That day, during a break from rehearsals, several young actors gathered together to chat.

"Have you heard? Mr. Xiao from Yu Xueqing has found a new girlfriend. She's only nineteen and a model."

"Really? Isn't Mr. Xiao always single?"

"It's true! My best friend works at an advertising company. She said that the model often went to Yuxueqing to shoot commercials, and that's how she and President Xiao got together."

Nineteen years old... younger than us. What do you look like?

"I heard she's quite pretty, and the key thing is..." the speaker lowered his voice, "she looks a bit like our Commander Han when he was young."

Han Ling, who happened to be passing by, overheard these words.

She paused, stopping in her tracks.

The actors immediately shut up when they saw Han Ling, and then dispersed.

Han Ling stood there, her mind buzzing.

Xiao Ran has a new girlfriend? Nineteen years old? A model? And... she looks like me?

Han Ling didn't know how she got back to her office.

I closed the door, sat down in the chair, and my hands started trembling uncontrollably.

I can't quite describe the feeling... There's bitterness, relief, and an indescribable sense of loss.

What's heartbreaking is that the man who once said he would love her for a lifetime has found a new love so quickly.

Thankfully, Xiao Ran has finally moved on and no longer needs to suffer for herself.

The disappointment is... it's truly over between the two of them.

There's no going back now.

Han Ling picked up her phone, intending to call Xiao Ran.

But he deleted the number halfway through dialing.

What should I say when I call? Congratulate you? Or question why you chose someone like me?
It's all meaningless now.

Han Ling put down her phone, buried her face in her arms on the table, and tears streamed down her face silently.

After crying for a long time, I raised my head again and wiped away my tears.

Since Xiao Ran has already moved forward, she can't stay where she is.

I now own Suning, have a business, and have a song and dance troupe.

Moreover, she will have children of her own, her children with Suning.

Han Ling's heart tightened at the thought of her child.

I've been bothering Suning for almost two months now, practically pestering them every day to calculate my ovulation period and try all sorts of methods.

But there was no sign of pregnancy in her stomach.

At first, Han Ling thought it was because the time hadn't come yet, or because she was too nervous.

But now Huang Yunyun's belly is showing, while she still hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy.

A terrible thought suddenly popped into my head: Could there be something wrong with my body?

I couldn't help but recall a few years ago when I was with Xiao Ran and I had an unexpected pregnancy.

At that time, they were both young and couldn't afford to have children, so they went to the hospital for surgery.

The surgery was performed at a small clinic in Shenzhen, where the conditions were very poor.

After the procedure, Han Ling bled a lot and had abdominal pain for a long time. Sometimes she had to take painkillers to relieve the pain, and it took her half a month to recover.

The doctor said at the time, "The surgery was successful, but you need to be careful when you have children in the future."

Han Ling didn't take it seriously, thinking that she was young and would recover quickly.

Looking back now...

Han Ling couldn't sit still any longer.

She quickly grabbed her bag and drove to the best obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Shenzhen.

Register, queue, get checked.

Throughout the process, Han Ling suddenly became so nervous that her palms were sweaty.

"Doctor, I...I had an abortion before. Will that affect my ability to get pregnant?"

The doctor looked at the medical record and asked, "When was this done?"

More than four years ago.

How was your recovery after the surgery?

"I bled quite a lot and had abdominal pain for a long time. I had to take painkillers when it was at its worst, but it gradually got better later."

The doctor nodded. "Let's do some tests first! Ultrasound, hormone panel, and hysterosalpingography."

Three days later, Han Ling came to pick up the test results.

The atmosphere in the doctor's office was somber.

"Ms. Han, your test results are in." The doctor adjusted his glasses. "The situation... is not very optimistic."

Han Ling's heart sank to the bottom. "What do you mean?"

"Your fallopian tubes have severe adhesions; the left one is completely blocked, and the right one is partially blocked. Your endometrium is also damaged," the doctor said, pointing to the ultrasound images. "These are all related to your last surgery. It seems the surgery wasn't done properly, leaving behind aftereffects."

