Zhou Zhengting's words made Ruan Jizhou unconsciously tighten his grip on Lu Zhiwei's hand.
His handsome face turned deathly pale.
He seemed to sense something was wrong and wanted to hold Lu Zhiwei's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that he would lose his grip on her hand in the next second.
"Mr. Zhou, you must be joking. Your daughter-in-law's belly looks like she's only six or seven months pregnant. I'm afraid Mrs. Zhou can't wait three more months," the doctor told him calmly and seriously.
“What does it matter? This is my Zhou family’s child. This child was born to save Ruan Qin. I can only say that she came at the perfect time. Now arrange a cesarean section. The baby is seven months old and can survive. After the surgery, send the baby to an incubator. Our Zhou family can afford to raise her. Use the umbilical cord blood for tissue matching to save my wife.”
Zhou Zhengting continued speaking to himself.
He knew perfectly well that Lu Zhiwei was also there and that she could hear everything perfectly well.
He still said it without any restraint.
Lu Zhiwei, who was sitting on the bench, slowly got up, and the bouquet in her hand fell to the ground.
His pale face was contorted with rage.
Ruan Jizhou tried desperately to hold Lu Zhiwei's hand tightly: "Weiwei, what my dad said is nonsense. I will explain it to him myself. Please sit down."
Lu Zhiwei stared at Ruan Jizhou for a moment.
That glance was like a piercing icy blade.
He watched helplessly as Lu Zhiwei pried his hands off, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hold on anymore.
“Zhou Yan, I always thought that Uncle Zhou was good to me and couldn’t wait to welcome me into the family. He really liked me, but now it seems that I was wrong.” Lu Zhiwei sniffed and looked up at the ceiling.
Try not to let your discomfort show.
Zhou Zhengting noticed that Lu Zhiwei was in a very emotional state.
He hurriedly came over and apologized: "I'm sorry, Weiwei, your uncle had no choice. The compensation you want will be given to you by the Zhou family in the future. You and your child will enjoy the inheritance rights of the Zhou family's shares. Our entire Zhou family will be grateful to you. I'm begging you, please don't throw a tantrum. Just do me a favor and sacrifice this once so that Yan'er and Shuang'er can still have a mother. Is that alright?"
Lu Zhiwei turned her head and burst out laughing.
"Uncle, I can't help you."
"How could you say such heartless and cruel words? This is the last chance. If she dies, how will you face Yan'er and the Zhou family?" Zhou Zhengting said sternly.
Ruan Jizhou clenched his fists.
On one side is the woman he loves, and on the other is his own biological mother.
He felt as if he had been thrown into a brazier and was being roasted and scorched.
"That's enough, Dad, stop pressuring Weiwei." Ruan Jizhou didn't want to reveal who the father of Lu Zhiwei's child was in public, so he could only pull Zhou Zhengting away first.
“You ungrateful son, who is more important to you than your mother or the child in her womb? Even if the child can't be saved, you can get pregnant again and have another one. You only have one mother. Do you know who I’ve been working so hard on medicine all these years? It’s all for the sake of getting your mother better as soon as possible so that she can be reunited with our family. The method I’m talking about is the perfect one. If Lu Zhiwei loves you, she should do this.”
After helping out at the wedding, Zhou Shuang and Jiang Zhan rushed to the hospital together.
At the doorway, they overheard the argument taking place.
Jiang Zhan clenched his fists and charged forward without saying a word.
"I will not allow you to use my sister's child to morally blackmail her. The child is hers, her life. What right do you have to pressure her like this?"
Ruan Jizhou patted Jiang Zhan on the shoulder, trying to calm him down: "Jiang Zhan, step aside first, we'll handle this."
"How are you going to solve this? How are you going to solve it? By taking my sister's child's life?"
Lu Zhiwei, who had been standing silently in place, raised her head and made a firm decision.
She turned to Song Hanzheng behind her and said, "Dr. Song, I know you are an all-around excellent doctor. I hope you can help me think of another way to save Aunt Ruan."
Entrusted with this task, Song Hanzheng did not dare to delay: "Okay, I'll go and check the situation."
Zhou Zhengting saw that Lu Zhiwei still chose to ask the doctor for help rather than risk the baby in her womb as a last resort.
Disappointment caused him to have an emotional breakdown.
"Lu Zhiwei, I'll kneel down and beg you, okay?"
With a thud, Zhou Zhengting knelt down in front of Lu Zhiwei.
Lu Zhiwei immediately helped Zhou Zhengting up: "Uncle Zhou, you don't need to do that."
He loved his wife dearly, and human life was at stake, so he wasn't wrong.
The real mistake was that she shouldn't have kept the identity of the child's father a secret, giving Zhou's father hope only to deliver a fatal blow to the Zhou family.
"Uncle Zhou, actually..." Now that things had come to this point, she didn't want to hide it anymore.
Ruan Jizhou wanted to protect Lu Zhiwei's privacy.
Before she could speak, she pulled Zhou Zhengting away: "Dad, come with me."
Ruan Jizhou led Zhou's father to an empty hospital room.
The ward door was tightly closed.
He lowered his head and told the truth: "Dad, I'm sorry, the baby in Weiwei's belly isn't mine, so she can't have a C-section right now. The baby's umbilical cord blood won't be of any use to Mom."
"What did you say?" Zhou Zhengting was so shocked by this fact that he took a few steps back and staggered onto the hospital bed.
Ruan Jizhou closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "The child is Shen Jinmo's."
Outside the door.
After hearing this, Song Anran, who was eavesdropping by peering through the door, heard these words.
He was so shocked that his mouth dropped open.
A chill ran down my back, and my body trembled involuntarily.
Sharp fingernails dug into his palm, and a terrifying ferocity flashed in his eyes.
Lu Zhiwei! You've really fooled everyone!
"You bastard, you useless piece of trash!"
Zhou Zhengting slapped Ruan Jizhou hard across the face.
