Chapter 651 - The Arrival Of The Schneider Family (1/2)

Although London's head was still filled with a million worries about L's fate, being allowed to lie down beside L and hug her made him feel a little calmer as if he could ensure the safety of L and their child by holding her tightly.

Even the grim reaper wouldn't be able to take L from him without a fight.

He won't give up so easily. Since he first saw L at Stephan's party, he had fallen in love with her.

He also loved their child wholeheartedly since he found out L was pregnant with his child. At present, for London, there was nothing more important in this world besides the two.

L, who previously had trouble sleeping, quickly relaxed and closed her eyes, falling asleep after a few minutes. Her head snuggled to London's c.h.e.s.t and subconsciously looked for the most comfortable position, while London himself tried not to move to avoid waking L up.

He couldn't sleep at all that night. He repeatedly kissed L on the forehead and took deep breaths.

L woke up when the sun was high outside the hospital, but due to the darkened blackout curtains, the atmosphere in the ICU room where she was treated was still dark.

”Good morning.” London's warm voice could be heard from above L's head. It only then did the girl realize that the young man's head was above her because she slept while hugging the him, even putting her head on London's c.h.e.s.t.

L blinked several times and tried to collect her memories. Her body felt like it was crushed and her c.h.e.s.t still ached like it did yesterday. She soon realized that her weak heart was throwing another tantrum.

Last night, she had briefly woken up and talked to London, but not much because she soon returned to sleep. This morning, she felt they would be able to talk more...

Alas...! She felt that her lower body was wet. Confused, L touched her clothes. She immediately panicked.

”Wait... what's this? Why is my body wet?” She asked worriedly. ”Is my baby okay?”

London knew that L's amniotic fluid had seeped out a little and made her w.o.m.b very vulnerable. Doctors were still trying to delay the birth for as long as possible, since the gestational age was still very young, only 6.5 months.

They even tried to replace the missing amniotic fluid with synthetic amniotic fluid, but after 15 hours, L's condition remained unchanged. They only gave nine more hours until they had to force L to give birth to the baby, whether alive or dead.

”It's amniotic fluid. It just seeped out a little, that's fine,” London tried to calm her down. ”I'll call a nurse to help you change.”

L became more panicked. She wasn't stupid. Even though she was young, she knew what it meant when the amniotic fluid was seeping out. The baby in the w.o.m.b can't stay in the w.o.m.b any longer and must be born.

”But... but Lily hasn't even reached the proper month...” L began to sob. ”She's still 6.5 months old... She won't survive...”

He was always weak against L's tears, but today, his defense collapsed with nothing left, and his heart was broken seeing L lamented Lily so poignantly.

Didn't L repeatedly say she didn't want this child? She also said many times that she would leave once she gave birth to Lily and would never appear again. And even just yesterday, L made it clear to him that she would go with Danny and told London to pick Lily up with Finland as soon as she gave birth to the baby.

If L really didn't want this child... why was she crying like this?

Did she change her mind? London could only ask himself.

London hugged L without saying anything. He knew at a time like this, any words of consolation had no meaning.
