Chapter 178 Mothers Are Not That Fragile
When he first saw Ji Mingxue, Stephen Romanov's eyes flashed with surprise.
As the only 3S-level Omega in the empire, Ji Mingxue is extremely famous among the Alphas in the entire empire.
Ji Mingxue not only came from the Ji family, the first family in the empire, but also had an exquisite appearance, as bright and beautiful as a blooming rose.
At the same time, this stunningly beautiful woman also possesses extremely high martial arts skills and is also the little-known crown prince of the empire. She can be called the most beautiful woman on the top of Leman.
Such a peerless beauty like a thorny rose, and a 3S-level Omega, even though she already has a lover, still makes many Alphas like Stephen feel itchy and their desire to conquer her is simply overwhelming.
Because of this, from the moment Ji Mingxue appeared, Stephen's eyes were fixed on him, so unscrupulous that he seemed to have completely forgotten where he was, and completely ignored Ji Mingxue's obviously sarcastic expression and tone.
Ji Mingxue: ...
This was not the first time Ji Mingxue had met an ignorant and dissolute Alpha like Stephen Romanov.
In the past, Ji Mingxue never showed mercy when facing an Alpha who dared to offend him with such a disgusting look.
Just as he was attaching his mental power to his fist and preparing to give Stephen a big fight, Stephen, who looked wretched, suddenly screamed and hunched over, "Ahhh my eyes!!!"
Ji Mingxue keenly sensed a subtle and familiar fluctuation of mental power in the air, and his heart moved, and he subconsciously looked around.
When Ji Mingxue saw the cold green color in Shen Qingzhu's eyes, a smile suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she was a little surprised. She was surprised that Shen Qingzhu would be angry, and even angry enough to use her mental power to teach Stephen a lesson in front of so many people.
All this happened in just a flash.
So much so that no one present knew what was happening.
After Ji Mingxue came out, Stephen Romanov suddenly started covering his eyes and screaming.
Mrs. Romanov, who had been silent the whole time, saw this and quickly stepped forward to hug Stephen. "Baby, baby, what's wrong with you? Doctor! Doctor, come and take a look at my little Stephen!"
Everyone present was speechless, because Stephen was almost 60 years old and was a tall and strong Alpha in his prime, but he was still called "baby" by his Omega mother.
However, from the indifferent expressions of the Romanov family's butler and bodyguards, it is not difficult to see that Stephen and Mrs. Romanov usually get along in this way at home.
Thinking of this, Lin Qin and Xue Guanlan, Xue Congjia's mothers, looked unhappy.
The only two doctors present were Shen Qingzhu and Ethan.
As Omegas, Ethan and Lin Qin have both been exposed to mental power during this period, so they naturally sensed something just now.
Although they were not sure whether the mental power belonged to Shen Qingzhu or Ji Mingxue, they were very clear that the reason why Stephen was suddenly taught a lesson was obviously because he offended these two.
If Shen Qingzhu were to examine Stephen at this time, it would undoubtedly be bad for both parties.
So even though he was very dissatisfied with the Romanovs, Ethan still pulled his beard and took the initiative to examine Stephen.
After a moment, Ethan put down his hand with a smile and said to Mrs. Romanoff who was looking at him nervously, "Mr. Stephen's eyes are not damaged at all."
Mrs. Romanoff's face was tense, her eyes full of doubt and dissatisfaction, "If there was nothing wrong, why did my little Stephen feel so much pain just now?! You don't have any tools on you, what can you check with just your hands and the optical computer?!"
"No, I want to take the baby for a comprehensive check-up!"
After saying this, Mrs. Romanov immediately looked at the old duke who had remained silent, and her voice suddenly softened, "Dear, I want to take the baby away for a while."
Duke Romanov was a nobleman who was proud and arrogant.
Ever since Shen Qingzhu met him, this powerful old Alpha has been watching coldly. No matter when Shen Qingzhu drove away the Romanov family's bodyguards or when his son Stephen had eye problems, he did not say a word. He just watched the scenes coldly as if it had nothing to do with him.
It was not until he heard Mrs. Romanov's words that the old duke finally lowered his eyes to look at Stephen, who was still covering his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Does it still hurt now?"
Actually, it doesn’t hurt anymore.
The actual pain lasted less than half a minute.
But because he felt that the scream just now was too embarrassing, especially in front of Ji Mingxue, Stephen wanted to pretend to be seriously injured and let his mother take him away.
It was not until he heard the voice of A's father and sensed the dissatisfaction and impatience in his voice that Stephen left his mother's arms. He rubbed his eyes pretentiously and laughed, "...It doesn't seem to hurt that much now, haha."
Upon seeing this, the Duchess immediately began to ask about his well-being.
