I Rule Fortune-Telling Livestreams-Chapter 61: The Spiritual Child is My Child

Soon after, Shen Zhiyao appeared at the most famous private hospital in the area.

After playing chauffeur, Jin Fan was still eager to follow her inside and see what would happen.

Shen Zhiyao waved him away. "You should head back. It’s inconvenient to have too many people around for this kind of thing!"

Jin Fan was speechless.

’Great! So she’s just using me as a taxi driver. Drop her off and get lost!’

When Shengming Ru Ge saw Shen Zhiyao, she was so emotional she nearly burst into tears.

"Miss Shen, you’re finally here! My boss is already in the operating room, but the doctor said the situation is dire. The fetus has already died in the womb!"

Her agent, Lin Qiang, had never liked the look of Shen Zhiyao. If it hadn’t been for Li Kerun’s insistence, he would never have agreed to let her come.

As usual, nothing good ever came out of his mouth. "If you have a solution, spit it out. If not, then get the hell out! Don’t waste our time."

Shen Zhiyao didn’t get angry. She simply said, "I need to go into the operating room and see her condition for myself."

Ordinarily, you couldn’t just walk into an operating room, but private hospitals offered many conveniences.

Preparations for the surgery were still underway inside. Li Kerun was sitting in a recovery room adjacent to the OR.

The doctor had already examined her. There was nothing wrong with her personally, but the child in her womb no longer had a heartbeat.

For the sake of the mother’s health, the doctor was preparing to perform an abortion.

At that moment, a doctor was still trying to persuade her. "Miss Li, the child in your womb is gone. That’s a fact! You need to cooperate, take this medicine, and then come with us to perform the procedure!"

Li Kerun was hysterical. "No! I’m not having the surgery! My baby is still alive, he’s still alive! He’s not dead, he’s not dead! Stop spouting nonsense!"

When she saw Shen Zhiyao enter, Li Kerun looked as if she’d seen her savior. "Miss Shen, help me, Miss Shen! They’re trying to kill my baby, but he’s clearly still alive!"

Shen Zhiyao approached the nurse. "The patient is emotionally unstable. Could you let me have a proper talk with her?"

The nurse replied, "You have to convince her. The fetus has no heartbeat; it can’t be saved. If we don’t remove it from her body soon, it could cause harm to the mother. I’ll be back in twenty minutes. The doctor is waiting for the surgery."

After the nurse left, Li Kerun frantically grabbed Shen Zhiyao’s hand.

"Miss Shen, I’m so sorry. I didn’t listen to you last time. But since you were able to predict this accident, does that mean you have a way to save my baby?"

"Miss Shen, I’m begging you, please save my baby! This child is so important to me! Please, help me!"

Shen Zhiyao’s tone was flat. "It’s just one dead child. Why are you so upset? You’ve had an abortion before. You’ve killed a child before, haven’t you?"

Li Kerun looked guilt-ridden. "My past... you can see that, too? Back then, I was young and foolish, and I didn’t have the means to raise him. But now I do. I can be responsible for myself and my child. I want to give birth to this baby. Besides, I’m older now. My health wasn’t great to begin with, and it’s not easy for me to conceive. If I lose this one, I might never be able to become a mother."

"Not ’might.’ It’s a certainty," Shen Zhiyao said, walking up to her. "You are fated to be childless. Your body was already damaged before. If you miscarry this one, you will never be able to become a mother."

Li Kerun grew even more terrified. "Miss Shen, please, help me! I’m begging you, no matter what it takes, you have to help me save this baby!"

Shen Zhiyao said nothing, simply placing her palm on Li Kerun’s lower abdomen.

Li Kerun immediately felt a warm current flow into her abdomen. The dull ache in her stomach instantly vanished, replaced by a feeling of immense comfort.

The pleasant sensation spread from her abdomen throughout her entire body, making her feel drowsy.

She slowly closed her eyes and drifted into a dream.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back at the age of twenty-three.

That was the lowest point of her career, and the third year of her comeback.

In the two years following her return, she had acted in many series, but all of them ended in failure.

Every television series she starred in flopped. Her peers even mocked her as the "Flop Queen," saying that not even the best script could be saved from her terrible acting.

Eventually, she stopped getting any scripts at all. She was out of work for an entire year and grew incredibly anxious.

It was also during that year that Li Kerun met a young, handsome, and wealthy man at a social dinner. He called her beautiful and charming, pursued her relentlessly, offered her resources, was willing to promote her, and promised to marry her.

Li Kerun’s heart was swayed. She immediately moved into his house and lived with him for two months.

Later, the rich man’s wife suddenly showed up at the door and gave her a beating.

Meanwhile, the man’s novelty had worn off for him, and he simply stopped showing his face.

Naturally, not a single one of his promises was ever fulfilled.

And of all times, it was then that Li Kerun discovered she was pregnant.

After learning about the pregnancy, the man’s wife gave her two million and told her to get an abortion.

She also threatened that if Li Kerun didn’t go through with it, she would expose the whole affair to the public and make sure she could never work in the entertainment industry again.

Li Kerun felt she had no choice, so she took the money and had the abortion.

It was because of this incident that she gave up on men completely and threw herself into her career.

And so, two months after the abortion, she flew to Southeast Asia to change her career fortune.

Now, in the dream, she seemed to be in the same temple where she had originally sought a Spiritual Child.

But just as she was waiting for the Spirit Master, it was as if her soul was suddenly pulled from her body, and she began to float.

Her soul was dragged into a basement. Copper Coins hung all around. The light was dim, and the air was thick with the stench of blood and rust.

A man and a woman stood before a spiritual altar in the basement.

The man was a Communication Master, his expression sinister.

She recognized the woman, too—it was the rich man’s wife.

The wife slammed a stack of cash and a ceramic jar onto the table. "That little bitch, thinking she can get a Spiritual Child to change her luck? Why don’t we just use this for her instead? Her own bastard from her own belly will be much more effective. And when the backlash hits, it will be even more severe!"

The Spirit Master chuckled as he picked up the stack of cash and the jar containing the dead infant, smiling as he agreed.

Immediately after, the Spirit Master extracted the infant’s soul and stuffed it into a furnace to be burned.

His body, already dead, could no longer move, but his soul was shoved into the forge to burn.

He cried and screamed, "It hurts so much! Mommy, save me! Mommy, save me..."

No one came to save him, not even as he was refined into a transparent sphere.

Finally, the transparent sphere was injected into a golden statue, which was then placed in an exquisitely wrapped box and handed to the woman who had come to pray so devoutly.

The woman holding the exquisite box turned her head, revealing a face identical to Li Kerun’s.

A jolt of shock shot through Li Kerun’s heart, and she snapped awake.
