I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 98: Unstable Fetal Image

Simon opened his mouth to say something, but it was already too late.

Carl fired a shot at each of his shoulders and ankles, precisely avoiding vital areas, rendering him immobile.

"Put away your pitiful Talent."

Seeing Simon quickly retract the Illusion Technique, he strode toward the bookshelf on the left and stood below Qiao Suisui with his arms spread wide.

"Come down, I'll catch you."

Qiao Suisui looked back with hesitation.

This height... could Carl really catch her...

Carl noticed her fear and didn't rush her, softening his voice, "Don't be afraid, trust me."

Qiao Suisui looked at him and saw that his usually nonchalant face was now seriously watching her.

"I'm going to let go..."

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and without further thought, let herself fall backward.

The pain she had imagined didn't come; instead, she felt herself land in a solid embrace.

She opened her eyes, met his distinctly contoured face, and saw Carl looking at her with eyes full of laughter.

"Good girl, well done," Carl praised her like one might compliment a dog, his tone exaggerated. He jostled the person in his arms and laughed, "We need to attach a weight to you before you leave the house, otherwise, you might just float away."

With that jostling, the sharp pain she had forgotten due to her fear of heights returned from her abdomen.

Carl saw Qiao Suisui's face turn pale with pain, and his expression changed abruptly.

"Did you get injured? Let me see."

He gently placed her on the table, intending to unbutton her uniform, but Qiao Suisui pressed his hand to stop him.

"Let me check, this is no joke... you..."

"I'm not injured," Qiao Suisui's voice was weak, interrupting him with a grimace, "It's... just stomach pain."

She spoke vaguely, but Carl instantly understood, his expression becoming even more tense. He carefully maneuvered around her knees, lifting Qiao Suisui horizontally in his arms while continuously reassuring her, "Don't be afraid, it will be okay," as if to comfort himself.

Qiao Suisui clung to his neck, her head weakly resting on his shoulder, as she saw him use a Breakthrough to directly open a space and hurriedly walk through with her in his arms.

As they left, Qiao Suisui glanced back slightly, seeing Simon on the ground, looking at them in surprise.

Qiao Suisui's gaze was deep as ink, inscrutable. She turned her attention back, reclining again on Carl's shoulder.

It took almost 9 seconds for them to arrive at a private clinic inside an operating room, where the sound of rock music blared, a surgeon in scrubs pulling tweezers out of a patient's chest, with a bullet at the tip.

'Clang—'

The sound of the bullet rolling onto the tray rang out, he removed his blood-stained gloves, turned off the music, and instructed the assistant, "That's it, stitch it up."

The doctor held up his hands as he walked out, immediately greeted by an assistant who helped him remove his surgical gown. First, he saw Carl standing outside the operating room, then glanced at Qiao Suisui in Carl's arms, his eyes shifting between the two a few times before he spoke, "Brother is brother, but don't break my rules here, I don't take females."

Carl spoke in a deep voice, "It was a moment of urgency, it won't happen again. Kai, take a look at her... Anyway, be quick." He constantly urged the other person toward an empty clinic room, and then, carrying Qiao Suisui, he entered, gently placing her on the bed.

Kai stood to one side with his arms crossed, revealing an auntie's smile, his face sporting a look of having bumped into something.

The entire examination process was not complicated. He used precision instruments that Qiao Suisui had never seen before to scan her from head to toe, finally, his hand holding the instrument paused on her flat belly.

"Yours?" Kai looked at Carl incredulously and then, upon seeing the thermal image of the snake cub on the electronic screen, his look toward Carl morphed into one of sympathy, as if seeing a green light above his head.

He thought to himself that it was no wonder Carl had been absent recently; he had been playing the role of a cheap father.

Carl ignored what he was thinking, simply urging repeatedly, "What's the situation?"

"The fetal image is unstable, she will definitely need to rest. Do not strain, and most importantly, avoid strong emotions as it's not good for the fetus," Kai instructed, then looked at Qiao Suisui again, muttering doubtfully to himself, "It's already the mid-term of pregnancy, how come she isn't showing yet?"

Carl wasn't in the mood to explain; he just asked anxiously, "Then why is she still in so much pain? Isn't there anything that can be done?"

Kai shook his head, "Can't prescribe painkillers in this situation; it wouldn't be good for the child. Resting overnight should alleviate it significantly."

"Are you even capable? Why don't you have any solutions? You should transfer ownership of this lousy place; don't run it anymore!"

"What the hell are you panicking about, it's not your cub. You two…"

The two were longtime friends, used to teasing each other like this, more so when not in a serious mode, but today was different. Carl's back was already soaked with sweat, looking at Qiao Suisui's frail appearance, he desperately wished he could find a way to ease her pain immediately.

Kai really wanted to ask what exactly their relationship was, but then he felt it unnecessary to ask aloud.

Carl's affection for this little female was overwhelmingly apparent. For many years, he had repeatedly urged Carl to settle down, but he was always rebutted with a curt "Mind your own business." He and Carl had grown up in an incubator institute which was a breeding base funded by the Federation; it picked and matched genes to foster in the gene pool. It could be said that the Beastmen of the incubator were specifically crafted to serve the Federation. Thus, from birth, they had no parents, only loyalty to the Federation could carve out their individuality. Among them, Carl was the most talented, unlike himself, Carl never longed for the warmth of a family. He only wanted to make himself stronger, had no desire to match with females; he thought they would only hold him back.

For many years, this was the first time Kai had seen Carl so nervous about someone. Thus, he wasn't so tactless and said reassuringly, "Don't worry too much. This lady has a special physical constitution; a few days' rest should see her completely safe and sound."

Carl was still dissatisfied, silently cursing him as a quack. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from Qiao Suisui's forehead.

Qiao Suisui nodded politely at Kai to show her appreciation, and then asked after some thought, "How did you know I am a female?"

Her Illusion Pill and Voice Changing Pills hadn't failed, so why had this doctor recognized she was a female at first glance?

Kai couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Your disguise is very convincing, but you overlooked one thing." He touched his chin and said, "Male Beastmen, no matter their shape, start growing beards once they pass adolescence. You are too clean."

Qiao Suisui suddenly realized, "Thanks for the reminder."

Kai didn't say out loud that the most crucial reason he figured out she was female was—

Carl, who typically showed little interest in others, couldn't take his eyes off her.

Kai tactfully left, leaving the two to talk privately.

Carl sat on a chair, staying next to Qiao Suisui's bed, and poured her a cup of warm water.

"Let's observe overnight here today."

Qiao Suisui agreed, as she really didn't have the energy to fuss anymore. When she received the cup of water, she heard Carl ask somewhat hesitantly, "Should we inform Zong Fang?"