The old duke suddenly gestured to the butler, asking him to take the bodyguards out first.
The butler hesitated and whispered, "But the Seventh Young Master seems to have suffered an unknown attack just now..."
The old duke sneered faintly and said nothing more. He just glanced coldly at the butler.
The butler suddenly fell silent, not daring to say another word, and quickly left with more than a dozen bodyguards behind him.
So, when Mrs. Romanov finished coaxing her almost 60-year-old baby and turned around, she found that there were only three of them left on her side.
The Duchess immediately looked at the old Duke in surprise.
But the old duke raised his chin slightly, indicating that she should deal with those outsiders.
This is the Duchess' daily routine.
Duke Romanov held a high position of power and was busy with many affairs. He usually dealt with major issues concerning the life and death of the entire empire.
So since she married into the Romanov family, for more than 160 years, these trivial matters in life, including raising children, have always been Mrs. Romanov's job.
When the Duchess saw the old Duke's eyes, she knew it was her turn.
After patting her baby son's back soothingly, Mrs. Romanoff simply tidied her appearance, quickly straightened her back, and took a few steps forward gracefully, as if nothing had just happened. She nodded modestly, "Now let's talk about the treatment plan for little Stephen Omega."
Shen Qingzhu always felt that many nobles in the empire were like chameleons.
Even if they are in a miserable state one second ago, they can still pretend nothing happened in the next second and maintain their seemingly decent "dignity".
Shen Qingzhu didn't say anything, but stepped forward and said, "I need to take a look at the patient's specific condition before I can give you a treatment plan."
Mrs. Romanov suddenly frowned, looked Shen Qingzhu up and down, and said, "I know you. You are Shen Qingzhu, a civilian Alpha."
"Xue Congjia is our Romanov family's Omega. How can we let an Alpha examine her body?"
Lin Qin's face immediately turned dark, and she was about to rush out to confront the Duchess.
Xue Guanlan pulled her back and stepped forward, saying, "I told you before you brought Congjia here that we would not interfere with Congjia's treatment, and I hope the Romanovs will not intervene. Madam, have you forgotten what I said then?"
Xue Guanlan was an S-class Alpha in his prime. When the Duchess first met her, her heart skipped a beat.
But then, she remembered that Xue Guanlan and Lin Qin both came from ordinary families, and the reason why her little Stephen married Xue Congjia, an Omega who couldn't lay eggs, was entirely because the Xue family was marrying up to the Romanov family.
Because of this, she has always looked down on Xue Congjia over the years.
In the Duchess's view, even if Xue Congjia's mother Xue Guanlan was the principal of the First Military Academy, she was far inferior to a finger of the Romanov family.
As for this Lin Qin who suddenly appeared, he was an Omega with damaged glands and no moral integrity, who spent all day hanging around in the military academy.
Xue Congjia actually has such a disabled mother, no wonder she has had difficulty in giving birth in recent years.
When she thought of this, the Duchess's eyes suddenly showed some contempt, and she said to Xue Guanlan arrogantly, "Since Xue Congjia has married into the Romanov family, she is naturally a member of the Romanov family in life and a ghost of the Romanov family in death. Naturally, she must abide by the Romanov family rules and must not have any contact with outsiders."
"She has occupied the position of Mrs. Stephen for many years, and has been well fed and served. If she hadn't finally gotten pregnant this year, I would have suspected that she had a genetic problem."
"As a result, she was in a state of panic every day after only two months of pregnancy, and she almost had a miscarriage several times."
"I've lived for so many years, and I've never seen such a useless Omega who acts like this."
"But even so, I still hired so many doctors for her."
"There aren't many mothers-in-law as good as me in the whole empire, right?"
"You guys are not grateful at all. You insisted on bringing her to the Academy Planet and even let this Alpha who hasn't even fully grown her hair treat her."
"Do you really care about your daughter, or do you want to use Xue Congjia to get close to this young 3S-level Alpha?"
After she finished speaking, she saw that Xue Guanlan and Shen Qingzhu were all shocked, as if she had exposed their thoughts. The contempt in the Duchess's eyes became even stronger, and she said arrogantly, "I'm putting this here today. If you really dare to let this Alpha contact Xue Congjia, I will sue you for sexual harassment."
"Shen Qingzhu, you don't want to be charged with sexual harassment before you even graduate, do you?"
"And this one," the Duchess suddenly looked at Ji Mingxue. Although she knew Ji Mingxue's identity, she did not have much respect for Ji Mingxue. She only said in a pointed way, "You don't want your Alpha to do such an improper thing, do you?"
Ji Mingxue: ...
Shen Qingzhu: ...
Ethan: ...
Lin Qin: ...
Xue Guanlan: ...
