Huo Beichen looked at Li Tingyu and frowned. “Are you really going to miscarry?”
“What else? Do you want to give birth?”Li Tingyu asked back.
Huo Beichen curled his lips. “I’ve already said it before. It’s okay to give birth. It’s not like we can’t afford to raise a child.”
Li Tingyu clenched her fist. “That’s right. In president Huo’s eyes, you only need to spend money to raise a child. Give him a bowl and a pair of chopsticks and raise him up.”
Huo beichen could naturally hear the sarcasm in her words. “What’s wrong? I’m just saying it casually. You’re so angry.”
Li Tingyu turned her back and did not want to bother with him. Qize had grown up without a father’s love. Some people spent their entire lives healing their childhood. She could not give Qize a healthy and original family, causing Qize to suffer for the rest of his life, she would not give birth to another child.
“President Huo, I’m not angry. I’m just stating the facts. Think about it. We’re already so old. We’re both grandparents now. There’s no one around you who would give birth to a child at this age, right? If we did, wouldn’t we be a joke?”
Huo Beichen did not think much of it. “Why do you care about other people’s gazes? Besides, who would dare to look at me as a joke?”
Li Tingyu finally understood the meaning behind his words. His attitude had been ambiguous over and over again. He kept talking about giving birth to the child. At first, she did not care about it, but now she actually felt that he really had the intention.
“President Huo, are you serious? You really want to give birth to the child? What… What are you thinking about?”Li Tingyu could not understand.
Huo Beichen did not speak. At that moment, the voice of the personal butler sounded from outside the door. “Sir, Madam is dying. You should go and take a look.”
Li Tingyu’s heart skipped a beat. Madam Huo was dying?
Zhou Qiong’s knife was filled with endless hatred. It had stabbed deeply. Madam Huo had fallen in a pool of blood and bled a lot. Could it be that she could not hold on any longer?
Although Li Tingyu did not like Mrs. Huo, she had no intention of gloating. She only sighed. Perhaps this was the best outcome. Mrs. Huo’s departure had taken away all the grudges of the previous generation.
..
Huo beichen came to the ICU. The doctor shook his head and said, “Mr. Huo, I’m sorry. We’ve tried our best.”
Huo beichen nodded and entered the ICU.
Mrs. Huo was lying on the bed with an oxygen mask on her face. Her breath was already drifting away. When she saw Huo Beichen coming over, she reached out her trembling hand and said, “Son…”
Huo Beichen walked forward and held Mrs. Huo’s hand. “Mom, rest well. The Doctor said you’ll be fine.”
Mrs. Huo shook her head. Perhaps she was on the verge of death, but all of her grace and elegance had disappeared in that instant. All that was left was her pale face, “Son, I know my body very well. I’ve enjoyed all the riches and splendor in my life. There shouldn’t be anything left for me to regret…”
“I, your father, Zhou Qiong, and Huo Tianhao… I don’t want to talk about them now. All I can think about is… how you were when you were young…”
“Beichen, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry…”
Huo Beichen held Mrs. Huo’s cold hand and said, “Mom, don’t say that. You Didn’t do anything to me.”
Mrs. Huo shook her head and sighed, “Beichen, it’s only at the last moment of your life that you can see what you really want. So, it’s… love. I don’t feel… Lonely when I have you. But, I’m afraid that you’ll be lonely in the future…”
“Mom, don’t talk about this anymore. Rest well…”
Huo Beichen’s words stopped abruptly because Mrs. Huo had already closed her eyes and left.
Mrs. Huo left. The Huo family held a simple funeral and buried Mrs. Huo in the cemetery. Huo Beichen stood in the cemetery in black for a long time. The cold autumn wind blew on his body, it actually made him feel a chill and a chill.
“Where’s Mrs. Huo?”Huo Beichen asked the personal butler beside him.
The Butler said respectfully, “Mrs. Huo has returned to the hospital. Last time, after Mrs. Huo bled out, her body was very weak. The Doctor said that if you want to preserve the pregnancy, you should stay in bed and recuperate. It’s not suitable for you to get out of bed.”
“Got it. Go to the hospital.”
..
In the hospital, Huo Beichen came to the door of the ward. At that moment, he heard Li Tingyu talking to the doctor.
Li Tingyu said, “Doctor, please arrange an abortion for me immediately. I don’t want this child.”
The Doctor was very hesitant. He asked carefully, “Mrs. Huo, does Mr. Huo know about the abortion? I haven’t received any notice that Mr. Huo wants to have an abortion here.”
“I mean what Mr. Huo wants. Doctor, please do as you’re told.”
At that moment, Huo Beichen pushed the door open and walked in.
“Mr. Huo… Mr. Huo, Madam wants us to prepare for the abortion operation. I don’t know… I don’t know…”the doctor stammered.
Huo Beichen raised his hand. “Go out.”
“Yes, Mr. Huo.”
Everyone was pushed out.
Li Tingyu looked at Huo Beichen. “Have you taken care of your mother’s matters?”
Huo Beichen took off his black leather gloves and threw them on the table. Then, he moved a chair and sat down by the bed. He looked at Li Tingyu seriously, “I won’t agree to the abortion. Mrs. Huo, give birth to this child.”
Li Tingyu understood. Just like the last divorce, if he didn’t agree, she wouldn’t be able to get a divorce. This time, the abortion was the same. If he didn’t agree to the abortion, no doctor would dare to operate on her.
“Huo Beichen, what do you want? We are married to a wealthy family. All these years, I have never asked you for love, because it is not your responsibility. Similarly, ever since I became pregnant with Qize, Qize has grown up all these years. Ask yourself, have you ever given Qize any fatherly love? I don’t dare and I can’t ask you for it. But Qize is innocent. Now, I will not let another qize appear. Instead of that, I might as well be ruthless and abort this child!”
This was the first time Li Tingyu had said such things to him. All these years, she had truly been a qualified Mrs. Huo. She knew her position and had never crossed the line.
Love, family love..
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to give it to her.
But, did he have these things?
Huo Beichen had grown up in a distorted family environment and was indifferent and unruly. Tang Mo’er had once walked through his heart, but she had long been buried along with his youth.
Huo Beichen’s gaze fell on Li Tingyu’s flat stomach. His heart suddenly felt a ripple. He stretched out his hand and placed his fingertips on her stomach. “Mrs. Huo, give birth to the child.”
“Huo Beichen, do you not understand what I’m saying? I’ve already made it very clear, I…”
“Li Tingyu, give birth to our child. I’ll try to love this child. It might be a little strange and unfamiliar, but I’ll try to do it.”
What was he talking about?
Li Tingyu froze. She never thought that she would hear the word “Love”from Huo Beichen’s mouth in this lifetime.

The end.
