Rebirth from the Ashes-Chapter 397 - Not Pregnant

“Mr. Ning, I’ll do my best for Young Master Ning.” That was all Shen Xi could say at the moment as she could not make any promises to save his son.

For the time being, Shen Xi theorized that the neurotoxin had attacked his nervous system, but it was not clear to what extent the damage was. Further blood analysis would be needed.

“Dr. Shen, are you saying that Nian… Could Nian be saved?” Uncle Ning trembled, but he did not put too much hope and only asked in desperation.

“Can we step aside to talk?” Shen Xi asked Uncle Ning. Pei Xu had informed her that Uncle Ning could be trusted when they left the ward earlier.

Uncle Ning tried to suppress his excitement and elation. Perhaps his son could be saved and there was still hope. He followed Shen Xi into the car.

Only then did Shen Xi look at him seriously and said, “This is my preliminary diagnosis. Young Master Ning’s state is not entirely because of the car accident, but because he was poisoned with neurotoxins, which worsened his condition.”

Generally, with proper care and medical resources which the Ning family could afford, it would not be a problem for someone in a vegetative state to live for a decade or at least eight years.

Uncle Ning froze for a moment. His lips were quivering. “You mean… Nian was poisoned?”

Shen Xi told him her deductions. In the face of the patient’s family member, she was honest about the patient’s real situation.

After listening to her, Uncle Ning and Pei Xu gasped and tacitly thought of Xu Wei.

Pei Xu felt the urge to kill Xu Wei to avenge Ning Sinian’s death.

Uncle Ning calmed down upon hearing this. He would find out who did this to his son, but the most pressing matter was to save his son’s life, so he looked at Shen Xi and said, “Dr. Shen, no matter how much money you need to spend for whatever you need, just tell me. As long as you can save Nian, my family will be forever indebted to you and will help you as best as we can with anything in the future.”

He knew that this miracle doctor must be from some hidden prestigious family. This young doctor only practiced medicine as a passion, not for money or profit. Uncle Ning understood he did not have much to offer, so he could only promise this much.

Shen Xi was shocked for a moment after hearing what he said. This was a big commitment, equivalent to the Ning family willingly promising to be her slave in the future. Uncle Ning must really love his son to say this. “Mr. Ning, don’t worry. I’ll do my best.”

Since Uncle Ning had made such a huge promise, Shen Xi must also reply sincerely. Even if Uncle Ning did not promise her anything, she would do her best too.

She came over to treat Ning Sinian not because of the Ning family, but because Pei Xu had taken the initiative to ask her for help.

“Dr. Shen, what do I have to do next?” Uncle Ning asked her.

This was the first time he had seen such a mature young man with such excellent medical skills at this age. This doctor would become a great asset in the future.

“Don’t alarm the enemy.” Shen Xi looked at him. “Send trusted people to watch over Young Master Ning and don’t let anyone suspicious approach him. I have to fly to Country M now. If there are no hiccups, I’ll be back in two days.”

Shen Xi had already taken a blood sample and was going to fly to the Fu family’s medical laboratory to personally analyze the structural composition of the toxin.

Uncle Ning nodded solemnly and said he would personally keep watch over his son and would not let anyone get close to him.

“Pei Xu, you should accompany Mr. Ning.” Shen Xi suddenly looked at the quiet beautiful assistant sitting next to her.

Pei Xu did not expect her to address him suddenly, and he never wanted to appear in this manner, but he might as well.

He had been frank and open all his life and had never had to hide like this before. Cross-dressing just made him feel suffocated.

When Uncle Ning heard her, he froze for a moment and looked at Pei Xu, who had taken off his wig.

Uncle Ning was speechless for a while. It was unfair to Pei Xu if he said he hated Pei Xu, but he still pushed all the blame on Pei Xu because he had nowhere to vent his anger.

“Uncle…” Pei Xu greeted him.

Uncle Ning’s eyes were red as hatred spilled from his eyes.

Shen Xi told him the truth. “Mr. Ning, to be honest, it was not the Situ family that found me. It was him. He was the one who begged me to see Young Master Ning, but he was afraid that you wouldn’t believe me if I came over directly, so he borrowed the Situ family’s name.”

Pei Xu was concerned about the Ning family. He was a sentimental person, so Shen Xi wanted to give him a push to sort things out between them as soon as possible.

Shen Xi could tell that the Ning couple were reasonable people, especially Uncle Ning. Through their short interaction, he seemed to be a gentle and gracious man.

Uncle Ning’s hatred for Pei Xu was not accumulated in a day or two. From time to time, he probably heard Xu Wei bad-mouthing Pei Xu to the point he no longer wanted to see Pei Xu.

When Uncle Ning heard Shen Xi say this, his reasoning finally overshadowed his hatred, but he only glanced at Pei Xu coldly and did not say anything.

Shen Xi then said, “Mr. Ning, I think you’d better investigate your daughter-in-law’s pregnancy.”

The moment Shen Xi bumped into Xu Wei earlier, she took her pulse covertly, and it was not the pulse of someone pregnant.

Shen Xi was unsure if Xu Wei was pregnant and had a miscarriage or if Xu Wei had never been pregnant from the beginning.

Uncle Ning looked at Shen Xi incredulously. “She’s not pregnant?”

The past few days were too chaotic. First, they received Xu Wei’s sex tape from Pei Xu, then a notice from the doctor about their son, followed by Xu Wei saying that she was pregnant.

Aunt Ning even accompanied Xu Wei for a DNA test to make sure the child in Xu Wei’s womb was Nian’s child. That was why the Ning family protected Xu Wei.

The Ning couple hated Xu Wei the most.

Their precious son was played by this woman and they were fooled for two years thinking that she was infatuated with their son. They were touched by her dedication and loved her as if she were their daughter.

Shen Xi was certain. “I helped her earlier when she almost fell at the door.”

That was all she said, but it was clear what she implied.

Uncle Ning naturally understood that Dr. Shen, the miracle doctor, must have been able to find out whether Xu Wei was pregnant just by feeling her pulse. The look in his eyes became more disturbed. “Thank you, Dr. Shen.”

Shen Xi said what she wanted to, so she got Pei Xu to go back with her and pick up some things for the Nings later.

Uncle Ning stood in place and watched the car leave.

He did not expect his son to wake up and become a normal person and dared not probe further. As long as Nian’s life could be preserved, even if he would be in a vegetative state for life, they would be satisfied.

After their car disappeared from his sight, Uncle Ning turned to leave. His usually warm eyes turned murderous when he thought of what Shen Xi just said.

Xu Wei was full of nonsense.
