Chapter Thirty-One: Loneliness

"I won't live here!" Jingzhi resolutely refused.

"This is someone else's house, how could I live here? Besides, we don't even know each other! I haven't even told you why I'm pregnant. I don't want to be a burden to you."

"It's someone else's house, that's true, but our boss never comes here!" You Yang tried to persuade her: "Or tell me, where are you going? Home? Won't those bad people who hurt you come back to hurt you?"

Jingzhi froze, clutching her lower abdomen. Yes, where could she go?

Now she had no home to return to…

Her mother in the hospital was still struggling on the verge of death. That woman seemed to no longer want the child in her womb. If she insisted on leaving, she might really face risks again!

Xue Ran told her on the phone that after receiving her pregnancy test report, the surrogacy company continued to deposit living expenses into her account! 3000 yuan a month—how important that was to her mother!

What would happen to the child… after it was born?

Jingzhi had thought about it countless times. She couldn't bear to sell her child, but how could she save her mother without money?

You Yang's suggestion was tempting, but... she dared not agree. She was afraid that if she agreed, things would truly change between her and You Yang—how ridiculous! She had always wanted to avoid selling her body, but given the current situation, she might as well do it.

"Jingzhi, what are you thinking about?" You Yang was puzzled by her silence. "You don't trust me?"

"It's not that I don't trust you!" Jingzhi shook her head. "But I can't abuse your sympathy. You just pity me."

"I..." You Yang was struck by her words. Yes, he had feelings for her, and he even wanted to support her for life, but marriage was truly a pipe dream, wasn't it?

"Thank you for your suggestion!" Jingzhi smiled, "But I can't accept it!"

"But you have nowhere to go!"

"I have somewhere to go!" Jingzhi lied with a smile, "I won't go home, I can stay at a classmate's place!"

"No! I can't let you leave here!" You Yang finally conceded again, "Okay, then we won't stay in this house. I'll rent you a small house in this community. Trust me, it'll be safer for you to stay here to give birth."

"But..."

"No buts, and don't say anything more!" You Yang ended their conversation with a firm tone, "I'll arrange it right away!"

You Yang spent a day renting a room in a row of small villas, paid eight months' rent, and then busily bought Jingzhi a lot of nutritional supplements that pregnant women need. He even bought a crib, clothes, and toys for the baby.

Jingzhi was shocked by his shopping spree. Not knowing the baby's gender, he bought two of everything, plus a mountain of maternity clothes…

Jingzhi wanted to stop him, but he always smiled and shook his head: “No, I have to buy it. There are still six months left! If I don't buy everything, it'll be too much for you to buy anything by yourself.”

Jingzhi felt a lump in her throat. Faced with Youyang's frenzied buying, she dared not cry, because she wasn't sure if her tears were more from gratitude or love.

After all, the time she and Youyang had spent together was too short… too short to even get to know each other before they had to part.

Youyang left, taking not only Jingzhi's longing but also the sense of security she had slowly built up.

Now, she was alone again, facing the world alone…

Jingzhi lived alone in a small house by the sea, her constant companion being a profound loneliness…

Yes, she was lonely. But loneliness itself wasn't loneliness; the loneliness Jingzhi felt was a loneliness of the soul. Youyang had given her physical pleasure, but Jingzhi couldn't feel any connection between their hearts.

You Yang was always talking to himself, constantly telling Jingzhi what he wanted her to do… because he felt he could make decisions for her. From the very beginning, their relationship was unequal.

Jingzhi sometimes wondered if she was being too extreme, but the loneliness in her soul gnawed at her nerves like a shadow, and she often felt like crying out loud.

The doctor said it was pregnancy anxiety, an inability to accept motherhood right away, and advised her to think more about the lovely little life that was about to arrive!

But Jingzhi knew this wasn't the real problem.

Time flew by, calendar pages were torn away, and before she knew it, it was late autumn, and Jingzhi was over eight months pregnant.

You Yang called from America every day, but he rarely asked about the baby in her belly; when he did mention it, it was just a brief mention.

Jingzhi wisely kept quiet; she was curious about the baby's gender, but didn't want to know beforehand.

The fetus in her belly seemed very active and strong. It would kick her while Jingzhi cooked, which hurt a lot. When she sat down to eat, it felt like the fetus was pressing against her stomach, making her very uncomfortable.

Sleep also became difficult. Because the growing fetus was pressing on her bladder, she woke up many times a night. Her breasts also became swollen and painful. Pregnancy was truly hard, but the sight of a little life slowly growing inside her made her feel very happy!

Every day, Jingzhi would take an hour to stroll along the beach, always passing by the luxurious villa where Youyang and she had lived. It was truly a beautiful house.

One weekend afternoon, Jingzhi was walking alone again when she passed the villa and noticed a mud-splattered truck parked in front of the gate. The truck's back was open, and many pieces of furniture and paintings had been unloaded and scattered on the ground, as if they were being moved into the villa.

Jingzhi walked along curiously, looking around, but she didn't see any workers unloading goods. She peered into the yard along the villa's fence…

Suddenly, Jingzhi seemed to trip over something, letting out a cry of pain as she lost her footing and fell forward.

She was about to take a nasty tumble, but… a pair of strong hands grabbed her collar from behind! Jingzhi

closed her eyes in fear, only realizing she hadn't fallen; a man had caught her just in time!

“Goodness, I said…” a slow, lazy, yet magnetic voice sounded behind her: “You're such a careless child, how could you not watch your step?”

“I’m sorry!” Jingzhi steadied herself and quickly turned around. It was a man in his thirties, dressed casually in rough work clothes, his forehead and clothes stained with sand and oil, but none of this could conceal the mature and steady charm he exuded.

The moment Jingzhi saw him, she froze!

How could this middle-aged man be so handsome beyond his years?

In other words, even though this worker was wearing rough clothes and his face was covered in grease, he still looked like a charming male celebrity, exuding mature personal charm.

To use a trendy phrase, he was incredibly charismatic!

Jingzhi stood there, stunned, blushing, unsure how to explain.

"I'm so sorry!" Jingzhi stammered, her words incoherent, "I was just curious, this place hasn't been home for a long time, I thought..."

"Oh," the man smiled casually, a charming dimple appearing on his resolute, lean face, revealing a set of white teeth. "The owners of this house are planning to stay for a while, so they're moving some practical furniture over first."

"Oh, you're the only one helping them move furniture!" Jingzhi looked at the huge pile of furniture.

"Yes!" the man sighed. "These days, bosses are really ruthless. They make me move furniture, drive, and even temporarily act as a mechanic when the car breaks down."

"Yes, I'm sorry, I just caused you trouble!" Jingzhi felt embarrassed.

"You live nearby? Do you have a car?" The man looked at Jingzhi's bulky figure with a hint of curiosity...

"Why are you asking that?" Jingzhi took a step back warily. Most of the villas on this beach were empty; could this man be a bad guy?

The man seemed to see through Jingzhi's thoughts. He laughed heartily. "I didn't mean anything by it, but you seem to be about to give birth? It's impossible to get around here without a car." He took out a pen and paper from his pocket, wrote down a phone number, and handed it to her.

"Here you go, this is my phone number. I'll be staying here for a while. If you don't have a car, it might be too late to call an ambulance if you need to go to the hospital. Have your husband call me then!"

"Thank you!" Jingzhi held the small piece of paper. This person was quite nice, very kind.

Chapter 32 Coincidence

You Yang called the hospital where Jingzhi regularly had her prenatal checkups in the US to reserve a bed and an ambulance, but he never asked how far away Jingzhi's due date was.

You Yang seemed very busy, always having endless meetings, and every time he called, he would hang up after only a few words.

Jingzhi knew he was indifferent to the child in her belly, but what could she say? Jingzhi didn't know what her relationship with You Yang was. Was it lovers? Was it a romantic relationship?

It seemed like neither.

Sometimes, Jingzhi couldn't help but look around with a mocking smile. All of this was bought for her by You Yang in the name of love, but what she found most ridiculous was actually this!

Love?

Did You Yang love her?

How could a lonely, pregnant girl like her expect "love"?

She had more than once cynically hypothesized: if she didn't look so pitiful, if she were a spoiled, arrogant young lady, if she and You Yang were equals—even if she were just a lowly employee…

would You Yang have felt such a strong protective instinct?

It was clear You Yang came from a well-off family; you could tell from his shopping habits—he always bought things in pairs, and if he liked a brand, he'd buy the whole set.

You Yang had probably never experienced hunger; the way he spent money was as if it grew on trees.

Perhaps this was the difference…

Although Jingzhi's family was poor, her parents tried their best to let her experience and enjoy the best life they could provide.

They always bought her pretty clothes, and on her birthday (the day her parents found her, of course), they took her to the children's park. But on her younger brother's birthday, her parents didn't pamper him; they just cooked him a bowl of noodles and a poached egg.

Later, Jingzhi's father passed away, and the family's life plummeted. Even then, her mother still spoiled her, while being much stricter with her brother.

Her brother was very independent and sensible from a young age, never fighting with Jingzhi for things, and always giving in to his sister. Sometimes, he seemed more like Jingzhi's older brother.

Jingzhi once asked her mother, puzzled, why they treated the two children differently.

Her mother smiled and said, "Silly child, girls should be raised with care, while boys should be raised with frugality. If you don't raise a girl with care, when you grow up, if a man treats you even slightly well and shows you a little kindness, you'll be moved to tears. You might rashly decide your life based on material temptations, and that's something I don't want to see.

Boys, on the other hand, should be cultivated from a young age to be hardworking, frugal, and resilient. For men, only by facing harsh living conditions and fierce social competition can they truly create their own space in the world."

Her mother's words planted a small seed in Jingzhi's heart—self-respect and independence. When she went to university, she never wavered because of any boy's fervent pursuit.

