“Dad, Mom, please don’t force Brother Li to do this.”
“I’m begging you, please don’t make me abort the babies…”
Li Qingcang put down the pen and paper, then tried to forcefully rag Ye Tianxin’s body up.
This time, it was as though Ye Tianxin’s body erupted with endless potential.
She kneeled in front of the four parents like a steel rock.
“I know you guys don’t even believe that Xiao Jin even exists yet, but I know that he does. There was a time when he appeared in my world, alive and well. I heard him call me mommy. I can feel his warmth. I can feel his presence.”
Ye Tianxin’s hand slowly caressed her abdomen.
“And… and…”
Ye Tianxin sobbed and could barely even talk.
She heard their entire conversation clearly from inside the bedroom.
She wanted to keep Xiao Jin alive now.
She didn’t want to be an irresponsible mother again.
“I know that right now, as long as he’s still growing inside of me, he would try his best to endure it the same way that I’m enduring it.”
Ye Tianxin rose her head and looked at Ye Linlang with tears in her eyes. She called out to her in grief, “Mom, you promised me that you will protect them. Mom, you can’t go back on your word.”
Ye Linlang’s legs were turning soft. Her heart was aching intensely as well.
Her daughter was begging on her knees right in front of her.
Of course, this was an extremely painful and excruciating thing.
Ye Linlang reached her hand out and gently caressed her daughter’s face.
“Tianxin, I do care about your feelings. I just want you to stay alive.”
Ye Tianxin shook her head. She didn’t want that.
If she didn’t have Xiao Jin, what was the point of her being alive?
There was no point at all.
If she knew that she would still love Xiao Jin after reincarnating, she would have preferred not to reincarnate.
She would rather die now.
After that, this world would be clean; nobody named Ye Tianxin would’ve ever existed.
“Mom, I just want Xiao Jin to live…”
Li Qingcang’s arms forcefully locked Ye Tianxin’s arms.
“What do you mean by that, Tianxin? Do you only want Xiao Jin and not me?”
Ye Tianxin’ looked at Li Qingcang with tears in her eyes. Her thin lips, now pale and bloodless, opened as she spoke.
“I’m sorry, Brother Li. Even if it cost me my life, I still want Xiao Jin to live.”
Li Qingcang was enraged. “Then what about me? Ye Tianxin, what am I to you? Do I not matter to you?”
“No.”
Ye Tianxin suppressed the brimming sadness in her heart.
She looked at Li Qingcang’s eyes and suddenly smiled.
“Brother Li, do you know how much I wish that our family could be together? Originally, I wanted to tell you the truth after Xiao Jin was born. I didn’t think that you already knew about it. Xiao Jin was adorable, obedient, and very well-behaved. If it wasn’t for my foolishness, he wouldn’t have been deceived by Lu Qingxin. He wouldn’t have died so pitifully…”
Every word that Ye Tianxin said was like a knife piercing into Li Qingcang’s heart until it was reduced to a bloody mess.
Even then, he knew clearly that his pain was nothing compared to hers.
She was in so much pain and discomfort, yes she still wanted to protect the children in her womb.
She must’ve been devastated upon seeing everyone around her try to force her into aborting the babies.
“Brother Li, please don’t sign it, okay?”
