The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 1185 - 273: 60% Confidence_2
Chapter 1185: Chapter 273: 60% Confidence_2
Mo Heng held her hand, "Let’s give it a try! In such a vast world, there are wonders beyond our wildest dreams. Haven’t you said that the real masters are among the people?"
Could her body still withstand a trial...? Pei Qin looked at Ji Bingchu.
"Doctor Hua just arrived in Capital Jingcheng today. I’ll bring him to see you tomorrow," Ji Bingchu said.
"Good." If it was possible, she would naturally be willing to try!
Jiujiu heard there was a Divine Doctor coming, and her hopes were kindled. That night, she didn’t horse around with Xixi and went to sleep early in her own room.
Mo Heng put out the light and got into bed, pulling her into his arms to hold her.
Pei Qin lay with her eyes open, staring at the ceiling in the dark night, and poked the person beside her.
Mo Heng thought he was holding her too tightly and shifted to let her lie more comfortably.
"If it really can be cured, let’s have two more children! When we’re old, there will always be someone reliable!" Pei Qin spoke to him.
Mo Heng’s breath caught, and he wrapped her entirely in his arms, "Having many children doesn’t guarantee reliability! The only reliable one is me!"
Pei Qin’s mouth twitched.
"Children are like creditors coming to collect debts. How much do you think we owed in our past lives?" Mo Heng asked her.
Pei Qin raised her hand to touch her chin, "I shouldn’t have any debts! If anyone owes, it must be you!"
Mo Heng kissed her forehead gently, "I only owe you."
"So cheesy!" Pei Qin turned over to show him her back, "Sleep!"
Mo Heng moved closer, holding her tightly and pulling the quilt over them. He listened to her breathing become steady within his embrace and fall into a deep sleep. He looked at her, sleepless. Qinqin! We need a child to save you! No matter the cost, I will save you!
The next day, Pei Qin woke up early. She had arranged for work at the Manufacturing Bureau to be handled by Xiao Yong, so she waited at home for Ji Bingchu.
Ji Bingchu arrived with Doctor Hua.
Pei Qin remembered that the doctor’s surname was Hua, which should mean he had some relation to the legendary Divine Doctor Hua Tuo. But when she saw him, she stiffened, "Ji Bingchu..." Such a big and tall middle-aged man, how could he look like a Divine Doctor!? He looked more like a damn martial artist!
"This is Doctor Hua, skilled in both healing and poisons!" Ji Bingchu introduced him with rare seriousness.
Mo Heng greeted him first.
Seeing his politeness, Pei Qin also set aside her disdain and greeted the doctor.
Doctor Hua’s voice matched his presence, deep and magnetic, "Let’s have a look at Madam Pei first."
Pei Qin sat down and extended her hand.
After carefully examining both wrists, Doctor Hua furrowed his brows, "There’s a sixty percent chance."
"A sixty percent chance is already quite high," Pei Qin was very optimistic.
Mo Heng’s heart, however, sank a little. Only sixty percent...
Ji Bingchu tasked Doctor Hua with considering the prescription carefully. With such a low probability, and gambling with Pei Qin’s life at stake, Mo Heng needed to think it through. If they didn’t try, she might have another two or three years, but if it failed... and if it was successful, Pei Qin could gain an extra twenty years of life.
Pei Qin wanted to attempt the treatment. Seeing Mo Heng’s not-so-pleased expression, she nudged him, "I know the process could be somewhat uncomfortable, even painful. But there’s a sixty percent chance!"
Mo Heng looked up at her. Yes! A sixty percent chance. He had a sixty percent chance to save Qinqin! Even a ten percent chance was worth trying, let alone sixty!
His hand hidden in the sleeve clenched tightly, and he looked at her and nodded, "Okay." A soft "okay" placed his entire bet on her and himself.
Doctor Hua prescribed the medicine, which included both baths and oral intake.
Pei Qin started her nightly medicinal baths, drinking medicine three times a day. The pungent smell of herbs was making her dizzy. Getting out of the bath, she cursed continuously, "I might as well fucking do IVF!" Those people who complain about IVF being uncomfortable and tormenting, she now had a feeling of wanting to die, and it was growing stronger.
Mo Heng laughed as he brought in clean water to rinse her, "Come out after you finish pouring the water, don’t catch a cold or you’ll have to stop the medicine."
Pei Qin’s mouth stiffened, and she shrugged her shoulders over to rinse off.
Jun Suxue happily varied the food every day to suit Pei Qin’s taste. The General had found a Divine Doctor, and if he could cure her, to have another pregnancy, even if just one son, would put an end to those calculations!
Xie Yi saw her so delighted and thought it was abnormal, "Madam has started her medication, and you look happier than Pei Yuan and the others!"
"Yes! Aren’t you happy?" Jun Suxue retorted.
Xie Yi quickly shook her head, "I’m also happy for Madam." If Pei Qin could bear a child, Mo Heng might not be as quick to let his thoughts drift to others. And if she really gave birth to a son, her position would be even more secure.
Just as she was feeling troubled and thinking of a plan, she overheard two distinct-looking maidservants talking about arranging a concubine to serve Mo Heng once Pei Qin was pregnant. She suddenly realized what was making Jun Suxue so happy. Pei Qin had shown her some kindness, so she was just glad she could enjoy the prosperity by becoming Mo Heng’s consort. Mo Heng was indifferent and cold to her, and since he only slept with Pei Qin, she had no chance. Once Pei Qin was pregnant, Mo Heng surely wouldn’t continue to have a mistress in his arms without being seduced.