"Then...can I still get pregnant?" Han Ling's voice trembled.

The doctor paused for a few seconds, then said, "The chances of conceiving naturally are very low. I recommend IVF, but the success rate isn't high either, because the uterine lining environment is unsuitable."

"How low are the odds?"

"The success rate of natural conception is probably less than five percent. The success rate of IVF is about twenty to thirty percent on the first try. Moreover, even if you get pregnant, the risk of miscarriage is very high due to endometrial problems."

Han Ling's mind went blank, and her vision went black.

Luckily, I managed to grab the corner of the table and didn't fall over.

"Doctor, are you...are you sure? Could there be a mistake in the test?"

"The test results are very clear." The doctor looked at her sympathetically. "Ms. Han, you are still young. You can consider in vitro fertilization. With a few more attempts, there may be a chance."

"Then...what if we have surgery? To unblock the fallopian tubes and repair the uterine lining?"

"It can be done, but the effect is limited. Moreover, the surgery itself carries risks and may cause new damage."

Han Ling didn't know how she got out of the hospital.

She sat in the car, gripping the steering wheel, her hands trembling violently.

Five percent.

The chance is less than five percent.

In other words, she may never be able to conceive again in her lifetime.

Huang Yunyun is pregnant and is happily waiting to become a mother.

But Han Ling...

Han Ling suddenly slumped over the steering wheel and burst into tears.

She cried, realizing how foolish she had been to have surgery at such a small clinic.

She cried out against the injustice of fate, wondering why it had to be her, Han Ling.

We cry for the child who hasn't arrived yet, and may never arrive.

She was young and naive, why did she choose such a worthless love in the first place, only to end up in this tragic situation.

If I had chosen Suning back then, even if he hadn't married me, he would have treated me well.

Han Ling cried for a long time before she slowly stopped.

Looking out the car window at the people coming and going, I suddenly felt that this world was very unfamiliar.

They have a career, money, and status.

But she lost the right to be a mother.

And Xiao Ran? He has a new love and a new life.

She herself was like a clown, trapped in the mistakes of the past, never to escape.

Han Ling started the car, but didn't return to the dance troupe or go home.

She went to Suning's villa.

Su Ning had just returned from a meeting when she saw Han Ling walk in with red and swollen eyes. She was startled and asked, "What happened? What's wrong?"

“Su Ning…” Han Ling began, tears welling up in her eyes again, “I…I might not be able to have children.”

"what?"

Han Ling handed the examination report to Su Ning and tearfully recounted the situation.

Suning frowned deeply after reading the report.

"The doctor said... the doctor said the chances of conceiving naturally are less than five percent." Han Ling choked up. "Su Ning, what should I do? I want a child, I really want one..."

Seeing Han Ling's breakdown, Su Ning felt terrible.

I did think that Han Ling's decision to have a child was impulsive, but I never expected it to end in such a tragic way.

Su Ning didn't ask Han Ling when she had the abortion, because that question was simply too stupid.

"Don't worry," Su Ning said, pulling Han Ling down to sit and comforting her. "Medical science is so advanced now, there's always a way. If IVF doesn't work, we can use surrogacy. If it's not allowed in China, we can go abroad. There's always a way."

"But...but is that still my child?" Han Ling shook her head. "I want to conceive and give birth myself..."

“Then we’ll get treatment,” Su Ning said. “If Shenzhen can’t cure it, we’ll go to Beijing, Shanghai, or even abroad. We’ll find the best doctors and use the best technology. As long as there’s a glimmer of hope, we’ll try.”

These words made Han Ling feel a little better.

At least, Su Ning didn't look down on her because she couldn't have children; instead, he tried to find a solution.

"Su Ning, you...you won't abandon me, will you?" Han Ling suddenly asked cautiously.