Even now, after all that You Yang has done for her, and even after they've crossed that final line, Jingzhi still knows that a deep gap exists between them—a difference in their attitudes towards life, and that's not the only difference…

You Yang doesn't say it, but he's deeply bothered by the fact that Jingzhi is carrying another man's child. Jingzhi can sense that he's still hesitant and uncertain when he's intimate with her.

You Yang says that deep down, Jingzhi is a pure girl, but the more he says she's pure, the more uncomfortable she feels.

Because they're both just deceiving themselves, and when You Yang says that, Jingzhi feels insulted and mocked.

She's a pregnant woman with a huge belly, how can she be pure? What a load of rubbish!

Yes, You Yang cherishes her very much, but Jingzhi can also sense the torment he suffers. During the month they've been together, he never looks at her belly. As her belly grows bigger every day, when he talks to her, he only stares at her face.

This is the feeling of inequality… You Yang seems to have a bit of an infatuation with her. Yes, even if there's some love, it's the kind of love given to a kitten or puppy.

Jingzhi sees all of this, and she knows it's human nature. But what can she do besides accept You Yang's charity?

The surrogacy agency's answer to Jingzhi was ambiguous. They told her the child must be born, and the other party would pay. Just that one sentence, and Jingzhi wouldn't say anything more.

And the call to Xue Ran confirmed this; 100,000 yuan suddenly appeared in the account Jingzhi left. Was that money transferred by Wu Yanya or that man?

Could it be, Jingzhi suspects, that the woman's hysterical attempt to kill her was because she and her husband had a falling out? Was she getting a divorce? Or was it something else? Jingzhi

dared not think any further; she was afraid that the more she thought, the less willing she would be to sell the child.

As her baby grew larger, Jingzhi felt increasingly attached to the child. The initial panic of becoming a mother was gradually replaced by the growing bond between mother and child.

Her movements became slower, but one thing remained constant: she would drag her weary body for a walk along the beach every day.

Every day, she would pass by that villa. Since that day when she spoke to that strange, handsome older man—or rather, that older brother—Jingzhi had never seen his truck again.

One evening, Jingzhi returned from her walk and passed by the villa again. The villa was brightly lit, as if a banquet was being held.

The yard was filled with all sorts of luxury cars; Mercedes seemed to be the most common, and there were many oddly shaped cars that Jingzhi had never seen before.

It seemed the owner of this villa had finally arrived? Jingzhi couldn't help but silently rejoice that she hadn't stayed there; otherwise, how awkward it would have been if the owner had moved in!

She hurried past the villa, but by sheer coincidence, just as she passed a Lamborghini parked in front of the villa, the car door suddenly opened…

“Xue Jingzhi! What are you doing here?” a voice called out in surprise. Jingzhi jumped in fright. The person who got out of the car was none other than her college classmate—the mistress of a wealthy businessman.

Oh my god! No!

Jingzhi froze. She didn't want her classmate to see her like this. If her classmate recognized her as heavily pregnant, she didn't want to live anymore!

“You’ve mistaken me for someone else!” Jingzhi hurriedly turned around, trying to run away.

"How could I mistake her!" The girl was a notorious gossip, always talking big: "Well, Xue Jingzhi, you're not being fair! When did you get pregnant so quietly? Whose is it?"

Jingzhi ignored her, just kept her head down and hurried away. The girl, in her high heels, couldn't keep up: "Hey! If you're not Xue Jingzhi, why are you running?"

"Because we're just here for a walk!" A voice suddenly appeared beside Jingzhi, startling her. She looked up and saw the porter from that day had appeared out of nowhere, blocking her and her classmate's path.

He smiled slightly at Jingzhi: "Isn't that right, baby?"

"Uh?" The female classmate was taken aback. Because it was late, Jingzhi and the man were shrouded in darkness, and their faces could no longer be seen: "You two?"

"This is my wife!" The man put his arm around Jingzhi's shoulder, his large hand warm and strong: "You've mistaken me for someone else. My wife's surname isn't Xue. She's a bit shy around strangers. You called her a different person, so of course she'll be angry!"

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Jingzhi's classmate took a step back apologetically: "Sorry to bother you, but your wife really does look like one of our classmates."

"It's okay! There are always times when you mistake someone for someone else, aren't there?" The man pretended to be intimate and hugged the trembling Jingzhi tightly.

"Thank you!" Jingzhi watched gratefully as her classmate turned and left. She looked up, and in the darkness, the man's facial features became blurred. "You helped me again this time. I haven't even asked your name yet."

"It's nothing! It was just a small favor," he chuckled. "Why are you walking alone? Where's your husband?"

"I... I don't have a husband."

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

Just then, his phone rang. He apologized to Jingzhi and went to answer it.

The voice on the other end of the line was noisy: "Shiqun, we finally found out. The girl's name is Xue Jingzhi. You must be very curious about where she's hiding, right?"

"No!" You Shiqun's voice suddenly became very gentle: "I'm not curious at all. It's a coincidence that I happen to know a girl named Xue Jingzhi. She's pregnant, to be precise, she's about to give birth!"

Chapter 33 Unexpected

Jingzhi looked strangely at the man making a phone call not far away. She nervously looked back at the brightly lit villa, hesitating whether to wait for him to finish his call before saying goodbye.

"Alright!" The man hung up the phone and walked back. "It's too late, I'll take you home!"

"No, no need!" Jingzhi took a step back. "I can go home by myself." "

Come on! I was just thinking of taking a walk!" You Shiqun naturally walked to her right. "Otherwise, it's so late, it's a sin to let a girl go home alone."

Jingzhi couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she had to walk with him towards her cottage. "I'm sorry to bother you so much."

"It's no trouble at all," You Shiqun was indeed a good walking partner. He knew Jingzhi didn't want to talk too much about herself, so he told her about the fun places nearby.

For example, there was a resort island not far away, where the beaches had fine white sand, and it was so comfortable to walk barefoot on.

His mellow and warm voice pierced through the darkness that slowly enveloped them, giving Jingzhi a sense of security.

Yes, it was this warm and reassuring feeling. Jingzhi recalled her childhood, when she, her younger brother, and her parents would take walks after dinner, and her father would always hold her small hand in his large one…

Just as Jingzhi was immersed in these memories, her legs gave way, and she accidentally stepped into a small hole that the children had dug in the sand during the day.

As if sensing her movement, You Shiqun suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand!

He caught her

just in time… In that brief touch, Jingzhi keenly noticed that she reacted to his touch, as if an electric current had struck them!

Although the quiet darkness had deprived her of sight, it had heightened her hearing and sense of touch. She could feel the warmth and strength emanating from his fingertips, and the firmness of his long fingers holding her small hand.

“It seems you’re always falling!” You Shiqun’s voice carried a hint of mockery, defusing the ambiguous atmosphere in the air: “Clumsy expectant mother!”

“Yes, I know I’ve been really clumsy lately.” Jingzhi couldn’t help but tremble.

He must have sensed it, because he tightened his grip on her hand.

"Don't be afraid!" His fingers brushed against her wrist and the back of her hand, the gentle touch sending a jolt through her.

Jingzhi's eyes widened, staring down at their clasped hands, but in the darkness she couldn't see anything. What was this man? What did he want?

"You're nervous! Girl!" You Shiqun's voice was full of coaxing: "How can a girl like you be living here alone with a child? Have you encountered any trouble?"

"I'm sorry, I don't want to talk about it..." Jingzhi said softly, "But thank you for your concern."

"Oh, I'm sorry!" He released her hand and walked with her towards home. "But I still want to ask, who is the father of the child? Do you intend to raise the child alone?"

"I don't know! Maybe?" Jingzhi felt embarrassed. In this enchanting night, the strange man walking beside her gave her a warm and peaceful feeling, even though he kept probing her privacy.

"Have you ever thought about giving the child away?"

"This..." Jingzhi blushed. Give the child away? She had already decided to sell the child.

“I know a friend,” You Shiqun said slowly, testing her reaction, “who adopted his own child—an illegitimate child. Why don’t you return the child to the father?”

“I don’t know who the father is,” Jingzhi suddenly felt she had talked too much with this man, and he became somewhat flustered. “Excuse me, we’re home!”

She pointed to a holiday cottage not far ahead. “It’s too late, would you please come in and sit for a while?”

“I’d love to help you.” You Shiqun stopped at the door, his voice captivating. “Consider my suggestion. It will be very difficult for a young woman like you to raise a baby alone.” Jingzhi

was puzzled as to why this man was suddenly so concerned about the baby in her womb, but she couldn’t care less. She said goodbye to him at the door, went inside, and closed the door!

Goodness, this man is not simple. If he wanted to deliberately use his charm, he could easily charm a woman in her 30s.

Believe me, we’ll meet soon!

Before Jingzhi closed the door, he cheerfully said goodbye, “Soon!”

Yeah, right!

Jingzhi secretly vowed to herself that next time she went out for a walk, she would definitely avoid that villa and never run into that charming and charismatic man again. She wasn't a little girl anymore; how could she be captivated by a middle-aged man?

An uncle… judging by his appearance, probably in his late thirties or late forties?

Jingzhi leaned against the door, letting her heartbeat gradually calm down. The baby in her belly seemed to sense the fluctuations in her heart, suddenly turning over and stretching its legs.

Jingzhi placed her palm flat on her belly, feeling the child inside moving violently as if trying to break free from its mother's embrace!

Goodness!

This child is so naughty! Why is it kicking and punching in its mother's arms?

Jingzhi slowly moved to the sofa and sat down. Now, even putting on shoes was a struggle for her every day; this child had grown so big…

“Sweet baby, don't play with Mommy. You still have more than two months before you give birth,” Jingzhi said softly to the baby in her belly as she stood up, fumbled for the light switch, and turned on the light.

