“Unless what?”

“Unless the child is not yours. Then you can divorce her without compensation.”

“That child is not mine. I am sure about it. I will go and file for a divorce now.” Xie Zhuojun immediately stood up from the sofa upon hearing the words and started to walk out without turning back.

“Stop!” Xie Dongfeng bellowed furiously.

He was annoyed at his son’s weak streak. “Why can’t you just be patient? I haven’t finished speaking and you started to rush outside. Where can you file for divorce so late at night?”

Xie Zhuojun was scared of his father, Xie Dongfeng. Hearing his words, he came back and sat down obediently.

“How can you be so sure that the child is not yours? As far as I know, although Shangguan Rouxue drank with those people, she might not have betrayed you for real.”

Seeing his son looking so honest and obedient, Xie Dongfen calmed himself down. He also hated Shangguan Rouxue as well, because he thought her as a troublemaker who had made such a mess in their happy family. His son had not only been looked down on by others but also aged so quickly. He wasn’t happy and even got grey hair when he was only 30 years old, looking almost as old as him.

They had initially feared that the child inside Shangguan Rouxue wasn’t Xie Zhuojun’s, but now they feared that the child was indeed his!

Xie Zhuojun had no definite proof, but it was his instinct telling him that the child wasn’t his.

He was hesitant after hearing Xie Dongfeng’s words. “What about doing a DNA test?”

Xie Dongfeng shook his head. He said considerately, “Not a good idea. No DNA test. What if the child is yours, you will offend Shangguan Zheng completely. But if the child is not yours, it is better to let Shangguan Rouxue give birth to the baby.”

“How can that work? I will be laughed at. If we discover that the child is not mine after the DNA test, we can get her to abort it,” Xie Zhuojun said anxiously.

“Not necessarily! When the child is born and if it turns out to be someone else’s, then you will have sufficient reasons to divorce Shangguan Rouxue. She will have no way out then. At that time, they will compensate us rather than the other way around. We will be the reasonable side, and Shangguan Rouxue will become the laughing stock. Cheating on you when you were so nice to her! You will only be sympathised with.”

Xie Zhuojun relished the words after hearing them and gradually thought that his father might be right.

Also, only allowing Shangguan Rouxue to give birth to the baby would bring the case to a conclusion. Otherwise she might remove the child if they discover that it wasn’t his and then stick with him forever. That would be worse.

“Zhuojun, for the sake of our Family Xie’s reputation and honor, please tolerate her for some more time. The child will be born in a few months. If you divorce her then, Shangguan Zheng would have no way out. As for the remaining time, don’t worry. Your mother will deal with Shangguan Rouxue, and she will visit her tonight. Your health is getting worse and you need to get yourself checked at the hospital first thing tomorrow.”

Xie Zhuojun didn’t feel that anxious any more after his father’s words. He nodded and agreed.

The following day, Xie Zhuojun visited the hospital.

After a complete examination, the doctor asked him in confusion, “Have you been hit on your head before?”

He held all the reports in his hands. Xie Zhuojun got a bit startled hearing the words and nodded. “Yes, I had a car accident a few years ago and... I was in bed for two years.”

He always avoided mentioning phrases like “vegetative man” and “coma”.

The doctor didn’t care about how he phrased it. Instead, he said seriously, “the recurring headaches might be related to a blood clot in your brain. When you had the accident, the clot wasn’t dealt with properly and is now pressing down your nerves. It will get worse with time and if not handled properly, you might slip into a coma or even risk losing your life.”

Xie Zhuojun broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the doctor. He turned pale and his hands started shaking.

How could this be possible?

He had a blood clot inside his brain?

When he woke up from the coma, the doctor had sighed that it was a miracle. The doctor said that he had recovered completely and he had no problems left!

He took hold of the doctor’s hands and asked anxiously, “Doctor, what should I do? Please save me!”

The doctor got startled by his reaction. He didn’t expect that the person could be psychologically so weak.

He removed Xie Zhuojun’s hands and said seriously, “I would recommend a brain surgery. But you can take a second opinion at other hospitals first. I suggest you try visiting Family Mu’s Hospital, because they have just imported the newest equipment from foreign countries and will be more accurate in this kind of examination. Also, I can’t do the operation, it is too complicated. There is only one person in the entire A City who could do it.”

Xie Zhuojun asked anxiously as if holding onto the last straw. “Who is it?”

“Mu Qing!” The doctor said calmly, his voice full of admiration.

“The Head of Family Mu’s Hospital, Doctor Mu Qing. He is an expert in this aspect. You can seek his appointment. Family Mu’s Hospital is expensive, yet the risk can be largely reduced.”

Xie Zhuojun had never been to Family Mu’s Hospital, but had heard of Mu Qing.

Mu Wensheng, the founder of Family Mu’s Hospital, had been a legend in the entire A City. His grandson Mu Qing was even better. He had not only inherited his profession at a young age but was also very skillful. Due to the support of Jingsheng Enterprise, Family Mu’s Hospital was expanding very fast. It had more or less become the number one hospital in A City.

“Okay, I see. I will seek an appointment with him!” Xie Zhuojun finally had hope rising inside him. His shirt was soaked with perspiration due to his fear of few moments ago.

“Thank you, I will be off now.” Xie Zhuojun wanted to change his clothes before going to Family Mu’s Hospital.

“Hang on!” The doctor asked him to stay when he saw him leave. “Feeling weird anywhere else apart from the brain?”
