In the hospital, in the office.

Nan Shu gripped the diagnosis report so tightly that her fingers turned white.

The words "rare blood disease" felt like a red-hot branding iron, burning Nan Shu's eyes with pain.

Her poop is still so small...

"The patient's condition is critical, and conventional treatments have limited effectiveness." The doctor adjusted his glasses, his tone grave. "From a medical perspective, the best option is embryonic stem cell transplantation. This would require you and your spouse to have another child, using stem cells from the newborn..."

"no."

Before she could finish speaking, Nan Shu suddenly looked up, her face pale, and interrupted the doctor's advice.

After her divorce, she unexpectedly became pregnant with Chen Enci. She wanted to end her life, but Chen Jingyan took her in when she was at her most desperate.

Therefore, apart from the couple, no one else knew the truth about the child.

If Qi Yuye finds out about the child's existence, he will definitely not let her and the child go.

What he hates most is being deceived...

Nan Shu's voice trembled, but it carried an undeniable determination: "Doctor, let's try a different approach. No matter how difficult it is or how much it costs, I'll accept it."

Chen Jingyan didn't say anything, but quietly moved half a step closer to Nan Shu to shield her from the cold wind outside the door.

The doctor nodded and professionally handed over another document. "Then let's start with chemotherapy to stabilize the condition, and then wait for a suitable bone marrow match. However, chemotherapy is very damaging to the child's body, and the cost is also..."

"I'll take care of the money," Chen Jingyan replied.

Upon hearing this, Nan Shu couldn't help but tear up.

Chen Jingyan is always like this; when she is driven to the brink by life, he shields her from all the storms.

……

While Nan Shu was with her child, her eyes red with tears, Old Madam Chen also heard the news and rushed to the hospital.

"What a debt collector! How much will this hospitalization and chemotherapy cost? The Chen family is in such a state; they can't afford this..."

The words were harsh, but Nan Shu remained silent as she looked at the thermos in Old Madam Chen's hand.

She knew that although the old lady complained about the trouble, she secretly doted on Hmm.

Chen Jingyan had just finished paying the fees and arrived at the ward door when the old lady pulled him to the corner of the corridor.

"Jingyan, are you going to divorce Nan Shu or not? With her standing here, what if Qi Yuye gets angry and the cooperation falls through? If the company collapses, you and your grandson will starve!"

As she spoke, the old lady deliberately lowered her voice, her tone urgent yet tinged with disappointment.

Chen Jingyan frowned, knowing he couldn't persuade his mother, and said helplessly, "Mom, Enen's illness is the priority now, we can talk about the rest later."

"The future? The company won't even exist anymore, what's the point of talking about the future!"

The old lady stamped her feet in frustration, "I don't care! If you don't divorce me, it means you don't want me as your mother anymore!"

"mom--"

Chen Jingyan sighed, "Before we got married, I was afraid that Xiaoshu would have regrets, so I went to find Qi Yuye for her."

On the other side of the corner, Nan Shu, who heard the sound, stood there stunned.

Chen Jingyan was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "He said that Nan Shu was nothing more than a plaything, to be discarded once she was tired of it. No one would care about a used item."

It seems quite normal for a pampered and aloof heir of a wealthy family to utter such cold-hearted words.

After all, in that position, love and romance are the least important things.

Old Mrs. Chen on the other side of the corner finally stopped talking.

Nan Shu subconsciously took a step back, her face pale, and turned to hide in the stairwell.

Four years ago, on that rainy night when they divorced, Qi Yuye grabbed her chin and threatened her.

He said, "Nan Shu, think it through. Once you sign this, it will be too late to regret it later."

The day after her divorce, she was cornered in an alley by the Qi family's bodyguards. Blood flowed down her trouser leg, staining the rainwater on the ground red.

She was terrified and desperately cried for help, but all she heard was the bodyguard say...

"Young Master Qi said that those who disobey will have to pay the price."

It was at that moment that Nan Shu understood Qi Yuye's ruthlessness.

She never received any special treatment from him.

Nan Shu took a deep breath and was about to leave when she was bumped into by a small figure.

"I'm sorry, Auntie!"

The little girl looked about five or six years old, with two pigtails. Her round face was full of apology. When she looked up at her, her eyes shone like stars. "I ran too fast and didn't see you."

Nan Shu squatted down, rubbed her head, and forced a smile.

"It's okay."

The little girl nodded and placed a piece of candy in Nan Shu's palm. "Auntie, if you eat a piece of candy, you won't be unhappy. I'm going to find my dad now."

Nan Shu felt a warmth in her heart as she watched the well-behaved and adorable little girl turn and run away to a spot not far away.

Suddenly, his heart stopped.

It is Qi Yuye.

The man was dressed in a black suit with his sleeves rolled up, revealing an expensive watch on his wrist.

Seeing the little girl rushing towards him, he reached out and caught her steadily, a faint smile in his dark eyes.

She had never seen such gentleness before.

Rumors circulate that Qi Yuye and his current wife, Lin Xi, have a child.

Nan Shu watched this scene, her heart felt like it was blocked, and she couldn't breathe.

All the bitterness that I had deliberately suppressed in my heart for many years surged up into my mind.

Many years ago, she and Qi Yuye also had a child.

She even secretly knitted little sweaters for the child, eagerly anticipating its birth. But in the end, Qi Yuye abandoned the child, and she almost lost her life.

Since then, Qi Yuye has been watching her take her medicine. Although he didn't say much, she knew he just didn't want her to have his child.

Memories flood back, but why is it that her children are both dead and ill, while Qi Yuye treats other people's children with tenderness?

This time, she will definitely protect her child.

Not far away, after noticing Nan Shu's departing figure, Qi Yute slowly raised his head.

The man stared at Nan Shu's slender back, his eyes dark and unfathomable.

Nan Shu held back her tears, but as soon as she turned around, she bumped into a warm embrace.

"Xiao Shu, what are you doing here?"

Chen Jingyan's voice was filled with worry, "I've been looking for you for a long time, worried that something had happened to you."

Nan Shu shook her head and didn't say anything.

Chen Jingyan patted her back and said softly, as if comforting a child, "Don't worry, Hmm woke up just now and asked where Mommy went. The doctor said the chemotherapy reaction today wasn't too bad, and as long as a suitable match is found, there is hope."

Just then, Chen Jingyan's phone rang.

He answered the phone, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement, "Really? You passed the initial review? That's wonderful! We're already looking for a designer. Don't worry, we'll definitely submit it on time in a week!"

This collaboration between the Chen family and Shengda is the company's only hope.

But on the design department side... Nan Shu is in charge.

Nan Shu knew that Chen Jingyan was afraid of putting her in a difficult position, which was why he found a new designer.

"Brother Jingyan."

Nan Shu pursed her lips, her eyes resolute, and said, "I'll take charge of the design drafts in collaboration with Shengda."
