In that moment, Sheng Yize almost blurted out that the babies were dead.
He could then ask the doctor to secretly induce labor and get rid of the two babies without her knowing.
That way, An Xiaxia wouldn’t have to suffer anymore.
When he realized what he was plotting, he broke into a cold sweat.
How could he come up with such horrible ideas…
They were his and An Xiaxia’s babies.
Sheng Yize’s eyes brimmed with tears as he said, “Don’t worry. They’re fine, perfectly fine.”
An Xiaxia said weakly, “Great… they’ll be fully blessed after surviving a disaster like this. With what they’ve gone through when they’re this little, I’m sure they’ll live the happiest lives in the future…”
Sheng Yize choked with sobs. He then stroked her soft hair.
How lucky he was to be able to marry someone like An Xiaxia.
“Get some sleep. The pain won’t be as bad when you’re asleep.”
“Hm.”
After putting An Xiaxia to bed, Sheng Yize rose to his feet. He looked like he was ready to kill someone.
–
The door to Mu Li’s ward was kicked open, frightening all the medical staff inside. “We’re preparing for an operation here! What do you think you’re doing?!”
Sheng Yize smirked. He was going to walk in when Chi Yuanfeng dragged him back.
Forehead covered in sweat, Chi Yuanfeng looked around and yelled, “Hey, Kang… I mean, King! Do something! A little help here! Break his leg if you have to!”
Give Sheng Yize a knife now and he would definitely stab someone.
No one replied.
Chi Yuanfeng was worried sick when Mu Li slowly regained consciousness. The excruciating pain in her belly reminded her that something had gone terribly wrong. In a shaky voice, she asked, “How am I doing?”
The doctors and nurses exchanged awkward looks. In the end, the head nurse answered, choosing her words carefully, “Ma’am, let’s just get this operation over with first. Please stay still. We’re going to give you anesthesia now…”
“No… no anesthesia! Who knows what that will do to my baby?” Mu Li struggled violently. “Qi Yanxi is its father! He’ll kill you all if he knows what you’re doing here!”
Qi Yanxi walked in with an impassive face. “I gave them permission to operate on you.”
Mu Li was baffled.
The doctor explained, “I’m afraid you’ve lost your baby and we’ll have to induce labor now. Please work with us, Ma’am.”
Instead of worrying about the baby right away, Mu Li’s first reaction was to ask about An Xiaxia.
“What about An Xiaxia?” Mu Li fought hard to suppress her smile.
She must have lost hers, too. Hahaha!
A young nursed interjected, “Do you mean that young woman who arrived with you? She’s fine. Don’t worry.”
Mu Li’s face went rigid.
They had both fallen down the stairs, but why was An Xiaxia alright while she had to lose her child?
Qi Yanxi frowned. “Enough. Let’s go outside and let the doctors do their job. Sheng Yize, as you can see, she got the retribution she deserved. If you still find it unacceptable, do whatever you want with me. She’s a woman, after all. Don’t hit her.”
At the end of the day, they were childhood friends and Qi Yanxi chose to protect Mu Li at a moment like this.
Mu Li, however, was screaming as if she had lost her mind. “I’m not getting the operation! My baby isn’t dead! It must have been An Xiaxia’s who died! This isn’t fair… you’re all lying to me… you’re killing my baby on purpose!”
No one responded. The anesthesiologist then calmly took out the needle.
“Yanxi… Qi Yanxi…” Mu Li called in tears. Only then did she realize that Qi Yanxi had long left the room.