"Don't talk nonsense." Su Ning patted Han Ling's hand. "The baby is important, but you are more important. Take care of your health first, and we'll take care of the rest later."

"Mmm..." Han Ling leaned on his shoulder, tears streaming down her face again.

But this time, the tears were tears of emotion.

Han Ling suddenly felt that she was really lucky...

Although she lost the opportunity to become a mother, at least she still has Suning.

This is the man who gave her a stage, gave her a career, and is now supporting her during her most vulnerable time.

Perhaps, this is fate!

She lost Xiao Ran's love and her child, but gained Su Ning's love.

Perhaps this is the nature of gaining and losing.

But this loss is too painful.

That night, Han Ling lay down next to Su Ning, touching her flat stomach, feeling empty inside.

She thought of Huang Yunyun, and that little life that was slowly growing up.

Then I thought of Xiao Ran, and that nineteen-year-old girl who looked just like her.

Finally, Han Ling closed her eyes.

Let bygones be bygones.

Now, she wants to cherish what she has.

Although not being able to have children is indeed a lifelong regret.

But at least she still has her career and Suning.

The poor woman in the room, after yet another blow, finally learned to accept reality.

Although this reality is cruel.

But this is something no one can blame but herself for being too naive back then.

However, Han Ling is not the first woman in this world to suffer a loss, nor will she be the last.

Three days after Han Ling returned from the hospital, she was still listless.

She had no interest in the song and dance troupe; she skipped rehearsals, ignored performance schedules, and spent all her time locked up at home.

Yang Ru called Su Ning to remind her, "President Su, Commander Han's condition is not good. She was supposed to have an important meeting today, but she didn't come."

"I understand." Su Ning hung up the phone.

After thinking for a moment, Su Ning picked up her phone and dialed a number.

"Afu, please have Dr. Hua come to my office."

"clear."

Half an hour later, an elderly man in a white coat walked into Suning's office.

He looked to be in his sixties, with a refined and scholarly demeanor, much like a specialist from a major hospital.

But in reality, he wasn't human at all.

He is Hua Rui – an advanced medical AI robot brought by Suning from the space world.

He cured Huang Yunyun's stutter.

"President Su, you wanted to see me?" Hua Rui's voice was gentle yet professional.

No one would have guessed that he was not human; he was no different from a normal person.

"You know about Han Ling's situation, right?" Su Ning asked.

"Understood. Fallopian tube adhesions and endometrial damage reduce the chance of natural conception to less than five percent." Hua Rui's data processing system had already synchronized all the information.

Can it be cured?

Hua Rui's face remained expressionless. "From a medical perspective, her condition is indeed very challenging. Traditional surgery carries high risks and has limited effectiveness. However, if we use the regenerative repair technology I have mastered, the success rate is over 85%."

“Then let’s treat it.” Su Ning made the decision. “Make a list of what equipment and materials are needed, and I’ll have Afu go to the space world to prepare them.”

“It requires a sterile operating room, a set of minimally invasive surgical equipment, and some special biological materials,” Hua Rui said. “The surgery will take about three hours, and the recovery period will be one month. If everything goes smoothly, she can start trying to conceive normally after three months.”

"Great! Let's just set up a high-end private hospital. That way we won't waste resources, and safety will be our top priority."

"clear."

……

The next day, Su Ning went to find Han Ling.

Han Ling was still lying in bed at this time, her eyes swollen like walnuts.

Seeing Su Ning enter, she struggled to get up, wanting to rise and greet her man.

"Lie down!" Su Ning sat down on the edge of the bed. "I found a doctor who said your condition is treatable."

"What kind of doctor?" Han Ling smiled bitterly. "I've been to the best hospitals in Shenzhen, and they all said they weren't sure."

“This doctor is different,” Su Ning said. “You remember Huang Yunyun’s stutter, right? He’s the one who cured her.”

Han Ling was stunned. "That...that old Chinese medicine doctor?"

