Chapter 481: No Hope Left

When Fu Mingxue asked, Qin Yue was all ears.

If you looked closely, you would have seen his expression grow tense.

"She’s much more emotionally stable now."

Hearing Mr. Qin say that, Fu Mingxue breathed a sigh of relief. ’It’s good that she’s stable.’

’In any case, her health has to come first.’

"I’ve been a bit busy these past few days, running between the school and the First Auto Factory, so I won’t be able to visit the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Qin immediately said, "Just focus on your own things."

At that moment, the siblings Qin Yue and Qin Ruqiao had already put on their schoolbags.

Seeing this, Mr. Qin said goodbye to Fu Mingxue and her mother.

Once they left, Fu Mingxue also got ready to go to school.

"Mom, don’t bother making me a meal today. You guys just eat. By the way, I brought back some meat dishes and grains last night. You saw them and put them away, right?"

Under the cover of darkness last night, she had taken some of the rice, flour, grains, and meat from her dimensional space and left them in the kitchen.

It saved her the trouble of having to make up excuses to bring things out every few days.

"With all that stuff in the kitchen, how could I not see it? You bought way too much."

"It’s not that much. It was easy for my friend to get it, just something they did on the side. Besides, if you can’t finish all the meat, you can put it in the fridge or cure some of it."

Mrs. Fu figured her daughter’s friend probably handled procurement for a company cafeteria.

"In that case, I want to make some smoked meat. Can you get me some more?"

Fu Mingxue was speechless. ’...?’

’I’ve already taken out most of the meat from my space. Where am I supposed to get more for smoked meat?’

"Not right now. We’ll have to see in a little while."

’It all depends on the system’s reward drops.’

Hearing this, Mrs. Fu didn’t press the issue.

"Mom, I’m off! Thanks for everything!"

Mrs. Fu rolled her eyes.

’What’s so hard about it for me?’

’It’s just a matter of setting out two more pairs of chopsticks, isn’t it?’

’Besides, the two of them are so well-behaved, not at all like those especially naughty kids from other families.’

’They really make things easy.’

For several days in a row, Fu Mingxue was busy as a bee.

Meanwhile, Gao Lan had been in the hospital for several days.

On this day, Qin Wenze actually managed to get Doctor Xie to come.

Gao Lan saw the young female doctor.

She had been holding onto a sliver of hope, but seeing Doctor Xie, she felt a great sense of disappointment.

Qin Wenze had mentioned that this highly skilled Doctor Xie was very young.

But she hadn’t expected Doctor Xie to be *this* young.

Still, she suppressed her turbulent emotions.

She silently complied with all of Doctor Xie’s examinations.

She hadn’t held out much hope, so her heart still ached with grief when she heard Doctor Xie give the diagnosis.

She couldn’t help but ask, "Doctor Xie, is there really nothing that can be done for me?"

"Your uterus is damaged. There’s only a five percent chance."

’Five percent... Isn’t that the same as nothing?’

’What’s the difference between that and the one percent the doctors here gave me?’

Seeing Gao Lan’s mood souring again, Qin Wenze could only try to comfort her. "It’s okay if we don’t have children. Just focus on your recovery."

If not for the stranger in the room, Gao Lan would have already shot back a retort, not wanting to make a scene for an outsider to laugh at.

Doctor Xie didn’t stay in the hospital room for long.

She was only here this time because the Qin family had gone through the hospital director to ask her to come.

She happened to have a meeting nearby, so she had dropped in to take a look.

Qin Wenze walked her out of the room.

As he turned to come back in, Gao Lan suddenly said, "Qin Wenze, it’s a fact that I can’t have children now. And it’s also a fact that I lost this baby because your son, Qin Yue, pushed me."

Qin Wenze wanted to say that the boy didn’t mean to.

But before he could get the words out, Gao Lan’s next sentence stunned him.
