125: Chapter 125: Stillborn 125: Chapter 125: Stillborn Given the rapid recovery of their father from cancer under Ye Qiu’s treatment, even Zhou Wenting had to believe in Ye Qiu’s miraculous medical skills. As for Wang Yulian’s condition, since it had persisted for over twenty years, it was considered a complicated case. However, no one had been able to cure it. In Ye Qiu’s view, either the doctors had not targeted the treatment correctly, or Wang Yulian’s real illness hadn’t been clearly identified. Ye Qiu continued the pulse and tongue diagnosis for Wang Yulian, and finally withdrew his hands, saying, “I must tell you some shocking news.” “Doctor Ye, what shocking news? Please don’t scare us,” Zhou Yuxia said. Hearing Ye Qiu’s tone, she thought her mother might have contracted a disease that wouldn’t allow her to live much longer. Yet, they still saw Ye Qiu’s expression as ever, neither cold nor warm. “Regarding your mother’s condition, I can confirm there is an extra mass inside her abdomen,” Ye Qiu said. An extra mass? The four sisters were even more shocked. Could this extra mass be a tumor? How else could there be an extra mass? Zhou Yuxia and her sisters, worried about alarming their mother, dared not look further, yet their eyes were full of confusion. Wang Yulian appeared very calm and asked, “Doctor Ye, do I have a tumor?” Zhou Yuxia and her sisters hadn’t expected their mother to be the first to ask. Zhou Yuxia replied, “Mom, don’t worry, Doctor Ye hasn’t concluded anything yet.” “It’s not a tumor. If it were, I’m afraid, Wang Grandma, your condition might be even more severe than Mr. Zhou’s. I suspect the extra mass inside you is a mummified fetus!” A mummified fetus? Zhou Yuxia, Zhou Lili, Zhou Haiyan, and Zhou Wenting were all very surprised. Especially Wang Yulian, how could she believe there was a mummified fetus inside her? “Based on the pulse diagnosis I just performed, during your last pregnancy, which was the fourth one, there should have been twins. But now, there is only Miss Zhou here, so I suspect that one of the twins was a mummified fetus and has remained in your body, causing you long-term heartache,” Ye Qiu simply stated. “That’s impossible! Back then, Zhou Bao and I went for a check-up, and it wasn’t supposed to be twins,” Wang Yulian stated confidently. Before giving birth to Zhou Wenting, she and Zhou Bao had gone for prenatal screenings regularly. Although technology wasn’t as advanced twenty years ago, tests like ultrasounds were still possible. “I’m certain I am not mistaken. If you don’t believe me, we can go to the hospital now to check whether there is a mummified fetus inside. I suspect the fetus inside might be the unborn brother or sister of Miss Zhou.” If it were someone else, they might find this somewhat horrifying. However, Zhou Wenting thought it was possible because, during her study of Western medicine, she had indeed encountered such cases. Now Zhou Yuxia, Zhou Lili, and Zhou Haiyan were all concerned about their mother’s condition. They felt it was best to go to the hospital for an examination. The four sisters were preparing to take Wang Yulian for an examination, and Wang Yulian just quickly got ready, then got into the car owned by Zhou Yuxia. “Doctor Ye, please get into my car,” Zhou Yuxia said. Zhou Wenting didn’t have a car and had to ride with the eldest sister, the second sister, or the third sister. Zhou Wenting followed Ye Qiu into Zhou Yuxia’s car, and then they drove towards Jinling People’s Hospital. Jinling People’s Hospital in Jinling is also a famous tier-three hospital, but it is not as good as Jinling University Affiliated Hospital. Now, as Zhou Yuxia was driving towards Jinling People’s Hospital, Zhou Wenting asked, “Doctor Ye, if there really is a dead fetus inside my mother’s stomach, how did it happen, and why wasn’t I affected originally?” “There are many possible causes, but let’s first conduct the examination to see if my diagnosis is correct,” Ye Qiu didn’t seem to want to talk more with Zhou Wenting. Zhou Wenting didn’t ask further, but she was inwardly cursing Ye Qiu, feeling he was acting too superior. However, if Ye Qiu could indeed diagnose that there was a dead fetus inside her mother’s stomach just like that, it would really be incredible. Zhou Yuxia drove to the parking lot of Jinling People’s Hospital, parked the car, and they, along with Ye Qiu, Wang Yulian, and Zhou Wenting, got out of the car. Zhou Lili and Zhou Haiyan also got out of their cars, driven by their personal drivers. Then they took Wang Yulian into Jinling People’s Hospital. While Zhou Yuxia went to register for an ultrasound, Ye Qiu waited outside; Zhou Yuxia’s sisters accompanied Wang Yulian up to the hospital building. But, Ye Qiu was puzzled. Wasn’t Zhou Bao supposed to be Zhou Yuxia’s father? Why hadn’t he seen Zhou Bao just now? Moreover, Ye Qiu was wondering how there could still be a dead fetus inside Wang Yulian’s stomach? What could have caused it? On this point, even with his miraculous medical skills, he couldn’t be certain for the moment. But he was sure that there really was a dead fetus inside Wang Yulian’s stomach. Having money and connections indeed made things very convenient; if it were ordinary people registering, waiting one hour to get attended to would be considered fast. But with Zhou Yuxia bringing Wang Yulian, registration took just a few minutes, and they could immediately take Wang Yulian for the examination. Wang Yulian went to the ultrasound department for a B-scan ultrasound, while Ye Qiu continued to sit upstairs. Ye Qiu disliked the smell of hospitals, possibly because it was closely related to his previous time at the Heavenly Court Imperial Medical Bureau, where he was used to the scent of Immortal Elixirs and wasn’t accustomed to the unpleasant and complex smell of hospitals. Additionally, hospitals had many patients, and they contained various kinds of western medicines, including syrups and significant amounts of disinfectants and antiseptics used for cleaning the wards. Having been treated in Jinling Hospital’s high-level ward for such a long time, the unpleasant smell had become nauseating. If he hadn’t come to the hospital with Wang Yulian for the examination, to convince Zhou Yuxia and her sisters of his diagnosis, he wouldn’t have thought of coming to the hospital at all. Wang Yulian was taken by the doctor for a B-scan ultrasound. Now, compared to more than twenty years ago, B-scan ultrasound technology had advanced much more, featuring color Doppler ultrasound and even three-dimensional and four-dimensional ultrasounds, which are very sophisticated. Wang Yulian was examined using a color Doppler ultrasound, and it was completed quickly. Soon after, the images were produced. The attending doctor asked, “Miss Zhou, may I know why your mother needed the ultrasound? What was the purpose?” “A private doctor had suspected that there is a dead fetus inside my mother, and it has been there for over twenty years. So, we wanted to confirm it,” Dead fetus? The attending doctor, upon hearing this, was equally surprised and hurriedly took Zhou Yuxia, her sisters, and Wang Yulian to a neighboring office to check the recently produced color Doppler ultrasound images on the computer.