To be honest, they haven't encountered this type of idiot for a long time, because with their status, it is almost impossible for them to be slapped in the face by someone who can say such things.
But Ji Mingxue immediately retorted, "Shen Qingzhu is a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded. He has made immeasurable contributions to the empire. Please don't insult him!"
"Madam, when you say this, aren't you afraid that the Romanov family's Omegas won't be able to use the new inhibitor he developed in the future?"
The Duchess choked for a moment, suddenly remembering the recent rumor that Shen Qingzhu had developed an advanced Omega inhibitor.
Although her glands have completely become inactive due to her age and she can no longer secrete pheromones and has no estrus period, there are still many Omegas in the Romanov family.
Although Omegas are just bargaining chips for marriage in the Romanov family, if Shen Qingzhu and Ji Mingxue really hold a grudge, it is hard to guarantee that families that are on good terms with the Romanov family will not be implicated.
Those families also have high-level Omegas.
Thinking of this, the Duchess's face suddenly darkened.
But she still insisted, "Xue Congjia is my son's Omega, I will never let a foreigner touch her!"
After enduring for a long time, Lin Qin finally stepped forward and said viciously, "Then let Cong Jia divorce him! If you dare to delay Dr. Shen from treating my daughter again, I will kill you!"
The murderous look immediately frightened the Duchess, and she almost fell to the ground.
Stephen behind her quickly supported the Duchess and frowned at Lin Qin, "Who are you? How dare you speak to my mother like that?!"
Xue Guanlan's eyes suddenly turned cold and stern when he heard this. He said in a deep voice, "She is Congjia's mother! I should have told you when we went to pick up Congjia!"
Intimidated by Xue Guanlan's S-level Alpha's aura, Stephen's calves suddenly went weak. He then saw that all the bodyguards behind him had withdrawn, and the old Duke looked at him and his mother coldly, with no intention of taking action. Stephen suddenly felt timid in his heart, and curled his lips slightly without saying a word.
“Squeak.”
When the situation was tense, the door of the ward suddenly opened and a medical assistance robot rolled out.
"Doctor Shen, Doctor Ethan, Ms. Xue Congjia, please come into the ward for the consultation."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhu nodded calmly to the people standing at the door, and then pushed the door open with Teacher Ethan.
The Duchess immediately wanted to step forward to stop them, but Lin Qin and Xue Guanlan were still watching closely, and her son Stephen did not stop them for some reason.
The Duchess gritted her teeth and looked at the Alpha Shen Qingzhu hatefully as he entered Xue Congjia's ward.
Before entering the ward, Shen Qingzhu touched Ji Mingxue's fingertips soothingly.
Not until the door was closed, completely isolating the Duchess's strong presence from the room, did Shen Qingzhu heave a sigh of relief and exchange a smile with Teacher Ethan.
Although everyone in the Romanov family was very nice, especially the Duchess who was always talking about Omega, Shen Qingzhu was not really angry because she had met many similar patients' families before and had heard many similar remarks.
Compared with this, Shen Qingzhu was more concerned about the old duke who had been secretly observing him.
I don’t know what the noble who has been watching from the sidelines is thinking.
But Shen Qingzhu could still clearly sense his indifference towards his wife and son.
But now is not the time to think about these things.
The most important thing now is to see Xue Congjia's situation first.
Because Shen Qingzhu and Ethan were coming to see a doctor, Xue Congjia had now been transferred from the treatment cabin to the hospital bed.
Although she is pregnant, her body is very pale and thin, there is no blood on her lips, and her face is so gray and dull that she doesn't look like a living person.
Judging from his skeleton, Xue Congjia's stature was not as petite as many Omegas. His delicate face had become so thin that only a thin layer of skin barely covered his bones.
Even though Shen Qingzhu already knew that Xue Congjia's current physical condition was very poor when he saw her physical examination report, but now that he saw her in person, Shen Qingzhu still frowned slightly.
Although Xue Congjia was weak, he was in good spirits.
After seeing the young Alpha doctor frown, although he was a little disappointed, he still jokingly said, "Doctor, am I hopeless?"
Hearing her thin, mosquito-like but carefree voice, Shen Qingzhu paused, exchanged glances with Teacher Ethan, and jokingly replied, "Although your physical examination results are indeed very bad, you are not completely hopeless."
"However, we will have to wait until further examination to know how to treat it."
Speaking of this, Shen Qingzhu suddenly remembered what Mrs. Romanov had said outside the ward just now.
He paused and continued, "During further examination, Teacher Ethan and I will not touch or see your body. Only medical robots and nanorobots will be needed for assistance."
"However, because we need to check the situation inside the reproductive cavity, the nanorobots will need to explore inside the reproductive cavity."
"Can you accept this?"
Of course Xue Congjia could accept these.
