"Don't forget about me, I can help too," Shen Liannuo felt excluded and patted her chest. "Anyway, I'm single, so I'll be the godmother to Shi Ran's three children. I'll raise them to be plump and healthy, just in case I have my own children later."
She didn't really like having children, largely due to her rejection of the traditional idea of having children for lineage. She was afraid of childbirth and wanted to be childfree.
This was also one of her life's goals.
"Thank you, Sister Liannuo," Shi Ran was deeply touched, her eyes moistening.
Shen Liannuo got up and sat by the bed, embracing both women. "With me here, I'll protect both of you. With my skills, one punch for a scumbag, two for a bastard, who would dare bully you!"
Her words successfully made Meng Jingwei and Shi Ran laugh.
The room was filled with a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
The three women sat together, discussing recent events, mostly listening to Shi Ran's story.
After chatting for a while, Shi Ran would occasionally see Tang Si's figure through the transparent glass of the ward door. Meng Jingwei saw him too, of course.
As someone who had been through it, Meng Jingwei naturally understood and said, "You're pregnant, and three children are a lot of work. Let Tang Si arrange a place for you to rest. Pregnant women should avoid coming to the hospital as much as possible."
Shen Liannuo chimed in repeatedly, "Yes, yes. Go rest quickly."
"Then... alright. I'll come by to see you again tonight, Sister Wei." Shi Ran stood up and said.
"Whether you come or not doesn't matter, your intention is enough."
"That's right, given your situation, it's best to avoid appearing in Lancheng as much as possible."
Meng Jingwei said to Shen Liannuo.
Shi Ran nodded, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then left the ward, looking back every few steps.
As she walked outside, she put on her mask again and pulled her scarf up to cover her face.
The two women in the ward watched her leave. Only after she had exited the room did Shen Liannuo sigh deeply, lamenting, "It's such a pity. She's so beautiful, but that scar on her face, alas..."
"With her scar constitution, that scar will likely follow her for life." Meng Jingwei frowned, her willow-like brows furrowed, feeling very guilty. "Old Man Chen really ruined her life."
"Not necessarily. I know someone who can remove that scar."
Shen Liannuo's eyes lit up, and she excitedly slapped her thigh. But after speaking, she deflated like a punctured balloon, her head drooping. "Forget it, forget it, it's unlikely."
"What method?" Meng Jingwei was speechless. "Can you just say it all at once!" She then added, "If there's truly a way, no matter the cost, I want to help Shi Ran remove that scar on her face. You know how important appearance is to a girl. Besides, with her situation with Tang Si, they will surely get married eventually. With that scar, how will the Tang family accept her?"
"I know what you mean. But to remove the scar, we have to return to the Hidden Clan. There's a divine doctor in the Hidden Clan who is very skilled, especially experienced in removing scars. But it's far away in the Hidden Clan, and Shi Ran has been through a lot of frights there. Would she still go?"
This was Shen Liannuo's greatest concern.
Meng Jingwei lowered her eyelids, deep in thought. "Everything hasn't settled yet. Once everything is stable, I'll ask Shi Ran."
If the scar could truly be removed, it would be worth a try.
