Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Hm…” An Xiaxia struggled in pain.
Mu Li’s eyes were bloodshot red. As she choked An Xiaxia, she screamed like a crazy woman, “Give me back my baby… Give it back!”
“Mu Li, let go of me!” An Xiaxia managed to squeeze out those words, but she was still too weak to fight back and couldn’t break free.
The only good thing was that Mu Li was pretty weak herself and couldn’t tighten her grip, or An Xiaxia would have been long dead by now.
“I won’t… I won’t…” Mu Li’s face was streaked with tears. “Why did it have to be my baby but not yours? Do you have any idea how horrible that operation was… My baby had already taken shape and they had to tear it apart to get it out of me piece by piece… An Xiaxia, why did this happen to me? Why?!”
An Xiaxia hadn’t been told about Mu Li’s dead baby and she needed a moment to process it.
With all the strength she could summon, An Xiaxia reached for the call b.u.t.ton and pressed it.
Medical staff arrived immediately afterwards and everyone was shocked by the scene inside. They hurried to the side of the bed and pulled Mu Li away.
Mu Li was so weak that they pulled her back without difficulty. She fell back on the ground and couldn’t stop crying.
With the help of the nurse, An Xiaxia sat up and was caught in a fit of coughing.
“Why… why is this world so unfair…” Mu Li pounded her chest and stomped her feet, wis.h.i.+ng she was dead.
Tears welled up in An Xiaxia’s eyes. “I finally see what they mean by ‘people are more terrible creatures then ghosts or G.o.ds.’ Mu Li, what have I ever done to you? You were the one who misunderstood me and knocked me off the stairs. That’s why you lost your baby! You yourself are the only one to be blamed for what happened! You got your retribution for your own wrongdoing, but you’re blaming everyone else for it? You’re not making sense at all! You’ve caused everything, but you think you’ve done nothing wrong. Whereas I, who did nothing, should be punished? Your vulnerability doesn’t make you right!”
There was no absolute fairness in this world. One could never be happy if they kept comparing themselves with others.
Mu Li was exactly like that. She just had to draw comparisons with other people until hatred and anger were all she could see. What she had overlooked were all those people who had been nice to her.
Mu Li held her belly. She had just come out of the operating room and the anesthetic was wearing off. The pain was coming back. Scrambling on all fours, she stubbornly made her way toward An Xiaxia.
“No… your baby is going to keep mine company!”
Qi Yanxi, who had just arrived at the news, heard those words in the doorway. His face turned grim.
“That’s enough!” Qi Yanxi marched in and pulled Mu Li to her feet. “Go back to your room!”
Mu Li clasped his hands and begged. “Yanxi… Our baby is gone. An Xiaxia did it! It’s all her fault! Kill her and her baby and our child can come back…”
Qi Yanxi frowned. “Are you crazy? Even if she’s dead, our child isn’t going to come back! Mu Li, stop this nonsense!”
His deep voice woke Mu Li up like a thunderbolt.
Her mouth fell open as she stared blankly at Qi Yanxi.
“Do you think… it was my fault?” she asked gingerly like an innocent girl.
“Come with me,” said Qi Yanxi impatiently.
They b.u.mped into Sheng Yize, who had just come back.
Sheng Yize raised an eyebrow. “What’s going on?”
Qi Yanxi said embarra.s.sedly, “Mu Li is a little unstable mentally… you, well… it’s a long story. I’ll keep her under control.”
He tried his best to look for a way out for Mu Li, but she wouldn’t take it. Grinning, she said to Sheng Yize, “Why isn’t your baby dead?”
