After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 1204 - 1203: Reversed Odds

The couple held each other tightly for a long time, then they parted.

"No matter what happens to the child." Huo Shiqian cupped Xia Chuyi’s face and said again, "No matter what, he will be the treasure we both love the most."

"Mm." Xia Chuyi looked at the determination in Huo Shiqian’s eyes and said, "This child will definitely be the treasure we both love the most."

"It’s just that..." Xia Chuyi suddenly gave a slight smile and said, "Actually, we don’t need to be so pessimistic."

"Husband, you know, I have miraculous ’Medicinal Food.’" Xia Chuyi hinted, "Uncle Guo said there’s a one in a thousand chance the child would be healthy. With me, maybe I can reverse those odds."

Xia Chuyi wrapped her arms around him, clearly a bit sheepish toward Huo Shiqian, and said, "There’s a one in a thousand chance our child will be healthy."

Hearing this, Huo Shiqian was instantly stunned.

The matter of the child had indeed given him a huge shock, making him forget all about Xia Chuyi’s "miraculous Medicinal Food."

As a prospective father, Huo Shiqian had truly experienced too many ups and downs today.

One could say that today’s situation was even more turbulent than when he was leading troops in battles at the border.

"Chuyi, you..." Huo Shiqian swallowed hard, looking at her, and said, "So our child will be healthy?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi shook her head and said, "Honestly, I can’t be one hundred percent sure."

"So, husband, you have to take this risk with me."

Even though Xia Chuyi said this, Huo Shiqian still held her tightly and said, "This is no longer a risk, it’s not a risk anymore..."

A reversed one in a thousand chance isn’t really a risk at all!

However, after pausing for a moment, Huo Shiqian sighed softly and said, "If, in the end, there’s still a problem with the child."

"As I said before, I may not be able to give him a splendid future, but I will definitely ensure his life is carefree," Huo Shiqian said with absolute conviction.

"Mm." Hearing Huo Shiqian’s reaffirming voice, Xia Chuyi’s lips curled into a slight smile, and she said, "No matter what, we will definitely make him happy."

"Mm." Huo Shiqian agreed.

Thus, the couple made their decision.

"Regarding this matter, Chuyi, don’t say anything, I’ll tell your parents," Huo Shiqian said after they had discussed the matter.

"Then I must trouble you," Xia Chuyi said apologetically, leaning against him.

Both the husband and wife knew that they would undoubtedly face enormous resistance.

However, they had no way to explain about the Medicinal Food to the elders.

Or even if they told them, they might not believe it.

After all, whether it’s Mrs. Gu or Mrs. Ou, their illnesses were cured by Xia Chuyi’s Medicinal Food.

But their conditions were not hopeless from the start.

Xia Chuyi truly displayed the miraculous effects on Xia Ming and Wang Zicheng.

There’s no need to mention Xia Ming’s condition; he was young, and as he grew, he became smarter, something completely plausible.

As for Wang Zicheng, Xia Chuyi didn’t directly intervene at all.

Therefore, the couple decided to keep the child, knowing they would be considered immature by the elders.

Throughout this process, whether it was Xia Chuyi or Huo Shiqian who expressed their opinion, they would likely be criticized. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Now that Xia Chuyi is pregnant, the blame could only fall on Huo Shiqian.

They even agreed on who would take the blame.

"As for Ling County... Chuyi, I will do everything I can to find the perpetrator," Huo Shiqian suddenly said, his eyes fierce.
