Chapter 1898: The Child Is Still There
Xia Weibao suddenly turned her head, full of vigilance.
Long Xuanye’s face seemed to be covered in ice as he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.
"What, want to see if the child is still there?"
Xia Weibao’s heart raced, the child...
Lu Hualiang had always longed for a child, and now finally being pregnant, but under these circumstances.
"My child..."
"Gone."
With ruthless words, falling into Xia Weibao’s ears like a bolt from the blue.
Lu Hualiang had waited so long for this child, and just like that, it’s gone?
She shook her head in disbelief, nearly collapsing.
"No, it can’t be, how could anything happen to my child!"
Long Xuanye sneered, "Under such circumstances, do you think the child could be preserved? Xia Weibao, all this was your doing. It was your foolish attempt to escape that led to the death of the child in your womb!"
Xia Weibao’s face, already void of color, was now a picture of desolation, her eyes instantly filling with tears.
Reflecting on her body’s condition, regret burned through her heart like wildfire.
Why was she so careless, a doctor herself, yet unaware of her own pregnancy.
Clearly, the body was acting so unusually recently, clearly she vomited, clearly her menstrual cycle was so delayed, why did she not think of that possibility.
Why did she lash out at her own body over someone irrelevant, why did she run away.
Her body shook with sobs, clearly unable to accept this reality.
Seeing her in such pain, Long Xuanye felt a stab in his heart.
Yet knowing she was grieving over another man’s child, his heart ached with boundless anger alongside the pain!
He let go of her hand, "The child is still here."
He must have gone mad, because upon knowing the child was barely holding on, he thought not of her carrying another man’s child, but of the agony she would feel if the child were lost.
He even went as far as holding a gun to the doctor’s head, ordering them to keep both mother and child alive at any cost.
What on earth should he do with her!
Xia Weibao’s pained expression flickered for a moment, as she swiftly checked her own wrist.
Though the pulse was weak, it was indeed a slippery pulse.
She closed her eyes, tears slipping down her cheeks, grateful to the heavens.
Her lips lifted slightly, though she cried, she was smiling.
Long Xuanye stood dumbfounded, emotions swirling in his heart.
It had been so long since she last smiled.
And it was for another man’s child.
What was she thinking? Was she thinking of that man, was she internally telling that man their child was safe?
His heart was tortured, yet pathetically satisfied.
Turns out, his demands were so low, just for her to stay beside him and smile, he would be content.
Even if that smile was for another man.
His heart twisted in agony, not wanting to see her smile happily for another man, yet shamefully craving her smiling face.
He was close to being driven mad!
He raised his hand, wanting to touch her head.
As his hand hovered above her head, Xia Weibao, immersed in her happiness, suddenly opened her eyes, watching him warily.
That look, as if he dared to harm her child, she would fight him to the death!
Long Xuanye felt a sharp pain in his heart, a hint of hurt flashing in his eyes, "Do you not trust me at all?"
Xia Weibao remained wary, her body slowly moving back.
"If I wanted to kill your child, it would have been dead long ago."
Xia Weibao hesitated for a moment, her expression gradually relaxing.
Indeed, if Long Xuanye truly intended to remove her child, he wouldn’t have helped her keep it.
