There was dead silence in the bedroom.
After Ada shouted this, the atmosphere became a little tense.
Ye Lan was still maintaining his airs as the clan leader, but his eyes drifted towards Lei Ze next to him. He found the current situation a bit humorous.
Fortunately, Lei Ze remained silent and had no intention of intervening. Even now, he still had a blank expression and did not look angry.
"Ada, if you decide to betray the organization because your injuries have been healed, I cannot understand it, but I will respect you and cover for you. From now on, we will not meet again." Caroline made the decision in a cold voice.
Ada opened her mouth, sadness in her eyes, but she also knew that the century-long cooperation between the witch clan and the alchemist could not be overturned because of her few words.
With nothing else to do, she could only look to the girl for help.
Ye Lan didn't intend to let her act as a lobbyist. He looked directly at Caroline and said, "You look like you're pregnant, and the fetus is unstable. You must have been having stomach cramps and discomfort since the beginning of your pregnancy, right?"
Hearing the sound, the two people opposite were startled.
Ada was shocked that Caroline was pregnant. You know, because the previous patriarch died in childbirth, Caroline's husband said when he married her that they would never have children in this life.
But now... her gaze slowly fell on the other person, and she noticed that she was wearing extra loose and warm clothes today, and she was not wearing her favorite high heels, but a pair of cotton slippers.
All signs indicate that she is indeed pregnant.
But Caroline was shocked that the incredibly young and beautiful girl in front of her could see through her symptoms at a glance.
After thinking for a moment, she nodded gently and said, "You're right. I'm 12 weeks pregnant, but I've had abdominal pain since the first day. It feels like there's a knife stirring in my stomach. It's very uncomfortable."
After all, she was her own flesh and blood. She felt a little uneasy in her heart when the doctors in the organization only gave her a few perfunctory diagnoses and consolations. In addition, Aida's wounds could be cured, which gave her a glimmer of hope.
Ye Lan didn't mention anything about the organization for the time being. He just asked her to lie down on the bed and sat at the head of the bed to take her pulse.
As soon as she felt her pulse, her heart sank, and her eyes flickered to her stomach, a hint of coldness in them.
"Chief Ye, is my child okay?" Caroline was so concerned about her child that she didn't notice anything abnormal with her. She even touched her belly with one hand, concerned about the baby's condition.
Ye Lan lowered his eyes slightly and was silent for a few seconds before he spoke: "Your original body cannot give birth to a child."
Hearing this, Caroline in the bed was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "Yes, witches are those who communicate with gods and demons, and they bear too many taboos, so their health is generally not good. My mother was very weak when she gave birth to me. Although I am very talented, I have been in poor health since childhood and lost my fertility after adulthood."
"Then how did you get pregnant?" Ye Lan continued to ask, with an indistinct expression on his face.
"My husband and I were originally DINKs, but after marrying him, I discovered he actually loves children and often looks at other people's children with envy. He's never told me, but I knew it," Caroline said, her eyes almost overflowing with sweetness as she spoke of her husband. She gently stroked her belly as she reminisced, "It was also a coincidence that two years ago, an organization developed a new drug that can promote organ repair, so I started taking it, and finally, I got good news recently."
"Chief, how could you take medicine without permission? No one in the tribe knows about it! What if something happens?!" Ada was terrified as she listened, and couldn't help but hold her hand and complain.
Caroline knew she was worried, but she wasn't angry. She touched her cheek and said softly, "But I really want to have a baby as beautiful as you. I can dress her in skirts and braid her hair every day. When she grows up, we can go shopping together. She'll be a little angel like you."
Hearing her say this, Ada's nose felt sore and her eyes couldn't stop reddening. She couldn't bear to blame her anymore, so she just looked up at Ye Lan eagerly, "Chief Ye, is there something wrong with Caroline's baby?"
Ye Lan withdrew his hand, glanced at the two of them, and said in a cold voice: "To be precise, she is not pregnant with a child."
"What do you mean?!" Caroline suddenly sat up from the bed and stared at Ye Lan again.
As a doctor, Ye Lan has the heart to save the world, but is also cold-blooded and ruthless in sentencing people to death.
"Inside your stomach is just a lump of meat."
"Impossible!" Caroline flatly denied it. She opened a drawer and took out the pregnancy test report. Pointing at the color Doppler ultrasound image on it, she said, "I just had a checkup a few days ago. The baby's heartbeat and figure are both very healthy. He's even stronger than an average child."
She wanted to explain to Ye Lan the intensity of her baby-like heartbeat to prove her belly.
Ye Lan didn't even raise his eyelids and said directly: "It's just a piece of meat with a heartbeat. It can be reborn in the future, but it will cost you your life."
Her cold expression and indifferent tone were like the scythe of the god of death cutting towards Caroline's neck.
Caroline clenched her fists tightly. If she wasn't afraid of hurting her stomach, she would have attacked the girl.
"Patriarch Ye, you are not welcome in my home. Please leave!"
She took a firm stance and ordered them to leave.
Ye Lan didn't move.
She turned her head and glared at Ada, "Get rid of her! I don't need someone like this talking nonsense to treat me!"
Ada was at a loss for a moment, but her intuition told her to persuade Caroline, "Calm down first and listen to the specific diagnosis results. I know you care about this child more than anyone else. Shouldn't you listen to what Patriarch Ye has to say?"
These words calmed down the emotional Caroline a little, but she still remained silent and had a bad look on her face towards Ye Lan.
Seeing this, Ada could only nod apologetically to the girl and said, "Chief Ye, please forgive me."
Ye Lan understood the patient's feelings and didn't care. Instead, he asked, "Do you remember what I told you about the underground water at Sayre Rose University?"
"Hmm." Ada didn't understand her intention, but answered honestly. "The groundwater there has excessive minerals, which can be extracted to produce elements that stimulate brain nerves. Therefore, the organization has been using students for secret experiments. However, the properties of the drugs they produce are unstable. While gaining certain special abilities, the students' bodies also develop corresponding diseases. Every time they use their abilities, the damage to their bodies worsens."
At this point, her brows suddenly furrowed as she realized something and looked at Caroline's belly in horror. "Are you saying that Caroline's child is also the result of the brain nerves being stimulated by the drugs she took?!"
Seeing that she had guessed the result, Ye Lan nodded and gave her a positive answer, "Yes."
"But, she just had a physical examination..." Ada still didn't understand, and always felt that something was missing.
At this moment, Lei Ze, who had been silent the whole time, turned back from the window, glanced at Caroline lying on the bed, and pronounced calmly, "The report is false. She won't live for more than a month."
