The hook jade bracelet bore a stronger curse.
Moreover, the Dumpling inside me inherently had some spiritual power.
Its spiritual power formed a self-protection and fiercely collided with the curse.
I felt an excruciating pain in my belly and collapsed to the ground, hearing Beichen's voice as he returned with chocolates, "Are you okay, Yuanyuan, what happened?"
"Beichen, quick, take this thing off, now." I was nearly fainting, astonished at the terrifying extent of this object.
As long as it remained on my wrist for over five minutes, Dumpling would be in mortal danger.
Such a hard-to-defeat demon fetus, yet so easily its life was at risk.
Not to mention a fragile, ordinary child.
Beichen swiftly removed the bracelet from my wrist, and ignoring my weakness, I approached the greedy older pregnant woman, "Quick... take off the hook jade."
Although this woman was too clueless, under normal circumstances, no one might bother with her anymore, but I didn't want an innocent life to be implicated.
Let the woman bear the consequences of her actions, it shouldn't be the tiny, fragile embryo that suffers the punishment.
"I took it off, I... there won't really be trouble, will there?" The woman saw the two sleazy men hastily fleeing and seemed to realize the issue.
But as she finished talking, her face turned deathly pale, she clutched her belly, eight months pregnant, and screamed in pain, "My stomach... my stomach hurts so much... it's killing me... Doctor... go call a doctor."
Many people kindly went to call for help.
I gave Beichen a look, "Do you know how to check someone's pulse?"
"Yes." Beichen was raised by Yu Longting, probably learned medical skills from him too. He went over and took the woman's pulse, then shook his head, "No use, it's a stillbirth."
"…" My heart grew cold, my lips trembling, unable to speak.
Watching as the woman was placed on a stretcher, seeing the medical staff in a flurry, observing the bright red blood on the ground, I felt as if the world was spinning...
Those two men were right there, clearly right in front of me.
I had uncovered their scheme, yet still couldn't prevent it.
What exactly did they want? It felt like indiscriminate aggression against pregnant women.
No! That's not correct!! It was not indiscriminate aggression.
Considering their attire, they looked very much like the two paparazzi from Southern Entertainment I had seen before.
They even mentioned the name Han Dai.
I tugged at Beichen's sleeve, "Try and see if you can find out where Han Dai is in the hospital, and if possible try to stop them, give the hook jade to Han Dai. Han Dai is a big star, proud by nature, and less likely to take small advantages, easier to convince than most pregnant women."
Although I didn't have a good impression of Han Dai and wasn't sure if she was really pregnant, I still didn't want to see an innocent life getting involved.
Given my large pregnant belly and limited mobility, it would be better to let Beichen move freely.
After a while, Xiao Li was supporting Chen Shufen as they came out.
Xiao Li saw me sweating profusely, slightly suspicious, "Is it that hot today? You've sweated so much."
"Pregnant women run hot, just sweated a bit, hey, how did the boss lady's prenatal check-up go?" I felt it was best not to mention such terrifying things, lest I frighten Chen Shufen into harrowing her fetus.
Chen Shufen handed me an ultrasound scan, "Both babies, boy and girl, are very healthy. Where's Beichen? Has he been buying chocolates for over half an hour?"
