She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1253: Chapter 1323: Saving the Child

”Believe it or not, it’s up to you,” Sheng Ning sneered.

Julian put away his smile and asked seriously, ”Can you really do it?”

”Of course.” The recent struggle with the doctor had drained her of energy, and now her stomach hurt like it was being pricked with needles.

”But your child is really in danger.”

”I’ll help you make a lot of money,” Sheng Ning said through her pain, her face as pale as a ghost.

Julian was startled and took several steps back.

”If the child can’t be saved, I won’t live either, and by then you’ll get nothing.” She gritted her teeth and said fiercely.

”Bad luck,” Julian cursed angrily. ”I agree to this deal, but you’d better behave. If you can’t make a lot of money, I’ll sell your child too.”

Thinking this way made him feel a lot more comfortable.

How did he not think of it earlier? If the child is born, that’s also income. Women are valuable, and so are children!

”Hahaha...” Julian left triumphantly, instructing Bill before he left to ensure the child was kept safe.

Bill held a syringe in his hand, looking helpless. With signs of a potential miscarriage, how could the child be saved? Unless the best and latest fertility medicine was used, but that was very expensive.

Sheng Ning’s frail body curled tightly into a ball. Even though she had dealt with Julian, she didn’t relax, because it was the doctor in front of her who was crucial. She discreetly took a watch from where she was sitting and handed it to Bill, her hands clasped together in a continuous gesture of pleading.

Her originally pale and thin appearance evoked pity; any request she made would naturally draw more sympathy. Moreover, the watch she offered was truly valuable, a wedding gift from Su Huai’an inlaid with diamonds, clearly an expensive luxury item.

She didn’t pursue luxury goods, and not many people could recognize the watch’s value. She wore it simply because she happened to need a watch to tell the time.

After being kidnapped, Li Xia didn’t search her. Later, once she ended up on the ship, she feared it would be taken if found, so she always secretly hid it under the bed.

Seeing the watch, Bill’s eyes widened in disbelief, speaking English that Sheng Ning didn’t understand, but he looked delighted and excited.

This was good; it meant a guarantee of safety for her and the baby.

”Thank you, thank you...” Sheng Ning knew a few simple English phrases like ”hello” and ”thank you.” She spoke her thanks awkwardly in English, and finally, Bill pocketed the watch with an OK gesture.

Sheng Ning breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a smile of survival after the ordeal.

National Cemetery

Today was the last day of Mr. Su’s forty-nine-day mourning period. After today, the Su Family could stop mourning, and Su Jiang’s bereavement and sick leave would end, requiring him to return to the Southern District.

Early in the morning, the two brothers brought Su Huai’an to pay respects at the old man’s grave.

In the past, with Mr. Su always scolding Su Hai, the house was in constant chaos, but it was lively. Now that Mr. Su had passed, the entire household became frighteningly quiet. Ningning also had an accident, falling into the sea and leaving not even a trace of her corpse. This left the brothers too ashamed to face the old man.

According to tradition, they’d have arrived before dawn.

”Sorry, sir, we’re late,” said Su Jiang, kneeling abruptly to the ground.

In the back row, Su Huai’an also knelt without a word, ”Grandfather, I’m sorry!”