“Yes. He actually has family-inherited medical skills, combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and has his own unique formulas.” Su Ning continued to fabricate, “I didn’t tell you before because I thought it was unnecessary. But now that you’re in this situation, you have no choice but to ask him for help.”

"Really... really can it cure it?" Han Ling's eyes lit up.

He said the success rate was over 85%.

"Eighty-five percent?!" Han Ling sat up abruptly. "That high? Which hospital has such skilled doctors?"

“He’s not from a hospital, he’s a private doctor, and he doesn’t usually see patients,” Su Ning said. “I have some connections with him, which is why he was willing to treat me. But there’s one condition—the treatment process must be kept confidential, and you can’t tell anyone.”

"I promise I won't tell!" Han Ling grabbed Su Ning's hand excitedly. "As long as it can be cured, I'll agree to any condition!"

"Alright! Wait patiently for a few more days, and while you're at it, invest in a high-end private hospital. This can be considered as an attempt by Shenzhen and Hong Kong to enter the medical industry."

"Okay! Okay! I'll follow your arrangements."

"Alright! Cheer up, there's an 85% chance it can be cured."

Ok.

Next, Afu and Huarui searched everywhere for a suitable hospital location.

They eventually selected an idle building in the city center, complete with parking spaces and an underground garage.

Moreover, the price was very reasonable, so Suning simply let Afu buy it to avoid being evicted by the landlord in the future.

I heard that Li Yapeng's Yanran Hospital also encountered this bizarre problem, and rent increases can be said to be entirely up to the landlord.

Getting back to the main point, the hospital then immediately began installing equipment and recruiting doctors and nurses.

That day, Han Ling followed Su Ning to the hospital.

Han Ling was wheeled into a standard sterile operating room equipped with the world's most advanced equipment.

The attending physician, Hua Rui, was already waiting at the door, wearing surgical scrubs and a mask.

"Ms. Han, please change your clothes. We are preparing for surgery."

Looking at the refined and cultured old Chinese medicine doctor in front of her, Han Ling still had doubts, but more than anything, she felt hope.

She changed into surgical scrubs and lay down on the operating table.

"It will hurt a little, I'll have the anesthesiologist give you anesthesia." Hua Rui's voice was very gentle.

"Thank you!"

The anesthesiologist immediately stepped forward, inserted the needle into her arm, and Han Ling quickly lost consciousness.

In the operating room, a faint blue light flashed in Hua Rui's eyes as he performed precise calculations.

The robotic arm extends from under the white coat and begins operation.

Minimally invasive surgical instruments are inserted through natural cavities and, under the precise control of AI, gradually separate adhered tissues and repair the damaged endometrium.

Special biomaterials are implanted to promote tissue regeneration.

Throughout the process, various types of data flowed within Huarui's system...

Blood pressure, heart rate, tissue condition, repair progress...

The surgery ended three hours later.

Hua Rui injected Han Ling with medication to promote recovery, and then walked out of the operating room.

"Ms. Su, the surgery was a success," Hua Rui said to Su Ning, who was waiting outside. "The recovery is even better than expected. A follow-up check-up in a month is recommended; if the recovery is good, you can start trying to conceive."

"Thank you for your hard work." Su Ning nodded.

“Of course.” Hua Rui paused. “However, Mr. Su, there’s something I need to remind you of—Ms. Han’s mental state is very important. She’s too anxious and tense right now, which is not good for her recovery, nor for her future pregnancies.”

"I understand, I will try my best to comfort her."

"President Su, if you had been more domineering back then, perhaps she wouldn't be suffering like this today."

"Yes! We always thought we had given her the freedom to choose, but little did we know that she had chosen a bottomless abyss."

After Hua Rui left, Suning went into the recovery room.

Han Ling had woken up, but the anesthesia hadn't completely worn off, and her eyes were a little dazed and confused.

"Su Ning...is the surgery over?"

