Chapter 887: Past and Present Life (1)
Mu Donglin looked at Lin Kerou in disbelief and froze.
Lin Kerou looked at him and reached out towards the barrier in an attempt to touch his hand.
Finally she could feel the warmth of his body through the cold and emotionless iron barrier.
He was still alive.
She needed him to stay alive, now and always.
Lin Kerou smiled in satisfaction, but not before her tears fell. She choked and shouted, “I will get our baby’s father out of here. Lin Ya harmed you. He should be the one sentenced to death. You’re innocent, and I know that better than anyone else.”
Mu Donglin’s feet were secured to the two corners of the cell and he could not walk far.
He raised his arm and held Lin Kerou’s hand from a distance.
They were so close, yet so far apart.
In less than two days, he was going to die.
Realizing this, Mu Donglin loosened his grip again.
However, Lin Kerou held his fingers tightly and shouted, “No!”
Lin Kerou no longer spoke softly. She pleaded, “Don’t let go, Brother Donglin.”
Mu Donglin looked at her for a long time and smiled bitterly. “Kerou, abort the baby.”
Lin Kerou widened her eyes and shook her head vehemently. “No way! This is your child. I will keep him!”
“He won’t have a father.” Mu Donglin gently pushed her hand away and said bitterly, “Lin Ya wants me dead. There’s no other way.”
“No, I’ve already secured evidence that Lin Ya framed you and he was the one who committed the crime.” Lin Kerou said through gritted teeth. “If anyone should die, it is he. Brother Donglin, I won’t let anything happen to you!”
“The verdict has been passed. The execution is the day after tomorrow…”
“There will be a turnaround!” Lin Kerou looked at Mu Donglin and held his hand tightly. “I will destroy him!”
Mu Donglin looked at her for a long time. He gently stroked her soft palm with his fingers and sighed after a long time.
Lin Kerou looked at him and swallowed hard. She whispered, “Brother Donglin, when you’re out of here, accompany me to the prenatal checkup. We haven’t gone on our honeymoon yet. Once our child is born, we’ll go on our honeymoon. I heard that Li Beinian and Mu Xichen went to England, then Italy, and now Hawaii… They’ve only been married for a short time. We haven’t been to all the places they’ve been to. I want to go too. Brother Donglin, will you take me to these places?”
Take me on a trip, so that I can experience the bliss of being doted on by my husband.
Just like Li Beinian.
Mu Donglin was silent for a moment before saying in a hoarse voice, “I might not be able to get out.”
“No.” Lin Kerou hurriedly interrupted him. “I’ll get you out of here. For sure!”
Perhaps Lin Kerou’s words had an effect, Mu Donglin actually dreamed of their honeymoon in his sleep.
In his dream, he held Lin Kerou’s hand as they strolled along the golden beach. The afterglow of the setting sun cast long shadows behind them. Lin Kerou jumped and skipped to step on his shadow.
Suddenly, she looked up and smiled radiantly, calling out to him, “Mu Donglin, when are we going to call off the engagement?”
Mu Donglin shuddered. At once, the scene before his eyes blurred. Lin Kerou’s face was contorted and morphed into a different face.
She smiled radiantly and beautifully, and her fair face seemed to glow with a delicate light.
Mu Donglin felt his chest tighten. The next moment, he saw her lying in a pool of blood. Her mouth was filled with fresh blood and all color had drained from her face. He looked closer and realized, the fluid-filled cavity was empty where her tongue should have been!
