“Mom? Is it true?” Ye Tianxin’s eyes were now filled with hope.

Ye Linlang nodded. “It’s true. So, my daughter, be patient. I will look into this, okay?”

“Mom, you’re not lying to me, right?”

Ye Tianxin was still suspicious. How could this all be a coincidence?

Ye Linlang smiled bitterly, “Tianxin, I’m telling the truth. There is an antidote for every poison out there. We just haven’t found the cure for this virus yet. The X-Virus may sound horrifying, but it’s only a virus. As it is relatively uncommon, nobody has put any resources in looking for a cure. Tianxin, you have to trust that your father and I are different. We will do everything we can to find a cure for you.”

A glimmer of hope…

There was hope after all.

Even if it was just a flicker of hope, Ye Tianxin finally felt that there was something she could hold on to.

She took a deep breath and stroked her stomach with one hand.

“Mom, no matter what happens, you need to protect my children first. If…”

Ye Tianxin stopped for a while.

She thought for a moment and spoke as though she had made up her mind.

“If it ever comes between me and my children, please save them instead of me.”

She felt she was not fit to be a mother, but she would gamble her life away to make sure that Jin was born.

She believed that even if Jin had to come into the world without her as his mother, Li Qingcang and her parents would give Jin a happy life.

“Tianxin, are you kidding? You’re not even three months pregnant yet. Even if I were God, I wouldn’t be able to protect your children. Furthermore, you are a doctor yourself. You know that this is not possible.”

It was true from a medical point of view that it was impossible, but that didn’t matter.

She would be patient and wait.

She would do everything in her power to make sure the pregnancy lasted at least six months, maybe even seven.

By then, even if she had to have a C-section or if the babies had to stay in an incubator for some time, she would be assured that they would live.

“Mom, I will try to stay alive and healthy until six or seven months into the pregnancy. By then, they should be able to survive. I will try to wait until then.”

It would take a miracle for a cure to be invented before then, but it would be worth it if the children were guaranteed to survive and live a long life.

By the time they grew up, the X-Virus would not be as intimidating. There might even be a cure for it.

“Tianxin…”

Ye Tianxin held on to Ye Linlang’s hand tightly. Yes, she was aware that at her current state, it would be very difficult for her to wait that long.

Even so, she did not want to give up.

Even if it was only a one-in-a-million chance, she would still fight to give her unborn children a chance to live.

“Mom, I will not give up.”

Since her daughter was determined not to give up, as her mother, Ye Linlang had no reason to give up as well.

Half an hour later, Li Qingcang returned to the ward with a brown envelope in his hands.

It contained the results of his body checkup.

Qie Wenyang had done a full blood analysis for Li Qingcang.

“Tianxin, the report is out. Do you want to see it?”

Ye Tianxin nodded. Li Qingcang passed the report to her.

Ye Tianxin opened the envelope and read the report carefully. She bit her lips in joy. It was all good.

Fortunately, she did not pass the X-Virus to Li Qingcang. Ye Tianxin felt more relieved than ever.
