Less than half an hour after Mu Sijue’s helicopter took off, it landed on the parking apron on the top of the hospital’s building.

  The bodyguard came over and told Mu Sijue, “Seventh Brother, we can get off the helicopter now.”


  Mu Sijue glanced at Xu Youning and ordered in a deep voice, “Get off the helicopter.”


  Xu Youning unbuckled her seat belt and got off the helicopter calmly.

  Ah Guang had already contacted the hospital, and the doctors and nurses were already ready. As soon as Xu Youning got off the helicopter, the nurses immediately pushed the mobile hospital bed to her.

  The director of obstetrics and gynecology walked to Mu Sijue and asked, “Mr. Mu, what’s the matter?”


  Mu Sijue ordered in a cold voice, “Do a checkup for Xu Youning.”


  The director took a look at Xu Youning and asked hesitantly, “A general checkup? Ms. Xu is pregnant, so some radioactive examinations can’t be done. It will affect the fetus.”


  “No, I just want you to have a pregnancy checkup for her,” Mu Sijue said, “and I want to know about the fetus’s situation.”


  In fact, it was not time for Xu Youning’s next checkup. However, since Mu Sijue made such a request, the hospital could not refuse.

  The director nodded. “I see.”


  At the same time, the nurses were persuading Xu Youning to lie on the bed.

  Xu Youning put her hands in the pockets of her coat and looked embarrassed. “I’m fine. I can walk.”


  She was fine, and it was so awkward to be pushed forward on the bed.

  The nurses knew that Xu Youning was taken here by Mu Sijue. If she did not want to lie down, no one dared to force her. So they could only look at the director for help when she came over.

  The director knew that Xu Youning was not an unreasonable person, so she advised, “Ms. Xu, sorry to bother you. Please cooperate with us.”


  Xu Youning had always been amenable to coaxing instead of coercion. Since the director was so polite, she was too embarrassed to insist. Although it was very awkward, she still lay on the hospital bed in the end.

  The director breathed a sigh of relief and ordered, “Send Ms. Xu to the examination room. Hurry up!”


  “Yes!”


  The group of doctors and nurses pushed the hospital bed toward the elevator. After going downstairs, they hurried to the examination room.

  Mu Sijue followed them all the way. No one noticed that he was always clenching his hands, and his nervous expression was very obvious.

  Xu Youning turned her head and inadvertently saw Mu Sijue, and also his nervous expression.

  People who did not know Mu Sijue would probably think that Mu Sijue was angry, and they would therefore be afraid of him at this moment.

  However, Xu Youning knew that Mu Sijue was just uneasy or afraid.

  He was afraid of losing the child.

  Xu Youning knew that Mu Sijue really wanted this child, but she did not expect that he would be so nervous.

  Fortunately, the child should be fine.

  If anything happened to the child, she probably would not be able to leave the hospital alive today.

  The hospital bed was quickly pushed into the examination room. Mu Sijue subconsciously wanted to follow in but was stopped by the nurses.

  The nurse explained, “Mr. Mu, men are not allowed to enter the maternity examination room. Please wait outside.”


  Mu Sijue did not insist. He withdrew his step and watched the door of the examination room slowly close.

  In the examination room, Xu Youning was lying on the hospital bed. She answered several questions from the doctor and constantly took all kinds of examinations.

  She did not know if it was her illusion that she took some examinations twice.

  After a long time, the attending doctor finally said, “Okay, it’s over. Send Ms. Xu to the ward.”


  “Send me to the ward?”


  Xu Youning suddenly sat up, looked at the doctor, and asked, “Doctor, why do you send me to the ward?” Generally, after the checkup, shouldn’t she go to the office and wait for the result?

  The doctor glanced at Xu Youning and seemed to say with a sigh, “Ms. Xu, I’ll explain it to you later. The nurse will first take you to the ward.”


  Xu Youning remembered the result of the checkup Doctor Liu had done for her and suddenly had a bad feeling. She clutched at the doctor’s sleeve and asked, “Doctor, is there anything wrong with my child? Answer me, doctor……”


  “Ms. Xu, please calm down.” Then, the doctor said to the nurse, “Come on, send Ms. Xu to the ward.”


  “Doctor!”


  Xu Youning still wanted to get an answer, but the nurse had already pushed her out.

  At this moment, Xu Youning probably felt the strongest sense of helplessness in Xu Youning’s life.

  However, she had no one to rely on.

  At this time, Mu Sijue was still waiting outside.

  After Xu Youning went in, Mu Sijue did not unclench his fist. Looking at the red light above the door of the examination room, he seemed to be shrouded by the net of a bad feeling, and he felt as if something was about to explode and burst out of his heart.

  After almost half a century, the door of the examination room was finally opened, and Xu Youning had already worn a hospital gown and was pushed out of the ward.

  After the last checkup, Xu Youning walked out.

