“Madam, we will immediately carry out resuscitation for the child and transfer him to the pediatric unit. Don’t worry too much! The child will survive—”


  “No.” Qiao Jiuyin interrupted the midwife.

  The midwife was stunned.

  The doctor, who was suturing Qiao Jiuyin’s wound, paused as well.

  They all looked at Qiao Jiuyin in surprise.

  There was disbelief in their eyes.

  Qiao Jiuyin did not care about her life and death and wanted to give birth to two children. Now, if the other child was saved in time, he could still live, but she chose not to…


  They looked at Qiao Jiuyin with complicated expressions.

  Qiao Jiuyin’s eyes were slightly red. Her eyes held grief, but also ruthlessness.

  The two emotions intertwined, making her seem a little fierce and treacherous.

  After making up her mind, Qiao Jiuyin looked up at the doctor and said to him in a cold tone, “This child was born dead because of an untimely rescue.”


  Everyone remained silent, feeling stunned.

  Taking a deep breath, Qiao Jiuyin looked into the doctor’s eyes again and said in a ruthless tone, “This child was a stillborn, right, Doctor?”


  The doctor said nothing.

  The two midwives remained silent.

  Qiao Jiuyin clenched her fists and endured the pain in her body. She roared, “Doctor, he was born dead, right?”


  The doctor hesitated for a long time before nodding with difficulty.

  “Yes.”


  He could have saved the child, but now, he was an executioner.

  Soon, the door to the operating theater opened.

  The midwife stepped out.

  The family members beside the door stood up and surrounded the midwife.

  Fang Mu nervously asked the midwife, “Nurse, how’s the situation inside?”


  The midwife thought of what had happened inside and felt a little guilty. She looked at Fang Mu and said in a heavy tone, “Mr. Fang, the surgery is over. Madam’s condition is fine. It’s just that the children…”


  Facing everyone’s expectant and nervous gazes, she felt like a shark’s fin was stuck in her throat.

  She closed her eyes and opened them again. Then, she said, “Because the delivery was not timely, one child was seriously hypoxic and was stillborn. However, the other child is fine. He was also lacking in oxygen and had to be transferred to the Intensive Care Pediatrics Hospital.”


  When Fang Mu heard this, he was stunned. His heart ached.

  Stillborn…


  The others looked at each other with grief in their eyes.

  Another two hours passed before Qiao Jiuyin was finally pushed out of the operating room. Her face was as pale as wax.

  The moment Qiao Jiuyin saw Fang Mu and Fang Pingjue, she, who was supposed to be lifeless, suddenly reached out and grabbed Fang Mu’s hand. She cried. “Brother Mu, our child…” The moment she spoke, tears gushed out of her eyes.

  Fang Mu looked at her with mixed feelings and guilt.

  If he had not messed around outside, Qiao Jiuyin would not have to prematurely give birth; his child would not have died.

  “Brother Mu, Dad, Aunt Xu, I’m sorry. I didn’t protect the children.” Qiao Jiuyin took the initiative to show weakness and did not mention Hu Yao’s mistake.

  Fang Mu and Fang Pingjue could not bear to see her like this. Fang Mu consoled her, “This is not your fault. Don’t blame yourself.” Xu Pingfei also comforted Qiao Jiuyin.

  Qiao Jiuyin cried non-stop.

  Wei Xin coldly looked on, her heart turning cold.