"It's done, and it was very successful." Su Ning sat down on the edge of the bed. "The doctor said that I should have a follow-up check-up in a month. If there are no problems, I can start trying to conceive in three months."

"Really?" Han Ling's eyes lit up immediately. "You're not lying to me?"

"I'm not lying to you."

Han Ling's tears streamed down her face. "Thank you... thank you, Su Ning... you saved me again..."

"Don't cry, you need to take good care of yourself now." Su Ning wiped away her tears. "The doctor said that your mood is very important. You can't be gloomy all the time. You need to relax and be happy. That way your body will recover faster."

"Yes! I'll be good!" Han Ling nodded vigorously. "I will take good care of myself and I will not let you down!"

"I will spend more time with you in the future."

"Ah."

From that day on, Han Ling moved into Suning's villa.

Hua Rui comes to check on Han Ling's health every day and adjusts her medication.

Afu arranged for a housekeeping AI robot to take care of Han Ling's meals, which were all prepared according to the nutritional formula prescribed by Hua Rui.

Han Ling was very obedient; she ate whatever she was told to eat and did whatever exercise she was told to do.

Thanks to Suning's companionship and comforting words, my mood has improved a lot...

With hope, people have spirit.

A week later, Han Ling was able to get out of bed and walk around.

"Su Ning, who exactly is Dr. Hua?" Han Ling couldn't help but ask during dinner one day. "His medical skills are amazing. Huang Yunyun's stutter and my body seem to be no problem for him."

“It’s his family’s traditional medical skills, plus the result of his lifelong research.” Su Ning had already prepared his explanation. “He doesn’t like to show off, and he doesn’t care about money. He only cares about fate when it comes to treating patients.”

"Then we really are destined to meet," Han Ling exclaimed. "If you hadn't known him, I might have..."

"Isn't it cured now?" Su Ning interrupted her. "Don't think about those useless things, just focus on getting better."

"Hmm! You really want to open a hospital?"

"Yes, the hospital name has already been registered; it will be called Qingnang Hospital."

"What? Dr. Hua's surname is Hua. Could he be a descendant of Hua Tuo?"

"Who knows! Maybe he himself can't explain it clearly."

Another week passed, and Han Ling went to the hospital for a follow-up examination.

The doctor stared wide-eyed at the new ultrasound report. "Ms. Han, your recovery is amazing! Your fallopian tubes are open, and your endometrial thickness is normal! How... how did you do that?"

"Just take the medicine as prescribed and take care of yourself," Han Ling said, following Su Ning's instructions.

"What kind of medicine is so miraculous?" the doctor pressed. "Could you show me the prescription? It would be incredibly helpful for our clinical treatment!"

"I'm sorry, it's a family secret recipe, and it's not shared with outsiders."

The doctor was disappointed, but there was nothing he could do.

He kept repeating, "A miracle, a true miracle!"

After leaving the hospital, Han Ling sat in the car, touched her lower abdomen, and smiled.

She was truly cured, and she had the chance to become a mother again.

All of this was given to me by Suning.

Han Ling took out her phone and texted Su Ning, "Su Ning, the follow-up examination results are very good. The doctor said that we can start trying to conceive in two months."

Soon, the reply came: "Okay, continue the treatment."

Han Ling looked at those five simple words and felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

This man always appears when she needs him most.

They gave her a stage, a career, and now they've given her the hope of becoming a mother.

Han Ling suddenly felt that the pain and regrets she had experienced before were no longer important.

The important thing is the present and the future.

She has her own Suning business, and she'll soon have a child.

This is the life I want.

As the car drove towards the villa, Han Ling looked out the window at Shenzhen and felt that the city had never been so beautiful.

Meanwhile, in the operating room of Qingnang Hospital, Hua Rui was organizing the surgical data.

Data streams flashed rapidly in his eyes.

[Repair completion rate: 92%. Estimated full recovery time: 56 days. Natural conception success rate: 78%.]
