Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 2157: Chapter 2157: Sacrificing the Mother for the Child

She cooperatively extended her wrist—

Jian Yufei, following Hua Zhongsheng’s instructions, took out what he needed from the medicine box and prepared it for him.

Nangong Xu personally placed a pulse pillow under Nangong Ruyue’s wrist.

Hua Zhongsheng wiped his hands with a damp towel before groping and placing his fingers on her radial artery.

No one dared to make a sound, even breathing cautiously, fearing that Hua Zhongsheng might not take the pulse accurately.

......

Hua Zhongsheng spent ten full minutes feeling the pulse before withdrawing his hand.

”Mr. Hua, did you diagnose anything?” Nangong Xu asked.

Hua Zhongsheng said in a deep voice, ”Madam Nangong’s body is fine, just a bit weak and lacking in energy and blood. The problem lies with the child in her womb. If I diagnosed correctly, there might be some issues with the child’s development.”

Jian Yufei was stunned—

So it wasn’t the mother who was sick; it was her unborn child who had problems.

No wonder Nangong Xu kept the news tightly sealed and didn’t reveal anything.

If others in the family knew the child had problems, they might have other thoughts.

Nangong Xu immediately looked at Hua Zhongsheng with a new-found respect.

”Mr. Hua, do you have a way to cure this child?”

”That would be difficult.”

”No matter the cost, I am willing to pay it!” Nangong Xu declared solemnly.

Hua Zhongsheng, however, brought up another matter, ”Has Madam Nangong been undergoing treatment all along?”

”That’s right. Recently, I found a good Divine Doctor. He claimed he could cure this child, so we’ve been following his treatment plan.”

”Has Madam Nangong used any special medications?”

”Would red snow lotus count?”

The red snow lotus had indeed been used up.

Jian Yufei felt no regret at all, as long as it was beneficial to the mother after consumption.

Hua Zhongsheng suddenly sneered and cryptically remarked, ”That man truly has an evil heart.”

Nangong Xu’s eyes turned icy cold, ”What do you mean by that, Mr. Hua?”

”His method might cure the child, but it compromises the mother’s body. But he’s clever, using red snow lotus to maintain the mother’s basic health. However, to be blunt, red snow lotus is not a miracle cure, and even if the child is cured, the mother will still be in grave danger during childbirth.”

Everyone’s expression changed abruptly, including Jian Yufei’s.

Nangong Xu emanated a murderous aura—

”Is what you said, Mr. Hua, true?”

”You can observe for a while to determine.”

No need to observe.

Recently, Nangong Ruyue had been increasingly sleepy, as if her health was deteriorating.

The Ghost Doctor explained to him that it was the effect of the medication that made her drowsy.

He wasn’t a doctor, didn’t understand these things, and naturally believed whatever the Ghost Doctor said.

Moreover, he was too arrogant, believing the Ghost Doctor wouldn’t dare play tricks in front of him, which is why he trusted him.

Yet, he never thought that the man truly had no fear of death!

Hua Zhongsheng added, ”Actually, that man’s medical skills are indeed superb; he just loves quick results too much. To achieve his goals, he disregards everything, even resorting to sinister methods. But he’s also cunning; his treatment method for Madam Nangong leaves no trace. Even if Madam Nangong died during childbirth, it would only be concluded that she died of dystocia, and nothing else. You’re fortunate to have met me this time, or your wife would have been harmed by him.”

Nangong Xu is a man of cold-blooded cruelty.

The Ghost Doctor dared to treat Nangong Ruyue like that, so naturally, Nangong Xu wouldn’t let him live.
