"He Xuemei? A friend?"

Lin Jie thought for a while but couldn't remember who this person was!

Upon thinking that the other party mentioned something important, he said to the security guard on the other end of the call: "Please have her wait in the reception area in the lobby. I'll go down to see her right away!"

A few minutes later, Lin Jie appeared in the reception area of the first-floor lobby of the apartment and met his so-called "friend" who stood up to greet him.

Seeing her face, Lin Jie remembered who she was, the saleswoman at the Dikrol men's clothing store!

Even though she was bare-faced at the moment, she still looked quite attractive, wearing a light-colored turtleneck sweater, fitted jeans, and a fawn-colored trench coat, appearing simple and elegant, with a bit of charm!

Lin Jie asked directly, "You mentioned something important, is there a problem with the clothes delivered last night, or is there an issue with the payment?"

"Neither, please forgive my boldness!"

He Xuemei hurriedly explained, "I am a friend and fellow townsman of Yang Leyi, I heard about you from her, and I'm here specifically to ask for your help."

A friend and fellow townsman of Yang Leyi? Lin Jie scrutinized her, pondering her intentions!

Ever since the successful surgery on the baby with the exposed heart, Lin Jie's contact with Yang Leyi had been limited to receiving her celebratory WeChat messages during holidays.

Recently, Lin Jie had received red dates, millet, peanuts, walnuts, and other farm products sent by the baby's family.

Hearing He Xuemei say "ask for help," Lin Jie asked politely but distantly, "I wonder what I can do for you?"

Upon hearing this, He Xuemei took a medical record and some ultrasound images from the handbag she carried.

Lin Jie took them, glanced at them, and found the problem; this was the medical record and ultrasound images of a woman already two months pregnant, but there was a fibroid on the woman's uterus.

Normally, this situation makes pregnancy difficult, and the fact that the baby was conceived at all was somewhat a rare occurrence.

He examined the ultrasound images carefully and said to He Xuemei, "The uterine fibroid shown in the images is quite large, but generally speaking, these fibroids are benign, and the surgery to remove them is relatively simple, with virtually no risk to life, something most hospitals are capable of doing!"

"The only problem is that the baby cannot be saved."

He Xuemei's eyes reddened as she pleaded, "Dr. Lin, this is my medical record and ultrasound image, I want to keep this child, please help me!"

Lin Jie frowned and examined the ultrasound images once again, pointing at the image and explaining to He Xuemei, "Based on the location of this uterine fibroid, it is an intramural fibroid. It enlarges the uterus and causes the uterine cavity to bend and deform, easily irritating the uterus, which can trigger spasmodic contractions, leading to miscarriage."

"Currently, the diameter of this uterine fibroid, by eye estimation, is over five centimeters, which is quite large."

"Frankly, the fact that your baby grew to two months without any incident is a miracle. But I do not think its luck will hold, and an incident could happen at any moment."

Tears welled up in He Xuemei's eyes as she said, with a sob in her voice, "I have been to three hospitals, and this is what all the doctors told me. Dr. Lin, I know you know many famous specialists, many renowned doctors!"

"That baby's condition was so severe, with the heart growing outside, yet expert doctors had cured it, and all I have is a small fibroid."

"Dr. Lin, please introduce me to a skilled specialist doctor, let her perform surgery and save my baby!"

Lin Jie examined the ultrasound images again, contemplating possible treatment plans!

Currently, the only method is to surgically remove this uterine fibroid, but the proximity of the fibroid to the fetus, and the rapid developmental stage of the fetus with dense blood vessels, create high surgical demands, requiring exceptional precision. Otherwise, a slight mistake could harm the fetus; during the surgery, it could also cause spontaneous uterine spasmodic movements, resulting in fetal miscarriage!

"If I were to perform this surgery myself..."

Lin Jie simulated the surgical process in his mind and eventually shook his head in disappointment, as there were too many uncontrollable factors involved, and the success probability would not exceed thirty percent.

However, even if the success rate were over fifty percent, Lin Jie still had no intention of taking on this surgery!

He had a clear understanding that the reason he still stood there was because his surgeries had always been successful!

Although previous surgeries were indeed demanding, he had confidence and certainty.

But in this case, whether the surgery would succeed largely depended on unpredictable luck, and Lin Jie had no confidence in his heart!

He stated honestly, "He Xuemei, in your case, the only possibility to keep the child is through surgical removal of the uterine fibroid, but the success rate for this surgery is extremely low!"

"I speculate that even if an expert gynecological surgeon in Binhai City comes to perform it, the success rate would not exceed ten percent, maybe not even five percent!"

"Even if you are willing to take a gamble on such a low-probability surgery, they would not accept it!"

"I'm willing to gamble, I really am willing to gamble!"

He Xuemei took a step forward, grabbing Lin Jie's arm, exclaiming excitedly, "Please introduce me to a skilled specialist, one who can save my child."

"This child is my hope, my everything, I cannot lose it, I really can't!"

These words made Lin Jie frown more deeply, wondering if He Xuemei had become obsessed, hadn't he been clear and straightforward enough with his words?

He hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly, "He Xuemei, you might think I am too young, that my words are unreliable, but I suggest you prepare yourself mentally."

"Here's the thing, Binhai University Affiliated Hospital is considered the best and largest hospital in Binhai City."

"Tomorrow, go to their gynecology department and see if I can arrange for a chief-grade gynecologist to look at your medical records; maybe you will find their words more convincing than mine!"

He Xuemei, feeling a bit embarrassed, said, "It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just too worried about this child, it truly is my everything."

"I understand your feelings, actually, I also hope my viewpoint is wrong!"

Lin Jie also cautioned, "In your situation, an incident could happen at any time, so be extra careful yourself!"

"Thank you, so I will go directly tomorrow to Binhai University Affiliated Hospital's Gynecology Department?" He Xuemei confirmed.

Lin Jie thought for another moment and said, "Leave me your phone number, I'll get in touch once I've confirmed things!"

Leaving her phone number, He Xuemei took her leave!

As she walked out of Xiangtai Apartment, He Xuemei glanced back at the building, touching her small belly, she murmured to herself, "Child, you must be strong, as long as you are born healthy, your mom and you can also live in such a high-end apartment, and live a comfortable and happy life!"

With these words, she walked towards the street, intending to hail a cab to head back!

Just as she reached the roadside, He Xuemei's face suddenly turned ashen!

She felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, and a warm flow down her thigh...

Reflecting on Lin Jie's words, that an incident could happen at any moment, she instantly understood what was happening - the big house, the beautiful life...

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a sports car approaching, which seemed to frighten her, causing her body to fall forward...