"Cooking dinner! A nutritious meal! So the baby's full and won't cry!"

The kitchen was well-stocked with food and vegetables. Jingzhi opened the refrigerator door…

Suddenly, she felt a warm liquid flowing from between her legs. The feeling… was it like urinary incontinence? But it wasn't…

She stumbled to the bathroom. Sitting on the toilet and wiping with tissue paper, she saw that the liquid wasn't much, almost transparent, slightly yellowish, and with some blood streaks.

Had her water broken? Jingzhi hurriedly folded a sanitary napkin and placed it under her, but the warm liquid continued to flow intermittently.

She suddenly remembered the doctor's words during her prenatal checkup: "If your water breaks, lie flat immediately and call an ambulance."

She slowly sat up from the toilet, slowly moved back to the room, lay flat, and picked up the bedside cord to call. But the phone wouldn't go through?

After countless attempts, she still couldn't get through to 120. Oh my god, what was happening?

Jingzhi suddenly remembered the phone number the mover had given her, which was on her bedside table. She struggled to find the number on the note and dialed…

The call connected: “Hello,” came the warm, deep male voice again: “Who are you…”

“No, I’m sorry…” Jingzhi almost cried: “I, I’m that…”

“It’s you!” He recognized her voice immediately, his tone becoming soothing and gentle: “What happened?”

“I, I think, I’m going into labor… my water broke!” Jingzhi murmured: “I don’t want to trouble you… but…”

“I’ll come right away! Don’t move! Keep lying flat!”

“Okay, I know…”

“You must hold on! Keep breathing deeply! I won’t hang up, talk to me! Do you feel anything else uncomfortable?”

“No…” Jingzhi gripped the receiver tightly, as if the voice on the other end was a lifeline. She held on tightly: “Will I lose this child?”

Her voice was filled with sobs: “I’m a bad mother, God, please don’t let anything happen to my child!”

“Nothing will happen, don’t be nervous!” The sound of a car starting and reversing could be heard on the other end of the line: “It’s okay, relax!”

"I...I was wrong! I was wrong from the very beginning~~~~~~~~" Jingzhi no longer knew what she was muttering: "I shouldn't have sold this baby, I'm the worst mother in the world! Waaaaaah~~~~~~" "

How could that be? You're the best mother in the world! Don't cry, take a deep breath, hold on a little longer!"

"Come quickly, come save my baby!" Jingzhi gripped the microphone tightly: "You must save the baby, I don't want to lose him/her!"

In a daze, Jingzhi only felt the door being kicked open, and she was carried into the back seat of a spacious car. A comforting voice kept whispering in her ear: "It'll be alright! It will be alright!"

Soon, they arrived at the maternity hospital, and Jingzhi was carried into the emergency room. She heard the doctor say, "Your water broke, you're going into premature labor, should we try to save the pregnancy or induce labor?"

Jingzhi heard the male voice that had been with her say: "The mother is more important. If we can't save the pregnancy, we'll induce labor!"

Chapter 3-4 Saving the Pregnancy (Part 1)

"No!" Jingzhi opened her eyes, weakly protesting, "A baby almost eight months old doesn't need an induced labor! I will insist, I want to give birth to him/her!"

A female doctor in her fifties and another male doctor beside her whispered to each other:

"Okay! Let's try to preserve the pregnancy first. Although the fetus has a tendency to be premature, there is still more than half of the amniotic fluid. Let's try to preserve the pregnancy. If it is premature now, I'm afraid the fetus's cardiopulmonary function will be affected!"

"However," the male doctor also hesitated, "after all, the amniotic sac has ruptured, and there is a risk of infection if we try to preserve the pregnancy. In severe cases, it can infect the uterus. Your family needs to think this through." "

Let's try to preserve the pregnancy first!" The man's voice came from the ward door, "If it really doesn't work, we'll induce labor!"

"No!" Jingzhi whispered, "Don't induce labor, even if it's premature..."

"Let's try to preserve the pregnancy first!" the doctor concluded, "Family members, please leave!"

Jingzhi wondered, who was her family member? Could it be... the one who brought her here?

Next, the nurses began to busily prepare medication for Jingzhi to preserve the pregnancy. When she woke up, she was lying on her back on the hospital bed, her buttocks elevated with a large pillow.

The nurse told her that Jingzhi's amniotic sac had ruptured slightly, but as long as she lay still like this, the amniotic fluid would stop leaking out, potentially ensuring enough fluid for the baby to survive.

The nurses would also give Jingzhi medication to help maintain the pregnancy and induce uterine contractions; perhaps after a few days of rest, the ruptured wound would heal.

"Absolutely, absolutely do not move!"

the doctor repeatedly warned Jingzhi. In reality, this kind of pregnancy maintenance was a matter of taking it one day at a time; the chance of healing was slim, only 1%, and it was also very dangerous. If an infection occurred, it could cause significant harm to the mother.

Ultimately, the only options were induced labor or premature delivery.

"Young lady, are you really determined?" the doctor asked, looking at Jingzhi's pale face with concern. "Would you like to discuss it with your family?"

Family? Where would she find family?

"No need, I've decided!"

"Alright, your family can come in!"

The ward door opened and closed again. Jingzhi struggled to turn her neck and saw her "family" standing in the doorway—the porter?

But then again, it didn't seem like it. She saw clearly the man who strode confidently to her bedside; more precisely, she saw the dark, handmade suit he was wearing.

It must have been expensive; the suit fit him perfectly, and the exquisite workmanship clearly indicated it wasn't cheap.

Jingzhi's heart sank. This suit wasn't something an ordinary stevedore could afford.

Her gaze rose to his face. This time, his face was free of grease, and his hair was neatly styled, slightly longer than the currently fashionable styles.

His features were defined, his brow bone and nose even more resolute and prominent. His gaze was melancholic, and fine lines had appeared at the corners of his eyes.

Under such intense scrutiny, Jingzhi felt a sudden tremor in her heart.

He possessed a perfect blend of strength and gentleness, a quality that gave her an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

Was it You Yang? The image of You Yang's smiling face suddenly flashed before Jingzhi's eyes; this man seemed like a middle-aged version of You Yang!

In short, this man was definitely not some hauler!

"Who are you?" Jingzhi asked, each word distinct, her expression a mixture of knowing fear and determination.

"You Shiqun!" You Shiqun replied, his gaze meeting Jingzhi's. "You know my son."

It was a statement, and Jingzhi froze.

"The villa security guards told me that the day I arrived," You Shiqun sighed softly, "You've been together all along." Jingzhi felt dizzy

. "You're his father?"

"Yes," You Shiqun's tone was brief and forceful. "I know he wants to support you. Don't worry, I'll continue to take responsibility, including for the child. Medical expenses are no problem."

Medical expenses?

Jingzhi smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, I abused your son's compassion. He has no obligation to me! This child isn't his; he just took pity on me."

You Shiqun frowned, his tone cautious, "Allow me to ask, how did you two meet?"

"He saved me twice by chance..."

You Shiqun frowned, listening to Jingzhi recount how she met You Yang. His brows furrowed even more, "And the child in your belly?"

"This has nothing to do with You Yang!" Jingzhi immediately denied, "This child belongs to someone else!"

"I understand!" You Shiqun nodded slowly, "The child has nothing to do with You Yang, but I will help You Yang take care of you!"

He slowly stood up, pacing around the room, then looked back at her, "Rest well! We'll talk again later!"

"Okay," Jingzhi watched him push open the door and leave, a secret fear creeping into her heart. She was afraid of this man, but she didn't know why!

In the corridor, You Shiqun stopped a nurse on rounds: "Can we test the DNA of the baby of that pregnant woman in the room?"

"Of course! Just take a little amniotic fluid, and we can test it!"

"Okay," You Shiqun nodded, walked to the end of the corridor, and took out his phone: "You Yang? Go to the hospital for a blood test, have the American hospital analyze the DNA fragments, and send the results back to China! I need to test the DNA of the baby carried by the surrogate mother Wu Yanya found."

"Dad? What did you say?" You Yang was stunned: "When did she get pregnant? Didn't I give her birth control pills?"

Chapter 3-4 Pregnancy Preservation (Part 2)

"You don't need to worry about it! Just get the blood drawn!" You Shiqun glanced back at the tightly closed ward door: "Send the results back to China as soon as possible!"

"Okay! Dad..." You Yang hesitated on the other end of the phone: "I called home, and Aunt Wu said you went to the villa by the sea?"

"Yes!" You Shiqun's tone was cautious: "Is something wrong?"

"Ah! No..." You Yang was stunned for a moment, "Actually..."

"Are you asking about that pregnant girl?" You Shiqun interrupted him: "Why haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

"Dad! What did you do to her? I've called Jingzhi so many times, but no one answers!" You Yang was also anxious: "It's not what you think, Jingzhi is a good girl!"

"Whether she's a good girl or not has nothing to do with you falling in love again without thinking, You Yang. I thought you had matured after what happened with Wu Yanya!"

"Dad! What did you do to her?" You Yang's tone became harsh: "If you drive her away! I won't forgive you!"

"It's too late!"

"What did you say?"

"She's already left, not because I drove her away!" You Shiqun said in a low voice: "Forget about her, son! You have a lot of headaches now, like the child in that surrogate girl's belly..."

"What do you mean? She left?" You Yang refused to let him change the subject: "She wouldn't just leave without a word, she promised me..."

"You Yang, I'm talking to you about your child!" You Shiqun's tone was stern: "If that unborn child is identified as your child, what will you do?"

"I..." You Yang was speechless: "I don't know! But how did Jingzhi leave?"

