A Difficult Decision

1/4/2026

I've brought so many supplements, and we have the best doctors and equipment—doesn't that count for anything?

The doctor seemed to guess what Cecilia Gu was thinking and said, "Of course, it's possible to save both the mother and the child. But the mother's body will be severely depleted, which could shorten her lifespan. Also, I've found something unusual in the mother's blood. I can't make any conclusions yet—it needs further testing. Madam, has the mother often felt dizzy before, and no matter how much she eats, she never gains weight?"

Cecilia Gu nodded, "Yes. I've always been like that."

That's why, even in her forties, Jian Xiao is as slim as a teenage girl.

The doctor sighed softly, "If I'm not mistaken, the mother took some very strong medication when she was young. I can't say for sure until the final tests are done. President Yin, Madam, I'll go run the tests now. Once the results come out, we'll have a clearer answer."

Charles Yin nodded. After letting the doctor leave, he helped Cecilia Gu sit down slowly.

"Cecilia, don't worry too much. Everything will be fine!" Charles Yin saw how anxious Cecilia was and felt a pang of sympathy. "You can trust the Yin family's medical expertise. Nothing will happen to her! And if the Yin family's resources aren't enough, there's always the Yun family, right?"

Charles Yin's words snapped Cecilia Gu out of her thoughts.

That's right—the Yun family has hundreds of years of medical texts!

She could ask the Yun family if they had a solution!

Yun Nuo was diagnosed by modern medicine as unlikely to live past sixteen, but thanks to the Yun family's care, she broke that limit and lived to twenty-one!

Maybe the Yun family has another way to completely solve Jian Xiao's problem!

At that moment, Jian Xiao came out of the room. Seeing Cecilia Gu and Charles Yin sitting together, she smiled, "Now you can relax, right?"

Cecilia Gu hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

How could she bear to let her mother, who just learned she was pregnant, barely have time to enjoy the happiness before being hit with such a blow?

How could she tell her the harsh truth?

Charles Yin reached out and held Cecilia Gu's hand to comfort her, then looked up at Jian Xiao and said, "Mom, the doctor said everything is fine. By the way, where's the child's father? Does he know about this yet?"

Charles Yin's words instantly reminded both Jian Xiao and Cecilia Gu.

That's right, this is something they should discuss with Leon Mai!
