Chapter 364: Chapter 364: This Child Might Not Be Saved

“How is that possible? Isn’t she supposed to be infertile?” Mrs. Huo’s face changed dramatically, her voice shrill.

It had been nearly a year since her son got married, and there had been no news from Yun Xuefei. Mrs. Huo had always thought the problem lay with Yun Xuefei. That’s why, when Sun Qiuran came along, she was in such a hurry to take her under her protection.

To say she placed great importance on Sun Qiuran and the child in her belly would be an overstatement; she merely wanted to slap Yun Xuefei in the face. Yun Xuefei always had the Yun Family backing her, never taking her mother-in-law seriously. Her son, too, indulged her to the point of lawlessness, under Yun Xuefei’s influence, he had almost stopped returning to the Huo Family home!

When she later learned about her son’s divorce from Yun Xuefei, Mrs. Huo felt immensely relieved.

But now, Yun Xuefei was pregnant as well!

“The child in Xuefei’s belly is your true grandson or granddaughter,” Huo Yanzhao said coldly, glancing at Sun Qiuran, “Now, do you still want to protect this woman?”

Mrs. Huo’s face was a mask of shifting expressions, and it took a long time before she spoke, “Even so, you can’t force her to have an abortion!”

Hearing this, Sun Qiuran couldn’t help but shiver, looking at Huo Yanzhao with a plea in her eyes, “Director Huo, I assure you this child will have nothing to do with you in the future. Please let me keep it…”

“Don’t be afraid, our Huo Family won’t do such a despicable thing,” Mrs. Huo said, soothing her kindly.

Sun Qiuran nodded through her sobs.

Seeing this scene, Huo Yanzhao glanced at Dr. Zhao, who immediately understood and walked toward Sun Qiuran.

When Sun Qiuran looked up and saw him, she immediately remembered the day she had been taken to the operating table and had nearly lost her child…

“No!” She screamed in terror.

Mrs. Huo also looked at Dr. Zhao with displeasure, “What are you doing?”

“Miss Sun’s complexion doesn’t look good. If we’re not careful, the child might not survive,” Dr. Zhao frowned, scrutinizing Sun Qiuran’s face, “I’m just reminding Miss Sun as a doctor’s instinct.”

Sun Qiuran quickly clutched her belly.

Mrs. Huo, seeing Sun Qiuran’s panic-stricken appearance, couldn’t help but believe Dr. Zhao’s words.

Such a woman… really isn’t fit to be seen in public. Mrs. Huo cursed her bad luck inwardly.

“Forget it, I’ll take you to another hospital to have a look,” Mrs. Huo said, softening her voice.

Sun Qiuran nodded frantically, following Mrs. Huo into the elevator, but before she left, her gaze lingered longingly on Huo Yanzhao.

However, Huo Yanzhao didn’t even glance at her once.

She withdrew her gaze, feeling dejected.

After they left, Huo Yanzhao asked Dr. Zhao, “How is it?”

Dr. Zhao nodded, “Don’t worry, Miss Sun’s health was never good to begin with, and the child wouldn’t last. The lady doesn’t really care about her either and has arranged for her to stay in the apartment at Lishui Pavilion. I’ve already bribed the maid there who cooks for her.”

Huo Yanzhao smiled, “What I need is an ‘accident’.”

The child of Sun Qiuran must not be allowed to remain, by any means. However, Huo Yanzhao didn’t want to appear ruthless and cold-hearted in Xuefei’s eyes.

At least, on the surface, it had to seem unintentional.

“Of course, an ‘accident,'” Dr. Zhao said, catching on immediately.

…

Huo Yanzhao hurried out of the hospital, calling Huo Yanhui on his phone as he walked.

“…I’ve already seen my sister-in-law, but she refused to get in my car,” Huo Yanhui fumed. “Brother, once you’re done on your end, come over as fast as you can. I’ll find a way to stop them.”
