Zhao Jinglan looked at the lying woman silently, her eyes full of complexity.

When it comes to ruthlessness, today has refreshed her understanding. Su Lanjing is ruthless enough.

With her ruthlessness, it was easy for her to deal with Yao Jing, and even the hundreds of concubines in the harem seemed to be no problem at all.

Having such a vicious sister, Zhao Jinglan couldn't help but feel sorry for Jiang Youling.

It seemed as if endless time had passed before the vehicle slowly drove into the hospital.

When Su Lanjing arrived at the hospital, her attending physician was already waiting. As soon as he saw her, he quickly arranged for her to enter the operating room.

Almost at the same time, the Gu and Su families, Gu Yao, and the Xie family also arrived. Since the accident happened at the Xie family, it was reasonable for the Xie family to come and visit and show concern.

When Gu Yao arrived, the door of the operating room was just opened.

Holding the medical malpractice form, the doctor explained to Gu Yao: "Mr. Gu, due to insufficient amniotic fluid and heavy uterine bleeding, there is not enough time to perform a cesarean section with anesthesia. In order for the child to survive, we can only choose surgery without anesthesia."

After hearing the doctor's words, everyone at the scene turned pale or terrified in an instant.

The doctor turned to Mr. Gu and said, "We have asked the pregnant woman for her opinion, and she requested an immediate surgery without anesthesia. Mr. Gu, as a family member, you..."

The doctor carefully avoided making any comments. Surgery without anesthesia was almost like fighting with death. Even though he was an experienced surgical expert, he still could not guarantee that the surgery was absolutely risk-free.

In order to ensure the safety of the pregnant woman, the child may need to be sacrificed. But the pregnant woman herself is firmly against this decision...

Gu Yao's eyes were fixed on the document, his mind blank.

For a long time, he had chosen to ignore the existence of the two children, but when he really heard that the children might face death, he felt a pain in his heart.

Facing Gu Yao's hesitation, the doctor strengthened his tone, "Mr. Gu, time is running out, you must make a choice immediately."

Gu's parents and other people present did not comment.

In this matter, we still need to respect the decision of Gu Yao and Su Lanjing in the end.

The door was opened again.

The midwife came out and said to the doctor and Gu Yao: "The woman in labor insists on having the surgery without anesthesia."

In the end, Gu Yao had no choice but to sign his agreement.

After signing, Gu Yao seemed to have lost all his strength. He sat down suddenly, and the iron chair made a dull sound. His hands unconsciously covered his face, trying to hide the confusion and anxiety that were clearly revealed.

Su Lanjing lay on the cold operating table, bleeding still profusely from beneath her body.

She felt full of guilt towards the baby in her belly.

Faced with the choice of saving the older child or the younger one, she chose the child without hesitation.

The child's accident was her inescapable responsibility.

She could no longer allow herself to be the executioner who took their lives.

Surgery without anesthesia is undoubtedly extremely painful.

Su Lanjing remained conscious and watched the doctor operating on her abdomen. She was sweating profusely from the pain, and the midwife kept wiping her.

At this moment, Su Lanjing suddenly thought of Su Lanyi. She had cruelly tortured her until Yiyi became neither human nor ghost.

Su Lanjing's heart tightened. Was Yiyi feeling as much pain as she was feeling now?

Su Lanjing's eyes couldn't help but become moist, and a tear quietly slipped down.

I don't know whether it's regret for hurting my sister, repentance for my child's fate, reflection on what I've achieved with all my efforts, or sadness for my current appearance.

"lady."

The midwife's voice rang in Su Lanjing's ears.

Su Lanjing turned her head palely, her eyes falling weakly on the midwife.

The midwife's expression seemed a little abnormal.

Su Lanjing's heart sank suddenly. "What happened?" She thought nervously, is there something wrong with the child?

The wound was still being stitched, and the pain made it difficult for her to breathe, but Su Lanjing looked at the midwife's face, and the pain seemed to be ignored. "Is it the baby..."

He risked his life lying in the operating room. If anything happened to the child...

Su Lanjing simply could not tolerate the possibility that there was something wrong with her child, and the fear and anxiety in her heart almost overwhelmed her.

"One of the children is in good condition, but the other one is suffering from severe hypoxia and is breathing very weakly now." The midwife hesitated: "In addition... he has some problems with his development."

Su Lanjing's heart suddenly tightened, as if a heavy hammer had hit her heart heavily.

Her voice was a little trembling: "A little bit of a problem" What does... mean?"

"Your child has a cleft lip and is currently in poor health, suffering from severe hypoxia and difficulty breathing. We are treating him urgently and sending him to the pediatric intensive care unit for further treatment... maybe he can still..."

"I have never stopped my prenatal checkups, but you didn't even notice the baby's deformity. How did you do the checkups?" Su Lanjing was furious.

The midwife explained:

"Madam, although prenatal examinations are comprehensive, sometimes we cannot foresee all problems. For example, cleft lip occurs in the early stages of embryonic development. If the prenatal examination is done just after the cleft lip is formed, then this defect may not be discovered during prenatal examinations."

Su Lanjing's expression was dull, with shock and disbelief written all over her face.

She never imagined that her children would have health problems.

Cleft lip...

She was extremely careful during her pregnancy, trying to avoid anything that might affect the fetus. She could not understand why her child had defects.

Is this really retribution?

"Madam, we will give the child first aid as soon as possible and then send him to the pediatric department. Please rest assured that we will do our best to treat him, and the child has a good chance of..."

"No." Su Lanjing abruptly interrupted the midwife's speech.

The midwife was stunned on the spot.

The doctor who was treating her wound couldn't help but pause for a moment while working with needle and thread.

Everyone turned to look at Su Lanjing in shock.

Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

After all, she had even risked her own life to give birth to two children. Now, if rescued in time, the other child still had hope of survival, but she chose to give up...

Looking at Su Lanjing, their eyes became very complicated.

Su Lanjing's eyes were bloodshot, a mixture of grief and ruthlessness, so sharp.

The two expressions intertwined, making her look fierce and weird.

What good would it do to save the child?

He was born with a defect. Rather than letting him live and suffer discrimination, it is better...

If something unfortunate happens to this child, Yao Jing will certainly not be able to escape responsibility.

Su Lanjing stared at the doctor coldly, and every word was as cold as ice: "The child was already dead at birth due to the delay."

…Silence. The whole audience was shocked and speechless.
