In his ears, was the occasional beeping of the machine.

Ye Mingmei was quietly sleeping, her delicate face appearing pale.

Her long lashes rested on her eyelids.

There wasn’t a hint of color on her lips.

He despised frail women, yet at this moment, watching Ye Mingmei, his heart unexpectedly ached.

Yu Xiuzhun was about to reach out to touch her face when the ward door was suddenly pushed open.

The doctor respectfully walked up to Yu Xiuzhun.

"Mr. Yu, the test results are out." The doctor glanced at Yu Xiuzhun, hesitating to speak.

"Speak." Yu Xiuzhun lowered his voice, the sharp aura around him was still intimidating.

The doctor hurriedly lowered his head, "Miss Ye has been pregnant for over a month, but due to poor sleep and excessive stress, she has shown signs of a threatened miscarriage."

"...What did you say?"

Yu Xiuzhun was startled, a strange tremor swept through his body.

He stared at the doctor with wide eyes in shock, "Say that again, what happened to her?"

"Miss Ye is pregnant."

"Pregnant..."

Yu Xiuzhun’s eyes sharpened, and he leaned against the bed, his thin lips moving slightly, murmuring to himself.

He kept repeating those words, as if unable to understand.

Once he realized, he took a few steps forward, suddenly grabbing the doctor’s collar and lifting him up.

"I want this child! Find a way to keep this child! If anything happens to my child, I’ll make sure you pay with your life!"

"Yes, yes, I’ll do my best, the child is currently fine..."

Facing Yu Xiuzhun’s intimidating gaze, the doctor stuttered nervously.

"Bang—"

Yu Xiuzhun released his grip, throwing the doctor away.

"Fine, but somehow there’s bleeding?"

"Please calm down, Mr. Yu! Miss Ye’s condition is due to excessive stress, insomnia, anxiety. The fetus is not yet three months old, relying mainly on the mother’s nutrition for survival, so the mother’s condition directly affects the child."

The doctor hurriedly got up, bowing respectfully, "Miss Ye’s condition isn’t severe. As long as she rests in bed these days, the bleeding will improve. With dietary adjustments thereafter, there shouldn’t be major issues."

"Then go arrange it immediately!" Yu Xiuzhun’s face darkened.

"Yes, Mr. Yu."

The doctor let out a long breath, cautiously retreating.

"Wait a minute!"

Yu Xiuzhun’s eyes flashed, suddenly speaking, "Keep her pregnancy a secret for now, don’t let anyone know."

"Mr. Yu’s meaning is, even Miss Ye..." The doctor stopped mid-sentence as Yu Xiuzhun shot him a fierce glare, "I understand, I understand, I’ll make sure no word gets out."

After repeatedly assuring, the doctor scrambled out of the ward.

The room fell silent in an instant.

Yu Xiuzhun stood rigidly for a long while before slowly turning around, walking to Ye Mingmei’s side.

He looked down at her peaceful sleeping face, his gaze involuntarily shifting to her abdomen.

The quilt gently covered it, showing no hint of a curve. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

There, was his child.

Yu Xiuzhun slowly lifted his hand, and as it touched her stomach, his fingertips tingled.

Though he knew an embryo just over a month old wouldn’t respond to him, he still felt he had touched something.

An unspeakable thrill coursed through his veins.

She is pregnant.

He has a child.

His child, Yu Xiuzhun’s!

The devilish eyes erupted with a joyful light, impossible to conceal.