“I don’t have time to talk to you much,” You Shiqun said firmly. “I’ll just ask you one question: if the child is yours, do you want it?”

“Of course I do!”

“Then, what about the child’s mother? What if she wants to see you? What if she falls in love with you?”

“I won’t fall in love with anyone else, because Jingzhi is the one I love!” You Yang’s stubbornness resurfaced: “How can that girl in the darkness compare to Jingzhi?”

“I knew it!” You Shiqun smiled: “You Yang, your childish temper is back. If Jingzhi doesn’t leave, how will you face the child in her womb? She confessed to me that it’s not your child!”

“So what if it isn’t?” You Yang retorted angrily. “I only care about her. What’s wrong with a child?”

“You’re not going to say you’re going to marry an unmarried single mother, are you?” You Shiqun smiled instead of getting angry: “I won’t allow it!”

“Dad!” You Yang felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head: “Why?”

“I just want to prevent you from falling into another hopeless infatuation. You should grow up!”

You Shiqun’s tone remained calm. “If you love a woman, you need a good reason. You only feel sorry for that girl!”

“I…” You Yang was stunned. You Shiqun’s words seemed to make sense, but…

“There’s no point in saying more now!” You Shiqun decisively ended the conversation. “Remember to get a blood test!”

Jingzhi was unaware of the conversation between You Shiqun and You Yang. Her mind was filled with how to save the baby—not because she wanted to use the baby for money, but because of her maternal instincts—this child was already a part of her life…

This method of propping up the body to maintain the pregnancy wasn’t difficult, but it was hard to sustain.

These past few days, if it weren’t for the caregiver You Shiqun hired taking care of her day and night, she wouldn’t have been able to maintain the pregnancy.

She had to lie quietly every day, needing to be fed and given water through a straw. Because she couldn’t move, Jingzhi had to relieve herself in bed.

Everything seemed to have reverted to an infantile state. The caregiver used adult diapers on her, and if it weren't for the auntie, who looked like a mother to her, taking care of her hygiene, a terrible bacterial infection might have already afflicted her and the baby.

Even so, Jingzhi dared not sleep soundly at night, afraid that her bottom, supported by a high pillow, would shift accidentally, and now she was terrified of the amniotic fluid leaking out!

The only comfort for Jingzhi was that the baby in her womb, after a few quiet days, had begun to move slowly—a very lively baby!

That strong little life inside her was becoming more and more active; whenever Jingzhi placed her hand on her belly, she could feel the baby's tiny fists pressing against her skin.

Various anti-inflammatory drugs and medications to prevent miscarriage were administered; IV drips hung by Jingzhi's bedside from morning till night. Finally…

"This is truly a miracle!" A week later, after an ultrasound examination, the doctor exclaimed in surprise, "The baby's vital signs are all intact! The amniotic fluid is showing signs of returning to normal!"

Sitting beside Jingzhi's bed, You Shiqun raised an eyebrow

. He had visited Jingzhi daily these past few days, and his gaze towards her had gradually softened from doubt and worry to tenderness and astonishment. "It's been so difficult! We must thank this brave expectant mother!" The doctor smiled and said to Jingzhi, "The signs of premature labor have eased considerably; you must hold on!"

Jingzhi smiled, "I will be good; I will stay lying here without moving. Does that mean my baby will survive?"

The doctor turned to You Shiqun, "Would you like to listen to the baby's heartbeat?"

These past few days, all the doctors and nurses in the hospital had treated You Shiqun as Jingzhi's husband.

You Shiqun never explained; he simply nodded. The doctor brought out the fetal heart monitor, giving one headset to Jingzhi and the other to You Shiqun.

"Listen carefully, the baby's heartbeat is very fast, almost 150 beats per minute."

Jingzhi put on the headset and heard the strong and powerful fetal heartbeat. It was really fast, clanging and clanging like a little train coming by.

She raised her teary eyes and met You Shiqun's gaze: "Thank you, thank you for saving me and the baby!"

You Shiqun seemed to be captivated by the voice. A gentle smile appeared on his usually cold face.

Chapter 35 Premature Birth (Part 1)

You Shiqun held Jingzhi's child's DNA test report. Sure enough, this girl was the surrogate mother that Wu Yanya had found!

What a coincidence! You Yang had just happened to save her and the child in her belly—You Yang's own biological child!

Jingzhi was a strong and beautiful girl. She loved the child in her belly. If...

You Shiqun frowned. If he were to take Jingzhi's child away, Jingzhi would be heartbroken, wouldn't she?

The ward door opened, and You Shiqun walked into the ward, just in time to see Jingzhi placing her hand on her round belly.

Jingzhi didn't notice You Shiqun entering. She was talking to her baby in her belly: "Baby, baby, we must hold on! My baby must be the strongest and most beautiful little baby, we can't give up. Stay with Mommy!"

These past few days, Jingzhi had been driven to the brink of nervous exhaustion by this little baby. If she couldn't feel the baby's movements, she couldn't eat or sleep.

But if the baby actually moved, Jingzhi was afraid the movements would damage the fragile amniotic sac—it would be truly torturous!

You Shiqun quietly entered the ward and stood still, watching Jingzhi's slender, thin hands gently stroking her disproportionately large belly, listening to her softly singing to the baby inside. They

had persevered for almost a month, and Jingzhi was immersed in the joy of a successful pregnancy. Indeed, at the beginning, the recovery was excellent.

However, when the DNA test results came back, the attending physician told You Shiqun that after a follow-up ultrasound, the fetus in Jingzhi's belly was moving too frequently, the rupture of the amniotic sac had widened, and the amniotic fluid had decreased.

"Your family must think this through!" The doctor showed You Shiqun a set of figures: "Look, continuing to try to save the pregnancy is very dangerous. If the rupture of the amniotic sac widens and the amniotic fluid continues to decrease, the mother's uterus will develop mild inflammation. If we don't take action, the consequences will be very serious!"

"What kind of consequences?" You Shiqun felt his throat go dry.

"If this continues, the result may be that both the mother and the fetus are at risk of sepsis. In more serious cases, a hysterectomy may be necessary. Continuing to try to save the pregnancy in this environment may also cause birth defects."

"Then what should we do?" You Shiqun was also anxious: "Wasn't everything fine just a few days ago?"

"The situation can change at any time, and the risk of bacterial infection is very high. We must terminate the pregnancy!"

"Induction of labor?"

"Not induction of labor. Although it's premature, we can try to let the mother try to deliver. Many premature babies survive. Your family needs to persuade the pregnant woman!"

"Jingzhi," You Shiqun sat down by the bed: "I have something to tell you!"

"Go ahead!" Jingzhi smiled. The baby was moving so actively!

"The doctor told us to terminate the pregnancy!"

"You don't need to try to save the pregnancy anymore?

" "No, you don't need to, you have to terminate it! Continuing would be very dangerous, dangerous for both you and the baby!"

"What did you say?" Jingzhi suddenly understood, her face turning pale. "No! The baby isn't full-term yet, terminating it now means another induction of labor?"

"Jingzhi, listen to me..."

"No! My baby is fine! He's still perfectly fine in my belly!"

In her desperation, Jingzhi grabbed You Shiqun's hand and placed it on her belly. "Look! My baby is really fine!"

You Shiqun slowly withdrew his hand, then turned and grasped Jingzhi's hand. "Baby, listen to me, I've already signed the papers, I'm giving up on trying to save the pregnancy!"

"No!" Jingzhi was stunned, unsure whether it was from his words or the baby's movements in her belly that were causing her distress.

She felt a warm flow between her legs: "Oh my God," she groaned softly, "my baby, amniotic fluid..."

What followed was like a scene from a movie emergency rescue; Jingzhi was rushed into the delivery room by doctors and nurses. The operating room was cold, the delivery bed equally cold, and everything was deathly white...

The doctor put Jingzhi on an IV drip of oxytocin. "Relax, it will hurt a little!"

Would it hurt?

Jingzhi's lower abdomen began to ache under the influence of the medication, accompanied by waves of excruciating contractions. The baby inside her began to move restlessly...

You Shiqun paced anxiously back and forth in the corridor. Inside the delivery room, Jingzhi's suppressed screams gradually turned into desperate screams. Oh my God, this situation, this sound!

You Shiqun abruptly stopped and grabbed an assistant doctor who had just come out of the operating room: "Get me a sterile gown, I need to go in!"

"That won't do. We're a small hospital, we don't have that service that big hospitals offer. But we understand the family's feelings. The delivery process is recorded on video, you can go home..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" You Shiqun grabbed him: "Take me to your director! Even if you don't have the resources, you have to create them! I've already sent someone to a big hospital in the city to get a doctor!"

Finally, when You Shiqun, wearing a sterile gown, entered the operating room, it was the most painful moment for Jingzhi.

Lying on the operating table, Jingzhi felt waves of contractions causing her to scream uncontrollably.

You Shiqun stopped, half-closing his eyes. That voice seemed to transport him back to those years… Back then, she had also tossed and turned in such agony; back then, he hadn't taken her to the hospital; back then, he had watched helplessly as she struggled to give birth…

Jingzhi's senses were consumed by pain. She cried out incessantly, the pain in her lower abdomen making her feel as if her back was about to break. Helplessly, she reached out to grab the bed railing, and just then, a pair of warm, large hands suddenly grasped hers tightly…

You Shiqun silently and tightly embraced Jingzhi, who was soaked in sweat. He held this petite girl close, as if he were holding her…

Back then, her voice echoed in his ears: "Shiqun, hug me, hug me, I'm so cold! I don't want to be alone, I'm so scared..."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" he choked out, "I'm here! I'm here!"

The doctors and nurses nearby were busy checking: "Is the cervix dilated yet?"

"Not yet! It's only dilated three centimeters, not even ten centimeters yet, it's still a long way off!" a nurse answered skillfully.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the nurse said, "Ten centimeters!"

