Chapter Fourteen: Could Fei Jing Have Caused Her Cancer?!

Page 1/3

"Chen Yi accidentally knocked over the bedside table, and those medicines..."

"They're health supplements I bought online," Lu Tian paused, then added, "for preparing for pregnancy."

Fei Jing found it hard to trust anyone, but she was an exception.

Yet exceptions sometimes faced even greater exceptions. The last visit to Fei Group likely aroused the man's suspicion.

"Our daughter is gone, A-Jing. I still want a child of ours. Don't you want that?" Her careful tone left no room for reproach.

Fei Jing felt guilty and pained.

Without overthinking, he gently pulled Lu Tian into his arms, massaging her stiff, sore shoulders and neck caused by a high fever with just the right pressure.

After a long moment, his deep, magnetic voice, warm as a summer breeze, whispered into her ear.

"Wife, your body is weak. There's no rush to have a child. Be patient, okay?"

"Not in a rush? Or do you already have a secret child somewhere?" Lu Tian’s disgust slipped out unintentionally.

Fei Jing was stunned.

She smiled slyly, joking, "Alright, just teasing. My husband loves me so much, he even says cheaters deserve a miserable end! Of course, I wouldn’t doubt your fidelity."

That phrase, "cheaters deserve a miserable end," was uttered clearly.

Lu Tian saw it distinctly—no matter how fearless a business titan might be, there was always a side shadowed by insecurity and fear.

Trying to forcibly change the subject, Fei Jing pointed at a note on his phone. "Sweetheart, what’s this…?"

"I already said, it’s to avoid mixing up our daughter’s death anniversary. Mom’s superstitious, and since it’s a Fei family member who passed, if we mess it up, it’ll only cause trouble."

Fei Jing’s mother was his weak spot.

Years ago, she left the countryside and worked as a hostess in nightclubs, notable for her beauty.

Later, she was forced and became pregnant.

With no money for an abortion, she gave birth to her son in a filthy public restroom.

This dark past was absolutely, utterly forbidden to be made public by the proud Fei family head.

After speaking, he held her tighter and sighed, "Having you live with her has been unfair to you."

"I'm fine, as long as you’re happy."

Anyway, soon, Fei Jing, your wife will no longer be me.

As for Lu Youyou, I sincerely hope she can gain status through her child and let your beloved mother hold her long-awaited eldest grandson.

The next day, since the drawer was empty of anticancer and painkillers, Lu Tian had to go to the hospital herself to get the doctor to renew her prescriptions.

While waiting outside the consultation room, a man wearing a black mask sat with a delicate little girl on his lap, who wore a bubble Mary mask as well.

The girl’s soft little face was always tilted, leaning toward Lu Tian.

Lu Tian didn’t like strangers getting close.

She politely moved to sit farther away.

The man turned his head, the glaring light reflecting in his crystal-clear, glassy eyes.

One had to admit, just his gaze alone was dazzlingly captivating.

They stared at each other, the atmosphere awkward.

Lu Tian tried to stand to wait by the door.

The man spoke first, "Chanel No. 5 is a bit mature; you should try the classic Chance."

"Sir, we..." Did I know him?

"If your health is poor, don’t wear high heels. They’ll make you tense all over and unable to relax anytime, anywhere."

"No, I..."

This familiarity was unsettling.

The nurse called out to Lu Tian.

She breathed a sigh of relief, ready to leave.

Unexpectedly, the man holding the girl hurried after her, babbling on, "I recommend dad shoes. As for brands, you should..."

Bang! The doll-like little girl, surprisingly strong, shut the consultation room door for Lu Tian.

Through the thin door panel, the girl scolded her father seriously, "Li Yancheng, don’t babble every time you see mommy. This is an illness that must be treated, or you’ll scare beautiful mommy away."

"Oh."

The man who had just been talking endlessly suddenly went silent.

And… mommy?

Who was the little girl’s mother?

Zhao Liu sat behind the desk, clearing his throat, "Miss Lu, a rare visitor."

A bit sarcastic.

Lu Tian disliked meddling, so she got straight to the point, "I’ve run out of medication and need a refill."

"That’s fine, but you’ll need to undergo several tests."

No choice; the prescription power was in their hands.

Several hours later.

Zhao Liu stared at the computerized test results on the screen, his expression grave, muttering, "As expected, it really is caused by contraception."

"What contraception?" Lu Tian was utterly confused.

After having their daughter, to prevent Fei’s mother from making trouble for Fei Jing,

she had been carefully regulating her body and taking many prescriptions from famous doctors.

Her purpose was clear: to give the Fei family a strong, healthy son.

"Miss Lu, your blood shows a large amount of chemical residue. You can understand it as a kind of chronic poisoning."

Long-term use of a certain contraceptive had forced the liver to work overtime to detoxify and maintain normal function.

Over time, the liver’s protective mechanisms were damaged, eventually causing cancerous changes.

Zhao Liu sighed, "Miss Lu, even if you don’t want more children, you shouldn’t ruin your health like this. Actually, men can get vasectomies too..."

Before he could finish, Lu Tian’s face turned pale and she rushed out of the consultation room.

She couldn’t remember how she got back to the Fei family estate.

Once inside the villa, she went mad, grabbing Zhao Ma’s shoulders and shaking her fiercely, shouting, "Where are those medicinal recipes Fei Jing personally sent someone to find to help with fertility? Where are they?!"

Since the fifth month of pregnancy, their daughter had been forced off breast milk, only fed formula.

Because Fei Jing said, "Wife, I personally went to southern Fujian to get this formula. Many infertile couples have succeeded with it. We will definitely have a son too."

At that time, he had disappeared for over half a month.

When the rescue team found him, he was clutching a stack of prescriptions tightly.

Despite a bear attack biting him, he used his own body to shield those few worthless printed papers, refusing to let go.

Lu Tian cried and blamed him, even hit him.

He patiently smiled and coaxed, "That old Chinese doctor is reclusive and unpredictable. It was so hard to find him once; I couldn’t come back empty-handed."

In the pitch-black basement.

A dusty corner.

According to Zhao Ma, Lu Tian stumbled and found a locked wooden box.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

She lost all reason and smashed the rusty lock with her bare hands.

Zhao Ma rushed over, screaming to stop her, "Madam... please stop! Your hands will be ruined! If the master sees this, he’ll kill us all!"

Thinking of Lu Youyou, soaked in cold water.

If it weren’t for the lifesaving charm inside her womb, she might have already died.

Lu Tian looked up, her blood-red apricot eyes terrifyingly fierce.

She commanded slowly and clearly, "Open the box."

Buzzing.

Lu Youyou’s messages kept coming, relentless.

—[Sister Tian Tian, look, isn’t this place familiar?]

The photo showed Babo Mountain Cemetery.

Their daughter’s tombstone had been smashed to pieces.

The black-and-white portrait was burnt to ashes as well.
