The Lost Omega Heiress is Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 32.2
She took a deep breath, took Shi Anzhi’s cold hand, and gently placed it on her own lower abdomen.
“An Zhi, what if I told you I’m pregnant?”
Hearing this, Shi Anzhi’s eyes widened instantly.
She stared at Shen Tingxue’s face in disbelief, then lowered her gaze to Shen Tingxue’s abdomen.
“What did you say.?”
Shen Tingxue bit her lip, her expression tinged with a hint of unspoken shyness. “I’m pregnant. It’s your child.”
In that moment, struck by the immense impact, Shi Anzhi cast aside all distracting thoughts. Only one idea remained in her mind she and Shen Tingxue were going to have a child.
The knot of melancholy in her heart seemed to crumble away. She cautiously reached out to feel Shen Tingxue’s abdomen. “Really?”
“When did this happen?”
They hadn’t been in the Special Zone for long. Could it have happened back in the R Zone? During her heat cycle?
Shen Tingxue observed the mix of shock and overwhelming joy on Shi Anzhi’s face, and her anxious heart finally settled.
It seemed she had gambled and won.
As long as this child existed, Shi Anzhi wouldn’t leave her for now. She would treat her well again, wouldn’t go with anyone else, and would remain loyal to her.
Shen Tingxue almost laughed at the nonexistent happiness, murmuring vaguely, “I was just as surprised when the doctor told me, but I’m very happy.”
“Anzhi, when I said earlier that the medicine He Lanshuang gave you was poor, I wasn’t lying. I want the Shen family’s medical team to treat you now, and then let’s hurry home, okay?”
As she spoke, tears welled up in Shen Tingxue’s eyes, and she confessed sincerely, “Right now, I just want to be at home with you. I’m so afraid of losing you.”
Shi Anzhi had no reason to refuse. She gave a soft “Mm” in agreement.
Shen Tingxue quickly summoned the expert medical team, which had already arrived and was waiting at the furnace, to come in and administer a faster, more advanced treatment plan for Shi Anzhi.
The lead doctor entered and bowed respectfully to Shen Tingxue. “Miss, shall we start with the Prometheus Type-3 Repair Solution?”
Shen Tingxue nodded and explained to Shi Anzhi, “It’s a newly developed repair solution from the lab, not yet on the market. It will help you recover quickly so we can go home sooner.”
Shi Anzhi murmured in agreement, trusting Shen Tingxui completely.
The doctor approached, pressing an unfamiliar device against Shi Anzhi’s vein. A chill ran down her arm, followed by a faint sting.
[Gene sequence scan in progress. Scan complete.]
[Matching the most suitable repair protocol. Protocol confirmed.]
[Initiating injection of Prometheus Type-3 Nano Repair Solution.]
A cold, automated voice announced.
Shi Anzhi could feel a metallic-scented liquid slowly flowing into her vein.
Her body began to feel itchy and warm, as if something was coursing through her bloodstream, rushing toward every injured part of her body.
Under the influence of the medication, Shi Anzhi grew drowsy. She grasped Shen Tingxue’s hand and called out her lover’s name with lingering affection, “Ah Xue…”
Soon, Shi Anzhi closed her eyes, her grip on Shen Tingxue’s hand gradually loosening.
Exhausted, she fell asleep.
Shen Tingxue took Shi Anzhi’s hand again, leaning down slightly to rest her cheek in Shi Anzhi’s palm, as if Shi Anzhi were caressing her.
The night had grown quiet. Shen Tingxue dismissed the medical team.
She stared at Shi Anzhi’s face for a long time, lost in thought, then wept silently for a while.
What should I do?
After a long while, she connected to Chu Yi and issued a cold, commanding order.
[Chu Yi, prepare the HIG-Max High-Fidelity Rabbit Pregnancy Hormone for me immediately. I want the highest concentration.]
Chu Yi replied promptly.
[Understood, Miss. Is this for a specific experiment?]
The name “Leporin” sounded harmless, yet it was one of the most notorious banned drugs in the gray areas of Shen Pharmaceuticals.
Originally developed for assisted reproduction research in rare animals, some ill-intentioned researchers later discovered its potential effects on Omegas. This hormone could forcibly stimulate the pituitary gland, tricking the body into a highly realistic state of false pregnancy.
Over time, certain shadowy Omegas in high society began using the drug to feign pregnancy, attempting to secure an Alpha’s favor and family inheritance rights.
However, the damage caused by this drug was irreversible.
It disrupted an Omega’s endocrine system and pheromone cycle, and long-term use could lead to permanent glandular damage or even infertility.
Today, Leporin had long been classified as a top-tier banned drug by the Imperial Drug Administration. Yet, it still circulated on the black market, and many noblewomen secretly requested the Shen family to produce it.
As the heir to the Shen family, Shen Tingxue was well aware of all this.
She knew that injecting this substance into her body was no different from drinking poison to quench thirst.
Shen Tingxue steadied herself and made a decision.
[I want to use it on myself.]
Chu Yi’s voice turned panicked, replying in an unusually flustered manner.
[Why?]