Waves of contractions tormented Jingzhi; she felt as if her back was about to break. Suddenly, a thick, watery liquid gushed from between her legs, and the rapidly flowing blood instantly soaked Jingzhi's legs.

The midwife shouted to Jingzhi, "Her water broke! Push harder!" Then she shouted to You Shiqun, "Since you insist on staying here with the mother, hold her hand tightly!"

"Push!" the midwife yelled!

"I know!" Jingzhi's voice trembled with tears, "But how do I push?"

"Push hard! Don't let the baby get stuck here, it's dangerous!"

Jingzhi was terrified. She suddenly took a deep breath, shouted loudly, and pushed hard once more. The baby's head emerged first, and a pink little baby was finally born.

The doctor held it up for Jingzhi and You Shiqun to see his little penis. He was a little boy with a large lung capacity, and his cry was so loud! He weighed a full six pounds, which was considered healthy for a premature baby! The baby was quickly placed in an incubator for care.

However, Jingzhi's suffering was far from over… The delivery bed where Jingzhi lay was covered in blood, and the blood flowed like an unstoppable spring!

You Shiqun couldn't even look at the baby. He held Jingzhi's little hand tightly in his, which was gradually becoming cold. The nurse pushed over an oxygen cylinder, put an oxygen mask on Jingzhi, then applied pressure to the wound and packed large pieces of gauze to stop the bleeding, but all these efforts failed to stop the bleeding!

Jingzhi was completely unaware that she was experiencing severe bleeding. She heard her baby's loud cries but couldn't bring herself to look at the child. She felt so cold, so thirsty, so tired, and just wanted to close her eyes and sleep…

"The pregnant woman's contractions are bad, she's hemorrhaging, prepare for a transfusion!"

However, a short while later, the blood bank informed her that their A-type blood supply was insufficient. Given the urgent need for blood, it was impossible to get it from the city's central blood bank, as time was running out, and the mother could lose her life at any moment.

"Quickly, make an appeal over the hospital's public address system to see if anyone with A-type blood can donate!"

"Wait! Don't bother looking!" You Shiqun stopped the hurried nurse: "I'm A-type blood, take my blood!"

Chapter 35 Premature Birth (Part 2)

"How's the patient's blood pressure?" Jingzhi heard the doctor's shout: "Damn it! How could there be a blood shortage?"

"I'm sorry! The surgery department performed several surgeries today, and the patients all happened to be A-type blood!"

"Is the plasma donated by the family ready?"

"Ready!"

…

What was this feeling? Jingzhi suddenly felt her body float up...

Then, to her surprise, she found herself slowly rising higher. She could clearly see the thin, pale girl lying on the bed—it was actually herself?

Many doctors and nurses surrounded the girl, the bustling crowd almost engulfing her.

She drifted through the ward with a hint of melancholy. A man, almost exhausted, leaned against a sofa in the corner of the room, his face pale and his sleeves half-rolled up. This man had just donated blood for her.

"We can't let her die!" the man suddenly roared. "Save her!"

The doctors, busy with the resuscitation, were startled by the shout and turned around in unison. Jingzhi was also startled by the shout. In an instant, she opened her eyes; she was back on the cold delivery bed, surrounded by people!

"She's awake! She's awake!" The surrounding voices were noisy and chaotic: "It's good that she's awake!"

"My baby, my baby..." Jingzhi frantically searched, "Where's my baby?"

"It's alright, it's alright! The baby is fine!" An older nurse comforted her with a smile, "She's sleeping in the incubator! The expectant mother did a great job!"

"Is the baby really alright?" Jingzhi looked uncertainly at everyone, and the doctors and nurses surrounding her nodded in unison.

You Shiqun stood outside the crowd, silent.

This girl covered in blood looked so much like her...

He stood there, stunned, suddenly breathing heavily, sweat beading on his forehead!

...

"Take the baby away!" He seemed to be transported back to those years, hearing his own voice, hoarse with anger: "I don't want to see this child!"

I don't want to see this child!

His voice boomed through the room. He saw the fear in her eyes as she desperately clutched his sleeve: "No, you can't take my child away!"

"Why not?" He laughed loudly. "This child shouldn't have been yours to begin with! Have the servants take him! Take him to an orphanage, wherever you take him, just don't let me see him!"

"No, you can't do this!" Still weak from giving birth, she climbed out of bed and hugged his waist: "Shiqun, I beg you!"

He abruptly closed his eyes. "

...

Mr. You! Mr. You!" You Shiqun was suddenly awakened by the doctor's calls. He turned his head, and the attending physician standing beside him was taking off his sweat-soaked glasses: "The mother is out of danger, and both mother and baby are safe."

"Okay, thank you!" You Shiqun hesitated for a moment: "Take me to see the baby."

In the special care ward for premature infants, Jingzhi, who had risked her life to give birth to a tiny baby boy, was sleeping peacefully in the incubator. His tiny fists were clenched into a ball, a pink and tender little bundle, with jet-black hair, a small nose and mouth...

"This is a very beautiful and healthy baby boy!" the doctor said with a smile: "Actually, if you don't want to try to save the pregnancy, you can have a cesarean section directly. There are many premature babies born now."

"Yes," You Shiqun murmured: "I didn't expect it to be so dangerous. I should have known that a cesarean section would have been better."

The baby in the incubator seemed to sense that someone was watching him. After sleeping for a while, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his eyes slowly opened to look at him, his big, round, dark eyes.

"Wow! He's opened his eyes! Look, look!" The nurse beside him was also captivated by the baby: "So cute!"

The attending physician explained to him, "Premature babies are more vulnerable than full-term babies! That's why we usually strengthen their tactile therapy!"

"Our hospital is equipped with far-infrared radiation beds and imported incubators. We provide tactile therapy for every premature baby, allowing them to receive maternal love and playing a positive role in their psychological and physiological development."

The professional tactile therapist took the baby out of the incubator and, while massaging the baby, explained the benefits of infant massage to You Shiqun:

"Premature babies' organs are not fully developed, and tactile therapy has many benefits for promoting their growth and development! For example, premature babies who have undergone tactile therapy gain weight faster, have stronger disease resistance, are less prone to colds, sleep soundly, cry less, are more responsive, and develop well in terms of intelligence and family relationships. Tactile therapy can also prevent premature infant mortality."

"Want to try?" The massage therapist noticed You Shiqun's nervous gaze as he touched the child. "Parents can also learn some basic techniques and help their children exercise more often!"

"No, thank you!" You Shiqun gave a stiff smile. "I don't know how!"

"A little touch is fine!" The massage therapist smiled. "It's not that difficult, give it a try!"

You Shiqun hesitated for a long time. He had been disinfected before coming in. Did he really want to try touching this child?

Hesitantly, he extended his fingers and stroked the child's soft little face. Suddenly, the babbling baby reached out and grabbed his outstretched index finger, its tiny hand only big enough to grasp his fingertip.

In that instant, the softest part of You Shiqun's heart was deeply touched. He took a deep breath, then another. A fragile little life, in its own way, was declaring its existence to him!

If massage can promote the development of an infant's body and mind and the growth of its organs, then this gentle touch also touched You Shiqun's cold and barren heart.

A child, a fragile little baby, reappeared before him after all these years of trying so hard to forget…

Chapter Thirty-Six: Car Accident

“Dad, I’ve already asked the villa security guard! Jingzhi is in the hospital, and you took her there! Please don’t deny it!”

“Yes,” You Shiqun sighed helplessly, “It seems I can’t hide it from you anymore. She’s in the hospital; she gave birth to a premature baby!”

“You told me to use my blood to test the surrogate child’s DNA, but you took Jingzhi to the hospital!”

You Shiqun laughed, “You Yang, you certainly know how to make connections!”

“It’s not that I’m making connections, but I suddenly realized why Jingzhi gives me such a familiar feeling! Because she’s that girl! Dad, please don’t deny it!”

“Alright!” You Shiqun sighed, “You guessed right!”

“I want to see Jingzhi!”

“Are you kidding me?”

"I'm not joking! To be precise, I'm calling you right from my doorstep!" You Yang got out of a sleek sports car and waved to Tie Yikun as he drove away. "I got off the plane today and came back with Iron-Faced God!"

You Shiqun frowned. "You Yang, you need to think this through. It's true that Jingzhi's child is yours by blood, but are you really sure you love her? Not out of pity or responsibility?"

"Of course I'm sure! Not out of pity, not out of responsibility! I'll put my luggage away and head to the hospital right away!"

"Alright!" You Shiqun sighed. "I still want to remind you, don't be impulsive. You haven't known each other long enough. Do you really understand each other? Seeing the child is fine, but don't reveal your identity yet."

"Okay! Dad, I know! I know! I'll talk to you when we meet!"

You Yang hung up his phone and drove his Land Rover out of the garage. As he backed up, he noticed a familiar white sedan parked outside his front door—Wu Yanya's car.

Wu Yanya? You Yang frowned. It had been so long; he had almost forgotten about this woman.

"You Yang!" Wu Yanya slammed the car door shut, walked to his car, and placed her hand on the window.

A smile played on her lips. "You didn't even call me after returning to the country! If I hadn't happened to be at the airport picking someone up, we would have missed each other again!"

Goodness, this woman's skin is really thick!

You Yang narrowed his eyes. Thinking of Jingzhi being tied up in the ambulance and nearly drowning, he knew it must be related to this woman!

"Xiaoya!" He smiled slightly. "I have an urgent matter to attend to. I'll contact you when I get back!"

"No rush!" Wu Yanya's attitude was also very good. "I'll wait for you!"

She watched You Yang's car drive away, maintaining her smile until it was out of sight, before finally taking out her phone.

