"You really are naive. You didn’t even bother to ask the situation clearly, yet you stand there with a foolish grin, pretending to be a father. She just had appendicitis. She underwent an appendectomy a few days ago. With you all bumping into her like that, how could she not hurt?"

Third Young Master Jun’s face stiffened, his smile frozen in place.

"Drive, doctor. This man is just a bystander."

...

In the ambulance, Ye Yuan held Ye Lu’s hand tightly, his eyes filled with tears of anger and heartache.

"Mommy, you won’t blame me for taking matters into my own hands, will you? I just thought... you probably didn’t want to see him."

Ye Lu’s lips turned white: "No, you did well. If the baby is fine, I don’t want to be with him. If the baby is gone... I can never forgive him."

What happened tonight deeply hurt her, making it clear to her that he could be fickle — adoring her when he’s happy, yet cruelly tormenting and trampling on her when he’s not.

He even used her as Bai Sijia’s target.

All along, she has been nothing more than a toy. A toy that he played with whenever he wanted.

"He’s too much. He actually let that woman push you." Ye Yuan saw everything that happened earlier, and he was seething with anger.

Initially, he thought that this man genuinely cared about his mother, so he reluctantly accepted him. But this man humiliated and bullied his mother, even allowing his girlfriend to push her. He’s unforgivable.

"How did you know about my pregnancy? How did you end up here?" Ye Lu gave a bitter smile. She thought she had managed to hide it well, but she couldn’t fool this clever little boy.

"I took your medicine to the pharmacy and found out that it’s a prenatal drug. Mommy, you shouldn’t have kept this a secret from us. We could have taken good care of you. You wouldn’t have to work so hard or be bullied like this."

He was in tears. Even if he felt powerless, at least he could be with her during her hard times.

She wouldn’t have to bear such a burden all alone.

He showed up tonight because she hadn’t come home for a while. He called her, and she said she had some matters to discuss with Third Young Master Jun in the city.

As soon as he heard her agitated voice, he knew something was wrong. Worried, he quickly found her location through her phone GPS and hurried over, only to witness the whole process of Third Young Master Jun bullying and upsetting her.

This man was no different from the others, he didn’t genuinely care about his mother. He didn’t want him to be his dad either.

Ye Lu wiped his tears with a heavy heart.

"Only my children truly love me. I will never trust anyone else again."

...

After several hours of surgery, Ye Lu’s baby was saved. Although she had fallen, the baby had not been hit directly and the amount of bleeding was minimal, preventing a miscarriage.

But the situation was still not very optimistic. The baby was at risk due to the instability of the pregnancy.

Ye Lu lied in her hospital bed feeling relief that the baby was saved. She didn’t want to worry about anything else at the moment. She just wanted to properly take care of her baby and do everything within her power to keep him.

She had learned from her recent experiences, even if she managed to secure a future, what was the point if she couldn’t save her child?

Even if future hardships awaited, as long as she delivers the child and has four lovely babies by her side, she wouldn’t care how hard it would be.

Yan Yu was also discharged from the hospital. Hearing that Ye Lu was still hospitalized, she came over to visit her.

"Kid, you’re really having a tough time. Four babies... Anyone else in your shoes wouldn’t even want one. After all, life is hard enough for a single woman with just one child. Yet, you’re planning to raise four."
