“Xiaxia!” Sheng Yize frowned and wanted to snatch the knife away. An Xiaxia whimpered, “Stay where you are…”
Sheng Yize froze. He suddenly realized that he didn’t dare do anything rash.
He had always been confident in his deft movements, but when it came to An Xiaxia, he couldn’t take the risk.
“Alright. I won’t move. I’ll do whatever you say. Put the knife down!” Sheng Yize cajoled.
“I don’t believe you!” An Xiaxia looked upset.
Sheng Yize raised both hands in resignation. “I mean it. I’m not lying to you.”
An Xiaxia heaved a sigh and decided to trust him. She put the knife down.
She had chosen the right strategy. Thanks to Sheng Yize’s indulgence of her, it was much easier to cut herself than to try and stab him.
However, Sheng Yize moved unbelievably fast. As soon as she put down the knife, he rushed to her side at lightning speed, grabbed her thin wrist, then pinned her down on the sofa with both of her hands raised high above her head. His voice was frighteningly deep. “I see you’ve learned something new. Threatening me like that using your own life, seriously?”
An Xiaxia’s eyes brimmed with tears. He had tricked her… again.
She turned away from him and her shoulders trembled. Tears soon dampened her clothes.
Sheng Yize felt helpless. He didn’t know what to do with her.
“If you really want this child, I’ll respect your choice, but have you ever considered the baby itself?”
Those words made An Xiaxia anxious right away.
“You’re Rh negative and I’m Rh positive. Have you ever heard of hemolytic disease of the newborn? We’ve never considered this problem before. When I got the rest of the blood test results, you were already with child. It says in the report that there’s a 50% chance that this child will be born with this disease. The probability will be even higher for the second child.” Sheng Yize tried his best to keep his voice calm. “Xiaxia, I’m not scaring you, but hemolytic disease for the Rh blood type is much more severe than for the A, B, and O blood types. You already have a health condition to begin with. Giving birth to this child or treating your own condition will be equally dangerous in this situation.”
Those words were like thunderbolts exploding in An Xiaxia’s head.
So, that was why…
That was why he pretended to dislike children and used protection every time?
That was why when he learned of her pregnancy, instead of feeling elated, he only wanted to get rid of the baby?
Tears welled up in her eyes and An Xiaxia tried her best to fight them back, but her face was still streaked with tears.
“Sheng Yize… why…” She burst out crying.
Sheng Yize felt even more awful. He had tried to keep it from her this whole time but she wouldn’t let it drop. He had no choice but to tell her the truth.
It was too cruel a fact even for him.
An Xiaxia was crying so hard. Sheng Yize comforted her in a gentle voice and finally managed to make her stop. An Xiaxia tugged at his clothes timidly. “It’s a 50% chance… Maybe we’ll be ok?”
Sheng Yize smiled bitterly. “Xiaxia, I can’t take the risk — not with you, not with the baby.”
The little woman sobbed and said nothing.
When he got up to fetch her some food, An Xiaxia took out her phone and did an online search.
When she read that hemolytic patients could have “anasarca, dermal ecchymosis, hydrothorax, heart failure, and other life-threatening symptoms,” she burst into tears again.
