Pei Ziheng’s heart fell. He finally said after a long time, “Do your best to preserve her reproductive capabilities.”

The doctor shook his head, his heart going out to Pei Ziheng. No man would be happy to hear that his wife would not be able to get pregnant ever again, let alone such a domineering man like Pei Ziheng.

However, such was life. There was no way to change it.

“I will do my best, but I would advise you not to harbor high hopes.” The doctor responded before walking away.

Pei Ziheng accompanied the still unconscious Xia Ling in the ward for a while. He was full of loathing for himself. If he had not had too much to drink at the evening celebrations… If he didn’t quarrel with her… If the child didn’t disappear… perhaps… just perhaps… things would not have come this far.

Yet, she was exasperating as well.

How could she suspect that he was behind the child’s disappearance?

“Xia Ling, I’m disappointed for having provided for your child for so long.” He said to Xia Ling in a cold voice as she lay unconscious in the ward bed.

The head of security came in and said to him in a low voice. “Sir, we’ve investigated the bungalow premises thoroughly, both inside and outside. The child is not in the bungalow. Too many guests came through the bungalow today, and they were all in dress suits and evening gowns. There weren’t many who brought large bags or carriers; hence, it would be hard for them to have taken the child away. Other than these people, in the period that the child could have gone missing, the only vehicle that went through the premises was a rubbish truck. Judging by the size of the truck, there is a high possibility that they could have taken the child away.”

“Investigate that truck.” Pei Ziheng said. He needed to find that child urgently to wash himself clean of the incident. He stood up as he finished his sentence, saying, “I’ll go with you.”

“But Sir… we need to go to the rubbish disposal grounds…”

Pei Ziheng glanced coldly at the head of security, who immediately shut his mouth and silently led Pei Ziheng to the car and drove towards the rubbish disposal grounds.

It was 4 am in the morning.

The wide rubbish disposal grounds was desolate under the dark night sky as a sole crescent moon shone over it.

Pei Ziheng and the head of security spread out to begin the search.

Rubbish was piled up all around with all kinds of trash. As Pei Ziheng trod through the trash in his expensive hand-woven leather shoes, many cockroaches and rats went scurrying around. Pei Ziheng did not expect himself to have to walk through such a filthy place to look for a child that had absolutely no blood ties with him.

If that child was thrown into a rubbish bin, poured into the rubbish truck and thrown here… would he still be alive? He could have died from his skin rotting from all this filthiness, or maybe bitten to death by the cockroaches and mice in the vicinity.

As Pei Ziheng thought of these possibilities, he suddenly felt bad for the child. The child’s clear and bright eyes came to the forefront of his mind. The child was smiling at him, stretching out his small arms asking to be carried… such an innocent and beautiful sight.

Pei Ziheng frowned slightly and waved away the weird feelings that had emerged in him.

He told himself that he was only looking for the child to be able to absolve himself from blame with Xiao Ling.
