Join paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I can help you with things, but what if I help you get rid of Si Wen, and then you change your mind?"

Hearing Join's words, Lilith finally felt relieved. Her voice was full of coaxing as she said, "We can have it notarized first, and I will give you half of the estate's ownership. As long as you complete the process smoothly, I will deliver the other half to you without any problems. If you doubt my sincerity, you might as well consider it from my perspective: would I gamble something so valuable? You know, even if it's only half of the estate's ownership, once I give it to you, it will no longer belong to me."

It must be said that Lilith's suggestion was very tempting, and Join was indeed tempted. After considering it, he agreed to Lilith's suggestion.

After hanging up the phone, Lilith felt a slight pain in her stomach again, and couldn't help but worry.

For the child's safety, Lilith decided to go check the clock.

Big Clock seemed to have anticipated that Lilith would come looking for him, and he hadn't gone to bed even after nightfall.

When he saw Lilith, Da Zhong didn't reveal her purpose. Instead, he said jokingly, "Coming to see me so late, it might not be good for my reputation if word gets out."

Lilith clutched her stomach, her face contorted, and cursed, "Shut up, don't talk nonsense!"

After saying that, Lilith sat down unsteadily in the chair in front of the clock, her lips still trembling slightly.

Seeing Lilith's expression, Big Bell stopped joking, raised his hand and placed it on Lilith's wrist, remaining silent for a long time.

Seeing Da Zhong's expression, Lilith's heart leaped into her throat. She cautiously looked at Da Zhong's face and asked, "Did you figure something out?"

"Is your stomach hurting more and more?"

"Yes."

With a slight frown, Da Zhong sighed, "It seems your child is not going to survive."

Lilith's face turned deathly pale. She stared at the clock for a long time before finally finding her voice.

"how so……"

Seeing Lilith's distraught state, Da Zhong sighed deeply and said, "When you were pregnant with this child, you were doing drugs, drinking heavily, and overeating. Do you think this child could be healthy?"

“But I have to keep him!” Lilith’s eyes flashed with a desperate madness as she grabbed Big Bell’s collar with one hand and roared, “No matter what it takes, you have to keep him here! He’s everything to me, I have to keep him!”

When Lilith went berserk, she was incredibly strong, gripping Da Zhong so tightly he could barely breathe. Grabbing Lilith's hands that were exerting force, Da Zhong hurriedly said, "I can try to help you, cough cough, but... I can't guarantee it will work."

"Aren't your medical skills amazing? You can even cure Grandpa's terminal illness, so what's this little thing to me!" Lilith roared terrifyingly, her eyes bloodshot. "I can give you anything you want, but this child must be born alive!"

Da Zhong felt that if he didn't say something, this woman might strangle him to death, so he said, "You're not feeling well right now, and you still dare to throw a tantrum? Aren't you asking for death?"

Upon hearing what the bell said, Lilith was stunned, then quickly released the bell and calmed her breathing.

Seeing that Lilith had calmed down, Da Zhong straightened his clothes and pointed to the side, saying, "Lie down first, let me see if there's any way to salvage this."

This was the first time Lilith had obeyed the clock without a word; she lay down obediently.

With one hand resting on her lower abdomen, Lilith gently told the child, "Baby, Mommy wants to give you the best things in the world, so you absolutely mustn't get hurt!"

Holding a book in her hand, Lin Yuqing sat on the sofa, her eyes vacant, lost in thought.

Dangdang——

Suddenly snapping out of her daze, Lin Yuqing shook her head to cheer herself up, then walked to the door, grabbed the handrail, and opened it.

"Si Wen?"

Si Wen, dressed in a white casual outfit, was standing outside the door, looking at Lin Yuqing with a big smile, appearing young and energetic.

"Hi, Yuqing, how are you feeling today? Are you feeling better?"

With a slight twitch of her lips, Lin Yuqing said, "It's alright."

Leaning out of the room and looking around, Si Wen said, "You seem pretty bored staying in your room. How about I show you around the neighborhood?"

Seeing Si Wen's enthusiastic smile, Lin Yuqing was about to refuse without even thinking.

But Si Wen spoke first, persuading, "You've been cooped up in your room all day, how boring! Why don't you come with me to the outside of the Xiao family castle? Even if we don't see Xuan'er, we can still find out what kind of place he lives in."

"Besides, the scenery over there is beautiful, and it's very safe. Going for a walk is better than getting moldy in your room. Don't hesitate any longer, come with me for a stroll!"

Si Wen's words seemed to have moved Lin Yuqing. She bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Alright then, but I need to say hello to Kaifeng."

Seeing that Lin Yuqing had finally agreed to his request, Si Wen smiled happily and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you outside."

The moment the door closed, Si Wen's smile turned eerie, while Lin Yuqing, inside the room, immediately called Zhang Kaifeng.

But the phone rang for a long time and Zhang Kaifeng didn't answer. Lin Yuqing finally lost patience and went to change her clothes, thinking that if that guy saw her number, he would call back in a while.

However, while Lin Yuqing was changing her clothes, her phone suddenly lit up and then automatically shut down.

After quickly tidying up, Lin Yuqing reopened the door, smiled at Si Wen outside, and said, "Let's go."

Although Lin Yuqing only wore a simple ponytail and no makeup, even so, Si Wen's heart raced and his eyes gleamed with greed.

However, Si Wen concealed it very well; all his desires vanished in a flash, so quickly that Lin Yuqing thought she was seeing things.

As Lin Yuqing sat in Siwen's car, watching the scenery rushing past outside, she wondered if she would run into Xuan'er soon.

"What are you thinking about?"

Lin Yuqing raised her hand to tidy her wind-blown hair and said softly, "I'm wondering if we'll see Xuan'er where we're going later."

“Of course you can,” Si Wen said, a slightly wicked smile playing on his lips. “And you can see it very clearly!”

Lin Yuqing turned to look at Si Wen, but didn't notice anything unusual about him; she was only interested in what he had just said.

"What, is the place I'm going very close to the Xiao family?"

Si Wen nodded and said, "It is indeed very close, separated from the Xiao family castle by only a wall. If Xuan'er happens to be standing on the attic for some fresh air at that time, you can see him."
