Volume One, Chapter 48: Why Did They Want to Abort That Child?

“Yes, the test results show that the patient underwent an abortion procedure three months ago. Her body did not fully recover afterward, leading to fallopian tube damage. This will cause difficulties if she wishes to conceive in the future. For specific details, I suggest you inquire at the hospital where the surgery was performed. At present, we can only treat the fever caused by pneumonia.” The doctor finished speaking and then left the room.

Fu Yanzhou stood by the window, gazing into the pitch-black night. Outside, the wind and snow howled like a beast lurking in the depths of night, ready at any moment to devour everything.

Suddenly, he realized that he knew nothing about Lin Zhiwan at all. She had been by his side for five years! All this time, he had believed that this woman’s feelings for him were true and deep...

Jiang Cheng carefully packed two pink diamonds and a ring, then went to the flower shop to buy nine hundred and ninety-nine red roses.

It wasn’t until dinner that I understood the model he referred to wasn’t a fashion model but someone who wanted to use my face as a mold to create ceramic masks. The strength of the Zhou family is beyond your imagination; you’re merely an abandoned pawn—don’t dream of causing any real upheaval.

Bathed in such radiance, Chen Xiao’s brows and eyes were so gentle, his facial features so resolute, it made one involuntarily want to draw near, to nestle beside him.

As far as the eye could see were warriors clad in black armor, their bodies swirling with dark mist.

But now it was night. What you needed to do was lift your hips, lie on the bed, close your eyes tightly, and feel where the moonlight falls.

“I don’t have to stay, but you must leave! I came to take you away!” Jiang Sheng grabbed the person and started pulling them outside.

With the windows and doors closed, the room naturally smelled foul. A condemned person, imprisoned—being able to eat one’s fill was already a great mercy from the emperor. One dare not hope for extra water to wash up.

She made a hand gesture to have others wait, then quietly stepped inside. When she reached the passage connecting the main hall and the backyard, suddenly the door to the east wing burst open. Judging by the attire and figure, it was the eldest young lady, covering her face with a handkerchief, running out straight toward the old lady’s room! Four or five maids hurried after her in pursuit.

The fox-faced man sneered, “Tsk, tsk, tsk, never thought the people from the Fifth Courtyard would actually come to such a godforsaken place.”

Rong Shu crossed his arms, standing lazily, unafraid as Xiao Lizi slowly approached. Suddenly, he curved his red lips and casually uttered four words that would drive the vain Xiao Lizi mad.

“Just now, I was short-sighted. I apologize to you now,” Huang Hansen said with a wry smile, sincerely apologizing to Hua Yingyan.

Yang Yuan saw Qin Yang’s expression fluctuate with hesitation and knew he still had reservations, though what those were, Yang Yuan had no idea.

This scene stunned everyone completely. Perhaps they could understand that Lu Beilin and Song Yuxi were together, but they never expected, in such a setting, that Song Yuxi would kiss Lu Beilin. That intimate gesture, those tender eyes—all of it spoke volumes.

“Heh, Mom and Dad, I understand now. I’ll be more careful in the future.” Qi Jingtao spoke awkwardly, fawning as he helped his father light the water pipe.

In the blink of an eye, the great demon Changfeng’s arms were already raised. A flying sword swiftly joined the battlefield, its quality no less than the sharp spear treasure of the demon Nianlan.

Though it seemed the eight demon kings were not difficult, each required different cultivation methods corresponding to the Eight Absolutes; thus, the task was far from simple.

I fell into thought. It seemed Zhao Wei had done everything as required, so the problem lay elsewhere. Suddenly, I realized Huang Weimin might be sabotaging me and immediately called him.

Originally arriving in the afternoon, dusk soon fell. At this moment, Ninth Uncle finally finished dressing and stood up.

After staying two days in Maxian Town, Feng Bai felt his health had improved and prepared to depart for the next location, but just before leaving, he suddenly wondered what would become of Maxian Town once he was gone.

With a few light sounds, apart from the Tribunal, the main members of the four major departments—the Holy Rite Office, the Gospel Office, the Education Office, and the Administration Office—slowly emerged and took their steps forward.
