Chapter 932 -932: There Will Be More Children

Shen Chi squinted his eyes, groping in the darkness for his cellphone, which had been vibrating incessantly.

He took a closer look, it was Dr. Li’s number!

Shen Chi’s sleepiness vanished instantly!

“Dr. Li, what’s wrong?” Shen Chi lowered his voice.

A bad premonition crossed his mind, and as he was talking on the phone with Dr. Li, he quietly got out of bed, walked out of the room, and gently closed the door behind him.

“Mr. Shen, your baby suddenly developed a high fever in the middle of the night and is in emergency care,” Dr. Li’s voice carried a hint of panic.

“Emergency care?” Shen Chi felt his heart skip a beat.

If they were in the midst of emergency care, why was Dr. Li calling him? Could it be…

“Mr. Shen, I’m sorry, we arrived in time, but the resuscitation only went on for five minutes before the child stopped breathing,” Dr. Li’s voice dropped as he continued.

Shen Chi felt as though he had been struck by a thunderbolt, his mind going blank instantly.

He leaned against the hospital corridor’s wall, where the lights seemed to swirl around him. What he saw was not the light, but a ghastly pallidness.

In his ears echoed the doctor’s words: stopped breathing…

These words buzzed around his head like bees, Shen Chi’s pupils constricted sharply, and even though he had always faced catastrophic events without fear, at this moment, he was overwhelmed by a sense of collapse.

Collapse, a true collapse.

“Mr. Shen, I’m so sorry, sorry…” Dr. Li said apologetically, “We couldn’t save your child’s life. We were concerned the news would upset the pregnant woman, so we notified you first.”

Dr. Li spoke in hushed tones over the phone, but Shen Chi didn’t hear a word of it.

His vision darkened, and his mind felt like it was about to explode. At first, he tried to steady himself against the wall, but even after tens of seconds, he realized he couldn’t maintain his composure.

At this moment, he clenched his jaw, wanting to cry out loud.

“Mr. Shen, I truly am sorry. But you both are young, you can still have another child,” Dr. Li whispered softly.

She knew it was a little inappropriate to say this at such a time, but a comforting word might still have some effect, right…?

Shen Chi had a lump in his throat, a sweet, metallic taste welled up, and the area around his heart ached unbearably, like it was being twisted by a knife.

His hand holding the phone trembled, and his other hand clenched into a fist, veins bulging.

Pain was etched all over his face, he closed his eyes, suddenly feeling an urge to cry.

The image of Xu Chaomu’s pure and beautiful smiling face flashed before him; before sleep, she was full of anticipation, full of dreams, and she had talked to him a lot about the baby.

He didn’t dare to imagine what it would be like if she found out the child was gone…

No, no… it’s not like this…

“Mr. Shen…” Dr. Li called anxiously, not hearing Shen Chi’s response, “You have to think positively, the child is gone but you can try again. But you must take good care of the pregnant woman; she can’t be stressed.”

Dr. Li paused for several tens of seconds but still there was no response from the other end of the phone.

“Mr. Shen, how are you? You need to think positively, really,” Dr. Li urged, “For the child’s case… we need your signature. Please see if you can come down to the operating room. It’s just up ahead on the second floor, I’ll wait for you at the door.”

“Mr. Shen, preterm births like this are quite common, of course, we also didn’t do all we could,” Dr. Li said.

Shen Chi couldn’t keep calm, his entire heart was racing.

In the face of gunfire and explosions, he had been fearless, but now, he had collapsed…

Didn’t they all say he was heartless? Then what was this agonizing pain he was feeling now…

There was a persistent blockage in his throat, accompanied by bitterness and a sweet, metallic taste, coming in waves, leaving him unable to speak.

“Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen…” Dr. Li was a bit panicked.

“I’m on my way now,” Shen Chi said slowly, trying his best to steady his emotions.

Only he knew that uttering those few words seemed to have used up all the strength he had in life.

There was a slight sob in his voice, and as soon as he spoke, even Dr. Li was momentarily stunned.

“Alright then, Mr. Shen, I’ll be waiting for you outside,” Dr. Li hung up the phone.

At that moment, Shen Chi was physically and mentally exhausted, his legs felt as if they were filled with lead, and he just couldn’t take a step. His hand holding the cell phone was trembling; if he hadn’t been controlling it with all his might, the phone would have surely slipped from his grasp.

He knew he had to sign the document, and he had to continue spreading the lie.

If possible, he would have to maintain the lie until Xu Chaomu was discharged from the hospital.

He stood there for a minute before finally managing to adjust his emotions and headed towards the surgery room’s exit.

The corridor was deserted, with only a few lamps still on, filled with the unpleasant smell of disinfectants, and not a single person in sight.

He knew that it was already three o’clock in the morning.

The walk to the surgery room was the longest journey he had ever taken…

Turning a corner, Dr. Li was indeed already waiting outside.

She was still wearing her mask, holding something that looked like documents.

“Mr. Shen, you’ve arrived,” she said.

She looked up at Shen Chi with the light from the corridor, noticing the man was still dressed in a robe. His emotions seemed stable, not out of control, the whole person looked okay, except it was uncertain whether he might explode.

“Mr. Shen, please sign here,” Dr. Li handed Shen Chi the documents and a pen, “I’m so sorry, truly sorry.”

Shen Chi took the pen, which felt as heavy as a thousand jins.

The dim light shone on the white paper of the documents; Shen Chi flipped through them to find a death notice and several surgery declarations.

Shen Chi’s hand was trembling, shaking uncontrollably.

He didn’t want to sign, didn’t want to sign at all!

“Mr. Shen, your baby is still in the surgery room, if you want, you can take a look,” Dr. Li said.

Her voice was very somber, conveying regret and loss.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chi’s hand shook even more violently, his entire mind nearly bursting. To take a look, did he have the courage to take just one look?

The signature pen dropped onto the signing area of the document, and Shen Chi signed his name, for the first time, in a slow and heavy manner.

“Mr. Shen, you and Mrs. Shen are still young. As long as you take good care of Mrs. Shen, you will have children again. You must ensure Mrs. Shen does not get too upset.”

“Who else have you told about this?” Shen Chi asked in a deep voice.

His voice was low and hoarse, clearly revealing his profound grief. His face also wore an expression of intense pain, and there was a constant ache in his chest…

“Besides you, nobody else for now,” Dr. Li collected Shen Chi’s signed documents.

Shen Chi nodded without saying a word.

“Mr. Shen, please go in and take a look, this child… is quite adorable,” Dr. Li bowed her head.

Shen Chi took a step forward, heading towards the door of the surgery room.

Inside the surgery room, several nurses were clearing away equipment, and yes, there was a child on the operating table…

Shen Chi’s heart was bleeding, his hands tightly gripping the edge of the door frame, almost wishing he could dig his fingers into the wood!
