When Lan Qingqing woke up, the sun had already set. She was jolted awake by a persistent pain, and as she opened her eyes, she found herself in a daze, momentarily forgetting where she was and what had happened to her.
After a while of confusion, she finally realized her surroundings when Mo Kai Liang's face came into view. She felt too weak to speak or even reach out for him. It dawned on her that her abdomen had been cut open; her child had been born.
Instinctively, she looked to her left, expecting to see her baby, but both sides were empty, save for the life-saving medical equipment surrounding her. She could barely hear the voices of those around her; it felt as if there was a thick layer of plastic wrap over her ears, muffling everything like a drumbeat.
She stared blankly at Mo Kai Liang as he spoke, but his words were lost on her. It seemed as if everything was moving in slow motion, yet her mind raced with thoughts. Now that the child was born, she wanted to hand it over to Ke Wenjie as quickly as possible and collect the remaining maternity benefits. She had no intention of raising Ke Wenjie's child or breastfeeding it; she had just undergone cosmetic surgery and was at a crucial moment in her life to find a man. She couldn't afford to let this child derail her plans.
Time passed slowly until doctors and nurses began entering the room to check on her condition and tend to her incision. Only then did Lan Qingqing regain her hearing.
The sounds around her gradually became clearer. She turned to Mo Kai Liang and demanded to know where the child was and whether he had notified Ke Wenjie.
Mo Kai Liang remained silent, and so did the medical staff. Their silence hinted at something serious, prompting Lan Qingqing to instinctively ask, "Is it dead? Did the baby die?"
A wave of disappointment washed over her, but she quickly adjusted her mindset. Deep down, she knew whether the child lived or died was merely a matter of financial implications. She felt no pity for that small life; after all, it was just a tool for making money. If it were dead, that would be even better—no burdensome ties with Ke Wenjie and no need to deal with him anymore. The only downside would be losing out on the remaining maternity benefits.
Lan Qingqing's face showed no signs of pain. "Fine, if it's dead, then it's dead," she thought. "That's just the child's fate; it's Ke Wenjie's bad luck for not having a son. I did my best."
Grimacing in pain, Lan Qingqing turned to the doctor for help. "Can I get a painkiller? It hurts so much! Also, how big is the incision on my abdomen? How long will it take to recover?"
The doctors and nurses remained silent, glancing at Mo Kai Liang instead. In this situation, it seemed more appropriate for him to explain things.
Mo Kai Liang took a deep breath and informed Lan Qingqing about what had happened.
Within minutes, after looking at photos of the child, Lan Qingqing's first reaction mirrored Ke Wenjie's—nausea surged through her, and she vomited violently, tearing at her incision in the process.
The nurse rushed forward to assist her, but Lan Qingqing felt like she was losing control. "That’s not my child! That’s a monster! A monster! Why are you trying to save it? Is that even human? Just kill it! Kill it! Ke Wenjie said he didn't want that child anymore—why are you still keeping it? Are you trying to make me raise it? A two-headed freak? Who would want that? Just kill it! Kill it!"
Lan Qingqing's frantic cries echoed in the room as Mo Kai Liang joined forces with the doctors to hold her down on the bed while the nurse continued tending to her.
"Get Ke Wenjie here right now!" Lan Qingqing shouted hoarsely at Mo Kai Liang. "Tell him to take that monster away! I won’t raise it! I won't take care of it! That’s not my child! It’s not human! I won’t raise it! No way!"
Mo Kai Liang remained silent; he had no answers for Lan Qingqing. Ke Wenjie had run off, and whether that child had any relation to him was something Lan Qingqing couldn’t prove with mere words. Now that the freak baby was born, there was no way they could just dispose of it in the hospital without facing severe consequences.
Mo Kai Liang could only wait until Lan Qingqing calmed down before having a proper conversation with her.
At that moment, however, several heads suddenly popped into view at the door of the hospital room—people holding cameras who began filming inside without hesitation.
