My Scheming Little Devil

"Your cell phone is missing, we can’t find your phone, so we can’t notify your family. Give me your husband’s number, I’ll call him to come take care of you."

"Husband? I don’t have a husband. He doesn’t want me or the child, he was just playing with me, and after he was done, he threw me away like trash. Why would he come and take care of me?"

"Uh..." The doctor was extremely embarrassed and had no idea how to comfort this poor woman.

"You don’t need to pity me. After all, how can a heartless woman like me be sad?" Ye Lu leaned on her pillow, a carefree smile on her pale face.

The doctor frowned, "In your condition, you really need someone to take care of you."

"I can handle it myself," she insisted.

Who would she ask to take care of her, Yuanyuan and Yiyi? They still don’t know about her break-up with Third Young Master Jun. They’re still children, what can they do?

Her mother was in a sanatorium, and her health was poor. How could she care for Ye Lu?

The only one who could take care of her, Third Young Master Jun, had given up on her completely. She had no intention of giving him the paternity test telling him that these two children were his.

"No, you must have a relative by your side," the doctor insisted strongly.

Ye Lu looked at him quizzically, started to feel that something was wrong, her fingers started shaking 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Doctor, why are you saying this? Is there something wrong with my baby?"

Her heart couldn’t help but panic. She clenched her fingers around the bed covers, her eyes laser-focused on the doctor.

The doctor hesitated for a moment, seeing her like this, to prevent her from becoming more frantic, he finally spoke: "Alright, I originally planned to have a family member with you to explain your situation, so you can be mentally prepared. Since you’re alone, you must understand your own condition."

"Go ahead." Ye Lu’s heart was pounding, she was on edge.

She was already in such a desperate situation. If something happened to the baby, she really didn’t know how she would face it. The only thing she couldn’t lose are her children.

"Have you been suffering from overwork, extreme joy or sorrow, unable to sleep or rest properly, and extremely depressed recently?"

Ye Lu paused. She had experienced so much lately. Indeed, sometimes she felt very tired. The continuous happening of saddening and painful things had almost caused her to collapse a few times.

Including the events of last night, it was a massive blow to her.

"Yes, did it affect the baby?"

The doctor nodded, "Your fetus is suffering from insufficient oxygen to the brain. Its development is also later than normal. This is a dangerous sign, especially since you’re carrying twins."

Ye Lu felt cold, her lips turned pale. She stared blankly at the doctor with a hoarse voice.

"What does this mean?"

"If this situation worsens, there’s a high possibility that your twins will stop developing. This is called ’fetal arrest’."

Ye Lu was short of breath, her head spun, and she almost fainted.

The doctor quickly massaged her temples and put an oxygen tube in her nostrils.

"That’s why I said you shouldn’t feel extreme sorrow or joy. If you can’t bear it yourself and keep feeling excessively sad, how can you take care of your body, how can you protect your fetuses."

Ye Lu smiled bitterly with tears in her eyes. She knew she shouldn’t feel extreme joy or sorrow. But hearing such frightening news, how could she not be scared?

The only thing that could give her strength now are her children. If something happened to them, she would go insane.

"Doctor, you must try your best to save my children. No matter what the conditions are, I’m willing to pay the price. I can’t lose my children."
