CHAPTER 614: CHAPTER 612: STAY

Su Mo had no desire to touch anything greasy, but she happily ate the plain chicken shreds and rice porridge.

By the time Zhao Changsheng and the others came to visit her, her complexion had become much rosier.

"You finally look presentable," Zhao Changsheng sat down beside her, her fox-like eyes glued to Su Mo’s belly without moving away, "I’m going to be the godmother in the future."

Swallowing a spoonful of porridge, Su Mo smiled and said, "Okay, you can be the godmother."

Lu Chen wiped her mouth for her, "P City Hospital has both color ultrasound and B-ultrasound machines, I’ll go bring them here."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Changsheng immediately spoke up, "You stay here with Baby Mo, Li Qian and I will go fetch them, we’ll bring back whatever you need."

She didn’t wait for Lu Chen or Su Mo to respond, grabbing Li Qian’s arm and striding towards the door.

Mu Rou finally found the opportunity to bring something over and express her thanks. Considering Su Mo was pregnant, she didn’t dare to stay long, only saying before leaving, "When I came out today, I saw Jiang Yulian, who is close to you, heading to the neighboring district."

Leaning against the headboard, Su Mo instinctively looked towards Lu Chen, "Aunt Jiang must be worried about Fang Ya."

Lu Chen nodded expressionlessly, pulling her blanket a bit higher, "I’ll handle everything in the future, you just focus on nurturing the fetus. If..."

His large hand caressed Su Mo’s abdomen, saying, "If he threatens your safety, I won’t hesitate to terminate him."

Even if it was his own flesh and blood, it wasn’t as important as Su Mo.

Su Mo smacked him on the shoulder, complaining, "He’s your son after all, can’t you try to win over his heart with true feelings, instead of threatening him all the time?"

Lu Chen’s lips curled into a smile, yet his threatening gaze still fixed on Su Mo’s belly.

Jiang Yulian searched the neighboring refugee camp for a while before finding Fang Ya’s grey tent through the guidance of the soldiers.

When she lifted the flap and entered, a thick and rotten smell enveloped her.

Fang Ya’s untreated leg was already showing signs of festering.

She herself leant despondently in the tent, with her face bearing an expression of lifeless despair.

When Jiang Yulian bent down to enter, Fang Ya didn’t even notice.

"Fang Ya."

Crouching next to her, Jiang Yulian truly hadn’t expected to see the once noble lady, accustomed to luxury, in such a state. The warm scent of the steamed meat buns she had kicked all the way here brought Fang Ya back to her senses.

She turned her head bewildered, and as her focus settled on Jiang Yulian’s face, her eyes began to tremble, "You..."

Her voice was so hoarse it scarcely sounded human; Jiang Yulian conjured several water spheres for her to drink, and also filled up some empty bottles nearby.

"How did you end up like this," she handed over the meat buns she was holding.

Fang Ya wolfed down the food, and tears streamed down her face as she cried and ate, snivelling after not having eaten for two days, "I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Please go and ask Lu Chen to forgive me, a mother pleading for her child."

Seeing her so pitiable, Jiang Yulian still shook her head, "You never understood Lu Chen’s temper, unwavering. He definitely gave you many chances before."

"I will find someone to treat your leg, and afterward... you can go out, find a job, and live a decent life."

Fang Ya never knew the usually tender-hearted Jiang Yulian could be so firm, dropping the bun to grab her hand, "That’s my son! You’ve already taken him from me! Do you still want me dead now?"

Pulling away to stand up and step back, Jiang Yulian looked at her with disappointment, "You handed him over to me with your own hands."

She no longer paid attention to the crying behind her and summoned Li He to help repair Fang Ya’s leg. With that act, her slight acquaintance with Fang Ya was completely and decisively severed.

Zhao Changsheng did as she said, and on the same day, she had the ultrasound and color Doppler machines from P City Hospital transported to the clinic.

The next morning, Su Mo was dragged to the checkup like a cherished animal.

The female gynecologists were still hastily recruited from among the civilians.

Su Mo was somewhat unable to bear this star-studded, emperor-like treatment, but the result of the checkup given by the doctor was temporarily good.

Lu Chen looked at the blurry mass that did not even have a human shape yet, and his heart skipped several beats—that was his... child.

"It’s just 8 weeks, there’s only a heartbeat and an embryonic bud, it hasn’t fully grown into the shape of a child. During pregnancy, it is important to rest, maintain a pleasant mood, and appropriate exercise is necessary."

When the gynecologist said this, she was a bit intimidated, "You can’t let her not even walk."

When Su Mo had first arrived, Lu Chen had carried her all the way, and now Zhao Changsheng was even ready with a wheelchair to push her back.

Hearing the doctor say this, she was naturally pleased, "I also think so, I haven’t been out of bed for several days."

Lu Chen said something to the doctor at the clinic, and then put all the medicines brought back from the medical company into the clinic’s warehouse.

Su Mo refused all the medicine for sustaining the pregnancy; her own brewed Crucian Carp Soup was enough.

As Lu Chen supported her and walked leisurely towards the hotel, Lu Jin, who had left at almost the same time as them, returned.

He also appeared at the hotel entrance, accompanied by a vibrant-looking woman dressed in short clothes.

The other party also turned her head and saw her, and the bright smile on her face froze there.

"Lu Jin... that woman over there, she looks a bit like me," she said.

Although Su Mo had changed her height, hair color, and eye color, her facial features were a bit more refined than before, so it was not surprising to say she resembled the girl. Even Su Mo thought she and the girl bore some resemblance in the eyebrows and eyes.

Lu Jin paused in his steps and turned his head sharply. It was indeed Su Mo.

He stopped right there, his eyes almost glued to her.

Fei Yiyi tugged at his sleeve, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, "What are you looking at?"

Lu Jin brushed off her hand without leaving a trace, looked at Su Mo for a while, and then turned to enter the hotel.

Standing behind Lu Chen, Su Mo noted his gaze coming her way and saw Lu Chen already shielding her from most of it.

He held her in his arms and whispered, "It seems he has found his result as well."

Su Mo nodded, "Let’s go back to the room and stay there for a while, you can go to Rong Bai later to find out."

Lu Chen took her to the room and sat with her for a while before he got up and headed to the top floor.

Fei Yiyi had always known that there was a reason why Lu Jin treated her so well, and Lin Yao had also told her several times in secret. Each time she saw Fei Yiyi bruised from being beaten, she felt that the woman Lu Jin worried about was no simple creature.

Having seen the real person today, the man beside her was even more formidable.

Taking advantage of their conversation, Fei Yiyi slipped out of the conference hall with ease. She wanted to meet that woman.