  This time, why was she wearing a hospital gown and even lying on the hospital bed?

  Mu Sijue felt as if his heart was lifted by someone. He subconsciously walked to the attending doctor and asked, “How is Xu Youning?”


  At this moment, Mu Sijue completely forgot about the child, and he was only worried about Xu Youning.

  The doctor took off her surgical mask and motioned for Mu Sijue to rest assured. “Ms. Xu is fine. Mr. Mu, let’s talk in the ward.”


  Mu Sijue’s heart slowly returned to its original position. It was also at this time that he realized that if Xu Youning was fine, then…… the child was not okay.

  He glanced at Xu Youning, who seemed to be in a daze, with empty eyes and no expression on her face.

  After entering the ward, all the medical staff except the attending doctor left.

  The attending doctor sighed and looked very serious. “Mr. Mu, we found that Ms. Xu’s child has no vital signs.”


  “.……”


  That was the second time that Xu Youning had heard this sentence.

  “Boom!” It was as if a hammer had slammed into her world. In an instant, her world broke into pieces.

  In the end, the hammer landed on her heart, shattering it and also enveloping it. She could not breathe, nor could she feel her own heartbeat.

  This feeling was even worse than being close to death.

  A heavy and deathly silence enveloped the entire ward.

  After an unknown period of time, Mu Sijue said, “What happened?”


  “Well……” said the doctor hesitantly, “we can’t determine the specific reason. However, Ms. Xu’s case…… seems to be caused by drugs.”


  “No, it was not like that!”


  Xu Youning knew clearly that she had not taken any drugs at all. The fact that the child had no vital signs of life was definitely not caused by drugs!

  However, she could not refute the doctor’s words. Instead, she could only silently feel that the atmosphere in the ward become even a little heavier.

  “Did you make any mistakes during the checkup?” Mu Sijue’s voice was as tight as a fully pulled bow, and it could be told that he was trying his best to restrain his anger. He said word by word, “redo all the examinations.”


  “Mr. Mu, we understand your feelings.” The doctor paused for a moment before continuing, “But we have just done the checkup twice. Ms. Xu’s child…… is indeed lifeless. A second checkup is not necessary.”


  In an instant, the ward was as cold as if it were snowing.

  Behind Mu Sijue stood a chest of drawers.

  Upon hearing this, he slammed his fist into it fiercely. “Bang—” A hole appeared on its door.

  The sudden sound shocked the doctor. After she came to her senses, she subconsciously looked at Mu Sijue and unexpectedly saw that Mu Sijue’s hand was cut by splinters and covered with blood.

  The doctor could not help reminding, “Mr. Mu, your hand……”


  Before the doctor finished her words, Mu Sijue had turned around and left the ward.

  Xu Youning had no time to care about Mu Sijue, and she closed her eyes directly.

  Needless to look at Mu Sijue, she could imagine how gloomy he looked. Her mood was no better than Mu Sijue’s.

  The doctor hesitated for a moment, but still dared not stop Mu Sijue, so she said to Xu Youning, “Ms. Xu, through the checkup, we found that you’re not well enough. So, we suggest that you get rid of the child as soon as possible and improve your health. In fact, you and Mr. Mu are still very young. As long as you take care of yourself, you still have a lot of opportunities.”


  Xu Youning opened her eyes and asked, “Doctor, are you sure that my child…… really has no vital signs?”


  The doctor nodded. “Ms. Xu, we are very sure.”


  “What about the last checkup?” Xu Youning almost threw herself at the doctor and asked further, “How did you determine that my child was very healthy last time? Please do this checkup the way you did last time, okay?”


  Xu Youning did not care about anything but her child. She just wanted her child to be healthy. She just wanted an answer that she could accept.

  “Well……” said the doctor helplessly, “Ms. Xu, a person’s body varies as the time goes. In this checkup, your situation has changed. We can’t get the same result as we did last time.”


  “Can you do something?” Xu Youning grabbed the doctor’s white gown and pleaded, “Please, save my child, my child……”


  Xu Youning wanted to tell the doctor that her child should still have vital signs. Just like the last checkup, Doctor Liu had clearly found that the child had no vital signs, but later, the doctor here determined that the child was healthy.

  It must be the activities of the blood clot in her brain that affected the result of this checkup.

  However, in this way, her illness could not be concealed.

  The doctor knew what Xu Youning wanted to say, and she shook her head and said, “Ms. Xu, we are very sure that the child can’t come to this world anymore. No miracle will happen.”


  “No, it’s not like that. I have a special problem!” Then, Xu Youning pleaded, “Doctor, listen to me!”


  The doctor said, “Miss Xu, it’s useless. The medicine has taken the child’s life. For the sake of your future, you should get rid of the child as soon as possible.”


  Right at this moment, with a “bang” sound, Mu Sijue pushed the door open. He came in and ordered the doctor, “Get out of here!”