But she also knew why the young Alpha doctor in front of her asked this question.
There have always been many rules in aristocratic families.
Since marrying into the Romanov family 30 years ago, Xue Congjia has seen many Omegas delay their treatment because they were too embarrassed to seek medical help.
She has even seen pregnant women and husbands die from amniotic fluid embolism.
There is more than one example.
At that time Xue Congjia knew that for Omegas, this world was still in the primitive era before the cosmic calendar.
After becoming pregnant with this child, Xue Congjia's health had been deteriorating and she had already prepared to die.
But two days ago, someone suddenly broke into the Romanov home and took away her two mothers, which gave Xue Congjia a glimmer of hope in her already dry and cracked heart.
So, when faced with Shen Qingzhu's question, Xue Congjia did not immediately answer whether he minded or not. He just fiddled with his computer and sent a message to Mother A outside the door.
[Ding——Master, you have a new message from Xue Congjia. 】
After hearing the AI report, Principal Xue Guanlan, who was absent-minded outside the ward, immediately turned on the light brain. After seeing the news about Xue Congjia, the iron-blooded Alpha, who usually shed blood but not tears, suddenly had wet eyes. He walked several steps with a tense face, then lowered his eyes and carefully read the news about Xue Congjia several times.
"Why are you pretending?" It was rare to see her like this, and Lin Qin, who followed closely, realized something was wrong and whispered mockingly.
Xue Guanlan immediately shared his private screencast with her and said in a hoarse voice, "This is the message Jia Jia just sent."
Lin Qin was startled when he heard this, and immediately looked at the private screen, only to see the words written on it -
[Mother, if I accept treatment, will the Romanov family make things difficult for you and... Vice Principal Lin? ]
Lin Qin went to the front line of the Expeditionary Army shortly after she gave birth to Xue Congjia, so Xue Congjia had never seen her since he was a child and was raised by Xue Guanlan.
After retiring due to injury and returning to the empire, Lin Qin was prepared for Xue Congjia to ignore her. She did not recognize Xue Congjia and only met Xue Congjia once when she and Xue Guanlan broke into the Romanov house that day.
Unexpectedly, Xue Congjia still discovered her identity.
And, "Why would Congjia ask that?"
After a long silence, Lin Qin suddenly asked Xue Guanlan.
Xue Guanlan's eyes were red, and he choked for a long while before closing his eyes and saying, "Based on the information I have found recently, it is speculated that the reason why Jia Jia agreed to marry Stephen was probably because... Stephen threatened Jia Jia with my future."
"...As her mother, I didn't realize this until now!"
Thinking that Xue Congjia was still thinking about her and Lin Qin, and that she was planning to stop the treatment if the Romanovs really made things difficult for them, Xue Guanlan suddenly covered her eyes and could not say a word.
Lin Qin, who also realized this, also had tears on her cheeks.
But she still pulled over Xue Guanlan's private screen and typed out a reply neatly.
[Mother: No, Jiajia, just rest assured and get treated. Mothers are not that fragile. They are much stronger than you think.]
[Mother: After having the baby aborted, will Jiajia divorce Stephen? This family is such a jerk. Mom doesn't want Jiajia to live with those beasts anymore.]
In the ward.
After receiving the reply, Xue Congjia looked at it for a long time.
At a glance, she could tell that these replies were obviously not coming from her Alpha mother Xue Guanlan.
Then, it could only be Vice Principal Lin Qin and her Omega mother who wrote these words.
Judging from her domineering words that obviously showed her support, Lin Qin and Xue Guanlan were really not afraid of the Romanov family's revenge at all.
This is the same conclusion that Xue Congjia has come to after secretly observing and speculating over the years.
And it was obvious that both of her mothers were on her side.
So what else does she have to worry about or fear?
His deeply sunken eyes were filled with crystal tears. Xue Congjia exhaled slowly for a few breaths, then smiled and said to Shen Qingzhu and Yisan, "Just now outside the door, some people said some unpleasant things."
"If I have offended you, I hope the doctors will forgive me."
"I'm Xue Congjia."
“I want to get treatment.”
“I can also accept the examination process mentioned by Dr. Shen.”
"Please help me recover as soon as possible."
Although Shen Qingzhu didn't know what Xue Congjia had just seen in the light brain, but from his suddenly lively eyes, he knew that something good must have happened.
The most feared thing when treating patients is that they lose the will to live.
Especially for many Omegas who have heavy mental burdens.
Xue Congjia is fine the way he is now.
The desire to survive was so strong that it almost burst through his body.
After Wen Sheng gave a few more instructions about the medical robot, Shen Qingzhu and Teacher Ethan prepared the nanorobots together.
Only then did he enter the observation room and begin a more detailed examination of Xue Congjia.
