Chapter 933 -933 At this moment, he is utterly defeated
He glanced over, and then he lost all his courage. He lowered his head, his hands trembling continuously.
In his eyes was an endless depth, and an endless despair…
The corridor was plunged into silence at this time; he could even hear his own rapid heartbeat and irregular breathing.
He turned his head, and it felt as though the whole world had collapsed.
The spot over his heart hurt constantly, and he would rather the pain be on himself, but… it was this little one, the size of Douding, who was hurt.
He leaned against the doorframe, feeling powerless and pained for the first time.
Doctor Li, holding the files, stepped forward: “Mr. Shen, don’t you plan to go in and have a look? If not, we…”
She did not continue, knowing Shen Chi was a smart man and would understand what she was about to say next.
“Call Butler Ling.” Shen Chi tried hard to control his emotions, his voice low and filled with sorrow.
“Okay.”
The female doctor took out her phone and dialed Butler Ling’s number, speaking in a hushed tone.
After a few words, Butler Ling hurried over, followed by the little maid, Yunyun.
“Four… Fourth Young Master…” Butler Ling’s voice trembled, she couldn’t believe it.
“The child has a high fever, the situation is very serious, and then… so, I’m sorry.” Doctor Li lowered her head.
“Go in… and have a look.” Shen Chi’s voice was deep.
He hung his head, one hand braced against the doorframe, with such intense pain in his chest that he felt absolutely defeated at this moment.
Now, he didn’t even have the courage to take a look inside, afraid to see a child who should be lively and bouncing, lying on the cold operating table.
Butler Ling nodded: “Okay… Fourth Young Master, I’ll go in.”
Butler Ling covered her face, afraid she might not control herself and start crying. She saw that Shen Chi’s eyes had already turned red.

She went in, Yunyun followed her.
Less than a minute later, Butler Ling couldn’t hold it in anymore and cried, tears falling continuously.
“Fourth Young Master… try to think positively,” Butler Ling said through sobs.
Yunyun cried behind her, while Doctor Li shook her head, feeling helpless.
After regaining control of his emotions, Shen Chi said nothing, merely bowed his head in silence.
“Fourth Young Master…” Butler Ling choked up, not knowing what to say.
“I am fine, I can handle this.” Shen Chi steadied his emotions and calmly said.
“What about Lady Chaomu…”
“No more words.”
“Okay, I understand.” Butler Ling nodded in agreement.
She glanced at the doctor, who quickly said, “We will keep the secret as well.”
“Butler, I leave this place to you, I am going out for some air.” Shen Chi said.
His voice was indifferent and hoarse, sounding especially detached in the silent corridor.
“Ah, okay,” Butler Ling replied.
Her heart felt as if pierced by a needle. This matter was too cruel; she knew the Fourth Young Master would not be able to stay calm, let alone Xu Chaomu.
Xu Chaomu had been so looking forward to this child, she knew that; even she herself had been excited…
But now… this disaster, no one wished for it.
“Don’t be too upset.” The doctor consoled, “I see both your master and mistress are very young; having another child should be expected soon. Fortunately, the mother is in good health. With careful attention, there should be no problems.”
“Doctor, what exactly happened to the child?” Butler Ling asked anxiously.
When she received the phone call, she completely broke down and didn’t have time to ask for details.
“High fever, brain and heart were stimulated, resuscitation was ineffective,” Dr. Li said.
“Why would there be a sudden high fever?”
“That’s related to each child’s physical constitution. However, high fever is very common, and this child was a preterm baby with weak resistance, which is normal,” Dr. Li sighed.
“I understand.”
“You should go home and try to console your master and mistress, tell them not to be too sad. To put it bluntly… just consider it a miscarriage.”
The butler knew the doctor was trying to comfort her. She nodded silently, not saying anything more.
For a moment, the corridor was filled with silence.
After a while, the butler spoke again, puzzled, “Doctor, where are the specialists that our family’s Fourth Young Master hired?”
“It all happened so suddenly, I did not even have time to call them, and the child has already…” Dr. Li’s voice choked up, and he lowered his head.
“I understand,” the butler said, not knowing what else to say.
She looked ahead, saw Shen Chi leaning against the wall of the corridor, staggering forward.
Seeing Shen Chi like this, the butler felt a deep, piercing pain in her heart…
“Please come with me,” Dr. Li said to the butler.
The butler didn’t refuse, took one more pained look at Shen Chi, and then followed the doctor into the operating room.
Shen Chi kept walking along the corridor. He dared not go back to the room; he was afraid Xu Chaomu might have already woken up…
This sense of despair had only occurred once before, five years ago, upon seeing that white skeleton. Now, after five years, that feeling had come back intensely.
Shen Chi found a quiet and dark corner, leaned his back against the wall, and stood there in despair.
The wall was very cold, but he couldn’t feel it at all; when he closed his eyes, all he could see was Xu Chaomu’s pure face.
Xu Chaomu’s attachment to the child must have been even deeper than his; after all, the little one had stayed in her belly for seven months, day and night.
Now that the child was suddenly gone, how was he to tell her, how was he to say it…
He leaned against the wall, closed his eyes in anguish, and the dim corner had not a single ray of light.
Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, streaking down his face line by line…
Only in such moments would he allow himself to cry, and at this moment, he was completely defeated.
Time ticked away, and before long, it shifted from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m.
Daylight comes late in winter, and at 5 a.m., it was still pitch dark outside.
Shen Chi had been standing outside all this time, silent.
The cold was biting his face and body, but he was numb to it, unable to feel the chill of the late winter night because his heart was even colder.
By 5:30 in the morning, he was still standing there, his body ice-cold.
The traces of his tears had dried, and at times like this, he would rather bear the suffering alone; he did not want Xu Chaomu to know…
But such things can’t be concealed forever, and he didn’t know how long he could keep it hidden.
By 6 a.m., the hospital grew busier, and the noise around him increased.
Shen Chi had never thought there would come a day when he’d have to hide, shrouding himself in a dark corner.
Despair, pain, and loneliness enveloped him deeply…
The hospital grew increasingly crowded, and gradually, many people made their way to the second floor.
Shen Chi did not return to his room the entire night after learning of the incident; he was afraid to see Xu Chaomu’s face.
But, if he couldn’t calm himself, how was he to console her?
