Moreover, what about this frail woman before them?
Looking at her thin figure, it seemed that even a gust of wind could blow her away.
Hearing the doctor say this, Hua Nongying looked at Ma Lele with concern.
"It's okay, Doctor. You can do your job with confidence. I believe in you, and I believe in myself! I will be fine!" Ma Lele took a deep breath and said with a smile.
The doctor expressed some admiration, "Miss, your courage is truly commendable. I'm curious, what gives you such boldness and bravery?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Lele momentarily lost her focus.
She smiled awkwardly and did not answer the question.
Because at that moment, a voice deep within her was screaming wildly: You are worried about him! You want to see him again! Admit it, no matter what he has done to you, you still love him!
Her brain felt as if it were being pierced by countless needles, and all that filled her mind was the image of that man.
Cold, gentle, indifferent, domineering—various facets magnified in her mind, occupying every cell.
In that instant, she even felt an urge to cry.
The doctor and Hua Nongying noticed something was off with her. Hua Nongying tugged at her sleeve and frowned, "Lele, what's wrong? Why does your face look so pale?"
Before Ma Lele could respond, the Old Doctor had already quickly checked her pulse. A look of surprise crossed his eyes. "You're pregnant?"
"What's wrong?" Hua Nongying became anxious.
"I'm sorry, but I cannot perform this surgery on this young lady. It's too dangerous and could very likely harm the child in her womb. If that happens, it would be a case of two lives lost!" The Old Doctor said tremulously, his gaze constantly scanning Ma Lele.
Ma Lele felt a tightness in her chest as she noticed the disapproval in Hua Nongying's eyes. She took a deep breath and smiled lightly. "If I'm not afraid, why should you be? I've already said that I trust you. Don't you trust yourself? You've spent your whole life studying medicine; don't you want to take this opportunity to challenge your limits? Wouldn't it be a pity to back down now?"
Her four rhetorical questions left the doctor speechless.
Indeed, this surgery was extremely challenging.
If successful, it would be a milestone in his medical career; even if he were to die the next moment, he would feel fulfilled.
Looking at the resolute Ma Lele, the doctor finally nodded. "I'll do it!"
"Don't worry, I won't have any issues!" Ma Lele continuously reassured, glancing at Hua Nongying, who had turned pale. One hand rested on her abdomen, her face adorned with a gentle smile.
Child, I believe in you, so please believe in your mother; you will be fine, absolutely!
It was late at night, and the moonlight was clear and softly glowing.
In a room of the inn, a woman sat alone at the table, her cold and stunning face devoid of any expression.
She held a teacup in one hand while the other hand continuously traced circles on the table.
Calculating the days, it was about time!
At that moment, a faint sound came from behind her; a man had quietly stood behind her.
The woman slowly turned around, revealing a stunningly beautiful face. She was indeed beautiful, but her cold demeanor made it hard for anyone to approach her.
The man was momentarily taken aback, feeling dry and parched. Noticing the impatience in the woman's eyes, he said, "My master asked me to convey some matters to you. He has written them down on this note. After you read it, please burn it quickly! Also, my master wants to know if you are prepared since this is already the territory of Dayue."
After speaking, he handed a note to the woman in front of him. She gracefully accepted it with a finger as white as jade, causing him to catch his breath again.
"I have already been informed of everything I need to pay attention to. Why ask if I am prepared? Hmph..." The corners of the woman's lips curled into a cold smile, and her eyes were filled with disdain.
The man stiffened slightly, standing there at a loss for words.
"Alright, you can go back now! Tell my master that I understand!" Seeing him standing there looking bewildered, the woman's expression softened a bit, and her voice became much gentler.
The man nodded and leaped down from the window.
However, moments later, commotion erupted downstairs. "Catch the assassin..." It turned out that right below Jie Yu was the place where treasures were guarded. The man had been spotted by the night watchmen as he left that area, prompting them to shout immediately.
Jie Yu felt a twist in her heart; at that moment, there was nothing she could do but stay inside her room.
The young master shouldn't be that foolish to expose himself...
Thinking of this, her tense heart relaxed considerably. She leisurely sipped her tea, feeling quite at ease.
The sounds of fighting downstairs grew more intense, and after a while, the commotion suddenly ceased.
A smile crept onto her lips as she stood up to extinguish the candle on the table, preparing to rest.
At that moment, a voice echoed from the doorway, warm and gentle like jade. "Miss Jie Yu, did the assassin hurt you?"
Jie Yu stepped forward and pulled open the door, her brows and eyes filled with coldness. "No. Did they capture the assassin?"
Wen Shaojun nodded. "They did. Since you are unharmed, I won't disturb your rest." With that, he nodded to Jie Yu and turned to leave.
That night, the mysterious man who had been captured and refused to say anything was guarded by dozens of people in a guest room. Just as dawn approached, he suddenly collapsed and died in front of everyone!
When Wen Shaojun arrived, the man showed no signs of injury or poisoning.
Who could be so formidable?
He frowned slightly, recalling the figure dressed in white like snow, a hint of suspicion appearing in his eyes.
Just then, a cold voice sounded behind him. "Wen Chancellor, are we ready to depart?"
Wen Shaojun quickly regained his composure and nodded, "It's ready! Everyone prepare to set off!"
As the translucent insect slowly crawled into Ma Lele's nostril, she felt only one thing: she could barely breathe. At that moment, the doctor had already set up a roasting stove beside her, with a large medicinal pot placed on top. Soon, a strong medicinal aroma filled the room.
The insect, sensing the scent of the medicine, became extremely excited and immediately burrowed deeper into her nasal cavity.
"Ah..." Ma Lele rolled on the ground in discomfort, letting out a piercing scream. It felt as if her entire body was being pricked by needles, with pain spreading throughout her.
What was even more unbearable was the alternating sensations of extreme cold and heat.
When it was cold, it felt like being trapped in an icy abyss.
When it was hot, it felt as if she were being roasted over a blazing fire.
Before long, she was drenched in sweat, rolling on the ground with a pained expression.
"Help me... I'm so uncomfortable..." Ma Lele kept shouting from the ground, her pupils dilated and her expression twisted in agony.
Hua Nongying, unable to bear watching any longer, tried several times to pull her up but was stopped by the Old Doctor.
"This is just the first stage; she will suffer even more in the second stage. If she can't endure this now, there's no way she'll survive the second stage!" The doctor said regretfully, although he admired the woman's courage.
