Dr. Slonan’s eyes darkened:

"Given this situation, ordinary medicine may no longer work, and I’m unsure whether any new type of drug could save him. I have brought several drugs with me, all recently developed, but without extensive testing, the side effects and potential complications they might cause remain uncertain. However, considering our current predicament, we have no choice but to give them a try. Quickly, take him out, Yan Su, get everything ready..."

At his command, everyone sprang into action, their focus piercingly intense.

Only Ye Lu stood there, as pale as a marble statue, unmoving, watching as Third Young Master Jun was swiftly wheeled away on his hospital bed, vanishing from sight.

She leapt up, dashing out and desperately clung on to Dr. Slonan’s hand.

"Please save him, I beg you, he must survive... he can’t die..." Tears of sheer panic flooded out, spilling uncontrollably. Ye Lu was so choked with emotion that she could barely speak.

Dr. Slonan glanced at her, unable to bear to look at her face twisted with pain: "I will do my utmost. Besides, Madam, you’re pregnant, aren’t you? And this state of high-strung emotion can harm your child. For his sake, you should take care of yourself first."

Ye Lu trembled, her hand instinctively resting on her stomach, more grief stricken than ever before.

Soon after, Third Young Master Jun was moved into the intensive care center, the doors closing behind him rapidly.

Ye Lu collapsed against the door, her tears pouring out wildly. At that moment, every thought escaped her mind – no resentment, no hatred, nothing remained but sheer terror – a fear of death.

"You can’t die, you mustn’t die. Please, you must survive. You still haven’t met our children. They’re your flesh and blood." She sobbed uncontrollably.

Upon hearing the news, Yuanyuan and others rushed over, only to find Ye Lu collapsed against the operation room’s door, motionless, her face drained of all color, her eyes hollow.

"Mommy..." Yuanyuan’s eyes welled up with tears, seeing his mother like that, he crossed the distance between them and hugged her waist.

After a long time, Ye Lu, her choking voice barely above a whisper, muttered.

"Yuanyuan, you were right, I was running away from reality, from my own feelings."

Through her words, a distinct sense of deep sorrow reverberated.

Pretending to be indifferent, pretending it was merely a superficial infatuation.

Only when faced with the prospect of truly losing him did she realize her fear, her helpless panic.

The thought of him, life ebbing away beyond the door between them, felt like a knife twisting in her heart, pushing her to the brink of madness.

Despite all logical reasoning against falling in love with a man like him, she found numerous excuses, countless reasons to hate him. But emotionally, she had already succumbed, sinking deep into feelings, unaware of it.

It was in this moment; she finally understood, no matter how desperately she tried to escape, she could never deceive her own heart.

"I want him to live." She clung to her children, her face streaked with tears.

"Mommy, are you in love with him?" Yuanyuan stared at her in shock.

Even though he had always suspected and kept seeking confirmation, she had always resented every assumption, refusing to admit anything.

"Yes, I didn’t want to fall in love with him. I shouldn’t have. But... I couldn’t control my heart." Tears rained down from Ye Lu’s eyes.

What could be more ironic? Knowing that she shouldn’t love a man like him, only to step into the trap in the end.

"Mommy, don’t worry, he will survive, let’s wait for him together." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Soon, Old Madam Jun and Old Sir Jun also hurried over, and Feiyu, carrying a sobbing Ye Yiyi, arrived.
