Chapter 1466 - 1468

Although in recent years Zhan Jing has basically rarely seen patients, she still occasionally does, for example some special cases, as well as friends and partners in the business circle.

When it comes to seeing patients, Zhan Jing is really calm and unhurried, and can absolutely give a professional answer.

But this time, Zhan Jing really found it hard to open her mouth; she had never been this flustered.

Earlier Zhan Jing was even thinking this machine was way too unreliable, how could it possibly have failed to see the other baby.

But once she took the pulse, she understood. It really wasn’t the machine’s fault—this child is truly extraordinarily weak; if the bigger one happens to block it, it really might not show up.

Even though now it’s absolutely clear there are two babies, the situation really isn’t good.

What to do? If this were just an ordinary patient, Zhan Jing would absolutely recommend giving up on this child; even if this baby is born, its body probably won’t be in good condition.

Not to mention becoming a burden—for the child itself, being alive would also be a painful thing.

But all that is advice coming from a Doctor’s perspective; when the person involved is herself, Zhan Jing really doesn’t know how to say these things.

"Very good, things look fine." Zhan Jing didn’t know what to do about this.

Just now, merely hearing that the baby’s condition wasn’t good had already made Xuran cry like that. If even she were to suggest aborting or giving up this child...

Zhan Jing really didn’t dare imagine how Zhao Xuran would fall apart.

The situation is good? Even though Zhan Jing’s expression was very well controlled and what she said sounded right, Gong Ruini could still feel her negative emotions.

What Zhan Jing said was actually just to soothe her, hoping she wouldn’t overthink, but Gong Ruini really had no way not to think too much.

What to do—pretend nothing’s wrong, or just ask directly?

"Mom, can we talk?" Even if the result really wouldn’t be satisfying, Gong Ruini didn’t want to drag it out.

Good or bad, she’d have to face it sooner or later. Gong Ruini grabbed Zhan Jing, who was about to turn around and leave.

Zhan Jing was nervous inside too. Being caught and held by Gong Ruini, and clearly seeing that she had something she wanted to say, really made her more flustered.

"What is it?" Zhan Jing quickly adjusted her emotions; in any case, her expression was perfectly in place.

Zhan Jing’s expression really was perfectly in place, but that expression wasn’t that of a mother‑in‑law; it was purely the expression of a Doctor.

Why would a Doctor’s expression appear in front of her now? Gong Ruini really didn’t dare think too much. "Mom, I’m the one involved. I want to know the specific situation."

"Mom, I should understand that you flying over from Beijing at this time must mean something’s wrong."

Sigh, how was Zhan Jing supposed to go on—keep saying it’s nothing?

She’d always said Ni Zi wasn’t a stupid girl; she would definitely notice something, it was just the rest of them insisting that Ni Zi hadn’t noticed.

Well, now it’s out in the open, she’s asking point‑blank. How is she supposed to answer?

"Mom." Could the situation really be that bad? Otherwise why would Zhan Jing be unwilling to tell the truth?

Gong Ruini shot upright, "Mom."

"Is the baby’s condition really bad, or is it that one of the babies is in very bad condition?" All the weirdness had started from when the Doctor told her there were two babies.

"Mm." Zhan Jing thought for a moment, then gave a direct answer.

It was true. Even though she’d already been mentally bracing herself a little, when Gong Ruini heard Zhan Jing’s words, she was still stunned.

"How could this happen?"

"How could this happen?" Gong Ruini truly didn’t understand. How come other people’s pregnancies all go so smoothly, but when it’s her turn, the result is like this?

Heaven really is far too unfair to her. No, wait—could it be that Heaven has finally noticed the bug that is her?

Maybe for some reason, Heaven hadn’t moved against her, but instead went after the child.

Right now it’s one child—will it go after the other one too? Gong Ruini really didn’t know which way this would go.

"How could this happen?"

"How could this happen, Heaven, why are you striking at the child?"

At this moment, Gong Ruini was as panicked as a person could be, throwing caution to the wind about everything.

Watching Gong Ruini muttering nonstop about Heaven being cruel, saying why not take her back instead of going after the child, Zhan Jing really started to panic.

She didn’t know why, but Zhan Jing suddenly felt that right now she really couldn’t see through Gong Ruini at all.

When Zhan Jing finally managed to catch her breath a little, she realized that Gong Ruini had already run over to the floor‑to‑ceiling window, clearly about to slide open the glass door and head out.

"Ni Zi, Ni Zi!" Zhan Jing was alarmed, and rushed over to grab Gong Ruini.

"Xuran, Xuran!" Now Zhan Jing was truly panicked—how come there was only her in the room?

When this apartment was renovated back then, it was done to a very high standard. You could say soundproofing was the most important thing.

Once the bedroom door is closed, no matter how loud the noise inside, it won’t carry out.

At first Zhan Jing hadn’t realized this. It was only after she yelled for a long time and no one came in that she remembered.

"Damn." Zhan Jing really wanted to curse. At a moment when she needed people, how come absolutely no one was coming in to check?

Zhao Xuran too—clearly so worried about Ni Zi, so how come he still hadn’t come in to take a look?

And why did Ni Zi have such strength? Zhan Jing really had to use every ounce of strength she had to finally manage to pull Gong Ruini back.

Even then, Gong Ruini was still struggling nonstop, clearly trying to break free from Zhan Jing’s grip.

Zhan Jing was about to go crazy. She’d thought through many possible reactions from Gong Ruini after learning the truth, but had never imagined she’d get this worked up.

"Hey, where are you trying to go? Look at what you’re wearing." Outside in New York it was snowing heavily; for someone who’d thought it would be similar to Beijing, it had shocked Zhan Jing quite a bit.

And at a time like this, a pregnant woman was actually planning to go out barefoot in just a loungewear set—was she trying to die?

Zhan Jing didn’t know why Gong Ruini kept obsessing over Heaven being unfair to her. If Heaven were genuinely fair to everyone, would this world even exist?

Zhan Jing snapped, "I just knew that what you’re doing right now is basically a death‑wish."

"If you go out like that, there’s absolutely no way the babies can be kept." Zhan Jing was furious. She’d originally wanted to properly comfort Gong Ruini.

Anyone would be upset facing something like this, and might do things even they couldn’t foresee, but no one would pull stupid stunts like Gong Ruini.

This was the first time Gong Ruini had ever been scolded by Zhan Jing—and scolded so harshly it was like getting flayed alive.

Gong Ruini stared blankly at Zhan Jing, and while she was still distracted, the latter took the chance to push her onto the bed.

Zhan Jing let out a long breath, then forced herself to calm down a bit. After that commotion, she was truly exhausted.

She was, after all, getting on in years, and after such a long flight to the United States she’d already been tired.

Right now, Zhan Jing really had to thank Zhao Xuran for insisting she take a bath earlier; if she hadn’t recovered a bit, she really couldn’t imagine how she would’ve managed to restrain Gong Ruini just now.

"You take a good look at the stupid thing you just tried to do." Zhan Jing said angrily.

Taking advantage of the way her harsh words had stunned Gong Ruini into silence, with her not reacting for a while, Zhan Jing quickly walked to the bedroom door.

"Zhao Xuran! Zhao Xuran!" Zhan Jing raised her voice and shouted.

At this point, Zhan Jing didn’t care how many people she might scare by suddenly yelling like that; she just wanted to find someone to help her.
