The next day, Su Maiqi was much better.

The violent impact and shock of the car accident caused her to lose consciousness briefly, but this time there was no obvious physical damage.

In the afternoon, she was reading alone in her hospital bed when Dr. Lin came in: "Mrs. Gu, it's been a long time. How have you been lately? Have you been feeling unwell?"

Su Maiqi was a little surprised and put down her book: "That's great. Dr. Lin, it's been a long time. What brings you here?" Dr. Lin didn't belong to this department, nor was he her attending physician, so she shouldn't have been able to see him.

"I came to check on your situation and wanted to discuss something with you. Our hospital recently has a medical project related to immune diseases, and you are a case of someone whose immune disease was cured through fetal intervention."

The hospital would like to request your participation in our project and cooperation with some examinations. Is that alright?

Su Maiqi stood there, stunned: "What immune disease? Cured because of the fetus?"

"You didn't know?" This time it was Dr. Lin's turn to be surprised. He paused for a long time before speaking with difficulty: "I'm sorry, didn't Mr. Gu tell you?"

I didn't tell you at first because I was afraid you'd worry, but you found out after you were cured. I'm sorry, I was abrupt.

After saying this, Dr. Lin was a little at a loss. Saying this violated the promise of confidentiality, but since he had already started, he could only tell the truth.

Countless thoughts flashed through Su Maiqi's mind in an instant.

An immune disorder? When did she have an immune disorder? Was it during her pregnancy? But her health was excellent throughout her pregnancy; apart from some morning sickness and fatigue, she didn't have any abnormal symptoms.

She tried hard to recall the scene, attempting to find some clues.

But no matter what, he couldn't remember having any serious illness.

"Dr. Lin, please tell me the truth." Su Maiqi's voice trembled slightly, but her eyes were incredibly determined. "What illness do I have? Why is Gu Tingyu hiding it from me?"

Dr. Lin sighed and sat down by the hospital bed.

He hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Su Maiqi the truth.

"Actually, you were diagnosed with a rare immune system disorder in early pregnancy," Dr. Lin said slowly. "At that time, there were no obvious external symptoms, but the disease was progressing significantly."

This disease is currently incurable with modern medicine, but there are some special cases where the fetus undergoes a gene mutation precisely during the mother's pregnancy.

The special protein in this mutated product binds to the mother's immune cells, which can regulate the mother's immune system, potentially offering a cure.

"Mr. Lin wanted to keep the fetus and take a gamble. He was also worried that his emotions would affect your condition, so he asked me to keep it a secret. He was very nervous afterward and had regular check-ups."

The nutritional supplements he gave you were also medicine. Luckily, you won the gamble; your postpartum checkup six months later showed you were fully recovered.

Upon hearing this, Su Maiqi couldn't hold back her tears.

So this was the real reason Gu Tingyu insisted on having the child: to save his own life.

She suddenly remembered that during the time she had amnesia, she was influenced by her sister and really wanted a child; Gu Tingyu was still hesitant.

Even after she became pregnant, she was heartbroken because of his hesitation and lack of initiative.

Later, he suddenly became very eager to have the child, and it turned out that this was the reason.

He would rather bear all the responsibility and pressure than let her know the truth, so as not to make her worry and blame herself.

Su Maiqi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, a strong sense of guilt and gratitude welling up in her heart.

She recalled her misunderstandings and accusations against Gu Tingyu during this period, and felt that he himself wanted a child and, during her amnesia, completely disregarded her feelings, betraying their contract and promise.

But now she realizes that Gu Tingyu has already given his whole heart and courage in this relationship.

"Dr. Lin, I'm happy to cooperate with your hospital's project," Su Maiqi said firmly, wiping away her tears. "If my case can help more patients, that would be wonderful."

Dr. Lin smiled with relief: "Thank you, Mrs. Gu. On behalf of the hospital, I thank you for your support and cooperation. We will definitely make good use of this case to bring hope to more patients."

Su Maiqi looked at Dr. Lin with mixed feelings: "Thank you, Dr. Lin. May I see your medical records and examination reports from that time?"

“Of course.” Dr. Lin stood up. “I’ll go get it for you right away.”

Twenty minutes later, Dr. Lin brought over all the original medical records and examination data.

Su Maiqi read it carefully from her hospital bed.

The pages of paper record the life-and-death trials she and her child went through, and also bear witness to Gu Tingyu's unwavering love and courage.

Her heart pounded with the medical records in her hands, and every detail of the treatment deeply moved and touched her.

Unbeknownst to her, while she was losing consciousness and memory, a man was silently protecting her from behind, doing everything in his power to save her and her child's lives.

How could she possibly ignore such love?

How could she possibly abandon such a sacrifice?

Su Maiqi clutched the medical record tightly to her chest, tears blurring her vision once again.