At the hospital, You Shiqun suddenly felt his eyelids twitching. He walked anxiously towards Jingzhi's ward, wondering if You Yang's impulsive return was a good thing or a bad thing.

Just then, his phone rang.

It was a business manager in the company who reported directly to him, bypassing several levels, saying that stowaways were discovered just as the containers were being loaded onto the ship for export!

"Do I really need to get involved in this? It's only 7 a.m.," You Shiqun said, feeling both amused and exasperated. "Go talk to your vice president."

"But... boss, customs said they'll only speak to you! If you don't go, they'll hold onto the goods and won't release them."

"Damn it, okay! I'll head over right away!"

Everything seemed to be planned. You Shiqun rushed to the customs dock, while You Yang rushed to the hospital.

Meanwhile, inside the hospital, Jingzhi and her baby were still fast asleep, completely unaware that a long-planned conspiracy had been unfolding before everyone…

“I don’t care, all I want now is to make that old fox childless,” Wu Yanya lit a cigarette, not even glancing at the men in the heavy truck. “We must create a perfect car accident scene! As for you…”

She turned to the two women dressed as caregivers standing behind her: “If the accident really happens, that old fox won’t have time to stand guard by the premature baby’s incubator. You need to take the baby out during the hospital’s lunch break!”

“If we fail again this time, you can forget about getting your final payment!”

After all the tasks were assigned, Wu Yanya watched the people who had been given tasks disappear. She leaned against the hood of the car and smiled slightly:

“You Shiqun, I’m going to let you know what it means to be childless!”

You Yang drove towards the sea, thinking about Jingzhi in his heart. He hadn’t expected that the girl in the darkness was actually Jingzhi!

And the man he had been constantly jealous of for so many months was actually himself! This situation was absolutely hilarious!

He couldn't help but smile as he drove; Jingzhi's child was his, and Jingzhi would soon be his!

On the highway to the seaside, many trucks were being pulled over for overloading early that morning, and the fog had thickened considerably, reducing visibility.

Every car had its headlights on in the fog, but visibility was still far from ideal.

A minibus that had been driving ahead of You Yang, maintaining a fast and steady pace,

was suddenly pulled over to the side of the road. With that stop, there was no obstruction in front of You Yang's car; the road ahead was empty, leading to a very steep uphill section. About

500 meters ahead, a fully loaded heavy truck was slowly climbing the hill. Seeing that it was far enough away and uphill, You Yang didn't slow down.

Suddenly, for some reason, the truck in front of him stopped climbing the hill and then, incredibly, slid down the highest point at an astonishing speed.

In a split second, You Yang stared blankly as the truck hurtled towards him like a vengeful demon!

Silence!

He only heard a deafening crash, followed by utter darkness…

You Shiqun was suddenly jolted awake by the noise. He opened his eyes: “What’s wrong? Xiao Liang?”

“There seems to be a car accident at the Cui Family intersection ahead!” Driver Xiao Liang pointed ahead with his chin. “There’s a huge traffic jam.”

"How could there be a car accident!" You Shiqun shook his head, glanced at his watch, and suddenly, a sense of foreboding flashed through his mind: "Don't take a detour!"

He stopped the driver: "Stop the car, I need to go check!"

At the scene of the accident, a large heavy-duty truck was parked, and a Land Rover Jeep was almost wedged under it...

When You Shiqun saw the Land Rover Jeep that had crashed diagonally into the back of the truck, he froze instantly!

When he saw the authentic license plate...

"You Yang!" You Shiqun's first reaction was to rush over, his son...

but he was already stopped by the traffic police who had surrounded the scene: "Don't disturb the scene!"

"No! You Yang!" You Shiqun ignored the police's obstruction and rushed over, only to see a Land Rover Jeep with its front bumper completely retracted, the interior filled with blood-stained airbags.

The driver was nowhere to be seen in the driver's seat.

A tow truck was pulling the jeep out from under the truck…

“Where is he? Where is the driver?” You Shiqun stood there, stunned.

“He was taken to the hospital! The seaside hospital!”

Without a word, You Shiqun turned and got into his car, instructing the driver, “Back to the hospital!”

In his memory, he seemed to have encountered an ambulance on the way here!

Just then, his phone rang.

You Shiqun glanced at the number; it was unfamiliar, but he answered anyway.

“Mr. You?” A man with a southern accent answered, “Your grandson is in my hands! You must have 10 million yuan in cash ready, not a penny less!”

“Wait, what did you say… Hello?” The call ended!

You Shiqun frowned. He had been too careless, underestimating the other party's strength.

A familiar author's book, before it was even published, was pirated by unscrupulous booksellers and sold at extremely low prices on Taobao. It's unbelievable! The consequence of piracy is that her book can never be published in print. I wonder if this kind of piracy will suffer the same fate. When I wrote this, I intended for everyone to be able to see it, releasing it only when the release conditions were met. But now, every time a VIP chapter is released, it's stolen. I'm speechless. Book piracy is shameful; please respect the author's work… If the book piracy continues, we authors may choose to stop releasing chapters or slow down the release pace.

Chapter 37: Coma.

After the car accident, You Yang was initially taken to the seaside hospital, but because the hospital's equipment and medical staff were not qualified to perform major craniotomy, he was transferred back to the city's central hospital.

If You Yang hadn't been cushioned by the airbag in the Land Rover, he might have died. He fell into a deep coma after the accident. The doctors consulting on the case were very cautious in their description of the severity of his injuries.

However, You Shiqun knew the injury was severe. The hospital had already activated vital signs-maintaining equipment such as a ventilator to save him. Most alarmingly, his left ear was bleeding intermittently, and the specific extent of the brain injury was still being analyzed.

"Mr. You, you need to be prepared. Your son has intracranial hemorrhage and is in critical condition. Even if he recovers, he may become a vegetable. Even if he wakes up, whether he will survive is uncertain."

"Is the brain hemorrhage serious?" You Shiqun's voice remained unsteady.

"Well, it's hard to say!"

"No matter what!" You Shiqun said almost as if he had given a death order: "Wake him up! Even if he can't move, he needs to be conscious!"

"Mr. You, we understand the feelings of the patient's family, but please calm down..."

"Okay! Just do your best to save him, don't worry about money!"

"This isn't about money," an elderly doctor with gray hair took off his glasses: "Whether he wakes up or not depends on the child's fate!"

After the consulting doctors left, You Shiqun turned around and stared blankly at You Yang lying on the bed. Thanks to the protection of the air bag, there were no obvious injuries on his body, only a purplish-blue mark on his forehead.

The hissing of the oxygen tank, the sounds of the ventilator and various life-sustaining instruments should have felt noisy, but You Shiqun felt instead—the ward was deathly silent.

The door opened, and Tie Yikun walked in: "Shiqun, the kidnappers have been dealt with. It was indeed Wu Yanya's doing in a fit of rage. The child is safe and sound."

"I'll make that little bitch go to jail and live like an old woman!" You Shiqun clenched his fist: "Tell our group's construction division to steal the business the Wu family got at all costs. I'll make them regret having such a daughter for the rest of their lives!"

"Okay!" Tie Yikun nodded, then hesitated and said, "That contract..."

"Was it drafted as I instructed?"

"Yes!" "

Then there's no need to look at it!" You Shiqun waved his hand, "You handle everything!"

"This..." Tie Yikun looked at You Yang: "Isn't it a bit too hasty?"

"I'm afraid things might change if we wait too long!" You Shiqun sighed, "Alright, waiting another month is fine!"

Jingzhi and the child were also taken to the Central Hospital and placed in a special care ward, separated from You Yang's by only one wall.

After about 5 or 6 days, You Yang, who had been in a coma, slightly opened his eyes, and the caregivers immediately called You Shiqun.

When You Shiqun arrived, You Yang smiled slightly at him.

"Yangyang? The child!" In his anxiety, You Shiqun forgot his composure.

However, You Yang seemed disoriented. His eyes flickered, and his lips parted slightly, clearly uttering two words: "Jingzhi!"

"Child, what did you say?"

"Jingzhi~~~~~~~" You Yang murmured. His lucidity didn't last long; less than an hour later, he had fallen back into a coma.

"Mr. You, although your son occasionally makes simple movements, his consciousness is still in a semi-awake state. You, the family, should be prepared that this child may not wake up. Even if he does, he may lose speech and the function of his left and right hands."

"What about surgery? Will surgery improve things?"

"It can improve things, but that depends on fate!"

You Shiqun turned his head, looked at the soundly sleeping You Yang, and slowly walked out of the ward. Next door was Jingzhi's ward. She had almost recovered and could get out of bed to walk and do simple exercises. The

premature baby, however, was not placed in the same ward as her.

Jingzhi repeatedly asked, but the answer was always the same: the child needed to rest in an incubator.

She wanted to visit, but the doctor wouldn't allow it.

You Shiqun bluntly told her, "You Yang was in a car accident, go see him!" What he didn't say was that the first thing You Yang called out when he woke up was Jingzhi's name.

Jingzhi hadn't expected You Yang to have such a serious accident, but she didn't ask many questions. She took over the special care work, reading the newspaper to You Yang, talking to him, and massaging him every day. Even when he didn't wake up, she never gave up.

Sure enough, two days later, You Yang's condition improved again. He began to gradually wake up, each time for a very short time, and he still couldn't make a sound. However, he could understand the simple meaning of what Jingzhi said and could blink normally.

To be precise, he recognized Jingzhi and was quite happy; his mental and physical condition recovered quickly. Two

days later, he was even able to speak.

"Jingzhi!" he called Jingzhi's name clearly, startling her.

"He can speak!" She turned to look at You Shiqun: "He can speak!"

You Shiqun quickly went to the bedside. You Yang looked at him and softly called out, "Dad!" Then he turned back and called out, "Jingzhi."

