127: Chapter 0127: Hedging 127: Chapter 0127: Hedging Zhou Yuxia felt that it wouldn’t be a problem to have a full body checkup for her mother, but now she was worried whether her mother could undergo the surgery? How risky was the surgery? However, she decided to ask Ye Qiu first. “Dr. Ye, may I know what your advice is?” “Miss Zhou, I can treat your mother, and also, there’s no need for surgery.” Ye Qiu said. Since he had promised Zhou Wenting to treat Wang Yulian and was even preparing to charge her five hundred thousand for the medical fees, he definitely had to cure Wang Yulian. But if Wang Yulian were to receive surgical treatment in the hospital, it wouldn’t be considered as his work! When Ye Qiu had just announced this, the four Zhou sisters all looked extremely surprised! The main treating doctors at Jinling People’s Hospital were even more astonished; they couldn’t understand, without performing surgery, how Ye Qiu intended to remove the dead fetus inside? “Impossible!” “Absolutely impossible!” “I think it’s impossible, surely a pipe dream!” … The main treating doctors expressed their disbelief. They now felt as if Ye Qiu might be a charlatan, doubting the truth of his words. Seeing the expressions of these doctors, Ye Qiu knew what they were thinking. Of course, if the Zhou sisters hadn’t known that Ye Qiu made their father’s cancer cells completely disappear, they too wouldn’t have believed Ye Qiu. Now that Ye Qiu dared to make such a claim, it must be true. “Shall we make a bet?” Ye Qiu suggested. “What kind of bet?” The doctors were immediately intrigued, partly because they didn’t believe in Ye Qiu’s medical skills and partly because they thought Ye Qiu was a quack, suspecting that the Zhou sisters might have been deceived by him. “Each of you put up one hundred thousand for a bet with me, and if I lose, I’ll also give each of you one hundred thousand.” One hundred thousand wasn’t a small amount, but for those main treating doctors who received kickbacks, had high salaries, and were accustomed to red envelopes, one hundred thousand was not a significant sum. “Sure, we’d like to take that bet, but do you have that much money?” “I have over four million in my bank account, do you think I won’t have the money?” With Zhou Yuxia as a witness, Ye Qiu and those six main treating doctors confirmed the wager. Of course, how exactly Ye Qiu would make the dead fetus disappear from Wang Yulian, they did not know. “We can start now.” Ye Qiu said. However, Wang Yulian then said, “Dr. Ye, I’d rather wait until tomorrow, I’m very tired tonight.” Since Ye Qiu could make the cancer cells on Zhou Bao’s body disappear in less than half an hour, the dead fetus in Wang Yulian’s body could similarly vanish quickly. Now that Wang Yulian was not yet ready, they could only wait until tomorrow. “Tomorrow is fine.” Ye Qiu said. Now, Zhou Yuxia went to arrange a private hospital room for her mother and have her settle down in the hospital first, as she sensed her mother seemed to have something on her mind. After informing Ye Qiu and saying goodbye, she prepared to leave. Ye Qiu left the hospital building, and Zhou Wenting personally saw him out. Once outside the hospital, Ye Qiu was ready to ride his electric bike back to Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School. Seeing Ye Qiu about to leave, Zhou Wenting said, “Won’t you say something to me?” “What should I say?” “About my mother’s condition.” “The dead fetus inside her could very well have been your younger or older brother. However, I didn’t disclose the gender, and even if I did, it wouldn’t make any difference now. It has been lodged in your mother’s belly for a long time, essentially leeching off her, continually drawing nutrients from her body. That’s why your mother looks rather frail and appears aged. Certainly, there might be some story behind this that your mother doesn’t want to tell me, so I am not entirely clear on what exactly happened back then.” A younger or older brother? Zhou Wenting was even more astonished. She knew very well that the root cause of her parents’ divorce was that her mother had never given birth to a son, and so Zhou Bao believed there was no male heir to carry on the jewelry conglomerate. But Wang Yulian, after giving birth to her, divorced her father and had lived alone since then, never engaging with any other men. Under these circumstances, one could surmise that the retained dead fetus was most likely her twin. Yet Zhou Wenting was born by luck, and the other had died, staying inside the womb all these years, totally unbeknownst to them. “Is it really a brother?” “According to my pulse diagnosis, it should be.” Zhou Wenting was at a loss for words. Ye Qiu did not stay any longer, riding his electric bike in the direction of Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School. Watching Ye Qiu’s retreating figure, Zhou Wenting was still pondering the words he had just spoken. If that was indeed the case, wouldn’t her mother suffer even more regret? Upon entering the hospital room, now Zhou Yuxia, Zhou Lili, and Zhou Haiyan were all there accompanying her while the other six attending doctors had left earlier, waiting for tomorrow when Ye Qiu would pay them the money from their bet. When Zhou Yuxia saw Zhou Wenting come in, she asked, “Has Doctor Ye left?” “He has,” Zhou Wenting replied. “Mom, did you really not know you were carrying twins back then?” Zhou Yuxia asked. Wang Yulian shook her head and said, “So many years have passed; I’ve almost forgotten, and recently, my memory has been failing me.” Speaking of the past, Wang Yulian felt that there was a period whose details were not very clear to her. She faintly sensed that she might have known she was carrying twins, but it seemed something happened later, and then only Zhou Wenting was born, followed by the divorce with Zhou Bao. It had been at least twenty-three years by now, and Wang Yulian truly didn’t remember clearly anymore. “Mom, then why didn’t you want to be treated when Doctor Ye was treating you just now?” “I plan to be treated tomorrow.” Wang Yulian said. Zhou Yuxia and her sisters looked worriedly at Wang Yulian; even though the dead fetus might once have been their sibling, it was stillborn after all, so what affection could there be? Zhou Wenting felt the longer that thing remained inside, the bigger the harm to her mother would be. The sooner it was dealt with, the better for her mother’s health recovery. Zhou Yuxia, Zhou Lili, and Zhou Haiyan all had business back at the company, and after saying a word to Zhou Wenting, they left first for the company, planning to come back here early tomorrow morning. After Zhou Yuxia and her two sisters left, Zhou Wenting stayed behind to accompany Wang Yulian. Zhou Wenting had thought about calling Zhou Bao to inform him of this matter, but after some consideration, she decided it would be best not to. Her father had just about recovered and been discharged from the hospital, so she didn’t plan on telling him about this. Besides, Zhou Bao was with Liu Yu, and if Zhou Bao knew and wanted to come over, Liu Yu would undoubtedly join him, and Zhou Wenting did not wish to see that Liu Yu.
