If the child was still alive, Xu Youning had to hold her breath every day.

After all, there was an erratic bomb in her body that could explode at any time and take her life.

If the child was still alive, they would probably die together anytime.

If the child had no vital signs, then she would have no expectations for her future life.

Even if she could survive after getting her revenge, where could she go?

Could she go back to City G and tell Mu Sijue that she knew that Kang Ruicheng was the murderer of her grandma but she did not tell him the truth and even killed their child, and that she was also about to die?

She was already in the abyss of pain. How could she bear to drag Mu Sijue down?

However, if there was no Mu Sijue in her future, she would prefer the explosion of the bomb in her brain after getting her revenge.

In this way, Mu Sijue would never know the truth, and he would only hate her and not have to suffer the pain she had experienced.

“Auntie Youning,” Mumu suddenly asked, “are you going to cry?”

Xu Youning came to her senses and looked at Mumu with a smile. “Why do you think I’m going to cry?”

Mumu held his chin and looked as if he understood. “When I’m very sad and want to cry, I would wear the same look as you’re wearing now.”

“…” For a moment, Xu Youning was speechless.

Mumu thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, “Auntie Youning, are you missing Uncle Mu?”

Xu Youning subconsciously looked at the driver, who was focused on driving. He should not have heard Mumu’s words.

She dragged down the baffle between the front and back seats and forcefully divided the carriage into two worlds.

Mumu’s clear eyes were full of doubts. “Auntie Youning, what’s wrong?”

Xu Youning shushed him with a forefinger to her lips and said, “Mumu, have you forgotten that your daddy doesn’t like your mentioning Uncle Mu?”

Mumu was stunned for a moment. Then, he let out a sigh of relief and put on a fearless expression. “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Daddy isn’t here. He can’t hear us!”

Xu Youning did not know what to say. Was it really good for him to pretend to be obedient at such a young age?

Mumu compressed his lips and induced Xu Youning to be frank. “Auntie Youning, tell me the truth. I’ll keep it a secret for you!”

Xu Youning touched the little boy’s head and said, “I’m not missing Uncle Mu.”

Mumu put on a look of disbelief and asked further, “Then what are you thinking about?”

“Even if I tell you about it, you’re still too young to understand.” Xu Youning rubbed his hair. “You’ll understand when you grow up.”

Mumu did not quite understand, and obediently replied with an “oh”.

After arriving at the hospital, Xu Youning did not go in through the front door. Instead, she entered the hospital through a side door mainly for cars and went straight to Doctor Liu.

As soon as Kang Ruicheng released her, Doctor Liu returned to work at the hospital.

She was a little surprised that Xu Youning came to the hospital so soon. She looked at Xu Youning and did not know what to say for a long time.

Perhaps, when she treated Xu Youning for the first time, she shouldn’t have helped her keep the child’s condition a secret.

However, in addition to being a doctor, she was also a mother. She could not resist the idea of helping Xu Youning who was about to be a mother. After all, the man surnamed Kang seemed difficult to deal with.

Of course, she was sure that Xu Youning was also difficult to deal with. If she did not agree at that time, Xu Youning had other ways to force her to agree.

In short, she was in big trouble.

The reason why she chose to help Xu Youning was that Xu Youning seemed to be willing to let her go.

If she chose Kang Ruicheng, she would only end up dead.

Xu Youning let go of Mumu’s hand and said, “Could you please go out with the gentleman?”

“Uh-huh, no!” Mumu looked reluctant. “I want to stay with you.”

Xu Youning patiently explained to the little boy, “I’m going to have a checkup. You’re a boy, and it’s not convenient for you to stay here.”

“Really? Okay.”

Mumu tilted his head, and seeing that Xu Youning did not deny it, he ran out with his daddy’s man.

Looking at the little boy’s cute look, Xu Youning could not help smiling, which made her look much gentler.

Doctor Liu said, “It seems that you really like children. No wonder you don’t want to get rid of the child in your belly.”

Xu Youning looked at Dr. Liu and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to get rid of the child, but that I can’t.”

“Why?” Doctor Liu was confused. “Miss Xu, keeping this child is harmful to your illness.”

“My child is still alive.” Xu Youning stared into Doctor Liu’s eyes. “After leaving here last time, I went to another hospital for a checkup. The doctor there told me that my child was still alive and very healthy.”

“Impossible!” Doctor Liu was shocked. “What’s going on?”

Xu Youning asked coldly and sharply, “I should be the one asking you this question! My child is fine, but why did you tell me that he had no vital signs and persuade me to get rid of him!?”

Doctor Liu was stunned and soon understood what Xu Youning was suspecting. Her face suddenly turned pale.

She quickly explained, “Miss Xu, please believe me. I never lied to you under Mr. Kang’s order. The result of your first checkup indeed showed that the child had no vital signs.”

“I believe you,” Xu Youning said, “and if I didn’t believe you, you would have died.”

Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief. She still felt it strange and asked, “Where did you go for that checkup? Can you show me the result?”