At that moment, both Jingzhi and You Shiqun were moved to tears. He held You Yang's hand tightly: "Son!"

Jingzhi quietly watched the family, silently thanking You Yang for his strong will to live!

However, Jingzhi also knew that You Yang needed to undergo another major craniocerebral surgery to overcome this difficult time. If he could pull through, he might make a full recovery!

You Shiqun was very anxious about the surgery. He discussed it repeatedly with the experts who came from all over the country for consultation, while Jingzhi did her best to take care of You Yang.

Finally, the day of the surgery arrived, and the surgical consent form was handed to You Shiqun.

"This outlines the potential problems that may arise during the surgery," the attending physician explained to You Shiqun. "

Once you've read it carefully, you can sign it!" You Shiqun's hand trembled violently as he held the pen. "This is no joke, brain surgery!" He looked up at the attending physician. "Are you confident you can cure him?"

"Nobody can guarantee that! The chances are fifty-fifty!"

Jingzhi watched You Shiqun sign, and then he looked up and saw Jingzhi. She had recovered well these past few days; her face was rosy, and although her figure had recovered somewhat, she still couldn't overexert herself.

She had been busy taking care of You Yang these past few days and hadn't gotten much rest herself.

"Go back to your room and rest!" You Shiqun whispered to Jingzhi, "You've been exhausted these past few days!"

"Okay, can I go see the baby?"

You Shiqun lowered his head, looking at Jingzhi, his tone becoming strange, "Of course, he's your child now!"

The baby was so cute, a delicate, adorable doll. Jingzhi greedily gazed at the baby through the incubator, waiting for the massage therapist to arrive so she could hold him!

To be precise, for the past few days, the nurses had been pumping her breast milk to feed the baby, but today, she would breastfeed him herself!

Outside the operating room.

You Yang had been in the operating room for several hours. You Shiqun paced anxiously in the corridor. What would the outcome of the surgery be?

Finally, the light on the operating room door went out, the operating room door opened, and sweat soaked through the doctor's robe.

"How is it? How did it go?"

"Everything went smoothly!" The doctor's face showed relief: "With proper recovery, there shouldn't be any aftereffects!"

"Good!" You Shiqun nodded, turned around, took out his phone, and dialed Tie Yikun's number: "Take the drafted agreement and come to the hospital immediately!"

Chapter 38 Separation (Part 1)

Jingzhi held the tiny baby in her arms. He closed his eyes and instinctively found her nipple, suckling powerfully. In an instant, Jingzhi's chest was filled with a deep maternal love.

A mother's embrace is heaven for a child, isn't it? And vice versa.

Jingzhi hugged the little person in her arms tightly. Good heavens, if time could turn back, she would definitely not sign an agreement to sell her child now!

She couldn't understand what kind of mother in the world would be so heartless as to abandon her own child. However, she couldn't help but worry in her heart, worry about the terrible agreement she had signed...

After the baby finished nursing from one side, under the guidance of the caregiver, Jingzhi switched to the other side. She held the baby blankly, lost in thought.

So when the baby choked on a mouthful of milk, she finally snapped out of her daze. She frantically picked the baby up and patted his back.

Unable to find the nipple, the baby's little mouth twitched, and he burst into tears!

Just as things were getting chaotic, there was a knock on the ward door.

"Xue Jingzhi!" Someone was looking for her!

Jingzhi assumed something had happened to You Yang again and hurriedly handed the baby to the caregiver.

But when she stepped out of the ward, she found it wasn't about You Yang at all. Standing outside were two men in suits, one of whom she recognized very well—the man who had sat next to Wu Yanya when she signed the surrogacy agreement!

"Miss Jingzhi!" the man stepped forward. "Let's talk in private."

These two men, through some connections, had arranged for them to meet privately in a hospital conference room.

Jingzhi sat down nervously in front of them. The thing she had been fearing had finally happened! She had thought she could stall for time...

"Ms. Jingzhi, according to the agreement, you must unconditionally and completely relinquish custody of the child you give birth to!"

Another man, who had been silent until now, pushed a thick agreement across the table: "Take a look! This is a supplementary agreement!"

Jingzhi looked at him, then at the lawyer from the surrogacy agency she knew.

"Don't worry, Attorney Tie is the lawyer fully authorized by the child's father! This agreement is just a supplement to the previous one; it will only benefit you, not harm you."

Jingzhi took a deep breath and picked up the agreement...

The agreement detailed all the benefits Jingzhi would receive after relinquishing custody, including the full surrogacy fee, various nutritional expenses, lost wages, the keys to a newly renovated apartment in the city, and an education fund? An

education fund? Jingzhi stared in disbelief at the substantial sum—far exceeding the surrogacy fee!

This was a special fund specifically for Jingzhi to continue her studies or start a business. Jingzhi could use it to apply for overseas study, pursue further education, or use it as a loan for business—in short, it was earmarked for specific purposes and could only be used for learning and entrepreneurship.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a very generous supplementary agreement. Besides relinquishing custody of the child, Jingzhi also had to promise never to disturb the child's father.

Where was the woman who hired her as a surrogate and later tried to kill her?

"I want to ask, why didn't that lady, the lady who hired me as a surrogate, come?"

"Well," the lawyer from the surrogacy agency's expression remained unchanged, "our company's agreement only involves contacting the parties individually. As for the lady who came that day, I'm not entirely sure. Anyway, please rest assured, nothing will happen."

"Wait, let me think!" Jingzhi clasped her hands together, pondering for a long time, "Can I take this agreement and leave for a moment? I'd like to consult with someone first."

"Please go ahead!"

Jingzhi took the agreement and hurriedly went to find You Shiqun. He was knowledgeable and experienced; he would surely understand matters related to this agreement.

"You said you wanted my advice?" In an instant, You Shiqun's face seemed to have been slapped!

"Yes! Who else could I turn to? I don't know anyone."

"Alright, give it to me!"

Jingzhi handed him the agreement.

You Shiqun took the agreement and carefully read through it, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper: "What was your motivation for signing this agreement?"

“Because I need money!” Jingzhi smiled bitterly, “My mother has a terminal illness and needs a lot of money!”

“Oh…” You Shiqun quickly flipped through the agreement, “This clause needs to be changed!”

“Which clause?”

“The amount of the education and entrepreneurship fund!” You Shiqun pointed to the agreement, “Double it again! I’ll add it for you!”

“This…”

“Don’t hesitate! You’re selling your child, try to get as much as possible!”

“Okay, thank you!” Jingzhi took the heavy agreement. The walk back felt so long. Was she really going to sell her lovely child? She must be crazy!

“Do you understand everything?” Tie Yikun cautiously looked at Jingzhi, “Miss Xue, you can sign now!”

“Okay!” Jingzhi picked up the pen and stared blankly at the agreement—she was extremely unwilling to sign!

“Sign it!” Tie Yikun reminded her, “The agreement will take effect immediately after it’s signed. I’ve brought the cash and bank drafts!”

“Okay!” Jingzhi picked up the pen and signed her name on the agreement.

Chapter 39 Separation (Part 2)

“Okay!” Tie Yikun pushed a bank draft across the table.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and You Shiqun strode in. Jingzhi looked up in surprise, meeting his furrowed brows.

"Signed it?"

"Uh?" Tie Yikun was taken aback, unsure if You Shiqun was asking him or Jingzhi.

"Signed it?" You Shiqun asked again, this time addressing Jingzhi.

Jingzhi didn't understand his question, staring blankly at him.

"I asked you if you signed it?"

"Signed it!" Jingzhi bit her lip. "What do you mean by asking this?"

"Why did you sign it?" You Shiqun's question was even more absurd.

“Because…” Jingzhi was also stunned. She turned to look at Tie Yikun, who was equally surprised. “This gentleman said, he said…”

“Never mind!” You Shiqun waved his hand and turned to Tie Yikun and the surrogacy company’s lawyer. “You can leave now!”

“Okay!” Tie Yikun took the agreement and glanced at Jingzhi meaningfully. “Ms. Xue, the provisions in the agreement are effective immediately. The nanny we brought will take the baby away directly!” Jingzhi was

stunned. “Can’t we wait until the baby is a little older?”

“Ms. Xue, you just signed to give up custody of the child!”

Before Jingzhi could speak, You Shiqun suddenly spoke. “You can leave now. The child can stay for a few more days!”

“Alright!” Tie Yikun looked at You Shiqun in confusion and left the conference room with the surrogacy company’s lawyer.

Jingzhi finally sensed something was wrong. She turned to You Shiqun, stunned. "Why did they listen to you? They...they..."

The color drained from Jingzhi's face. She stared at You Shiqun in surprise, covering her mouth. "You..."

"What about me?" You Shiqun took a step forward, forcing Jingzhi to retreat, then another. "Why did you sign this agreement? It seems you still want money more than this child."

"But I can't break the previous agreement! No! Wait! What's your relationship with them?" Jingzhi suddenly hardened. "You! You wouldn't be..."

"Wouldn't be who?" You Shiqun smiled grimly. "I don't have a wife waiting for a child, if you mean that..."

"Really?" Jingzhi clutched her chest, desperately trying to recall the man in the darkness. They spoke very little, and that man's voice seemed younger than hers...

However, her gaze swept over You Shiqun's still lean physique. Their builds were quite similar!

A wildest guess—You Shiqun was the man in the darkness! But she couldn't be sure. Driven mad by this terrifying suspicion, Jingzhi stumbled backward, finally collapsing into a chair, lost in thought.

After a long, long time, You Shiqun suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse: "If you hadn't signed this supplementary agreement, perhaps everything would have been different."

"Different in what way?" Jingzhi repeated his words blankly, unsure what answer she would hear.

