Chapter 256
Hannah felt the full force of their malice pressing down on her, her chest tightening with suffocating rage. “I’m going to work on HG13 virus,” she choked
out.
With those words, she stormed out.
‘My only chance to make everyone respect me again and put this whole incident behind us is to develop the HG13 virus inhibitor, she thought.
Aria nearly ran into Owen at the doorway. He handed her the med kit and said, “I’ll be right here waiting.”
Aria took the med kit and strode into the emergency room.
A doctor, looking grim, announced solemnly, “The baby likely won’t make it. Let’s stabilize her first and wait for the director and the OB–GYN team to
arrive.”
Giana tried frantically to get up, but the doctor quickly held her shoulders. “Giana,” he said, “you’ll have other children.”
Tears streaming down her face, Giana sobbed hysterically, “You’re lying! I can’t get pregnant again. I’ll never conceive again!”
Hearing Giana’s desperate cries, Aria parted the curtain and stepped inside.
Her sudden entrance caught everyone off guard.
Giana’s face was ashen as she reached out a trembling hand toward Aria. “Aria, please… save me. Save my baby.”
In that instant, á gaunt, pallid face flashed through Aria’s mind.
In her mind, she suddenly heard a desperate voice from the past, “Aria, please save me… I don’t want to die… I don’t want to die…”
Aria took a deep breath, steadying the turmoil within. She opened the medical kit, retrieved a vial, and shook out a pill. Bending down, she held it to Giana’s lips. “Take this.”
Placing all her hope in Aria, Giana swallowed the pill without hesitation.
The two doctors snapped to attention, fixing their gaze on Aria with a mix of professional alarm and suspicion. Their voices laced with urgency, one demanded, “What did you just give her?”
Aria was wholly focused on taking Giana’s pulse, tuning out the doctors‘ urgent questions.
Giana cut in firmly, “I trust her. Get out.”
The two doctors‘ expressions darkened. One of them cautioned urgently, “Giana, there are many unlicensed quacks practicing traditional medicine. Aria doesn’t have a medical license. You can’t just…”
Giana snapped, “Get out!”
Aria looked at them firmly. “She can’t take any more stress. Leave now.”
The two doctors exchanged a helpless glance, then finally turned and walked out.
“Everyone outside, leave now,” Aria commanded.
Everyone else slowly filed out, leaving only Giana’s two closest friends by her side as the room grew quiet.
The room fell into silence, broken only by the faint beeping of medical monitors.
Giana asked weakly, “Can, can you save my baby?”

It was possible to save the baby. But it would require acupuncture.
