Chapter 1855: Stillbirth
Shortly after the sedan chair entered Chen’s Clinic, a woman’s scream erupted from inside. “All of you get out! My child is still alive. Do you hear me? He’s still alive! If any of you so much as lay a finger on him, I swear I will never let you go!”
Xi Yue was taken aback, and her gaze instinctively shifted toward the door next to her.
From the tone of the woman’s voice, Xi Yue could tell she was frail and lacking in vitality. It appeared she was just an ordinary mortal, with no trace of spiritual power in her body.
But this was strange. She had never encountered a mortal before, not once in all her time on the Siam Continent.
Even if her natural abilities were weak, she should at least be at the Qi Refining Stage, right?
In the next moment, a disheveled woman ran out of the clinic, clutching her belly protectively as she ran.
Her belly was noticeably big, indicating that she was at least several months pregnant.
The woman, who must have once been exceptionally beautiful, now appeared worn out and haggard. Her pregnancy had left her body puffy. With dark circles under her eyes, she looked utterly exhausted.
Moments later, people rushed out of the clinic, swiftly catching up to the woman by leaping through the air.
But then, the woman suddenly drew a dagger and pressed it to her neck, shouting, “Stay back! If anyone comes any closer, I’ll end myself right here in front of you!”
The Void Darkness Stage cultivator Xi Yue had just encountered was filled with anguish. He wanted to move closer but was afraid the woman might hurt herself. “Yun, please don’t do this. We can have more children in the future, but I can’t bear to lose you!”
Tears streamed down the woman’s face, her expression filled with despair. “If my child dies, I won’t live either. Don’t come any closer, or you’ll be collecting our dead bodies!”
After saying that, the woman stumbled and ran outside.
The man stood there in shock for a moment before erupting in fury. “What are you waiting for? Go after her! If anything happens to her, none of you will live to see another day!”
The group quickly dispersed, but soon another crowd had gathered in front of Chen’s Clinic.
Xi Yue could hear the crowd murmuring with scattered discussions.
“Who were those people just now? They had an impressive aura about them, and their clothing looked extremely luxurious.”
“I have no idea, but what good is all that luxury? I heard the woman is carrying a stillborn, and there’s no way she can deliver the baby.”
“By the way, I noticed that the woman had no spiritual power at all. Could she be a mere mortal? But that man is powerful, so why would he marry someone so lowly?”
After a while, the crowd’s chatter died down, and they began to disperse. However, Xi Yue remained deep in thought.
She noticed the woman’s complexion earlier—it did seem like her pregnancy wasn’t going well. The shape of her belly suggested the baby might not be in the right position. However, she’d need to examine her further to know for sure.
After pondering for a moment, Xi Yue decided to put these thoughts aside.
However, she never expected that later in the afternoon, Uncle An would return from his errands carrying an unconscious pregnant woman.
Xi Yue was stunned when she saw the woman. Isn’t this the pregnant woman who had fled from Chen’s Clinic earlier this morning?
With a sigh, Uncle An explained, “I took Junjun to buy cultivation pills. On our way back, we came across this woman. I didn’t know who she was, but when she saw Junjun, she smiled and then clung to my hand, begging me to save her child.”
Junjun’s face was flushed from a day of running around. He looked at the woman with sympathy, then hurried over to Xi Yue, tugging on her sleeve. “Brother Xi Yue, the woman is so pitiful. She has a big belly. But it seems like her baby is in trouble. Can you save them?”
