“That’s it, then. This miss’s body is too weak, so... her condition isn’t suitable for pregnancy. My advice is for this patient to have the child aborted.”

The doctor’s words were like lightning bolts as they struck Gu Zhengrong.

What he could not understand was, while they were at that private hospital in Beijing, the doctor there clearly told him that there was no hope for the child.

Moreover, the child should be gone when Pei Ge’s emotions ran amok, so why was this private doctor he had hired over here saying this to him?

“Doctor, were you mistaken? Didn’t she already have a miscarriage?”

His eyebrows furrowed tightly as he posed this question softly to the doctor, seemingly afraid of waking up the woman in bed.

“Mr. Gu, I wasn’t mistaken. Please trust my professionalism. Your girlfriend didn’t have a miscarriage, but with her body’s condition now, it’ll be tough for her to have this child.”

The man’s query immediately caused the doctor to frown as he sternly relayed this.

“W-What?”

His words shocked the man even more, totally not expecting the child, who should have already lost all signs of life, to still be alive!

“From a doctor’s perspective, I suggest that you guys give up on the child. This miss’s body is too weak and has already hurt the child in her womb. With this situation, it may cause her to give birth to an unhealthy child.”

With the doctor’s simplified analysis, the man easily understood what he meant.

“Got it. You’re advising us to have the child aborted as soon as possible as it will be good for her body; am I right?”

“Yes. After all, being pregnant, no matter how weak the child in the womb is, it will still absorb nutrients from the mother’s body. Also, this miss’s body isn’t very healthy at the moment and needs much more nutrition, so...”

The doctor did not complete his sentence, but he still understood what the former was getting at.

“I understand. Then... when can we do the operation?”

He lowered his head to look at the woman, whose eyes were closed and face was pale as she lay in bed, with a complicated gaze. His eyes then got filled with heartache.

“For this operation, we can wait for the patient to be—”

Before the doctor could finish speaking, Tang Xiaoyu’s voice rang from outside the door.

“Who said that my best friend wants to have the child aborted? Zhengrong, what right do you have to make this decision for her?! As long as I am here, none of you can touch her child!”

The woman quickly strode in and stopped beside the man, giving him an intense stare.

“Xiaoyu, there’s no choice. Her body isn’t in the condition for pregnancy.”

Her firm expression made him frown as his gaze became filled with displeasure.

“What’s wrong with her body?! Didn’t the doctor in Beijing say that her child is gone, yet didn’t she still insist on keeping the child? How could you be so cruel?! Can’t you see how badly she wants this child?!”

She stared at him with eyes ablaze.

“...But her body is truly not suitable—”

He was cut off before he could finish speaking.

“Suitable or not, it’s not for you to decide. Remember this properly: You are not her boyfriend but mine!”

With that, she turned to address the doctor with blonde hair and blue eyes.

“Doc, if my friend insists on giving birth to the child, will it put her in danger?”

“Danger? If the patient insists on giving birth, it will damage her body, but there won’t be any threat to her life.”

The doctor’s words emboldened her.

The actual reason she had stopped her boyfriend from acting upon his judgment to abort the child was, first, she was afraid that her best friend would be unable to take it. After all, she knew how much she wanted this child. Second, she felt that, if her best friend were to have the child, then Gu Zhengrong would not have any more chances with her.

“The danger is actually for the unborn child. As the mother’s body is lacking in nutrients and has signs of possible miscarriage, after the child is born, it may have some sort of congenital illness.”

At this point, she got worried as well. In fact, the scale in her heart had already tilted toward what she had just fervently insisted on.

What she did not expect was for this result not to be the worst yet!

“In the severe case, if this miss’s body doesn’t get proper rest and nutrition, there’s a possibility of the child being stillborn...”

“Ah!” She could not believe her ears, not expecting for the worst-case scenario to be this.

She also could not imagine how devastated Pei Ge would be if she heard this.

“Doc...”

Gu Zhengrong also frowned and moved to ask more questions but was interrupted by a weak and hoarse voice.

“Is my child really that weak?”

The owner of this voice was none other than Pei Ge, who happened to regain consciousness at this point. This woman, whose English was quite fluent, understood everything the doctor had just said.

“Yes. Your health, as well as the baby’s, is quite poor.”

Seeing that she was awake, the doctor turned to address her.

Surprisingly, he found her dark irises unusually bright.

“If I ensure that I get enough nutrients, as well as the baby... the baby should still be fine, though, right?”

Her dark eyes seemed to reflect a sparkling galaxy, causing the doctor, who had insisted on aborting the child, to hesitate.

“In theory, yes, but your body now is very weak. If you insist on giving birth to the child, it may result in your body being exposed to great harm.”
