If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 743: Chapter 743: Baby, I’m Sorry
 

The female doctor’s eyes widened, and she stopped what she was doing.

Surprise painted everyone’s faces; they looked at each other, no one daring to make a move.

The female doctor advised, “Miss, you mustn’t be impulsive. Think it through; I can try to help you stabilize.”

She prepared to come over and give Xu Chaomu an injection, but Xu Chaomu was very resistant.

She had so much she wanted to say, but she couldn’t utter a single word; her face was covered in sweat from the pain, and her complexion was unusually pale.

A multitude of reasons piled up inside her, telling her she didn’t want to keep the child anymore…

“Baby, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” she whispered in her heart.

She loved this little one dearly; it wasn’t that she didn’t want to protect it anymore, she was just… exhausted and no longer capable.

She hoped the child could forgive her. She couldn’t even protect herself anymore, so what could she offer this little one…

Her heart wrenched with pain, a pain that was indescribable.

“Terminate…” Xu Chaomu said with no color in her face, forcing out two words with all her might, yet very firmly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed the blanket and fainted again from the pain.

Seeing Xu Chaomu faint, several nurses hurriedly said, “Director, what should we do? Should we keep the child or not?”

The female doctor fell silent, then after a long while said, “We are only responsible for saving lives.”

“Okay,” the nurses understood.

The operating room returned to a quiet state, the surgical light shone on the hospital bed, and the female doctor began to work methodically.

The operation room was very quiet, but it was a different story outside the operating room.

A nurse found Wen Zhiyuan, who came rushing over from his department right away.

He hadn’t gone back to Splendid World at all last night; he was worried about Xu Chaomu.

He hadn’t expected that something would still happen.

“How is she?” Wen Zhiyuan asked as he walked toward the operating room.

“Not very good, very weak, and bleeding a little,” the nurse said nervously.

“In surgery?”

“Yes, Director Qian is operating on her.”

“Okay, got it,” Wen Zhiyuan arrived at the door of the operating room.

With the door firmly closed, no movement was visible. The area outside the operation room was somewhat dim, and Wen Zhiyuan stood outside, waiting for Xu Chaomu to come out.

He paced back and forth, walking anxiously.

This matter was too serious; he wasn’t sure whether he should tell Shen Chi or not.

But Shen Chi was far away in Washington, and even if Wen told him, he wouldn’t be able to make it back in time.

Moreover, Xu Chaomu had said that the conference Shen Chi was attending in Washington was quite important, related to an international exhibition and sale event.

If he informed Shen Chi, and Shen Chi couldn’t return, it would be a problem for both ends.

After much thought, he decided he would try to solve the problem for Xu Chaomu himself.

Time ticked by, and Wen Zhiyuan was the only one pacing back and forth outside the operating room.

Since it was a minor surgery, it didn’t take very long, and soon the door opened.

The female doctor came out, greeted Wen Zhiyuan with a nod upon spotting him.

Wen Zhiyuan, dressed in a white lab coat, approached with slightly furrowed brows, “How is she?”

“She’s out of danger for now, but she is very weak and needs good care. She needs to be looked after very well, or else the consequences could be unpredictable,” the female doctor said seriously.

Wen Zhiyuan nodded, “That won’t be a problem; I’ll arrange for someone to take care of her.”

“Alright,” the female doctor said, “Her mood is quite unstable, and she kept wanting to terminate the pregnancy. She hasn’t woken up yet.”

Terminate the pregnancy?

Wen Zhiyuan immediately realized that Xu Chaomu had not yet recovered from the shock of the previous night.

Yes, even for him, it still felt like a dream, let alone for Xu Chaomu, the person directly involved.

If Shen Cexian and Xu Chaomu really were father and daughter, Xu Chaomu could only terminate the pregnancy!

However, he wanted to fight for her one more time.

But after thinking all night, he still hadn’t found anything amiss, which was what troubled him so much.

“I’ll go see her,” Wen Zhiyuan set aside his thoughts and got ready to find Xu Chaomu.

“Alright,” the female doctor said, “By the way, Dr. Wen, do you know her?”

“Hmm, a friend.”

“Alright.”

Wen Zhiyuan was about to go inside when the nurses pushed Xu Chaomu out of the operation room.

Indeed, Wen Zhiyuan saw that Xu Chaomu had not yet woken up, her face still as pale as when he had left the day before.

Only this time, Xu Chaomu’s brows were deeply furrowed.

His gaze fell on her protruding belly, and he let out a slight sigh of relief; thankfully, the child was still there.

After they had taken Xu Chaomu into the ward, Wen Zhiyuan specially hired a professional caregiver for her.

Xu Chaomu lay quietly on the bed with an IV bag hanging from her hand and her eyes closed.

Wen Zhiyuan looked on with pity; the girl was really suffering…

The curtains in the room were half-drawn, and under the light, her brows gradually relaxed, casting a faint shadow from her long eyelashes onto her eyelids.

Wen Zhiyuan sighed again and sat by the bed, watching her.

He waited for quite a while, but Xu Chaomu didn’t wake, so he left her in the care of the caregiver and headed to his department.

…

Xu Chaomu woke up an hour later, the IV bag now empty, feeling as though she had slept for a century.

She moved her hand slightly, feeling a pricking pain on the back of her hand.

The pain in her body had subsided, and now, apart from exhaustion, she was still exhausted.

Her eyes felt heavy and wouldn’t open, her throat dry and burning. She wanted to move but felt as if she were being pressed down, utterly devoid of strength.

She simply stayed still, lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

Just then, the little one in her belly kicked her, and suddenly her tears started to flow…@@novelbin@@

Her baby was still there, still there…

She struggled to raise her arm, wanting to touch him.

Her hand slowly lifted from the bedsheets, and finally, she touched her baby.

Only she knew how much she loved him; she didn’t want to let him go, but it was to protect him, even if this way of loving was somewhat selfish…

“Baby…” she called out to him in her heart, “I’m sorry…”

This child had brought her endless hope and much happiness; during sleepless nights, just touching this baby brought her immense joy.

She loved him, loved him dearly…

But at times like this, she would remember that 99.99% on the test report… and Bai Man.

Bai Man, Bai Man, she had thought she would never have anything to do with Bai Man again in her life.

Yet why, after five years, did she reappear? And… with Shen Chi together.

She closed her eyes, not wishing to think about these things anymore. She had always disliked complications and wanted to forget them.

Actually, she should have understood many years ago that Shen Chi was not an ordinary person. She had fallen in love with Shen Chi, married him, and thus had to face more than others.

Her hand gently caressed her lower abdomen; she didn’t know how much longer she could stay with this child…