[Miss, have you lost your mind? Leporin has too many side effects. In the short term, you’ll rapidly exhibit all the symptoms of a real pregnancy nausea, vomiting, abdominal swelling, breast tenderness, and even lactation.]
[In the long run, it could permanently disrupt your pheromones. Are you doing this to deal with the Governor’s Mansion?]
[I’m sorry, Miss, I’m getting too emotional. You cannot use this!]
Shen Tingxue cut her off, her tone resolute.
[I’m ordering you to prepare it. It’s only temporary. Nothing will happen.]
[Chu Yi, this is an order.]
If she could just buy some time, she would find another way to keep Shi Anzhi.
The communication in her mind fell into dead silence.
After a long pause, Chu Yi replied in a worried tone.
[Understood, Miss.]
[Miss, I will expedite the experiment. For now, when will you bring that Alpha to the lab? Please believe me, you don’t need to resort to this to handle the Governor’s Mansion.]
[Our entire team is dedicated to your cause. Please trust us, will you?]
Shen Tingxue’s eyes grew moist. She knew that many researchers in the lab were working tirelessly day and night for her plan.
If the truth came to light, all those loyal to her would face repercussions alongside her.
Shen Tingxue’s mind was in chaos.
Since regaining her memories, she found it impossible to think as calmly as before. Without sedatives, she felt restless and unable to make rational decisions.
But she was running out of time.
She rubbed her temples.
[Chu Yi, tell me, is there an extraction method that can reduce the pain?]
[Miss, the capabilities of the Shi family’s pheromones have already overturned our existing theories. Without direct testing, any method carries unknown risks.]
Chu Yi replied with difficulty.
[Theoretically, we could temporarily block Miss Shi’s pain perception through neural blockers, or we could try psychological induction to unconsciously release her pheromones while she’s in deep sleep.]
[However, these solutions require more in-depth testing of Miss Shi’s body. We need to know if she has any adverse reactions to our medications and how strong her mental fortitude is.]
[You’ll need to bring Miss Shi to the laboratory for us to make the most accurate assessment.]
Shen Tingxue gazed at Shi Anzhi’s sleeping face, tears falling.
[I understand.]
That night, she remained awake until dawn.
When sunlight rose again, it was already noon. Shi Anzhi woke up feeling the physical pain had significantly subsided. The bruises from the impact had surprisingly faded in such a short time, with some having completely disappeared.
At this moment, Shen Tingxue was sitting in a chair by the bed, holding a silver fruit knife and carefully peeling an apple.
Her lowered eyelids and serene expression made Shi Anzhi somewhat dazed.
Shen Tingxue now looked very much like Nian Xue.
After that boxing match in District R, Nian Xue had been heartbroken. During that period, she rushed to handle chores, learned to cook, wanting to take good care of Shi Anzhi.
“Awake?”
Shen Tingxue looked up, smiling gently, “Feeling better?”
“Mhm.”
Shi Anzhi nodded, cherishing their current time together.
Shen Tingxue cut the peeled apple into small pieces, placed them in a bowl, speared one with a fork, and brought it to Shi Anzhi’s lips.
“Try it. I still don’t seem very good at peeling.”
The entire apple had become noticeably smaller.
Shi Anzhi looked at Shen Tingxue, noticing the dark circles under her eyes – clear signs of a sleepless night.
She opened her mouth and took a bite of the apple. It was crisp and sweet.
“Delicious,” she said.
Shen Tingxue speared another piece, but this time Shi Anzhi gently pushed her hand back. “You have some too.”
Shen Tingxue paused for a moment before taking a bite of the apple.
Preoccupied with her thoughts, everything tasted bland to her. She forced herself to chew a few times.
After swallowing, she put down the fork and made up her mind.
“Anzhi.”
Shen Tingxue looked at Shi Anzhi, her voice soft, “Haven’t you always wanted to know what I’ve been doing at the laboratory?”
“Oh?”
Shi Anzhi’s eyes brightened slightly. Was Shen Tingxue finally willing to open up to her?
Shen Tingxue held Shi Anzhi’s hand, her tea-colored eyes glistening with moisture. “I’ve been trying to find a way to cure you.”
“I’m sorry for calling you disabled before. I was wrong. I know it must have hurt you deeply. It’s all my fault.”
Her voice trembled increasingly, “But I really don’t want to hear anyone use the word ‘cripple’ to humiliate you again.”
“I don’t want when our child is born, for someone to point at their other mother and say.”
Shen Tingxue stopped here, as if unable to continue, but this hesitation pained Shi Anzhi more than any words could.
Yes, Shi Anzhi hadn’t considered this last night. What if their child was mocked for having a disabled mother after being born? This was something she absolutely couldn’t bear to see.
The gland restoration surgery. Shi Anzhi recalled that advertisement again.
Was there really such a procedure? She was willing to try, even if there were risks.
Shen Tingxue looked into Shi Anzhi’s eyes. “My subordinates have identified the issue with your abnormal gland. They said they’ve developed a preliminary plan, but they need to conduct a comprehensive examination to determine the final treatment method.”
“Let’s find a time to go to the laboratory together.”
“Are you willing?”
