Chapter 440: After the modification: Chapter 452 She Decided to Keep the Child
The man stared intensely at the glaring red, feeling as though his heart was being torn apart, the pain excruciating.
The baby⋯⋯
No, the baby will be fine.
In a panic, he carefully picked Lin Yixun up from the bed, not daring to use too much force, afraid it might hurt her or the baby.
When Sister Yi saw Leng Yixiu carrying Lin Yixun downstairs, she immediately knew that something was wrong.
"Sir, should I call Old He?"
"No need." He had no time to wait for Old He to come over and drive.
Holding Lin Yixun, the man hurried to the underground garage; even as he placed her in the passenger seat, his hands were still uncontrollably trembling.
Closing the passenger door, he walked quickly to the driver’s seat and started the engine.
The car sped down the wide road, leaving the buildings on the street behind. The man clutched the steering wheel tightly, telling himself he had to stay calm at this moment. Yet, facing the potential life-or-death situation of the baby, his usually proud composure had completely deserted him.
"Lin Yixun, how are you feeling now?" the man asked softly, glancing at her at his side.
Lin Yixun could no longer feel the pain; at this point, she felt completely drained of strength, even speaking took immense effort, "Leng Yixiu, is the baby... is the baby gone?"
"The baby is still here, the baby is fine. The doctor is on the way; you and the baby will be okay."
"Really?" Lin Yixun weakly tugged at the corners of her mouth, tears slipping from the corners of her eyes, "You’re lying to me, aren’t you? The first three months are the most critical. I’m not a qualified mother, even the baby knows I didn’t want it and wants to leave, right?"
"No, that’s not it. Lin Yixun, the baby will be fine."
But Lin Yixun couldn’t believe him; to her, Leng Yixiu’s words were merely to comfort her. She spoke bitterly, "Leng Yixiu, if the baby is gone, just let me go, okay? Look, you’ve kept me by your side against my will, I’m not happy, and you’re in pain too. Why continue to torment each other like this?" Lin Yixun paused, mustering up some strength to speak again, "Hating someone is very painful. Although I can’t forgive you, I don’t want to hate you anymore. I’m so tired, hating someone is too exhausting."
Seeing Lin Yixun’s pale face, devoid of hope, Leng Yixiu gripped the steering wheel and growled lowly, "Lin Yixun, listen to me. I won’t let anything happen to the baby. No matter what it takes, I will save it! Look, we’re almost at the hospital. We’re almost there."
Along the way, he ran several red lights, reaching Shengde from the Half Mountain Villa in just twenty minutes.
Before he arrived at the hospital, he had asked Sister Yi to call ahead, so when he got to Shengde, the medical staff were already waiting for him.
At the entrance of the operating room, the man leaned helplessly against the cold wall. In less than a month, this was Lin Yixun’s second time here.
Time seemed to stretch infinitely. The man looked up at the indicator light above the operating room door. An hour passed, and Lin Yixun had not yet come out.
So, does this mean the baby is in grave danger?
Suddenly, the operating room door opened, and Cen Lin came out dressed in surgical attire.
The man opened his mouth, wanting to inquire about Lin Yixun and the baby’s condition, but Cen Lin immediately berated him harshly.
"Do you have any common sense? Don’t you know how critical the first three months of pregnancy are? You didn’t let her rest properly, and even kept stimulating her. Do you want this baby or not?"
Cen Lin’s criticism left Leng Yixiu speechless. She was right; it was he who insisted on keeping the baby, but in the end, his stubbornness and overbearing behavior had hurt the baby.
"So, the baby..." The man struggled to speak, lacking the courage to ask outright, fearing that the answer would not be what he hoped for.
Seeing Leng Yixiu’s ashen face, Cen Lin’s heart softened. She glared at him, "Who do you think I am? With me on the case, of course the baby is fine. But don’t get too happy just yet. The baby is only temporarily safe. Whether it stays depends on whether you get through these three months safely. If you keep tempting fate, even I won’t be able to help you."
Cen Lin’s words pulled Leng Yixiu back from the brink of despair. He was momentarily at a loss. He couldn’t find the words to describe his feelings, just immense gratitude that they had averted disaster at this crucial moment.
Seeing the usually stern and unsmiling Leng Yixiu suddenly grinning like a fool, Cen Lin shook her head in disbelief. Love really is...
She didn’t want to get involved with such things; if she ended up like Leng Yixiu, she would despise herself.
When Lin Yixun woke up, it was already the next morning.
"Miss Lin, you’re finally awake. You nearly scared me to death yesterday. Luckily, both you and the baby are okay."
Lin Yixun stared blankly at Sister Yi, her eyes wide with disbelief. It took her a while to find her voice, and she asked cautiously, "The baby... is still here?"
"Yes, the little one is strong." Sister Yi smiled, her eyes crinkling, "Sir stayed with you all night. This morning, I persuaded him for a long time before he agreed to rest in the next room. Should I go wake him up now?"
"No, no need." Lin Yixun waved her hand.
Right now, she didn’t want to see him, didn’t know how to face him. She reached out and gently touched her flat stomach, her nose stinging.
Initially, she had resented this baby so much, but when she saw it about to slip away from her body, she felt a deep reluctance.
This baby was her flesh and blood, her last kin in this world. No matter how much she hated Leng Yixiu, she couldn’t bear to let it go now.
But what should she do with this baby?
Lin Yixun closed her eyes in pain; she needed to think carefully about her next steps.
Although the baby was saved, seeing blood was no small matter. Lin Yixun’s health was already poor, so she had to stay in the hospital to preserve the pregnancy. She never mentioned not wanting the baby again; in fact, she cooperated with the doctor’s requirements. Anything beneficial for the baby, she did.
She stayed in the hospital for more than half a month, a period that was incredibly difficult for her. She could barely get out of bed; even eating and washing her hair had to be done in bed. But the most painful part was getting the pregnancy-saving injections.