“I went to a private hospital. The doctor just told me the result and didn’t give me the specific checkup report,” Xu Youning said, “but I’m sure that the doctor there wouldn’t lie to me.”

At that time, Mu Sijue personally took her to do the checkup.

No matter how bold the doctors in the private hospital were, they would never dare to lie to Mu Sijue.

Doctor Liu finally understood. “So yesterday, you deliberately told Mr. Kang a lie that once the child is removed, it will affect your illness, right?”

“I want this child. Only in this way can I keep my child,” Xu Youning said word by word, “and if my child is still alive, I hope he can come to this world.”

“But…”

Doctor Liu looked at Xu Youning worriedly.

Even if the child could come to this world successfully, Xu Youning would not be able to survive.

Once Xu Youning’s belly grew larger, their secret would be exposed.

Even if the child could come to this world successfully, how could she deal with the child after it was born?

She was a doctor in the department of gynaecology and obstetrics. At the thought of the newborn child, she would be softhearted.

Xu Youning took the pen and paper on Doctor Liu’s table and wrote down a series of numbers, as well as the character of “Mu” below. “I don’t know what will happen in the future. But if my child can come to this world, please help me contact this person.”

“Mu?” Doctor Liu was a little confused. “Miss Xu, who is he?”

“The child’s father,” Xu Youning said, “and he loves the child very much. As long as you tell him that Xu Youning’s child is still alive, he will definitely come to take the child away and keep you safe.”

Doctor Liu could not help asking curiously, “What is he like?”

“He’s even more terrifying than Kang Ruicheng. But he’s a good person. He won’t kill innocent people as Kang Ruicheng does,” Xu Youning said, “and Doctor Liu, you’ve already gotten involved in our affairs. Believe me, standing on our side, you’ll be more likely to survive than standing on Kang Ruicheng’s side.”

Doctor Liu laughed bitterly. “I can’t extricate oneself from the affairs, can I?”

Xu Youning did not say yes or no. “You can say that.”

“Anyway, I’m more interested in whether the child is still alive. I made a careful checkup last time, and the child clearly had no vital signs,” Dr. Liu said, “so, Miss Xu, please come with me for a checkup.”

Xu Youning nodded and left the office with Doctor Liu for the checkup room.

Soon, the result came out.

It was incomprehensible to Xu Youning, so she could only stare at Doctor Liu and wait for her to explain.

She prayed to God for the survival of her child.

After a long while, Doctor Liu slowly looked up at Xu Youning and said, “Miss Xu, it’s incredible.”

Xu Youning seemed to see the dawn of hope, and her eyes lit up. “Doctor Liu, my child is still alive, right?”

Doctor Liu put down the checkup report. “Now it seems that the child still has vital signs. Although it is very faint, the child is indeed alive. The reason why the first result showed that the child had no vital signs is because of the influence from the blood clot in your brain.”

Xu Youning’s guess was right. Her child was alive all the time. It was all because of that blood clot that the result was wrong!

Fortunately, she insisted that the child should have a look at Mu Sijue and did not listen to the doctor to get rid of her child.

Otherwise, she would have truly killed her child with her own hands. Even if she sacrificed herself later, she would still not be able to save her child.

Her child was still alive, which was the greatest blessing God bestowed upon her.

When leaving Mu Sijue, Xu Youning held back her tears.

But at this moment, she could not resist the idea of crying.

She had no one around her to talk to, and only tears could give full vent to the great joy in her heart.

In ecstasy, Xu Youning suddenly remembered one thing. “Doctor Liu, I also did a checkup yesterday morning, and it showed that the child had no vital signs because of Mifepristone & Misoprostol. What’s going on?”

Doctor Liu looked at the report and images carefully, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “It’s because of that blood clot! Really, when the blood clot moves, it will affect the checkup result which will show that you took some medicine for abortion. As for the reason why this result is different from that one yesterday, I can only say that it’s a coincidence. The blood clot in your brain is too unstable. Not to mention the next day, the result may be different next minute.”

Xu Youning did not know whether to cry or laugh either.

What Doctor Liu meant was that her pregnancy checkup results could change at any time. No one could be sure when the child was determined to be very healthy or have no vital signs by the results.

Coincidentally, after Mu Sijue misunderstood her yesterday, the blood clot affected the checkup result. The private hospital did not know her illness and only found that the child had no vital signs and further told Mu Sijue that it seemed to be caused by drugs.

Then, she naturally lied to Mu Sijue, escaped from him, and came back to save Auntie Tang.

It was the day of destiny.

She was destined to be separated from Mu Sijue.

Now, Xu Youning only hoped that she could live until the day when her child was born. Since Mu Sijue liked the child so much, he would definitely take their child away.

Even if she died accidentally, for the sake of the child, Mu Sijue would definitely live on.

As long as Mu Sijue and the child could survive, she would have no regrets. When she saw her grandmother, she could also give an explanation.

Her child had gone through so many hardships with her. At this moment, she just wanted to pray to God that her child would come to this world, even if it required her to sacrifice her life.
