Ye Mingmei suddenly sat up, grabbing Qin Youxuan’s hand, her eyes turning panicked.

"You found him, didn’t you? He’s okay, right? Where is he? I want to see him..."

After speaking, Ye Mingmei lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed.

"Mingmei, calm down, listen to me..."

"I don’t want to listen! I don’t want to hear anything!" Ye Mingmei, agitated, covered her ears, desperately wanting to find Yu Xiuzhun, "I know he’s okay, he’s right next door, it must be like that..."

"Mingmei, by the time we got there, it was already too late..." Qin Youxuan hadn’t finished her words when Ye Mingmei covered her mouth.

Her hands were strong, even trembling.

Her eyes showed a desperate red, her lips quivering, "Don’t say it, I beg you, don’t say it, I know he’s okay, he must be okay... He promised me he would change, start over, Heaven won’t deny him a chance..."

"Yu Xiuzhun has done too many evil deeds, his end is well-deserved, no one else is to blame." Su Yiru clasped Ye Mingmei’s hand and pulled her over.

"I told you long ago to keep your distance from him, why didn’t you listen to your mother? With someone like him, you have no future!"

"..."

Ye Mingmei shook violently, a glimmer of light passing through her eyes.

Yes, they were destined to have no future.

Why did she give Yu Xiuzhun hope?

If not for her, he wouldn’t have risked coming back; had it not been to save her, he could have left long ago...

Tears welled up in Ye Mingmei’s eyes, her frail body curling up, biting her lip to stop herself from crying out.

A sharp pain in her stomach suddenly reminded her of something.

"The baby, what about my baby?!"

"The baby is fine, just a minor bleed, the bleeding has stopped now. Rest for a few days, and the baby will be fine." Qin Youxuan frowned, opened her mouth as if to say more, but seeing Ye Mingmei’s agitated state, she awkwardly stopped.

"I’m fine, I have to take good care of the baby. Yu Xiuzhun said he would definitely come back for us... he wouldn’t lie to me..."

Ye Mingmei murmured to herself, ignoring Su Yiru and Qin Youxuan beside her. She lay back on the bed, pulling the quilt over her chest.

Closing her eyes, she forced herself to rest.

Qin Youxuan and Su Yiru exchanged a glance without speaking, then turned and left the ward.

"Is Mingmei awake? How is she?"

Jin Chenye got up from the chair in the corridor when he saw Qin Youxuan walking towards him.

"The situation isn’t good. It seems like she doesn’t want to face anything about Yu Xiuzhun, doesn’t listen to reason, and is steadfast in her belief that Yu Xiuzhun will come back for her, but Yu Xiuzhun is already..."

Qin Youxuan let out a long sigh before continuing.

"And there’s the baby in her belly. The doctor says she’s almost three months along. Mingmei has been hiding it from us. She wants the baby, but the baby’s father is Yu Xiuzhun. Delaying any longer might make it hard to handle."

"This baby absolutely cannot stay, I will not agree!" Su Yiru suddenly spoke, her tone firm.

Regardless of who the baby’s father is, given the current situation, if Ye Mingmei keeps this baby, her life will be ruined!

"It’s still a life, after all, I think you need to consider Mingmei’s feelings. With Yu Xiuzhun gone, the baby might be Mingmei’s only source of comfort."
