Yan Yu looked with a heartache at her pale daughter.

After awakening, Ye Lu also spoke to her about some things from the past, including the matters of the two children, Gu Yan and Shang Jingchen. Her daughter spoke of it lightly, casually glossing it over as if it weren’t anything significant.

But she understood the struggle and pain in her words. She didn’t know that during the time she was unconscious, so many unfortunate events had happened to her daughter. It was only thanks to her daughter’s strength that she was able to endure until today.

"Mom, I will never give up what truly belongs to me. I’ve lost too much, so I’ll hold on even more firmly to what I can have. They’re all my heart’s delight, my hope for living. You can’t imagine... if it wasn’t for Yuanyuan and Yiyi, I’m afraid...I wouldn’t be able to see you today."

Ye Lu gave a bitter smile. She was never strong, but her children became her source of strength.

She loved them, and as long as she was with them, she was content. She no longer hoped for anything else.

"What about the father of the children, isn’t he taking care of these two kids?" Yan Yu frowned.

Ye Lu’s face changed, her gaze lowering. "I don’t need him to care, and I don’t want him to. Furthermore, if he did care, it would only be for the children. He doesn’t have feelings for me, and I don’t have feelings for him."

Remembering his cold revenge on her, but hearing how happy he was when he found out she was pregnant, made her heart feel even worse.

The children were far more important than her. Yes, Old Madam Jun liked children, and he must have wanted children to please Old Madam Jun. If something were to happen to her and the children, and only one could be saved, she thought that she would undoubtedly be the one sacrificed! 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Seeing her daughter’s face filled with disappointment, Yan Yu’s heart ached even more. This child was stubborn. Once she gave up hope, she could harden her heart completely. Yan Yu feared that her daughter was completely disappointed in that man.

But in such a situation, her life would only become harder. Yan Yu really didn’t know if her decision to privately reject Hua Lunxi’s request was right or not.

If her daughter had a powerful family, at least she wouldn’t live such a hard life. But there were always losses for every gain.

As the mother and daughter were talking about this,

suddenly the door was violently pushed open. A man stormed in with fury written all over his face, ignoring the doctors and nurses who tried to stop him.

Seeing the man’s face, Ye Lu instantly went pale, her face hardening. "Third Young Master Jun, what are you here for? We’ve made ourselves clear already."

Third Young Master Jun glared at her with hateful eyes, his anger seething. He threw a few pieces of paper at her and coldly asked.

"How do you explain these?"

Ye Lu looked down and instantly paled, her heart freezing.

The papers were her medical records and lab results. How did he get them?

"Ye Lu, do you think it necessary to be so cruel? You are pregnant, but you claimed it was appendicitis. You think I don’t have the right to know about the child’s existence?" His voice was filled with anger and heartache, and his face was almost distorted.

It was enough that she had kept it from him all along. But that night, she claimed it was appendicitis, tricking him like he was a fool.

He always felt there was something suspicious, so he came to the hospital to check personally. Once he checked, he indeed found the real reason for her hospitalization.

She was truly pregnant.

When he found out, he was beyond livid. How dare she fool him like this.

Faced with his cold and furious questioning, Ye Lu’s face turned even paler, but she just scoffed at him.

"Because, I really don’t think you have the right to know all this, Third Young Master Jun. What gives you the right to know?"

"On the basis of these lab results and the timing of your pregnancy."
