C15 Guilt

"Doctor, what did you say? "What child?" Ye Ming Xuan felt as if his chest was blocked by a boulder, and even his breathing was painful. He nearly grabbed the doctor's clothes to question him.

The word 'child' pierced deep into his heart like a sharp knife.

The doctor shook his head and sighed, "What? Do you not even know that your own wife is pregnant, young people these days? "

"I —"

The doctor sighed and said unhappily in his heart, "You young couples, even if you want to quarrel, you have to behave appropriately. What a pity."

Ye Ming Xuan was left speechless.

The doctor sighed, "Hey, Mr. Ye, take good care of your wife. We've already done our best, but your wife suffered too much damage from this impact. She might not be able to conceive again in the future."

Child? Can't get pregnant later? Ye Ming Xuan was stupefied by this chain of events.

Self-reproach and guilt were like a rope that tightened around his neck, making it impossible for him to breathe. It was he who had made her lose her child. It was he who had made her lose her chance to be a mother.

"Oh!" Ye Ming replied in a daze. He didn't realize that there was a problem with the doctor's way of addressing Xia Wanxin.

Child? How could they have children?

In that second, Ye Ming discovered that every time he wanted her, every time they were together, he never seemed to ask her to do anything. Could it be that the child in Xia Wan's heart was his?

If that was the case, he would have to personally end the life of his child …

This thought flashed across Ye Ming Xuan's mind and he froze.

No? Not his? It couldn't be his? Then who could it be? It must be Shen Zhenpeng's!

Is that so? Isn't it? Countless questions surfaced in his mind. But had he killed her child with his own hands, had he prevented her from being a mother in the future? However, Xia Wan was too careless. She couldn't even blame him for getting pregnant.

Ye Ming Xuan sat in the corridor outside the ward, repeatedly admonishing himself and deceiving himself time and time again. He thought that he would feel better this way. He thought that the guilt and remorse in his heart would be slightly reduced. However, the guilt did not diminish at all. Instead, it made him feel even more uncomfortable and irritated.

Ye Ming Xuan sat outside the ward, impatiently smoking for the entire night. He smoked until the cigarette box was empty, until his throat was dry and dry, but it didn't lessen the boredom in his heart.

The sky gradually brightened. Ye Ming Xuan stood at the door and looked at the pale-faced Xia Wanxin. How could he face her? How could he tell her these cruel things?

Next day

When Xia Wanxin woke up from the hospital room, the nurse came to investigate and found out about what happened to her last night. Only then did she realize that she wasn't just suffering physically, she had also lost a child, and at the same time, she had also lost the chance to be a mother forever. She was stunned, and couldn't recover for a long time.

Ye Ming Xuan walked in from outside with his breakfast in hand. He watched her as she sat there in a daze, looking out of the window with a dark expression. His heart skipped a beat, but he pretended as if nothing had happened.

But she did not respond, did not look at him, as if he did not exist, as if there were something outside the window that attracted her.

He held her cold hand tightly and consoled her in a low voice, "The doctor said that since you have nothing to do, you can go home and rest for a few days. After that, I'll have Sister Zhang cook some nutritious food for you."

He thought it would make her feel better.

Xia Wanxin did not struggle at all. She turned her head, let out a bitter sneer and coldly asked, "Go home? Go home? Are you going to keep this a secret for the rest of your life? "

Hearing this, Ye Ming's heart clenched and he trembled in pain.

After which, he heard a bitter laugh, "Forget it, I don't plan to give birth to him."

He looked at her. His tone was light, but it was as though a giant rock had smashed into his heart. In that instant, he felt sorry for her …

She was like a block of ice as she sat there stiffly. She was neither noisy nor interesting.

He knew that she must be in pain, and in her heart, she must be very sad. In that second, even if Xia Wanxin hit him and scolded him, if she could make her mood better, then it wouldn't matter anymore.

Suddenly, she gently pushed him away and said lightly: "You can go now, I need to rest."

I'm going to rest. I've pushed him into a distant wasteland, as if he were a stranger.

Ye Ming Xuan didn't know what to say or do as he watched her curl up in the bed sheet. He could only stand up and say, "Mm. I'll leave first. Sister Zhang will take care of you."
