C213 (1/2)
In the laboratory, Chu Yufeng sat quietly by the side with a nervous expression on his face. As time passed, his worry was growing.
Yu Huan's poison seemed to grow on his body. Seeing how she pretended to be indifferent, her heart ached from the pain.
The door to the lab opened, and the Pharmacist walked out shaking her head. ”Young master Chu, this poison is too hard to cure. We've studied it for a long time, but we still haven't been able to remove the poison.”
Chu Yufeng's face turned darker and darker. After a while, he raised his head and looked at them. ”Is there any other way?”
”No, actually, this poison only flares up once every half a month or so. But your wife is pregnant, that's why the poison …” One of the pharmacists sighed and said.
”Do you mean to say that if you take this child away, she might have more time?” Chu Yufeng's voice was hoarse and trembling. This child was someone they had been dreaming of for a long time. No matter who it was, he was not sure if Yu Le would agree to let him go.
”Mr. Chu, even if we don't get rid of this child, this child will not be born.”
”What?” He looked at the pharmacist in shock, disbelief written all over his face. Even if he didn't remove it, he still wouldn't give birth? This child …
”The poison has already invaded the blood. Even if the antidote is made, the child's poison will not disappear. When the time comes, it will be like giving birth to a dead baby. So we all agree that we should persuade the noble woman to take this child.”
Chu Yufeng didn't say a word as he walked out slowly. It was still cold outside, and he felt cold from the bottom of his heart.
He had no other choice. Even if the child was healthy, he would beat it to death to save Yu Huan.
However, this matter was so cruel to Yu Huan. Would she agree?
Pushing the door open, she saw Yu Huan lying on the Imperial Consort's chair. She was fast asleep, her small lips pouting slightly, her eyelashes trembling from time to time.
He quietly stared at the sleeping figure, his lips tightly pursed. To him, this was a cruel choice.
”Dammit, why are you staring at that Mama?” Xiao Long walked in and looked curiously at Chu Yufeng.
”Let's go out and sleep again. Don't disturb her.” Chu Yufeng picked up Xiao Long and walked outside quietly.
Long Haochen held onto Chu Yufeng's neck, asking quietly, ”Dung, you must be looking at your little sister, right?”
After Xiao Long finished speaking, Chu Yufeng stiffened and his face turned serious. He didn't say anything.
”Mama said that Xiao Long's sister will definitely be as cute as Mama.”
Chu Yufeng took a deep breath, his eyes turning sour. ”Yes, it will be beautiful.”
He gently set the dragon aside and went down to the kitchen. A servant was cooking dinner.
”Make another chicken soup.”
He quietly sat on the sofa as if he was waiting for something. After who knows how long, he finally heard a leisurely voice coming from upstairs.
”Are you back early?”
Chu Yufeng raised his head to face the sleepy Yu Huan. He wanted to smile at her, but no matter what, the corners of his mouth couldn't move.
”I've been back for a while. How are you feeling today?”
”Very good.” She walked downstairs and sat beside him, leaning on his shoulder. Her four months of pregnancy had slightly bulged her lower abdomen.
She subconsciously placed her hand on her lower abdomen and whispered, ”I'm hungry.”
”Alright, then let's eat something.”
At this moment, the door opened. The dark night brought Xiao Ya in. Xiao Ya's eyes were red, obviously she had been crying.
”Master, Miss Xiao has arrived.”
Xiao Ya looked at Chu Yufeng with resentment in his eyes. ”Must we do this?”
”There's no other choice.”
Yu Huan curiously looked at them, not knowing what they were going to say.
”Xiao Ya, why are you crying? Who bullied you? ”
Hearing Yu Huan's words, Xiao Ya cried even harder. With a ”pa” sound, she threw the medicine box to the side and turned her back to him as she sobbed.
Yu Huan looked at Chu Yufeng in astonishment. Her heart grew increasingly uneasy as she asked in a soft voice, ”What's going on?”
Other than Xiao Ya's choked voice, the living room was silent. Everyone had a lonely expression on their faces, as if something was about to happen.
”Feng, what happened? Tell me.” Yu Huan pulled on his arm. Anxiety could be seen in her eyes as she felt a strong sense of unease spread throughout her body. She felt as if something had happened, or that something was about to happen.
Chu Yufeng sighed, tightly held her hand and said word by word, ”Huanhuan, let's not take this child anymore.”
”Why?” Yu Huan looked at him in astonishment. Her voice was filled with despair. She had relied on the child in her womb to persevere to this point. How could she say that she didn't want it?
”The child cannot be left alive.”
”What can't be left? What do you mean? Why can't my children stay? Didn't you like her a lot? And he even gave her a name. How can you say that you don't want it? ”
Facing Yu Huan's questioning, Chu Yufeng felt as if a sharp sword had pierced through his body. How could he not want this child to live? However, if he had to choose between the child and Yu Huan, he would only choose Yu Huan.
