I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 54 Situation

Qiao Suisui’s pregnancy with six cubs was confidential, and all the informed personnel at the hospital were under 24-hour surveillance by a Light Computer. Meanwhile, the Director organized an emergency expert meeting overnight to discuss how to ensure a safe delivery for her.

Before leaving, the Director suggested to Ruka that during Qiao Suisui’s delivery, there should be at least one Ancient Human research specialist present. Upon hearing this, Ruka immediately thought of Zong Fang but then dismissed the thought, saying he would contact other experts instead.

Leberli refused to leave her side until late, only departing after his assistant sent message after message, finally caressing her belly and planting a kiss on her forehead before hurrying away.

He had to succeed this time; he could only win, not lose. Because she and the cubs all needed him.

That night, the battlefront was pushed to the limit. Neo’s men thought Leberli’s people had gone mad, one after another acting as if they had no regard for their lives.

Ruka carried Qiao Suisui back to the small building, and she didn’t fully wake up until the next day. Because of her self-healing Talent, the pressure from yesterday didn’t really affect her. But Ruka didn’t know this and had stayed up all night worriedly watching over her without closing his eyes.

"Ruka..." her voice was somewhat hoarse, for she had just woken up, and her eyes were still groggy.

"I’m here. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

She shook her head, "How did I get back? Where’s Ash?"

"He went back. You fainted at the hospital." Ruka kept his eyes down, not looking at her, gave her a cup of water, helped her dress in a skirt, and then knelt on one knee to put on her socks. Her hands and feet were prone to cold, and now that she had a large belly, she couldn’t bend down; she couldn’t put on socks by herself even if she wanted to.

She noticed his mood was very low and knew he was blaming himself. She rolled her eyes and withdrew her foot, hiding it from him so he couldn’t put her sock on, intending to tease him. But then she saw the man holding one of her feet, staring blankly into space.

"Ruka, what’s the matter?"

She had never seen him so utterly at a loss.

The man looked up, his eyes already red, the whites streaked with blood vessels.

"Suisui, can we not have the babies, please?"

He was afraid something would happen to her.

The last time she had given birth at the Imperial Court, he had inquired about the process afterward. The more he learned, the more frightened he became. Now that everyone was used to gene incubation, they didn’t pay enough attention to the importance of childbirth and the necessary safety measures. He felt that every time Qiao Suisui gave birth, it was a narrow escape from death, not to mention the hours of excruciating pain she endured. Just thinking about it filled him with an unbearable heartache.

For the first time, Qiao Suisui saw such a vulnerable Ruka. She couldn’t help but embrace him and, just as he would pat her back to coax her to sleep, she gently patted his broad back and said softly, "It’ll be okay, right? You’ll be by my side this time, won’t you?"

Ruka clung to her tightly, too choked up to speak.

Following that, the usually quiet and isolated second floor of the small building suddenly bustled with activity.

Ruka called in a professional medical team to monitor Qiao Suisui’s health and deal with any emergencies that might occur during delivery. He also set up a professional birthing area on the second floor, having heard that water births could aid in the delivery, so he prepared everything meticulously.

In the past few days, Qiao Suisui had hardly set foot on the ground by herself. Wherever she wanted to go, Ruka would carry her, except when she used the toilet—the one thing she expressly forbade him from following her. At all other times, he stayed by her side, tending to her daily needs.

Her pregnancy had made movements cumbersome, and perhaps fearing she would trip on the stairs, he was constantly on edge.

Ever since Carl returned from the hospital that day, Qiao Suisui had not seen him. She had knocked on his room door, confirming no one was inside before pushing the door open to check; she found only an empty sports bag left behind. But since she was running an inn, she didn’t particularly concern herself with the comings and goings of guests. Carl had paid for three days of lodging, so Qiao Suisui reserved his room for three days. When he still hadn’t returned by noon on the fourth day, she made room number 1 available again.

The medical team stayed in the other four rooms, and the living room was usually quite lively. There was even someone assigned to conduct physical check-ups for the young one, and to prepare the three daily meals for Qiao Suisui.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Leberli crushed the previously unclear situation with an iron fist, taking on an exceptionally assertive style and rapidly accelerating the whole process. What would normally take five to six days to resolve was settled in just two days.

Neo, unwilling to be taken prisoner, escaped from the Imperial Court with the help of his subordinates. The Federation issued a notice to all member states, issuing a warrant for Neo, explicitly naming him as the murderer of Gorba III. Then, Auslan welcomed a new Sun, and everything that followed seemed only natural.

Lanze never got to see the day he and Qiao Suisui would register their union, because Leberli found him first.

"Do you leave on your own, or should I arrange it?"

Leberli swirled the wine glass in his hand, dressed in the Emperor’s uniform, with golden tassels running from his shoulders to his left chest. The red formal attire had shed its usually extravagant and flamboyant style, becoming somber yet magnificent. It made him appear completely refined, devoid of his usual laxity.

"Suisui is soft-hearted; she only agreed to be your spouse out of pity for you. I won’t kill you, but you can’t see her again."

"Why not kill me? Are you afraid she’ll despise you if you do?" Lanze chuckled lightly. "Is this why you usurped power? To monopolize her with your authority?"

Leberli leisurely sipped his wine and after finishing a mouthful, finally spoke, "How are you any different from me, Lanze? Are your legs truly beyond healing?"

Lanze’s smile faded, his fingertips turned white.

Leberli continued, "As long as you leave Auslan forever, I can spare you. Or do you think I should just tell Suisui that you’ve deceived her? That you took advantage of her kindness to monopolize her, just like I’m using power to do the same. Which is more despicable?"

Lanze denied it, "I never intended to monopolize her. I’ve seen my father’s fate and I know that ultimately, you are Auslan’s Sun. For me, I never thought about competing with you for anything."

Leberli sneered, "If you foresaw this day, why did you foolishly wait for me to deal with you?"

Because she had said it—she had said in person that she wanted to go register with him.

Lanze bowed his head, his grip on the wheelchair’s handle tightening.

Leberli grew impatient with further negotiation and stood up to leave, ordering, "Leave tonight. I’ll have someone watch over you, and to Suisui, I’ll just say you’ve gone to treat your legs."

"You better not try to confine her," Lanze stood up from the wheelchair, facing the direction of Leberli, his words sounding like both an admonition and advice, "Between you and her, no outcome is the best outcome."

Leberli turned back at his words, his face darkened, his gaze cold.

"No matter what happens, I will never let go; I don’t need you to foresee anything between her and me."

Lanze heard Leberli’s departing footsteps and sat down in the wheelchair, soulless.

He knew this day would come—the day was exactly ten days since he had told Suisui. He had observed the power struggle between Leberli and Neo, unable to understand how the previously unclear and delayable situation had suddenly changed so rapidly, as if someone had pressed the fast-forward button.

Foreknowledge is foreknowledge; he could not change the fate of others. So all he could do was watch from the sidelines.

He wrote a letter using a limited-use pen, sealed it with wax, and handed it to Gamma.

"Suisui, I hope you can change your own fate."
