C1 One Child Six Treasures

"Dad! I don't want to..." The girl was pinned down on the sofa, her beautiful face glistening with a thin layer of sweat from her struggle. Her eyes, clear and bright, were filled with pain and defiance. In a frantic moment, she bit the hand of one of the medical staff. Seizing the moment their guard was down, she shoved them aside, dashed to the table, and grabbed a fruit knife. "Stay back, or I'll do it—I'll kill myself!"

She pressed the knife to her neck, and the sharp blade instantly etched a stark red line across her delicate, pale skin.

The medical staff, witnessing her extreme distress, didn't dare advance, fearful of causing a fatality.

The person in charge turned to the middle-aged man seated nearby, his brow furrowed with concern. "President Ye..."

With a loud crash, the man slammed his cup to the floor, his voice seething with rage. "Ye Jianjia! You're nothing but an animal! You haven't even finished college, and you're already carrying someone's bastard. I've spent a fortune to discreetly take care of this mess, and you still refuse? Have you lost your mind?"

"Dad, it's not a bastard; it's six human lives!"

The private clinic's medical staff's eyes went wide with shock.

What? She was carrying sextuplets?

Six babies at once!

The father's fertility must be off the charts!

"Lives be damned! You don't even know who the father is. How promiscuous must you be!"

"I'm not!" Jianjia protested, shaking her head.

"Not? Then who's responsible for your condition? If he steps up, I wouldn't object to your marriage, even if he were a beggar. But if not, you'll terminate this pregnancy. The Ye family cannot bear such disgrace!"

"I... I can't remember."

"Can't remember? Ridiculous!" Ye Chongyun scoffed. "You expect me to believe that?"

"I truly can't remember!"

Three months earlier, Jianjia had been in a car accident, which resulted in some memory loss.

It wasn't until recently, when she began feeling unusually tired and noticed her belly swelling, that she realized she had missed her period for two months. A visit to the hospital confirmed the unbelievable news: she was pregnant.

The lost memories undoubtedly included the child's father.

She had completely forgotten about the man, and he hadn't come looking for her either. Yet, she felt no aversion to the baby growing inside her; in fact, there was a hint of joy.

Ye Chongyun didn't believe a single word. Pointing at the medical staff, he declared, "Don't use death as a threat against me. You have no other options today!"

Ye Jianjia stood her ground, her eyes narrowing with intensity, "Anyone who dares to harm me and my child today should prepare for a bloodbath!"

"You... you..." Ye Chongyun was livid, his face turning a ghastly shade of green as he spat out his words, "Today, you either terminate this illegitimate child, or you leave. If you choose to leave, I, Ye Chongyun, will act as if I never had a daughter!"

"Daughter? When have you ever acted like a father to me? I've been boarding at school from elementary through college. Apart from giving me some money, what fatherly duties have you ever performed? In this house, I'm treated worse than a guest!"

"Jianjia, your father is always so busy, neglecting everyone, but that's no excuse for you to fall so low as to get pregnant out of wedlock," Madam Ye, Zhu Meiqin, finally spoke up, "You're just like your deceased mother..."

"Shut up! You have no right to speak about my mother!"

At those words, Zhu Meiqin's face contorted with an extremely unpleasant look.
