Chapter 955: Chapter 960: Who Will Save You and the Cub When I Leave?
Su Tang bent down to pick up a red fruit that looked fresh, probably just picked today.
She spoke in an unhurried tone, "Yesterday, there was a female who had just gotten pregnant. She was pushed down and bled a lot, everyone thought the cub wouldn’t make it, but I saved it."
"..."
Su Tang saw Caozi’s raised hand pause.
She slightly curled the corners of her lips and turned around decisively, "Well, since you don’t need it, then I..."
She was stopped before she could finish her sentence.
"Wait a moment!"
Su Tang turned around again, her expression indifferent, "Is there anything else?"
Caozi, holding her now protruding belly, looked towards Su Tang.
In the darkness, her eyes carried a hue of resignation mingled with hesitant hope.
After a long while, she finally spoke, "Can you truly save my cub?"
Su Tang didn’t conceal the truth, speaking straightforwardly, "I need to see it first to know."
Caozi’s tone became a bit more determined, "How are you going to check?"
"Lie down."
Su Tang stepped forward and took Caozi’s arm to take her pulse.
As time slipped by, Caozi’s heart clenched tightly.
What was she afraid of?
At worst, she would just be hearing one more time that her cub was no longer alive, right?
A bitter smile hung on Caozi’s lips, so what exactly was there to look forward to?
Noticing that Su Tang had let go of her hand, yet said nothing, Caozi’s heart felt like it had dropped into an icy pit.
"You may go."
Caozi closed her eyes wearily, her heart aching as if it were being cut by a knife, beyond recovery.
Su Tang spoke calmly, "If I leave, who will save you and your cub?"
Upon hearing these words.
Caozi suddenly opened her eyes.
Her heart pounded violently in her chest, an almost dreamlike sensation that made her somewhat incredulous.
Her breathing even became lighter, afraid that a deep breath would wake her up and then she would discover that it was all just a dream.
Su Tang spoke a bit more seriously, "The cub is still there, but the situation is not good, because the mother’s body is chilled. Even if he is born safely, he might suffer from serious chronic illness.
What that means is, if you insist on giving birth to the cub, he will be much weaker compared to other cubs, and he will get sick often. Knowing this, do you still want to have him?"
"..."
Seeing that Caozi didn’t react, Su Tang raised an eyebrow and continued to speak.
"Of course, you’re still young. You could choose to give up this cub, there will be other cubs in the future."
Caozi suddenly became alert, adamantly rejecting, "No! That’s not okay! I can’t give up on the cub, I don’t want any other cubs, please save him! Save my cub!"
As she spoke, Caozi struggled to get off the bed to kneel before Su Tang.
Su Tang quickly pressed her down.
"I understand, you need to lie still. You can’t make any vigorous movements, otherwise, the cub won’t be able to bear it."
At that, Caozi immediately lay down obediently.
Right now, Su Tang was a lifeline to her, and she had to cling to it with all her might!
"Since you want me to save you, you have to follow my instructions. Whatever I say goes, and you must do as I say."
Caozi nodded hastily.
Su Tang’s tone softened a bit, "First, eat some fruit to fill your stomach. You need to be well-fed so the cub can absorb the nutrients and grow healthy."
"I’ll eat! I’ll eat right now!"
Caozi grabbed a red fruit with one hand, taking big bites, her eyes still fixed on Su Tang, waiting for her next direction.
