needs some peace and quiet. Come out, let's talk about the child."

Xiao Xueyi nodded like a walking corpse, stood up woodenly from the ground, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and Shu Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two leave.

She had already examined the child's pulse on the way here. The child's illness was indeed serious, and ordinary medicine would probably be difficult to treat. However, with the spiritual spring water in the space, she was somewhat confident.

“I told you you still need to eat something. These past few days you’ve been saying you can’t eat anything and you’re not eating anything at all. If your body doesn’t absorb any nutrients, you’re bound to get sick. If something happens, my grandson will also feel unwell. Isn’t that just asking for trouble?”

Perhaps because the window wasn't closed properly when she went to sleep last night, Xie Wanying has had a slight cold for the past two days. Wang Yayun saw that she had taken medicine for three days without any improvement, so she insisted on taking her to the hospital for a check-up.

At first, Xie Wanying was unwilling. She hadn't gotten pregnant yet, and if Wang Yayun suddenly wanted her to have a prenatal checkup at the hospital, wouldn't all her carefully planned scheme be exposed?

However, Xie Wenyuan and Fang Hong couldn't help but meddle this time. "You're not alone now. I've heard that some medications are not suitable for pregnant women as they can affect the baby. You should go to the hospital to get checked out. If you find it troublesome, just have the doctor take your pulse; that's safer."

Xie Wanying couldn't bring herself to say what she was about to say, and she reluctantly let her in-laws carry her to the hospital.

Since it was her fate, Xie Wanying had no choice but to choose Western medicine. She couldn't let anyone feel her pulse no matter what. Fortunately, the doctor only gave her fair advice.

"You just caught a chill and caught a cold, it's normal to have a cold. Drink more hot water when you get home. Since you're pregnant, you shouldn't use any medications containing hormones anymore. I'll write you a prescription, you can just go to the lobby on the first floor and get the medicine to take home."

Hearing the doctor say it was just a common cold, Wang Yayun finally felt relieved.

Fang Hong glanced at the time and, thinking of Xie Wanying's unborn child, said, "Since we're already here, why don't we get a check-up at the hospital to see if the baby is healthy?"

Xie Wanying's alarm bells were ringing. She wasn't pregnant at all, so what could she possibly use for a checkup?

Just as she was wondering what to say, Wang Yayun stepped in front of her. "What's the point of this examination? You don't know how much these messy things in the hospital can affect a child. Many of the instruments use electricity, and I've heard they contain radiation. Besides, this isn't a clean place. What if we pass on these harmful things to our grandson?"
