Chapter 130 Xiaobai Wants to Be Baby's Godfather (Fourth Update)
Her tone was urgent and serious, making Mortilan Dun feel a little nervous.
"Tell me! I can help you with anything except having your baby!" He blurted out the words without thinking, and even he himself found it a little strange after saying them.
Isn't he being too good to this woman? Even if she saved his life, he can't be this shameless, can he?
Well, he ultimately didn't transfer the ten million, afraid of scaring her.
Moreover, he didn't want to use ten million to completely buy out her life-saving grace to him; he wanted to leave some room for maneuver so that he could at least find opportunities to freeload a few more meals.
Her cooking is absolutely delicious! He was even secretly hoping that after she got those wild boars, she would be able to make even more delicious dishes.
"I'm about to have a baby, you know that, right..."
"What? You're about to give birth? You're already at your due date? Have you checked into the hospital yet? If the medical standards at the hospitals in District 48 aren't high enough, I can send someone to pick you up and take you to another hospital with better facilities to give birth..." Mortilan asked in surprise.
He knew she was pregnant, but her belly wasn't very big, and she had been gathering in the wild not long ago, so he never imagined she was about to give birth.
He remembered that the women in the central area would check into the hospital a month or half a month in advance to prepare for childbirth. Those pregnant women were afraid of getting tired even carrying a water bottle, so no one would run around like her.
"Okay, stop! That's not the point! The point is, my baby has a problem..." Zuo Shan's words were interrupted again.
"What's wrong with your baby? Does it have some kind of genetic defect? Don't worry, I'll find the best gene repair expert for you..." Modiland Shield hurriedly comforted her.
"Please! Listen to me, okay? The point is, my child might be a genetically engineered warrior, and I'm worried that some powerful and influential people might just snatch my baby away."
This has happened before. They claim to have negotiated with the child's parents and completed legal adoption procedures, but in reality, they just snatch the child away.
"A kind-hearted person might give the child's parents some money, while a ruthless person might just kill them to silence them. You understand?" Zuo Shan said quickly, afraid he would interrupt her again.
"How could... such a thing exist?" Mordilland was shocked. Their Landun family had always valued bloodline inheritance, so they would never steal other families' talented children.
They only use large sums of money to lure those with good aptitude to join the Lan Dun family.
Of course, the Lan Dun family's genes were excellent enough that they didn't need to steal other people's children, so he never thought there was such underhanded dealing.
“I understand. Don’t worry, I will come personally to be with you during childbirth and will make sure that the doctors and nurses keep the baby’s qualifications confidential,” Mortilan said.
"There's really no need for you to fly over in person. You just need to warn the obstetricians and gynecologists not to leak the baby's information," Zuo Shan said apologetically.
She and Xiaobai were just online friends who had chatted a few times. They had only met once in person. She helped him find a poppy, and he gave her a high-level gene serum, a spatial button, and a dozen mutated wild boars.
She felt she owed him far too much, but this time it concerned the safety of her baby and herself, so she had no choice but to swallow her pride and ask for help. After all, in this wasteland, she didn't know any other powerful people.
Uncle Wu's family was kind to her, but they were just ordinary people and probably didn't have the ability to threaten the obstetrician, so she thought of Xiaobai.
"Actually, I didn't fly to District 48 specifically for you. I just happened to take on a mission in District 50 and was passing by your area."
"I'm really looking forward to the baby's birth. If you agree, I'd like to be the baby's godfather, so that no one can mess with it anymore." Mortilan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and made this suggestion.
"Godfather? Xiaobai, you're willing to be my baby's godfather? That's wonderful!"
"Don't worry, I will continue to teach it to be filial to its godfather when it grows up. When you get old, let the baby take care of you and see you off in your old age!" Zuo Shan immediately beamed with joy.
Although Xiaobai wasn't exactly a super powerful patron, with him as her backer, she didn't have to worry about her baby being taken away.
However, it's best if the baby's biological father never finds out about its existence, otherwise, if they really have to face him, even Xiaobai might not be able to protect them.
After hanging up the call, Zuo Shan finally felt relieved.
So far, although she has only met Xiaobai once, she has an inexplicable trust in him and believes that he will keep his word.
Meanwhile, Mortilan summoned Matt: "Do you know which families have secretly stolen babies with exceptional potential?"
“These kinds of things are usually done very discreetly, and it’s impossible for outsiders to know unless someone in their family leaks the secret. Why did you ask this, sir?” Matt asked hesitantly.
"Actually, that's not what I'm concerned about. Right now, remove the pregnancy test results from the left side of the screen and see if the hospital has leaked her information," Modilan said impatiently.
Matt immediately understood what his master meant. Ever since they had eaten at Miss Zuo's restaurant, he and Mina had been thinking about it. However, since their master didn't mention Miss Zuo, they, as her subordinates, didn't dare to say anything.
Matt found the left-side medical record with almost no effort and immediately reported back:
"Sir, Miss Zuo has only had one prenatal checkup, when the fetus was 13 weeks old. The records show that she suffers from severe malnutrition and anemia."
Her fetus was also malnourished, but otherwise there was nothing abnormal. Oh, no, there was one more abnormality: the fetal heartbeat was very strong. Logically, a severely malnourished fetus should have a very weak heartbeat.
The hospital did not encrypt her medical records, and many people have access to this information, but so far, no one has reviewed it.
After all, she had her prenatal checkup at a public hospital in District 50. Those powerful families wouldn't be interested in a pregnant woman from District 50, unless a doctor specifically reported it for a reward.
Matt gave a very detailed report, and Mortilan immediately understood the problem: the woman had noticed the abnormality in the fetus, so she never went to the hospital for prenatal checkups again.
After all, the fetus is still relatively small during the first prenatal checkup, and some abnormalities may not be detected. However, if she goes for prenatal checkups every month thereafter, the doctor will eventually discover the abnormalities, and once it is reported, she may not be able to keep the baby.
Now that her child is due, if she doesn't go to the hospital to give birth, there is a high risk of both mother and child dying. So she has no choice but to go to the hospital, which means that the child's secret can no longer be kept.
"Mat, call Mina, let's head to District 48 immediately! Oh, and by the way, go find Augustine and get two high-grade recovery potions and two high-grade blood-replenishing potions, just in case," Mortilan said decisively.
The baby could be born at any moment, so he couldn't afford to waste any time and had to get there as soon as possible. Also, if the mother experienced complications during labor, she might lose too much blood.
The potions concocted by that old man Augustine are quite effective; even if someone is on their last breath, they should be able to be saved.
