21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 347 - 344: The Surprise of the Jiangchuan Couple (Soliciting Monthly Tickets, Soliciting Subscriptions)

As a well-known female anchor, Egawa Sae, while not as famous as prominent female artists, was obviously a public figure. Accordingly, the hospital room where she stayed was not a large ward, but a VIP single room for one person.

As an anchorwoman, she was naturally familiar with all kinds of artists in the industry. Even though she mainly presented the news and occasionally hosted variety shows, she had some connections with various artists. Therefore, when they heard she was hospitalized, many sent her flower baskets, and those who were close to her came to visit personally.

It was natural for people to ask what illness she had contracted. Upon learning she had cancer, the vast majority advised her to abort the child and focus on her healing. Even those who didn’t offer such advice hoped she would seek aggressive treatment.

Yet, Egawa Sae was steadfast in her resolve to save her child, even at the cost of her own life. And she turned a deaf ear to anyone who tried to persuade her, appearing impervious to any arguments.

When Jounouchi Hiromi arrived at the hospital room with the experimental reports, ready to explain the treatment plan to Egawa Sae, she found the patient in the middle of a quarrel with her husband.

Seeing Jounouchi Hiromi come in, Egawa Sae’s husband quickly nodded in apology, embarrassed: "I’m sorry, Doctor Jounouchi. Sha Hui is not in the best of moods today; please accept my apologies for the scene you’ve walked into."

He had just been advising Egawa Sae to give up the child and concentrate on her healing, because for him, the child was not his first priority; it was preserving Egawa Sae that mattered most. Moreover, Japanese law does not permit prioritizing the child when both mother and child are in jeopardy.

In Mr. Egawa’s opinion, as long as the couple loved each other, life without children could still be very happy. But if he lost Egawa Sae, even if they had a child, he would not feel happiness. On the contrary, the presence of a child could lead to many complications.

However, Egawa Sae was not listening to anyone, deaf to all pleas. If Jounouchi Hiromi hadn’t previously suggested they could extract the child for gestation using an Artificial Womb, Egawa Sae would likely only accept palliative care and stubbornly wait for the child to be born.

"Doctor Jounouchi, could you please talk to Sha Hui? She won’t listen to anything I say. I’ve discussed it with my family, and we still hope to terminate the pregnancy and proceed with the surgery," Mr. Egawa said with regret on his face, hoping Jounouchi Hiromi could persuade Egawa Sae to cooperate with the treatment.

Perhaps feeling that his words might betray a lack of trust in Jounouchi Hiromi’s treatment plan, Mr. Egawa quickly added, "It’s not that we don’t trust your proposed treatment, Doctor Jounouchi. It’s just that I’ve also researched the Artificial Womb technology, and even in the United States, it hasn’t truly been applied clinically, has it?

"Even if you can accomplish this plan, my family and I feel it would be safer to be conservative. We really are very sorry!"

After offering his explanation, Mr. Egawa hurriedly bowed to Jounouchi Hiromi, apologizing once again.

Jounouchi Hiromi fully understood Mr. Egawa’s concerns. If it weren’t for her becoming a Blood Knight with the help of Chen Yu and acquiring "Crimson Hymn," which revealed the "Flesh Womb" spell to her, she would never have considered using an Artificial Womb to substitute for the maternal environment for Egawa Sae’s embryo treatment.

But now that the experiments had basically been completed, and treatment could formally begin, Jounouchi Hiromi didn’t feel the need to persuade Egawa Sae to give up her child.

Before Jounouchi Hiromi could speak, an irate Egawa Sae yelled at her husband, "Nonsense! I will never give up my child! No one will take my child away! I will give birth to this child, even if it means my death!"

Although Egawa Sae was known for her intellectual image as an anchorwoman, when it came to her child, she was no different from a mother tiger with raised hackles, fiercely guarding her noticeably swollen belly with both hands.

Seeing Egawa Sae in this state, Jounouchi Hiromi found it impossible to utter the words of persuasion she had prepared. She had to say something given the situation, as leaving the room without speaking was clearly not an option.

"Mrs. Egawa, your condition..." Jounouchi Hiromi intended to start by discussing Egawa Sae’s health and then lead the conversation to the successful experiments. This way, she would not only avoid offending Mrs. Egawa’s husband but also achieve her original purpose.

However, before Jounouchi Hiromi could get further into her explanation, an impatient Egawa Sae interrupted with a pressing question, "My condition is not important! Doctor Jounouchi, was your experiment successful? Can you save my child? It doesn’t matter if the experiment wasn’t successful, I can wait! As long as my child can be saved, I’m willing to trade even my life for it. Please, you must save my child!"

"Mrs. Egawa, you needn’t worry, the experiments conducted on animals were very successful. The embryos in the Artificial Wombs developed fully and were born, they are now living healthily. So, it has been proven feasible to cultivate embryos in an Artificial Womb; your baby can be saved too," Jounouchi Hiromi delivered the news Egawa Sae most wanted to hear, which delighted her. Hiromi continued, "Actually, I came today not just to inform you of this news, but also to tell you that we can start treatment. Next, I need to arrange for your embryo extraction and the tumor excision surgery. Considering your physical tolerance, Mrs. Egawa, the two procedures will be done simultaneously. We will extract the fetus from your womb through surgery and cultivate it in the Artificial Womb, while also removing the affected uterine appendage on the side of the tumor. Of course, if the infection deepens, we may need to perform a complete hysterectomy."

"The experiment really succeeded?" Egawa Sae asked excitedly.

Mr. Egawa, meanwhile, looked at Jounouchi Hiromi with astonishment. He had urged his wife to give up on the child only after thoroughly researching the status of Artificial Womb technology on the international stage, but now Jounouchi Hiromi was saying her experiments had been successful. The implications left Mr. Egawa too surprised to speak.

"Doctor Jounouchi, is this true? You’ve actually completed the experiment of cultivating a mouse in the Artificial Womb?" Mr. Egawa seemed even more excited than his wife.
