Lin Huier cried with tears streaming down her face, looking utterly miserable.
“It’s not my fault. I’ve been taking good care of myself during this pregnancy. You told me not to go out, and I listened to you. I haven’t left the house much these days. Ayu, I love you so much that I’m even willing to get pregnant out of wedlock and have your child. Heaven and earth can bear witness to my love for you.”
Sheng Yu glanced at her and sighed, "Alright, stop crying. The more you cry, the worse it will be for the baby."
Lin Huier quickly wiped away her tears and whispered, "Ayu, the baby will be alright. Let's talk about it after he's born, okay?"
"The doctor said it's no good! You never listen to me!" Sheng Yu scolded angrily, "Stop making me angry, okay?"
Lin Huier hugged her protruding belly and choked up, "I have faith in our child, really."
Sheng Yu said in a deep voice, "Go and make an appointment with the doctor, and get the abortion as soon as possible. I will have someone take good care of you and give you a large sum of money for nutrition. I have a meeting this afternoon, so I won't be able to keep you company."
"No!" Lin Huier grabbed his arm again, her eyes flashing slightly. "Ayu, I... I just thought of a good idea. I heard that Dean Shan hasn't really retired yet, and he occasionally gives acupuncture and prescribes medicine to save people. I'll go and beg him to treat me; he'll definitely cure my child."
"You mean Elder Shan?" Sheng Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Yes.” Lin Huier said softly, “He is an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor. He can save countless lives with just a silver needle, and he can even snatch lives from the jaws of death. Our baby’s heartbeat is normal. As long as Dr. Shan treats and regulates my body properly, the baby will be fine.”
Sheng Yu fell silent.
Lin Huier, with tears streaming down her face, pleaded, "Ayu, he is your first child. How can you bear to give him up so easily?"
“…Alright then.” Sheng Yu pouted and said, “As long as there is still hope, try not to give up.”
Lin Huier burst into tears of joy and quickly said, "I—I'm somewhat acquainted with Dean Shan. I'll ask her to act as a go-between. I believe we'll have good news soon."
"Mm." Sheng Yu nodded.
Lin Huier gently helped him straighten his tie and said softly, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll go find Dean Shan. I'll wait for you to have dinner later."
Sheng Yu nodded haphazardly, "I'll contact you later. I probably have a social engagement tonight."
After speaking, he quickly left with several bodyguards.
Lin Huier's eyes darted away as she beckoned to her assistant, "Let's go find Dean Shan."
Yuan Heng emerged from the corner, glanced around, and quickly retreated back inside.
...
More than half an hour later, Shan Jueyi pushed open Yuan Heng's hospital room door.
Yuan Heng, who was lying on the hospital bed eating chocolate, was startled. His handsome face turned red with embarrassment, and he hurriedly jumped off the bed.
"...Senior, what brings you here?"
Dan Jueyi glanced at the candy in his hand, unable to hide the smile on her lips.
"Just checking on your condition. You're probably the only one in the entire hospital who can stay so comfortably!"
Yuan Heng hesitated to reply.
Shan Jueyi closed the door and stepped gracefully in. "How are you? Are the bruises on your body any better?"
Yuan Heng quickly replied with a smile, "I applied the medicine you gave me, and the pain has already subsided—it's incredibly effective!"
Dan Jueyi smiled and said, "That's medicine my father personally prepared; its effects are top-notch."
Yuan Heng suddenly remembered the conversation between Sheng Yu and Lin Hui'er earlier, and quickly took the opportunity to ask her for clarification.
Dan Jueyi shook his head calmly: "The divine doctor is not a god, just an ordinary mortal. My father is good at preparing medicine, but to ask him to save a fetus with an underdeveloped brain—how is that possible?"
"You refuse to act as a matchmaker for her?" Yuan Heng asked.
"No." Shan Jueyi shrugged. "If there's hope, no doctor would easily give up on a living person. If we can't help, we have to firmly refuse."
“Oh…” Yuan Heng nodded slowly.
