Chapter 921: Chapter 921: What are the Odds of Survival?
“The child has been saved, and the pregnant woman doesn’t have any major issues,” said the doctor, his face showing little emotion.
Butler Ling felt a surge of joy in her heart. The child has been saved? The child has been saved?!
Excitement appeared on her face, her heart thumping wildly.
However, she quickly suppressed the joy in her heart, her hands twisting nervously because… there was another piece of bad news.
Butler Ling felt anxious as if a blade hung over her. She really wanted to avoid asking; she wanted to go directly to the ward to see Xu Chaomu. But without asking, she felt uncertain.
After hesitating for a while, she still asked, “Then… Doctor, what’s the bad news?”
The doctor washed his hands, his demeanor calm.
“The baby is too small, and its bodily functions are not up to standard,” the doctor said calmly, as if he had seen too many such cases, “For now, the baby has been placed in an incubator. Whether it can truly be saved, we will have to observe for a couple of days.”
Butler Ling was stunned, so the baby’s fate was still uncertain.
She suddenly felt as if cold water had been poured over her, chilling her from head to toe.
The corridor was already cold, filled with the stupefying smell of antiseptics, and at this moment, it felt like the dead of winter.
After washing his hands, the doctor removed his mask, picked up his things, and walked outside.
“Go check on the pregnant woman. She is temporarily unconscious and will wake up in a while. But rest assured, she’s fine,” the doctor offered reassurance.
After speaking, the doctor left.
Butler Ling stood there, somewhat at a loss.
Should she feel relieved that Xu Chaomu was alright?
Old Cheng was much calmer as he approached Butler Ling and whispered, “Let’s go have a look at Mrs. Fourth Young Master.”
“Yes,” Butler Ling nodded.
Together, they walked towards the care center, where Xu Chaomu was in the room at the very end.
In the room, a few nurses helped Xu Chaomu onto the bed and started an IV for her.
The two servants at the side didn’t know how they could be of any help; they only saw that Shen Chi’s complexion was very pale.
The young nurse, while assisting with everything, said in a low voice, “The pregnant woman is very weak from the premature birth and needs more meticulous care than an average pregnant woman, with someone watching over her at all times in case any problems arise that must be reported to a doctor immediately.”
“As for her diet, we’ll have to be careful. The physicians will come later to explain in detail, and we must also keep her emotions under control. The pregnant woman doesn’t have any major issues, but the baby will need another two or three days of observation.”
“What are the chances of the baby’s survival?” Shen Chi asked hoarsely.
It took a lot of courage to ask this question, but he had to know. He needed to be fully prepared mentally to comfort Xu Chaomu.
“The baby is very small, and coupled with the mother’s emotional issues, a conservative estimate would be 20%,” the nurse said busily.
Shen Chi’s complexion grew worse, his entire face clouding over, like the sky before a storm in June. He stood in front of the bed, fists clenched, back ramrod straight.
“I understand,” was all Shen Chi said, his calm tone cutting through the chill.
After speaking, he strode onto the balcony.
After a long silence, he took out his phone and made a call.
“Mr. Shen.”
“Arrange for the best obstetrician and gynecologist in C City to come to the First Hospital’s care center.”
“Yes, Mr. Shen.”
The nurse administering the IV to Xu Chaomu glanced at Shen Chi, feeling that this man must be someone of status, not daring to say much.
Butler Ling walked in, with Old Cheng remaining outside.
“Nurse, how is my young mistress doing?” asked Butler Ling.

“It’s okay, the pregnant woman is in good physical condition, and with proper care, she will recover quickly,” the nurse said succinctly.
“Thank you for your help,” the butler Ling expressed his gratitude.
Butler Ling’s heart was filled with trepidation, yet he also breathed a sigh of relief. This… after all, was good news.
But what about Xu Chaomu’s child? Could the child survive?
Xu Chaomu hadn’t even had the chance to see the child…
Butler Ling lowered his voice, “Can we… can we see the child for a moment?”
“Definitely not now, we have to wait until we’re sure everything is safe,” the nurse replied. “Okay, we’re going to step out now. If you have any issues, find us immediately.”
“Okay, thank you,” Butler Ling said.
After sending off the young nurses, Butler Ling glanced at Shen Chi, who was standing by the window.
Shen Chi was much calmer than he had expected. He stood at the window, gazing into the distance, but the pain in his eyes couldn’t be hidden. It was just that this pain was building up inside Shen Chi, without erupting.
Butler Ling knew that everyone’s heart was aching over the incident with Xu Chaomu’s child.
Shen Chi had treated this child as if he was his own son, and now, suddenly facing premature birth and the question of survival, how could Shen Chi not be distressed?
Butler Ling did not speak; she saw that Shen Chi’s eyes had reddened.
Butler Ling looked down and tucked in the corner of Xu Chaomu’s blanket, casting a pitiful glance at her.
This poor girl had suffered so much hardship. Her normally lively and lovely face was now extraordinarily pale, hardly resembling the usual Xu Chaomu.
Giving birth was supposed to be a happy event, but now, when Xu Chaomu woke up and couldn’t see her child, what was to be done…
Butler Ling remained silent, unable to find any comforting words for Xu Chaomu.
This was Xu Chaomu’s first child, the one she had been longing for. Now that the baby had finally arrived, it was in such a condition, something no one had expected.
Butler Ling signaled to Xiaoyue and Yunyun with a glance, indicating that they should step out.
Understanding, they left the room quietly.
For a moment, only Shen Chi, Butler Ling, and Xu Chaomu remained in the room.
Xu Chaomu had not yet regained consciousness, the medicine in the drip bottle trickling down the IV and into her bloodstream, motionless.
It was the afternoon, and the sunlight was splendid outside. The light refracted on the glass, creating a rainbow of colors.
Being on the second floor, the soundproofing was quite good; still, one could faintly hear children’s shouting from downstairs.
Not to mention Xu Chaomu, even Butler Ling’s heart would tighten upon hearing children’s voices now.
What should be done when Xu Chaomu woke up…
Butler Ling walked towards Shen Chi and said softly, “Young Master Four.”
Shen Chi did not speak, his deep gaze fixated on the distance.
Butler Ling saw that Shen Chi’s eyes were still red. His lips were tightly closed, and he remained silent.
“Young Master Four, I’m going to step out. If you need anything, just call me,” Butler Ling said.
“…” Shen Chi still did not utter a word.
Butler Ling bowed her head and slowly walked out of the room.
Outside the room, Old Cheng was waiting. Butler Ling came out and closed the door to the room.
“How is it?” Old Cheng asked.
“Chaomu is alright, just a bit pale. I think Young Master Four is feeling very distressed,” Butler Ling replied quietly.
“It’s normal. With what happened, it’s tough for anyone,” Old Cheng sighed helplessly. “My heart feels very heavy too.”
