Chapter 445 - Where are you going?! (2/2)
Hearing the words he did no want to hear, Lu Tian felt something hit him hard in the chest. The feeling was like a million shocks of lightning had struck right into his heart making it harder to breathe.
Without saying a word, he held the ultrasound photo in his hand and slowly turns away. Walking in the opposite direction of the operating room, he felt like everything in his world had turned dark.
Like the light that once lit his path for him no longer existed.
Whichever direction his feet wanted to go, he didn't care anymore.
”Tian! Where are you going?! Tian!”
Madam Lu sobbingly yells out after him when she saw him walk away. How can he leave and not check on her daughter-in-law? Does he not care about her?
”Yue Ling needs you! Why are you leaving?! You unfilial son!”
Watching Lu Tian walk away, Grandfather Ji walks toward the boy but does not stop him. Instead, he stops in front of Madam Lu and shook his head to her.
”Give him some time.”
He looks back at Lu Tian's departing figure. After experiencing all the dreadful feelings of losing those dear to him, he knows better than anyone how Lu Tian is feeling at this moment.
However, he hopes that Lu Tian does not loose his way.
Xu Long stares at his boss and he did not know what to say. This is the first time he has seen the strong and powerful man look so fragile.
”Boss...”
As Lu Tian walks pass him, he part his lip to say something, but Lin Hui stops him. Turning to look at the man, Lin Hui shook his head as if saying, Lu Tian needed to be alone.
Passing the long hospital corridor, Lu Tian stares into emptiness as he continued to walk and walk wherever his legs went.
Lost in his own world, he comes to stop in an empty hallway with no one was in sight.
Feeling the photo in his hand, it was like reality finally struck him in the head. He leans against the wall and slowly slid down onto the floor.
He raise his trembling hand holding the ultrasound photo of his and Yue Ling's baby and stares at it.
Yue Ling's blood that stained his hand had transferred onto the photo as what was once white was now covered in red.
Lu Tian struggles a pain wrecking gulp and he faintly smiles.
”I really wanted to meet you...”
When he held his wife in his arms, he saw the blood on her, but he didn't want to believe it. He kept telling himself that as long as he held onto her, their baby would be safe too.
However, remembering the doctor's words, his lower lip trembles and he chokes a gasping sob.
”I'm so sorry…”
He caress the photo and for the first time in his life, his vision blur everything away as a tear slid down his cheek.
And once that first tear broke free, the rest quickly followed after.
”Forgive me for being a useless father…”
Pressing the photo against his heart, his soul wrenching sobs tore through his chest as he clutch his chest tightly.
”Forgive me for not keeping my promise...”
