Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1787: Chapter 1767:

”No, what do you mean? What do you mean there won’t be children? Is it what I think it is?” Lin Jiayou looked at Luo Qianqian in shock and asked, confused.

Luo Qianqian bit her lower lip and lowered her head. After a long while, she said sullenly, ”The injuries on her body might be no less severe than Nianan’s mother, probably needing to have her wounds re-treated. They’ve already completely rotted and festered. It’s a wonder you didn’t notice.”

Lin Jiayou stood there, completely stunned, unable to believe it.

He had no idea at all.

And with such severe injuries, she managed to keep going without saying a word? Is she even a woman? More like a superhero!

Lin Jiayou stumbled and rushed into the room.

Luo Qianqian sniffed: ”Nuannuan, ask Big Brother Qin to come over, I can’t handle this.”

Qin Nuan quickly nodded and went to contact him. Listening to the sobbing in Luo Qianqian’s voice, she sensed that something was seriously wrong. It wouldn’t be simple, otherwise why would Qian Xi react like this?

After all, Luo Yanhai was seriously injured once, let alone Luo Shufan who had been on the brink of death. She had cried bitterly for them, but they were her family.

This Cong Ying, however, was just a friend or perhaps a passerby. Why would Luo Qianqian react like this? Surely the injury was beyond their imagination, but Qin Nuan really didn’t have the courage to see it.

When Lin Jiayou entered the room, he was immediately hit by the strong smell of alcohol, clearly used by Luo Qianqian to disinfect the wound. At that moment, with the body cleaned and the strange scent of incense he had been aware of gone, replaced by a fresh grass scent—though it was too overpowering to smell anything else.

With that scent gone, the strong smell of blood and decay hit his nostrils clearly, making his legs tremble involuntarily.

On the floor next to him, there were yellow-stained blood traces, clearly signs of an infected wound. The pile of cloth strips showed the incredible effort Cong Ying made to hide this matter.

It’s a wonder... she hadn’t collapsed suddenly.

”Do you have any anti-inflammatory drugs? Crush them into powder and apply it to the wound and see?” Luo Qianqian was anxious, as the wound had been there for a long time, and they needed to suppress the worsening condition before Qin Liang arrived to facilitate surgery.

”The sterile environment is also a concern, it simply can’t be provided.” Qin Nuan also looked anxious: ”Isn’t her survival rate very low in this condition during surgery?”

”It’s not a problem. I’ll use a Water Isolation Barrier, but after the surgery, I have to take care of Nianan, I can’t stay here long.” Luo Qianqian seemed to have an idea, and said immediately without hesitation.

He Wenyu frowned: ”But that’s not the only issue, what about the need for a blood transfusion? I suddenly smelled a strong scent of blood.” She looked at the room with the open door, her face filled with unease.

Luo Qianqian frowned tightly too. They hadn’t thought about so many things, but taking Cong Ying to the modern world was impossible.

Only she and Tang Guo could freely pass through there.

Once she left the academy, she’d be expelled.

Cong Ying... it seemed she wasn’t worth the risk, but she would try her best to save her, she wouldn’t let a life, at such a young age, fall.

”I have anti-inflammatory drugs.” Qin Nuan wasn’t idle either, in such a situation, she really didn’t want to see anyone die.

Though they weren’t close, she was still considered a friend, right?

At least getting Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu’s recognition meant she was trustworthy.

”What about other things? Like iodine or something? Is it needed?” Luo Yanran felt strangely heartache.

A girl, with such serious injuries, stood her ground. If this happened to Luo Qianqian or Qin Nuan, he wouldn’t have managed to care. He would’ve broken down on his own, unable to cope.

Thinking back, it was thanks to Luo Qianqian insisting on taking Luo Shufan back that things didn’t get worse. Otherwise, she might not have been as lively now.

The loss of a loved one is truly something one can’t easily accept.

”I used alcohol to disinfect, but you know, this cut nearly went through the body. Not cleaning and stitching the decaying flesh could cause future problems, even if treated, it can’t restore to its original state. We’re not in an era with advanced medical conditions.” Luo Qianqian looked at Luo Yanran, calmer than before: ”I thought about the elixir, but since I’m not a professional, when I go back I’ll ask Mo. I doubt there’ll be much hope.”

Though she hadn’t looked closely, its location confirmed her guess, and the degree of infection and decay exceeded her tolerance.

The injured area would enlarge during childbirth; such a severe injury might prevent childbirth.

If with Lin Jiayou, it might be fine, after all... doesn’t Lin Jiayou already have a child?

Lin Jiayou is different from the Luo Family, they are devoted, wouldn’t consider finding someone to cause emotional harm to their destined other half.

Moreover, Lin Jiayou’s previous partner had already passed, leaving only a weak child.

”Not having children is fine, childbirth isn’t something ordinary people can withstand.” Qin Nuan had a face of discomfort as if recalling the hardship of giving birth: ”Not only hard to eat and sleep, but extremely painful. Occasionally, seeing the belly gave a sense of mission, but seeing those two noisy little bunnies often makes me regret...” Qin Nuan half-joked, with bitterness in her voice.

Though the children rarely breastfed, they did occasionally, about three times a week. Thus, to them, Qin Nuan was the delicacy, better than a bottle. That’s why she went out to wean them off.

”Fourth Sister-in-Law, Fourth Brother is almost in tears just standing there.” Luo Qianqian looked at Luo Yanran, seeing the heartache and sorrow on his face as expected.

If he could bear it for Qin Nuan, he would willingly.

But it was impossible, he couldn’t say such words, feeling they were just empty promises.

Qin Nuan turned, seeing Luo Yanran’s expression, and smiled: ”However, having your child, I still feel happier and you shouldn’t overthink, I’m just complaining lightly.”

”I know, I feel for you and don’t want you to suffer, we won’t have any more kids.” Luo Yanran said firmly.

”Mm.”

In the courtyard, they held each other, surrounded by a warm marital bliss.

Only, inside the house, Lin Jiayou was kneeling on the ground, silently shedding tears, at a loss, not knowing what he should do, unsure of the correct response, his mind completely blank, unable to think.
