"Wanwan." Zhan Jingting kissed her hair. "It will be alright."
"Jingting, I'm scared." Qiao Wanwan's voice trembled as she raised her hand to touch her slightly protruding belly. "Tell me, was it right or wrong for us to have this child? In the future, will he also have to endure the same pain as his brother at such a young age? Tell me, if he could choose, would he be willing to be our child and come into this world with a genetic disease?"
"Wanwan, you're overthinking it," Zhan Jingting said in a deep voice. "The baby is already here, we shouldn't be thinking about these things."
"I know, but I'm really scared. First it was Eleven, now it's Nine. They're so small, so cute, they shouldn't have to suffer like this..."
“Wanwan, I’m sorry…” Zhan Jingting hugged her tightly, wishing he could melt her into his bones and blood. “From the time I was old enough to understand, I thought that I would never get married and ruin a girl’s life, and I couldn’t let her become like my mother. My belief has always been firm, until I met you, and everything crumbled.”
"The moment I saw you, I wanted to marry you and have children with you. On our wedding day, I was both excited and nervous. I was excited because I had finally married the girl I loved, but nervous because I didn't know how to tell you that if we had a child, he would have a genetic disease."
"Don't say anymore." Qiao Wanwan turned around and looked at him with heartache. "Jingting, I have never blamed you. Even when Eleven and Xiao Jiu were in the most pain, I did not think it was your fault."
"This is our family's destiny, and all we can do is fight against fate."
"Wanwan, thank you for thinking that way."
Qiao Wanwan hugged him. "I'm sorry, I'm so sad and I'm making you worry too. Xiao Jiu has never been around us since he was little, and I feel like I owe him a lot. Plus, he's having this attack and is feeling really bad, so I feel even more sorry for him."
"I also feel sorry for the child, but I feel even more sorry for you."
"I know." Qiao Wanwan gently patted his back. "If we work together, we will definitely be able to cure Xiao Jiu."
"good."
"I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep."
"good."
......
Qiao Wanwan spent several days preparing medicine to regulate Xiao Jiu's body and silver needles for use when she fell ill, just in case.
After resting at home for a few days, Xiao Jiu went back to school.
Wutong Bay may seem to have returned to calm, but everyone's heart has become more anxious.
In the afternoon, at the Imperial View Group.
Zhan Jingting was in a meeting when Jiang Dong's phone suddenly vibrated. He quickly got up, leaned close to Zhan's ear, and whispered something.
Zhan Jingting remained silent.
Jiang Dong quickly sat down and continued the meeting.
The lengthy meeting finally ended after about two hours.
Zhan Jingting walked out of the conference room and took the elevator upstairs.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Ruan Tang waiting outside his office.
"Brother Jingting!" Ruan Tang greeted Zhan Jingting excitedly as soon as she saw him. "Are you finally done with your work?"
Zhan Jingting ignored her and walked straight into the CEO's office. "I'm very busy and don't have time to see you."
Ruan Tang, disregarding her sadness, hurriedly followed, "Brother Jingting, I have something very important to tell you!"
Zhan Jingting sat down in his executive chair, glanced at his wristwatch, and said, "You only have five minutes."
Ruan Tang sat down opposite him. "Brother Jingting, I heard about Xiao Jiu's situation. I never expected that he would also have a relapse."
"If that's all you wanted to say, you can leave now."
"Of course not." Ruan Tang looked at his incomparably handsome face, her eyes shining. "Brother Jingting, I've found a way to cure you and Xiao Jiu. You'll soon be free from the fate of hereditary disease!"
Zhan Jingting flipped through the documents on the table and said calmly, "If it's the plan you discussed with Wanwan last time, Wanwan has already rejected it. Don't you remember?"
Ruan Tang pouted and muttered under her breath, "Brother Jingting, actually, the plan last time wasn't necessarily unfeasible. It's just that my sister-in-law was too jealous of me, so she took it out on personal grudges and rejected it outright..."
Zhan Jingting looked up at her and asked, "What did you say?"
Ruan Tang was startled by his cold gaze and quickly changed her words, "Brother Jingting, what I mean is that this plan is definitely feasible!"
"Go talk to Wanwan about whether it's feasible or not. She's a miracle doctor with amazing skills, so she knows best."
Ruan Tang was furious. "Brother Jingting, it's true that your sister-in-law is a miracle doctor, and her master is also a miracle doctor, but even two generations of miracle doctors in Wutong Bay couldn't cure your illness, and they even caused Xiao Jiu to have a relapse, didn't they?"
Zhan Jingting's eyes turned cold. "Say it again if you dare!"
Ruan Tang trembled in fright and hurriedly apologized, "Brother Jingting, I'm sorry, I spoke without thinking!" She quickly made amends, "What I meant was, there are always people more capable than you, you can't treat your sister-in-law and her master as your only lifeline and ignore the solutions offered by others! I just want to cure you, that's not wrong!"
“I didn’t say your plan was rubbish. I’m not a doctor, so I don’t know whether your plan is good or bad. That’s why I sent you to find Wanwan.” Zhan Jingting looked at her with cold eyes. “But listen to me carefully. When you see Wanwan, be polite and don’t make her angry, or don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Ruan Tang looked aggrieved. "Brother Jingting, let me tell you the truth. Even if I show this plan to my sister-in-law, she will still reject it because she doesn't trust me. That's why I sent the plan directly to you."