"If you insist on only getting the surrogacy money, and if you don't sign this supplementary agreement, you can retain custody of the child. Didn't you think of that?"

"I...I didn't know...Would it be? If I don't sign the supplementary agreement, I...can still have custody of the child?"
"Yes!" You Shiqun sighed, then turned to face her. "However, you're quite decisive! Good that you signed! After signing, you can have the money you've always dreamed of, live the wealthy life you've longed for, and save 30 years of hard work. You can also become a dutiful daughter, and your family can quickly escape poverty and become wealthy."

"Wait! Mr. You, what are you saying? It sounds like you're saying I want to get rich by selling my child?"

Jingzhi was stunned. Was this terrifying accusation directed at her? She had never even considered such things, let alone deliberately pursued them!

"Isn't that right?" You Shiqun sneered, picking up the huge, instantly cashable cashier's check from the table. "This, and this..."

He picked up a copy of the agreement beneath the check, as well as the property deed. "These are all right here. Can you object? If you knew these were all given to you by me, if you knew you would receive even more if you didn't sign this agreement, would you still sign it?"

Jingzhi was completely stunned!

What was all this about? What was You Shiqun saying?

In Jingzhi's eyes, You Shiqun had always been like an elder, or an older brother. The goodwill she had slowly built up towards him over the past few days vanished in an instant.

There were things she wanted to ask, but dared not!

You Shiqun, are you really the man in the shadows?

Jingzhi wanted to ask, but dared not. She was afraid... afraid of hearing a definite answer!

What if You Shiqun really was that man? Then... wouldn't she be involved with both You Yang and his son? What kind of bizarre situation was this?

Jingzhi covered her mouth, but a hysterical laugh broke the silence between them: "Yes! I sold my child, so what?"

Jingzhi stood up, raised her chin, and looked directly into You Shiqun's eyes:

"But I never sell my dignity! Please... don't trample on my dignity! I have never thought, don't think now, and never want to have anything to do with you or your son!"

You Shiqun's expression was inscrutable. He watched Jingzhi pick up the stack of documents, watched her walk to the door, and then Jingzhi turned around: "Goodbye, Mr. You, goodbye!"

The door slammed shut...

Chapter 40: Scheming

Jingzhi ran out of the hospital in tears, clutching the contract for selling her child. She just wanted to escape, to escape as far away as possible!

But where could she escape to?

Her mother's illness had reached the point where she needed money the most. She really didn't want to sell her child, but did she have a choice? No!

Money or child, she chose money, not out of cruelty, but out of pragmatism.

Selling the child at least puts their life out of danger, but the mother is waiting for the money to treat her illness!

"Fine, even if people misunderstand me as a gold digger, it's fine." Jingzhi cashed in the huge promissory note and used the trust loan to help Xue Ran arrange his studies abroad. After all, the loan didn't stipulate that only she could use it, right?

She forced herself to go to the hospital to take care of her mother. At least now she didn't have to take care of her mother while heavily pregnant, and no one except Xue Ran knew about her deal.

However, Jingzhi was wrong!

The absence of a large belly reminded her that she was an expectant mother, but her still-recovering postpartum figure and her swollen breasts constantly reminded her.

Jingzhi had just finished breastfeeding her baby that morning, and by noon, both her breasts were full of milk. Every day at this time, the nurses would use a breast pump to express milk for the baby, but now…

Jingzhi hid in the bathroom, expressing milk while shedding tears.

That milk was supposed to be for the baby, but now it was being squeezed out and thrown away!

This feeling was truly like having her blood drained and thrown away!

Xue Ran noticed Jingzhi's change, but he wisely didn't ask any more questions.

To be precise, Jingzhi knew that after everything that had happened, she couldn't be the same as before. Both her appearance and her heart had changed.

Would Xue Ran ask her specific questions? And how should she answer him?

But one thing Jingzhi understood—even if he did ask, she absolutely couldn't talk about the humiliating thing that had happened to her.

Yes, humiliation, the humiliation of being deceived…

She could feel her hatred for You Shiqun growing stronger every day. What kind of scheming could make You Shiqun go to such lengths to snatch that child, just to drive her away?

Jingzhi recalled again and again the man she met in the darkness of the wooden house. She grew increasingly terrified of knowing the truth, terrified that the man was You Shiqun.

If he… if that man really was him, even though he was savage, Jingzhi knew that he truly desired her body.

And You Yang… Jingzhi's eyes filled with tears. You Yang liked her, and she liked You Yang too, but there was no chance for them!

Jingzhi didn't know what You Shiqun was planning. Perhaps he already knew who she was, but couldn't directly stop You Yang.

So, to prevent them from getting closer, You Shiqun exploited Jingzhi's kindness, treating her as a pawn or a bargaining chip, using her when he wanted and discarding her when he was done.

Perhaps, in You Shiqun's eyes, all women were materialistic?

Didn't You Shiqun consider that even surrogate mothers had dignity and compelling reasons...? Or perhaps he already knew, but he never took other people's dignity and feelings seriously.

Well then!

She would take her mother and younger brother away from this place of heartbreak, never wanting to see the You family again!

*******************************************

After the surgery, You Yang had been in a coma for half a month. Every day, You Shiqun would stand outside the ward, gazing at his comatose son.

"Why did you do this?" Tie Yikun appeared behind him. "You didn't have to let her know that you were the one who paid. Why did you make her so desperate?"

"Sometimes..." You Shiqun said slowly, "Despair is better than disappointment!"

"What did you say?" Tie Yikun was stunned.

“She doesn’t love You Yang now, she just cares about him a lot!” You Shiqun nodded. “She loves her mother, so she chose to sell her child…”

“Shiqun, you can’t be so extreme. That girl had no other choice but to do this.”

“Yes! I understand all of this…” You Shiqun sighed, slowly pushing open the door and entering the ward. “But what if I told you that You Yang might never wake up again?”

“Didn’t they say…” Tie Yikun involuntarily followed him into the ward. “Didn’t they say he was recovering well? That there wouldn’t be any aftereffects?”

“Haha!” You Shiqun smiled bitterly. You Yang’s eyes were tightly closed on the hospital bed, his pale face devoid of color. “The doctor told me that even if he wakes up, he might be paralyzed for life… or perhaps, he’ll never wake up.”

“But…”

“Have you thought about that?” You Shiqun slowly reached out and covered his son’s forehead, where his once thick hair had been shaved off due to the cranial surgery…

"What have you thought about? That You Yang won't wake up?" Tie Yikun frowned. "Is this one of the reasons you're so determined to take that child?"

"That's only one reason!" You Shiqun's lips twitched. "If You Yang doesn't wake up, won't that girl's life be ruined? With her personality, she'll definitely think she's Nightingale reincarnated. She'll stay with You Yang out of guilt, not love."

"Guilt? Love?" Tie Yikun seemed to understand something. "But you don't have to make things so tense!"

"Then what do you want me to do?" You Shiqun sneered. "Persuade her to leave with all my heart? I'm not that kind of person."

"Shiqun, you're crazy!" Tie Yikun murmured. "By hurting that girl like this, separating her from her child, are you sure you're really doing the right thing?"

"I don't know!" You Shiqun sighed. "However, only in this way can she truly make up her mind to leave. Only in this way will she start a new life. This girl is too young; she doesn't know what she wants. Perhaps this kind of compensation can help her start a new life."

“But what if You Yang wakes up? What if You Yang asks about her? What if You Yang still wants to find her…” Tie Yikun began to ramble incoherently, “How do you know if that girl loves You Yang? You can’t act like an omnipotent God; you can’t control people’s fates!”

“Can’t I?” You Shiqun sneered, his gaze turning cold and gloomy as he looked at Tie Yikun. “This decision of mine has been carefully considered. Only in this way can I completely sever her connection with the child. Only in this way can I let her go far away. Only in this way can I…”

He suddenly stopped, turned, and hurriedly left the ward.

“And what can you do?” Tie Yikun sighed, turning back to look at the unconscious You Yang. “See? Your father is punishing you for his own mistakes.”

“Hmm…”

Tie Yikun was stunned. What had he just heard?

"You Yang?" He couldn't believe his eyes as the unconscious You Yang slightly opened them. "Oh my god! Shi Qun, Shi Qun! You Yang is awake!"

When You Shi Qun arrived at the ward, Tie Yikun stood up from the bedside, turned to look at him, and his expression was serious.

The bright sunlight streamed warmly into the room through the window, and the oxygen tank hissed rhythmically. Everything seemed so much like the day she left him...

You Shi Qun entered the ward with a hint of fear, but a low, hoarse voice broke through his fear.

"Hey, Dad!" This was the most beautiful call he had ever heard from his son. You Shi Qun suddenly smiled, unaware that tears were already streaming down his face. "Yangyang

!"

"Dad!"

The warm sunlight shone on the father and son embracing each other. Tie Yikun sighed. You Yang, this child, had walked through the gates of hell and come back to life.

How much effort and scheming had You Shiqun expended these past few days! Hopefully, he hadn't miscalculated the feelings between You Yang and that girl.

"Dad, I'm so hungry!" You Yang's tone was light. "Oh my god, where am I?" The smile that had just appeared on You Yang's face slowly darkened. He seemed to suddenly remember how he ended up here.

"You were in a car accident, remember, son?"

"Yes, a truck..." You Yang's face suddenly turned deathly pale. "Where's Jingzhi? Dad? I remember I was going to the hospital to see Jingzhi! Didn't she give birth?"

"You Yang, how can I explain this?"

You Shiqun slowly sat down in the chair beside his bed and reached out to take his hand.

You Yang looked at his father's expression in surprise. He already saw the answer in his father's face. "She left! Taking the money she was supposed to get according to the agreement! To be precise, more money... She gave up custody of the child."
