Chapter 1076 - 1038: A Headache of a Major Problem

After a busy day, Lin Jie and Qin Gang left the office together.As soon as they left the office, Qin Gang hesitated before speaking: "Leyi is still more than two weeks away from her due date. My mom and she are both a bit worried..."

"That... that..."

Seeing his hesitant look, Lin Jie smiled and said, "I'll speak to the obstetrics department about it. When the time comes, we'll have an experienced obstetrician deliver Yang Leyi's baby."

"Also, if possible, opt for a natural delivery."

"You can choose the painless natural childbirth technique; this technique is very mature now, and the mother doesn't endure much pain during the process."

Qin Gang responded with a nod and scratched his head, feeling somewhat helpless, "That's what both my mom and I say, but Leyi is a bit scared. So we'll decide based on how she feels at the time."

"Lin Jie, can you do a prenatal check-up for Leyi?"

Lin Jie asked, "Have any issues been found in the previous regular check-ups?"

Qin Gang shook his head and said, "No, actually. It's just that both Leyi and my mom are overly cautious. They believe that your confirmation of no issues is the real assurance."

Understanding the anxious mindset of a pregnant mother, Lin Jie chuckled lightly, "No problem, have Yang Leyi come by the hospital in the next couple of days."

"Thank you! Lin Jie, I'm really troubling you."

Qin Gang said with a difficult expression, "I know you're very busy, but my mom and Leyi are constantly worrying, and it's honestly hard for me to keep up."

Lin Jie laughed and said, "I understand, during these times, the pregnant woman is the most important..."

In between their conversation, the two took the elevator to the ground floor.

After exiting the main building, they reached the parking lot.

Qin Gang walked around the car, intending to perform a routine inspection, when he unexpectedly saw a tiny pink bundle leaning against the front wheel on the other side of the car.

As he approached, he noticed it was a little girl about three or four years old, wearing a fairly thick pink cartoon plush coat, her eyes slightly closed, and surprisingly asleep leaning against the tire.

"Lin Jie..."

Lin Jie, on the other side of the car, saw Qin Gang's gesture and quickly stepped over to join him, noticing the little girl too.

Qin Gang surveyed the surroundings and said quietly, "Could she be a severely ill little girl who's been abandoned?"

Due to various reasons, some seriously ill patients, especially infants and toddlers, are abandoned by their families; this isn't uncommon at the Affiliated Hospital.

"First, go inquire with security, check the surveillance footage."

Lin Jie instructed Qin Gang, then squatted in front of the little girl.

The little girl was indeed quite beautiful and cute, with rosy cheeks, long eyelashes, a tiny nose, and an adorable little dimple.

As if sensing Lin Jie's gaze, the little one puckered her lips, her eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Lin Jie saw a pair of crystal-clear eyes.

He smiled and, trying to act like a charmingly innocent boy-next-door, gently asked, "Cute little girl, why did you fall asleep here?"

"Where are your family members?"

Upon seeing Lin Jie, the little one hurriedly stood up.

She first looked Lin Jie up and down, and after confirming him, she furrowed her small nose, pursed her lips, and her eyes immediately filled with tears as she reached out to hug Lin Jie's neck.

Meanwhile, Lin Jie heard a soft, sniffling child's voice saying, "Uncle, why did you take so long to come? I've been waiting for you for so long."

Uncle?

Lin Jie was flabbergasted; since when did he have such a beautiful niece?

Once the little girl's emotions stabilized a bit, Lin Jie gently released her embrace, looked into her eyes, and as tenderly as possible asked, "Little girl, why are you calling me 'Uncle'?"

The little girl blinked her long eyelashes, adorably saying, "You are Uncle, aren't you? Mom said you are my uncle."

Lin Jie continued asking, "Then where is your mom?"

The little girl timidly replied, "Mom said she has to go to a far, far away place, said Uncle would take care of me from then on, and told me to wait here and not to leave until I see Uncle."

"Uncle, I'm hungry."

Listening to the little girl's words, Lin Jie's heart sank.

The implication of these words was all too clear.

Keeping a smile on his face, he stood up, holding the little girl's hand and said, "Little girl is hungry, I'll take you to eat something tasty."

"Do you know your mom's phone number?"

"Yes, 158..."

Lin Jie hurriedly dialed the number.

The call went through, but no one answered for a long time...

At this point, Qin Gang and a security officer came running over.

Qin Gang looked at the little girl holding Lin Jie's hand and said in a low voice, "Lin Jie, I checked the surveillance."

"Over two hours ago, a woman brought her here, and then the woman left alone."

Lin Jie gave the phone number the little girl had provided to Qin Gang and said, "This is the girl's mom's phone number, we can get through but no one answers, proceed with police notification immediately."

"I suspect the girl's mom might be in despair..."

Qin Gang went to notify the police and contact the relevant hospital departments.

Lin Jie, meanwhile, took the little girl back to his office, performed a preliminary examination to confirm she was physically fine, and gave her some chocolates he had in the office.

During this time, he asked the little girl about her address, kindergarten, etc.

However, the little girl only remembered she lived in a building where she needed to take an elevator, could see a small garden outside, and many high-rises from home.

As for the kindergarten, Lin Jie was quite puzzled by the information he gathered from the little girl's descriptions.

However, the little girl did remember her mom's name was Shi Qinxin, and her own name was Yuanyuan.

When asked about her dad, she just seemed confused.

Soon after, a social worker from the Affiliated Hospital arrived.

The social worker, a kind-hearted woman in her thirties, patiently asked a few questions of the chocolate-eating little Yuanyuan, and then said to Lin Jie, "Expert Lin, we've learned all we can from the little girl."

"I'll take her to our department for care and notify her family to pick her up once we find them."

For now, it seemed that was the only option.

However, as the social worker tried to leave with Yuanyuan, trouble arose.

The little one clung to Lin Jie's leg, unwilling to leave, tearfully asking, "Uncle, are you abandoning me? Do you despise me eating yummy food?"

"I can stop eating, I can stop eating."

As she spoke, she pulled a piece of chocolate from her pocket.

Seeing this, Lin Jie's heart softened, and he said to the social worker, "Before we find her family, I'll take care of her..."

Lin Jie stayed with little Yuanyuan in the office, talking and playing, and over the next couple of hours, some news gradually came in.

Yuanyuan's mom, Shi Qinxin, was a single mother working in administrative HR at a company in Binhai, and over a month ago she was diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer at Binhai Tongren Hospital.

Single mom, breast cancer, late stage.

Hearing these words, Lin Jie sighed deeply, hoping this mother would eventually find peace and not do anything foolish.

At seven forty in the evening, Lin Jie received a call from Qin Gang, "Lin Jie, we've found the child's mom."

Hearing the somber tone in Qin Gang's voice, Lin Jie had a very bad feeling.

He looked at the sleeping Yuanyuan on the sofa, whose little hand was tightly gripping one of his fingers, and said quietly, "Continue."

"She was found in a budget hotel not far from the Affiliated Hospital..."

"She's gone."

"A note was found. It said she was too tired, couldn't bear it anymore, and felt hopeless."

"The note also mentioned her only worry was her daughter, but she no longer had the ability to care for her."

"She apologized to you in the note, saying she knows you're a good person but has no choice but to entrust her daughter to you for care..."

After hanging up, Lin Jie was very troubled.

This was a big problem!

Looking at the sleeping Yuanyuan, he truly had no idea how to handle the situation...
