The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

% Mortality Rate

"That's for sure," Dr. Andrew answered without hesitation. "Women who are diagnosed with this disease have an 80% chance of a heart attack during labor! After all, labor itself is already extremely risky. The mental pressure on top of physical pain will maximize the uncertainties in the environment. To have a heart attack in such a situation would multiply the danger of the heart attack to 99%! In fact, to this day, there has not been a single woman with this disease who had an attack during labor and survived. Instead, there were several cases where both the mother and the baby died during labor." 1

Dr. Andrew described the situation as extremely critical, and Julian could feel his hand trembling as h e listened.

His voice was a little dry, "There is no chance of survival up until this day?"

"Yes, not even now," Dr. Andrew confirmed. "Hence,1 it's why we usually advise women who are diagnosed with this disease to avoid labor. If not, it would not only affect the mother's health but also put the child i n an extremely dangerous situation. Mr. Shaw, did you suddenly ask me about this because you know a woman who is diagnosed with this disease? If that's the case, it would be best to advise her not to get pregnant.”

"I understand." Julian lowered his gaze, and he could feel his heart shaking. "Can this disease be diagnosed medically?"

"Latent hereditary heart diseases usually do not show any symptoms before the first heart attack. If the previous three generations all had sudden, unexpected heart attacks, especially those with extremely high risks, then the patient would usually b e diagnosed with this type of latent hereditary heart disease,” Dr. Andrew said.

'Which means..

'Susie is basically medically diagnosed with this type o f disease.’

After ending the call, Julian was devastated.

He had faced countless challenges since birth, but he had never feared them.

Yet, this time, hearing Dr. Andrew's conclusion, he really felt scared.

'If an attack occurs during labor, the death rate is 99%!'

He could not let Susie risk herself.

"Julian, have you finished your call?" Suddenly, a cheeky voice spoke behind him.

Julian turned around quickly and saw Susan looking a t him with a smile.

"Susie!" Julian raised his voice, "Why are you here?"

Julian's reaction was a little unexpected. Susan blinked and smiled, "What's wrong? I wanted to give you a surprise. Do you not welcome me?"

"I do." Julian calmed himself down. "The call just now"

"What's wrong with the call? Showing your English off?" Susan looked at him enviously, "I at least passed English level four. I still understood a few phrases, okay?"

"What did you hear?" Julian's body was tense. He did not want Susan to know about the disease yet.

Susan recalled her memories and started listing, "I heard 'doctor,' 'yes,' 'no,' and 'bye-bye.' I understood all of those. Aren't I amazing?"

"...Yes."

Julian silently let out a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as Susie did not understand.

"Why are you so nervous?" Susan glared at him with feigned anger, "Could it be that the doctor was actually a female and you were flirting with her?"

Julian knocked her forehead speechlessly, "What’s going on in your mind?"

"You're the one behaving strangely," Susan rubbed her forehead and murmured to herself.

Julian looked at Susan's energetic behavior and a bitter taste rose in his mouth.

'Susie... Can you tell me what I should do?

'No, I'd rather you not.

'I’ll make all the difficult decisions for us.

'I hope that you will always be happy.'

Susan did not notice Julian's strange reaction, and she cheered up quickly. "Julian, our baby is especially energetic today. He kicked me a few times! Do you wanna hear him?"

Susan looked at Julian eagerly.

Julian's gaze was gentle and his voice was raspy," Okay."

Julian bent down slowly and placed his ear on Susan's stomach.

The baby was noisy. Every few minutes, it would give Susan a soft kick.

"Hehe, I feel like he's getting stronger. Must be a naughty boy," Susan said happily.

"Yeah, he must be naughty." Julian agreed and feared up silently.

Their baby grew so well and so strong. Both Julian and Susan looked forward to his arrival in this world s o badly.

Yet, the arrival of this baby very likely meant that Susan would lose her life. 1

Julian squeezed his fist.

'Baby, if Daddy makes the final decision, would you resent Daddy?’

At this point, Julian could no longer stand hearing the baby's movements.

He stood up abruptly.

"What's wrong?" Susan looked at him in confusion.

She felt like Julian was acting a bit strange today.

“Nothing," Julian pressed his lips together. He wanted to smile, but it was a terrible smile.

Susan started worrying, "Is the company facing some difficulties?"

"No." Julian shook his head.

Everything was fine in the company.

"Is Joseph causing troubles again?" Susan asked.

Julian shook his head again.

After Joseph received the fake hard disk, he did not d o anything else. He probably sent someone to check the contents of the disk.

"Then, what happened to you?" Susan could not understand.

"Nothing," Julian forced a smile, "I am probably just too tired.”

Susan pulled Julian’s hand, "You can never finish earning money, so don't work too hard. Rest more. Also, did you not eat properly again? If you do this again, I should just bring food for you every day. You..."

Susan kept nagging.

Julian listened attentively, then, he suddenly pecked Susan on her lips to stop her nagging.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Susan blushed immediately.

"Susie," Julian rubbed her head, "You are very important to me.”

"Of course, why are you repeating something that everyone knows?" Susan lifted her chin proudly.

Susan's cheeky behavior was so adorable, but Julian could only feel sad. He said softly, "If I do something that upsets you, it must be because I love you. Susan, d o you know that?"
