Chapter 1478 - He Wanted to Make Her Pay
Chapter 1478: He Wanted to Make Her Pay
The sun had risen. Gu Meng slowly arose from her sleep. She opened her eyes and stared at the snowy white ceiling above her. All she smelt was the scent of disinfectant as the pain of having a knife stab deep into her flesh seemed to linger in her body.
She was still in somewhat of a daze.
“Baby…” She spoke with a hoarse voice. Then, as if recalling something, she called out once more, “Brother Fu.”
Through her murky gaze, she seemed to see a tall black figure standing beside her bed.
She reached her hand out with difficulty and grabbed that person’s hand. “Brother Fu, Brother Fu, are you alright? What about my baby? How is he?”
She wanted to reach for her abdomen, but she was scared at the same time.
She could feel that something was missing from her body and she was scared that it was her baby…
Her baby wasn’t at full term yet. Would there be any problems if he was born?
She opened her mouth, wanting to say some more when the hand she was holding on suddenly flicked her hand away.
Her hand was thrown toward the bed. As the pain from the impact overwhelmed her, her murky consciousness instantly cleared up.
After seeing whom the man standing beside her bed was, her long lashes fluttered like injured butterfly wings.
The person standing beside her bed was not Fu Cheng, but Ye Qing with an icy and indifferent face.
His usually clean chin was covered with stubble. His dark and deep eyes were filled with redness, and his gaze on her was so cold that it was completely void of temperature.
Gu Meng moved her body, but the pain was still present in her bones.
She widened her large eyes, which were void of the usual sparkles. Instead, they were filled with darkness and helplessness as everything that had happened the night before flashed through her mind like a flood.
“How is the baby?” She remembered that the doctor had said her baby had came out before she had fainted the night before.
She didn’t want to recall how much pain she had been in when she had been giving birth to the baby. As long as he was alright, she would gladly endure whatever hardships she had to.
Ye Qing tugged his equally pale lips as a scoff-like smile appeared on his handsome and cold face. His expression was void of any temperature and was terribly icy and cold. “Do you still care about how the baby is?”
Gu Meng stared at the man who was looking down at her. The ridicule and indifference in his eyes were like needles, piercing through her heart ruthlessly. Her hands grabbed the bedsheets under her subconsciously as her eyelashes fluttered terribly. “… I didn’t think there would be an accident… I didn’t want to harm the baby…”
His deep eyes reddened even more as he bent down. His long fingers grabbed hold of her thin and frail jaw. His gaze on her looked as if he was a devil that wanted to swallow her. “You kept a handphone behind my back, contacted your ex-boss in the middle of the night, and got him to run away with you. Why? Do you want to make my child acknowledge him as his father?”
— Gu Meng looked at the man who was full of anger, as if he wanted to cut her into pieces, her heart tightened. She did not know if he was like this because of her escape or because something had happened to the baby…
“What happened to the baby? Please, tell me!”
His gaze on her sharpened even more. “It would only be three weeks more before he would come to this world at full term. I’ve said before that I wouldn’t restrict your freedom once you gave birth to him, but you couldn’t even wait for three weeks? You ran away with that Fu guy with my child. Gu Meng, is this how you take revenge on me?”
Gu Meng’s heart crumpled in pain as her soul shivered. If she had known that they would meet with an accident along the way, she would never have left, no matter how suffocating and suppressing it was to stay with him.
The baby was a piece of flesh that had come from her. If anything happened to him, she would be in even more pain as a mother!
After the baby started to move, she was used to speaking to him every day. Sometimes, as long as the baby didn’t move for several hours, she would be nervous and worried.
She cared more about this child than anyone else!
“I’m sorry. As long as the baby is still alive, I won’t fight with you anymore. You can do whatever you want…”
Ha.
Ye Qing smirked as he scoffed and let go of her chin. He straightened his body and looked down at her. “I’ve already given you a chance. From the moment you decided to leave with Fu Cheng, I’ve lost all trust in you. You have to pay for your actions.”
There was no other emotion on his face apart from an indifferent coldness. However, his dark eyes reddened even more, as though he hated her intensely.
Gu Meng opened her mouth, wanting to say something. However, he turned around and left with large strides.
Gu Meng lifted her blanket, wanting to get out of bed. But her abdomen hurt terribly and she couldn’t get up at all.
She could only watch Ye Qing leave.
She had met with an accident last night, given birth to a child and lost a lot of blood. When she woke up earlier, her relationship with Ye Qing had worsened even more. She was really tired and exhausted.
It was as though she was currently in a depthless abyss. Everything around her was black and she was the only one present. Unending ice and darkness surrounded her and she couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.
In the end, because she was way too weak, she fell unconscious once again.
Even though she had fallen unconscious, she felt pangs of pain in her heart. Her hands moved toward her abdomen from time to time, until she startled herself awake from her nightmare.
She stared at the ceiling blankly.
Thinking about how cold his gaze had been, could it be that something had happened to the baby after he was born?
At this thought, her heart started to ache.
In the afternoon, a nurse came to help her put on a drip.
Treating the nurse as her only savior, she asked hoarsely, “Miss Nurse, how is my child? Also, about that person that was sent into the hospital with me, is he seriously injured?”
The nurse glanced at Gu Meng’s pale face and avoided her eyes. “Miss Gu, please don’t ask anything. Just recover and go through your confinement period well.”
The nurse left hurriedly.
Gu Meng laid on the bed weakly and helplessly. A scorching tear slid down from the corner of her eye, falling on her hair, wetting it.
She knew that everyone in the hospital only listened to Ye Qing’s orders.
He didn’t let them tell her about the conditions of the baby and Brother Fu. He wanted her to panic and be worried.
This was the price of her running away behind his back with another man!
…
After Ye Qing left Gu Meng’s room, he remained standing in front of the newborns’ room and stared at the thin and small boy through the glass window.
He was still fragile. His immunity was almost absent, so his family members couldn’t even go in to visit him.
In consideration of Ye Qing’s status, the hospital placed the little boy in a solo ICU room with the best pediatric doctors in the hospital.
Ye Qing rested his hands on the glass window as he stared at the little boy inside. He was so small, so thin, as if he would break with just a pinch.
Other families’ newborns were all pink and cute and yet, his was wrinkly and thin. His ribs could be seen clearly and every time his heart beat, it felt as though his heart would jump out of his frail and thin chest.
Ye Qing’s tall and cold figure trembled slightly as his depthless dark eyes reddened once more.
If the child could not get out of a critical condition, he would definitely make that man die with his child!
