704 A Million Times for You 66 (2/2)

The lights of the operating theater were switched off more than an hour later.

Mo Li was pushed out of the theater by a nurse. Her eyes were tightly shut, and she looked pale and lifeless with her purplish lips, due to the excessive amount of blood she had lost.

”Doctor, how's my wife now?” Ye Xiaotian asked worriedly.

”She has suffered a miscarriage, and her womb is heavily wounded. Her life is not in danger now.”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the surgeon's words.

Long Tianze was overwhelmed with agony as he stared at the unconscious Mo Li.

He felt exceptionally upset to see the sorry state that his childhood friend had ended up in.

Long Tianze remained quiet throughout the journey back and constantly smoked cigarettes, stick after stick.

Mei Yangyang took over the wheel and rolled down the windows to let the smoke out.

Upon arriving home, Long Tianze switched on the heater in the room and removed his jacket. He then sat on the bed and snubbed his cigarette into the ashtray.

Mei Yangyang handed him a glass of warm water and said, ”Have some water, simmer down.”

He took two gulps of the water before saying, ”She was such an adorable child, and yet she's gone just like that. I really don't understand, how did things come to this?”

”Sis and I have talked about Mo Li before. One is bound to pay a huge price in exchange for something they're not fated to have.”

Long Tianze placed the glass onto the table and pulled Mei Yangyang into his embrace. ”If it were me, I definitely wouldn't put you through such torment,” he said.

She stroked his hair and said, ”I know, you wouldn't let me be aggrieved at all.”

Just as they fell asleep, Mo Li came to in the hospital.

Her lips were dry and cracked, and she squinted while scanning her surroundings. The smell of antiseptic solution wafted up to her nose, and she was surrounded by white walls.

Her parents were accompanying her by her bed.

None of the Ye family members were in sight.

Mo Li teared up and choked with sobs at the thought of her daughter.

”Mother…”

Upon hearing her daughter's hoarse voice, Mrs. Mo looked up and stepped forward together with Mr. Mo. ”Mo Li, don't cry. Father and Mother are here with you.”

Her parents were comforting her in the same way that they did whenever she fell ill as a child.

Mo Li held Mrs. Mo's hand and said, ”Nini is gone.”

Teary-eyed, Mrs. Mo nodded and answered, ”I know.”

Mo Li could not contain her sadness and burst into tears again, causing her body to tense up and her wound to stretch.

”Don't cry.” Mrs. Mo reached a hand out to wipe her tears.

After weeping for a while, Mo Li stopped crying and said, ”I really don't want to live anymore.”

Mrs. Mo felt as if she had been stabbed in her heart a million times. ”What's going to happen to me and your father if you're dead? No matter what, we won't let you continue living with Ye Xiaotian, regardless of what it takes. Once you've recovered, divorce him immediately and free yourself from such a torturous life.”

Staring blankly into space, Mo Li lamented, ”I really regret it too. I regret marrying him after giving birth to Nini. I thought that he could give us a complete family. Seems like I was wrong.”

Although there were days of bliss, they were nothing compared to the pain and hardship she had had to endure.

She'd been struck with a huge blow.

She had completely given up on Ye Xiaotian and no longer wanted to see him ever again.
