129: Chapter 129: The Disappearance of the Stillborn 129: Chapter 129: The Disappearance of the Stillborn Ye Qiu received a phone call from Zhou Yuxia and promptly rode his electric bike to the Jinling People’s Hospital. About an hour later, Ye Qiu arrived at the entrance of the Jinling People’s Hospital, parked his electric bike, and locked it up, asking the security guard at the door to keep an eye on it. However, the security guard ignored him, thinking that nobody would want Ye Qiu’s electric bike. As soon as Ye Qiu walked towards the entrance, he already saw Zhou Yuxia and Zhou Wenting waiting. “Doctor Ye, you’ve finally come, that’s great!” Zhou Yuxia hurriedly said. Last night, Wang Yulian had a nightmare repeatedly, aside from waking up once and telling Zhou Wenting that the dead fetus in her dream had asked her to let it stay, she woke up several times in the wee hours. Not only was Wang Yulian devoid of energy, Zhou Wenting looked equally listless. “Last night, my mom had a nightmare, apparently, the fetus came to her in her dream, asking to be left inside,” Zhou Yuxia said. “That’s really sinister. It wants to stay inside and continue to drain your mom’s nutrients,” Ye Qiu said. Coming from an Imperial Physician background, he found the existence of ghosts and goblins to be quite normal. However, whether the dead fetus actually appeared in the dream or if it was due to Wang Yulian’s own day-to-day thoughts manifesting at night, Ye Qiu didn’t know yet. Upon reaching the upstairs private ward, Zhou Lili, Zhou Haiyan, and several attending physicians were already waiting. When Ye Qiu arrived, Zhou Haiyan and Zhou Lili greeted him one after the other. Now, seeing Wang Yulian lying on the hospital bed with a troubled expression, it was clear that she looked unwell due to the poor sleep caused by the nightmare the previous night. “Doctor Ye, do ghosts and spirits really exist in this world?” Zhou Haiyan asked. “Yes,” Ye Qiu said truthfully. The attending physicians around him, who initially wanted to laugh it off, couldn’t bring themselves to laugh. They were trained in modern medicine and believed in science, but even with the advancements of science, there were many phenomena that remained unexplained. The most logical explanation for Wang Yulian’s condition would be that her nightmares were influenced by daytime events. Having examined Wang Yulian’s pulse and tongue, Ye Qiu already had a clear understanding of her health condition and said, “The dead fetus inside must be removed as soon as possible.” “Then, how do you intend to remove the dead fetus without surgery, Doctor Ye?” One of the attending physicians asked. He was eagerly waiting for Ye Qiu to pay up the gambling debt of one hundred thousand. “I won’t need to remove it. I will simply make it disappear, and after the treatment, you can X-ray Grandma Wang to see the clear result. I am about to start the treatment now, so you all need to step outside. I don’t like to be disturbed while I am working.” Zhou Yuxia and her three sisters, along with the other attending physicians, prepared to leave the room. The physicians were ready to ridicule Ye Qiu and eager to claim their bet as soon as possible. Once everyone had left and the door was shut, Ye Qiu turned to Wang Yulian and said, “Grandma Wang, don’t worry, this will be over soon.” “Tell me, is the dead fetus inside really a male?” Wang Yulian asked. Ye Qiu nodded. “How did it die?” Wang Yulian pondered a great deal last night, but ultimately, she couldn’t understand – how did it actually die? “According to my examination, either there was an issue with the medication taken during the pregnancy, or it was caused by a miscarriage?” “Then why is Wenting fine?” “This is what baffles me too, because when I took your pulse, I couldn’t detect anything like that for the time being.” However powerful Ye Qiu was, he didn’t know what exactly had happened back then. But he was certain it must have been either a twin brother or sister of Zhou Wenting, and, Ye Qiu did not know because he hadn’t absorbed Wang Yulian’s Soul Consciousness. As for that dead fetus, having never been born and only a few months old, it would not have an independent Soul Consciousness, so it was equally impossible for Ye Qiu to obtain any details about the past from it. Wang Yulian sighed. She always felt it was her fate! If that fetus had been born back then, she would have had a son; she wouldn’t have divorced Zhou Bao, and her life would surely have been different from what it was now. But why did such a thing happen? Ye Qiu had no idea what Wang Yulian was thinking; he thought she was grieving over the fetus that could not be born back then. “Grandma Wang, lie down, close your eyes, and it will be alright soon.” Ye Qiu asked Grandma Wang to settle down and close her eyes without thinking of anything before he unfolded her patient’s gown, as well as the one Wang Yulian was wearing, revealing the shrunken, jaundiced skin underneath. Ye Qiu knew this was the skin of an elderly person! Given Wang Yulian’s condition, at her age, if she had been well-nourished and didn’t have that dead fetus parasitically feeding and absorbing nutrients inside her, her skin certainly would have been in much better shape, not the shrunken and jaundiced, withered look it was now. Ye Qiu placed his hand on the skin in front of Wang Yulian’s chest and began to gently sweep over it, feeling something inside struggling and moving. But, for Ye Qiu, this was hardly a challenge. After about fifteen minutes, he felt that he had absorbed all the residue left by Wang Yulian’s dead fetus. Now, upon careful inspection, there was nothing extra left. As he withdrew his hand, Ye Qiu said, “Grandma Wang, it’s done, you’re all good now.” Wang Yulian had almost fallen asleep. When she opened her eyes, she indeed felt much better and no longer felt the persistent, nagging pain. When Ye Qiu reached the door, he opened it and said, “It’s done.” Zhou Yuxia, Zhou Lili, Zhou Haiyan, and Zhou Wenting rushed in to see their mother appeared to be fine and were perplexed. Could it be that the dead fetus in their mother’s stomach was just gone? The other attending physicians came in, and seeing Ye Qiu’s unchanged expression, they could hardly believe it. “This can’t be possible; the dead fetus must still be inside.” One of the attending physicians said. “You can examine Grandma Wang now, but be prepared for the wager; I will be collecting it in a moment.” Ye Qiu said. Hearing Ye Qiu say this, the expressions of the six attending physicians changed, and they hurriedly took Wang Yulian to the ultrasound department for an examination. The Zhou sisters followed as well. They wanted to see whether what Ye Qiu said was true. Was the dead fetus really gone from their mother’s belly? Wang Yulian was taken to the ultrasound room for a B-scan. After the examination was completed, the doctors stood there, closely examining the display. To their astonishment, the display indeed no longer showed that dark shadow. Compared to yesterday’s images, they noticed that the extraneous shadow resembling a fetus had truly disappeared!
