She had just woken up, and her voice was still very weak.

Li Xingle was full of regret and self-blame, wishing that all the wounds and pain could only be borne by him alone.

Yesterday, the sight of her lying in a pool of blood truly frightened him.

"I was wrong, it’s my fault, forgive me! I won’t let go, I will never let go!" Li Xingle tightened his grip on her small hand, "Little Li, Little Li!"

"Don’t call me that, you make me sick! I don’t want to be anyone’s backup plan, love whoever you want, just spare me being the backup!" She tried to pull her hand back, her body moved.

"Don’t move, don’t move! The doctor said your body needs to rest, my love! I beg you, the baby was saved with great difficulty!" He truly made a mistake.

Is the baby still there?

Li Buyan suspected that Li Xingle was lying to her, how could the baby still be there!

She heard the baby say goodbye to her, she heard the baby say it was leaving her.

"We are not blood-related, truly, my dad and your dad are not biological brothers! Our baby is healthy, he definitely won’t be intellectually challenged in the future!" Li Xingle blurted out.

Li Buyan didn’t know whether these words were true, she only felt that she no longer had the confidence or courage to love the man before her.

Her love was nothing but a joke, a backup plan, a means of revenge.

He succeeded in tormenting her heart and spirit, making her live a life of regret and pain, making her lose her child.

Now, he tells her they are not blood-related, and their child will be healthy in the future!

How should she face the child who died three years ago?

Li Xingle, she had never seen such a cruel man!

Never!

She closed her eyes in despair, "I don’t want to hear a single word from you."

Li Xingle leaned closer, kissing the back of her hand repeatedly, "The baby is really still here, you must take care of your emotions."

"It’s not your place to control me!" Li Buyan exploded, "What gives you the right to treat me this way? Hot then cold, making mistakes then saying sorry, my heart has been broken by you! Li Xingle, I’ll say it again, I hate you, I despise you! Even if we aren’t blood-related, I will never be with you!"

Once, she thought countless times, how great it would be if they weren’t blood-related.

Now Li Xingle tells her they truly aren’t blood-related, but her heart has already been frozen, feeling no joy.

When did he know, why didn’t she know, how long has he lied to her about this?

She increasingly couldn’t understand the man she once loved!

Their hearts were growing farther apart.

It’s not as simple as a lack of blood relation to solve.

"Do you really want to see me with someone else?" Li Xingle clutched her small hand, love and regret interwoven in his gaze.

"Ha, you must really hate me, you’re with someone else and still want me to watch you flaunt your love."

"You know that’s not what I meant!"

"I don’t know!" Li Buyan shouted, "How you feel, I don’t know! I never knew!"

She thought he knew, but she was wrong.

She thought she could withstand the pressure, and give birth to a baby that was theirs, even if flawed.

But the end result?

She no longer wished to think, pressing the call button at the bedside for the doctor.

"We really aren’t blood-related, grandpa and grandma are a blended family, your dad is grandma’s son, but he has no relation with grandpa!" Li Xingle explained, "You can be mad at me, once you’ve had the baby, you can hit me or scold me as much as you like! Don’t take it out on yourself now, your body..."

"Have you said enough?" Li Buyan looked at him coldly, "I’m angry because you’re here, I see you, I hear your voice, I feel your presence, I’m filled with uncontainable rage! It’s you who makes me angry!"

"Then what do you want me to do? You asked me to stay!"

"That was before, now I don’t want to see you! The baby doesn’t want to see you either!" She had never felt this desperate.

Even knowing their blood relation back then, even resorting to desperate measures, now in retrospect, the hurt from back then pales in comparison.
