Chapter 2248: Chapter 2248: The Child Isn’t Right

Little Sister Luo’s baby was born last night; she only found out this morning when she received a notification text from Teacher Peng.

You could say Little Sister Luo was fairly lucky compared to other patients, managing to carry the fetus to thirty‑eight weeks and deliver at term. The mother’s hard work was the primary factor, and Little Sister Luo earned praise from all the medical staff.

Brother Luo had long since arranged a rental place, waiting to bring his sister and the baby home after she delivered safely. The siblings planned to raise the child themselves.

As for what attitude Hu Hao had, and what attitude the Hu Family had, the Luo Family Siblings were no longer pursuing it. There was no point in pursuing it; their minds were set solely on the baby.

What no one expected was that Hu Hao had secretly come to the hospital multiple times to quietly check on Little Sister Luo and the baby.

Zhao Wenzong had gotten wind of this earlier, because when he went to return Hu Hao’s wallet, Hu Hao refused to take it back.

Since Zhao Wenzong himself wasn’t wealthy, the long‑term hospitalization costs were an amount he couldn’t possibly afford, so he could only use Hu Hao’s money to front Little Sister Luo’s hospital bills. From a moral and practical standpoint, this was money Hu Hao ought to pay.

What was Hu Hao thinking? Why was he suddenly willing to pay for Little Sister Luo?

Word was he’d been having nightmares. The depiction of an induced abortion she, Xie Wanying, had given him that day had caused Hu Hao to have nightmares for many days. Hu Hao figured he’d spend money to ward off calamity, as long as Little Sister Luo and Brother Luo no longer demanded that he marry Little Sister Luo.

When Little Sister Luo went into labor yesterday, Hu Hao knew about it. After the baby was born, Hu Hao came to see the child.

The baby was delivered by cesarean section and sent to the neonatology department for a period of observation after birth. When Hu Hao came, he could only use connections to ask an acquaintance to take him into the ward so he could take a quick look at the baby. Of course, the medical staff had first asked for the consent of the biological mother, Little Sister Luo.

However things were, in Little Sister Luo’s mind she didn’t intend to deny that the baby’s father was Hu Hao.

Brother Luo was busy earning money to support his sister and the baby and didn’t notice any of this.

After the teacher reported that mother and child were safe, Xie Wanying planned to visit Little Sister Luo and her baby in a couple of days when she had time. With the teachers at Beidou Third Hospital taking care of them, everything should be stable, and there was no need for her to worry excessively.

And now Hu Hao was calling her?

"Xie Wanying, can you come have a look at the baby?" Hu Hao said to her, getting straight to the point without beating around the bush.

"What’s wrong?" Xie Wanying asked.

"They said a bunch of things, said they suspect there’s some problem with the baby. All I know is there’s something off with the kid, the belly’s bigger than the other babies’." Hu Hao said, his tone thick with an anxiety‑disorder kind of vibe.

Xie Wanying had heard Teacher Peng’s earlier description, saying the baby’s Apgar scores at birth were acceptable. What on earth had happened all of a sudden?

"I need you to come over as soon as you can," Hu Hao insisted. "Right now I can’t bring myself to trust anyone else. I know you’re the only one who’ll tell me the truth."

Classmate Xie spoke far too bluntly—she wouldn’t flatter, wouldn’t sugarcoat anything, totally out of sync with Hu Hao’s crowd, and he didn’t like her for it. Yet at this critical moment, Hu Hao abruptly realized that somehow only this dead‑straight "truth‑teller" Student Xie felt reliable.

Holding the phone, Xie Wanying turned around and found all the eyes in the living room on her, including those of the Bosses.

Teacher Lu asked, "What’s wrong with you?"

"A classmate of mine has something going on and wants me to go over and help out," Xie Wanying said.

"Have some tea, Teacher." After washing the cup, Fu Xinheng poured another cup of tea for Teacher Lu.

"You’re not concerned at all?" Teacher Lu questioned him, puzzled by how calm he was.

Fu Xinheng’s faint gaze seemed to say that this wasn’t the first time Student Xie had come off as a super busy person in front of him.
