CHAPTER 574: 331 IF YOU WANT TO SAVE SOMEONE, CALL HER!

Jiang Xuan first noticed something was off with Xia Ye’s expression, then furrowed his brows, "What’s wrong?"

Xia Ye brushed past him and walked over to Liu Manyi. When she had visited the Jiang Family before the New Year, she thought Liu Manyi looked quite plumper than before just by seeing her across the garden. But to see her today...

"Aunt Liu, how much weight have you gained since before your pregnancy?"

This topic was considered a private and sensitive matter for ladies, especially with so many other people present in the room.

But Liu Manyi knew Xia Ye was a brilliant young doctor who wouldn’t ask her questions for no good reason, so she leaned in close and whispered a number in her ear with embarrassment, "221 kilograms..."

After speaking, she looked at her with a bitter smile, "I’ve gotten quite a bit fatter than before, haven’t I? My figure is all out of shape."

However, Xia Ye couldn’t manage to smile. She stared at Liu Manyi’s stomach, entirely serious from start to finish.

Generally, for a smooth childbirth, a pregnant woman’s total weight gain shouldn’t exceed 12 kilograms. Even with more leeway, gaining 10-20 kilograms throughout pregnancy into the late stages is still considered possible.

But Liu Manyi was just a little over five months pregnant, barely past the halfway mark of her pregnancy, and had already gained 21 kilograms...

Xia Ye didn’t answer; she simply placed her hand on Liu Manyi’s pulse.

The onlookers were taken aback, unsure of what was going on.

"Yeye..." Jiang Jiujue was about to speak up when Jiang Xuan interjected, "Wait a moment, taking the pulse requires quiet."

After half a minute, Xia Ye slowly opened her eyes and once again spoke, terrifying everyone, "Stop all nutritional supplements and control the diet starting today; there may still be a chance."

Could, there, possibly, be, a, chance?!

Initially, Liu Manyi thought she was just slightly overweight, but then Yeye said... there might still be a chance to save her?

What did that mean??

With those words, silence fell inside the room; the atmosphere turned cold and grave while the servants turned pale, none daring to breathe loudly.

Jiang Jiujue’s lips quivered, "Yeye, what are you saying? Aunt Liu is an older expectant mother. To have a healthy baby, she must certainly take more supplements than the average pregnant woman. She’s carrying a baby now and can’t withstand shocks."

Xia Ye spoke earnestly, "It’s precisely because she’s an older expectant mother that the potential for complications during childbirth is higher if the nutritional intake during pregnancy is excessive. Aunt Liu’s situation cannot be ignored. When I took her pulse just now, I detected signs of preterm labor..."

Liu Manyi’s ears buzzed at the word ’preterm,’ her face lost all color, and her legs went weak—

"Elder sister!" Dai Aiyuan quickly went to support her, "Elder sister, don’t panic. Weren’t the check-up results all normal? Maybe it isn’t as serious as Yeye says..."

Her voice was concerned, yet her face uncontrollably showed a vicious smile. Fortunately, she lowered her head in time to adjust Liu Manyi’s skirt, or her true feelings would have been exposed.

Although she had just said those words, she was the first to believe Xia Ye this time.

So that was it. Mr. Shen had already taken action, and she had been worrying over nothing.

Mr. Shen was indeed meticulous in his methods. If Liu Manyi were to experience a miscarriage directly, she would definitely be suspicious. However, if complications arose because the supplements were excessive, Liu Manyi could only blame herself.

Jiang Jiujue even thought Dai Ailian made sense, "Xiaoli, help Manyi sit down quickly. Yeye, if the machines don’t detect a problem, could you be... Besides, how can a pregnant woman control her weight haphazardly? If she does..."

His tone feigned compassion, but at the end of the day, it was full of skepticism.

Xia Ye’s expression remained indifferent, "Just because the machinery doesn’t detect it, doesn’t mean there’s no problem."

The surrounding servants had their own opinions, each having experienced childbearing and believing they were experienced.

"Listen to her," amidst the various opinions, Jiang Xuan’s voice was as steady as mountains, stabilizing the situation. He looked towards Xia Ye who was already writing a controlled diet menu in her notebook, "Write down any other precautions as well, and I’ll inform big brother."

It wasn’t to say that Jiang Xuan was a particularly compassionate person. Human life and death have their destinies, and happiness and separations he had witnessed for thousands of years had long made him indifferent.

As long as it had nothing to do with Xia Ye, he wouldn’t be moved.

But he knew Xia Ye wasn’t like that. She helped in the face of suffering, combatted evil, spoke harsher than anyone, yet had a warmer heart than anyone else. If it hadn’t been for this, she wouldn’t have repeatedly broken the heavenly rules.

He couldn’t control her, so he could only go along with her.

Help her clear obstacles.

Xia Ye nodded and continued writing without stopping.

Liu Manyi took a while to recover, her voice trembling, "Yeye, I will start doing what you told me today. Can it still save my baby?"

She certainly believed what Xia Ye had said. Without Xia Ye, she wouldn’t have been able to get pregnant.

Now she regretted not having invited Yeye to her home for dinner earlier, which led to the seriousness of the situation now...
