What makes her think being a single mother is great? If she could choose, would she want her four children to be illegitimate, laughed at, and looked down upon?

She’s struggling now, pregnant, barely capable of doing any strenuous work. Doesn’t she wish someone would care for her and pay attention to her?

Third Young Master Jun said, "Ye Lu, then I’m even more puzzled about what you’re thinking. Why don’t you ask for the father of Yuanyuan and Yiyi to take responsibility? Why insist on tormenting yourself by being a single mom? I’m even more puzzled when you lost your two children, and yet, you want the child in your belly to repeat the same fate..."

Ye Lu shivered, "I don’t understand why I’m so damned unlucky!"

The first time was violated by a stranger, she bore two children. The second time she was bullied, she got pregnant. Could she choose?

Not once did she have the right to choose, regardless of her willingness to do so. She had to unconditionally accept everything, and then give birth to the kids. She also wished to know why she was so unlucky. What did she do wrong? She was always bound to this tragic fate.

In the end, even the children she struggled to raise were lost. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"You could have had it easier. But you chose to make yourself suffer. This is you bringing it upon yourself."

"Yes, I brought it upon myself." She smiled, even hoping that she was indeed self-deprecating, at least to blame herself.

But right from the start to the very end, all she could do was succumb to the whims of fate, drifting with the flow, not even sure of who she should hate.

Seeing her painful smile, Third Young Master Jun’s eyes dimmed.

"If you don’t want things to get worse, I’d advise you to ask the child’s father to take responsibility. In your current weak state, even the act of living alone is a challenge. Have you thought about that? As the months go by, things will only get tougher.

Given your current physical condition, are you sure you can keep that child in your belly? Twin pregnancies are risky, and you’ve already shown signs of a potential miscarriage. If you continue to live this way without protective measures, the probability of you losing the baby increases."

Ye Lu shivered all over, her face instantly paling. She had never considered these things before.

As she had given birth to Yuanyuan and Yiyi before, she believed it would be just the same this time; she could manage alone.

However, as the days passed, she increasingly felt that this pregnancy was a lot more unstable than it was with Yuanyuan and Yiyi. Her physical and mental condition were terrible, and she was feeling exhausted.

The incident with the bottled water earlier made her realise her powerlessness. She was beginning to acknowledge that she couldn’t take care of herself. If something really happened to the baby, what would she do?

The thought made her heart constrict and she was terrified.

She had never imagined that she would not be able to give birth to these two children. She had always believed that she could deliver them safely, just as she did with Yuanyuan and Yiyi.

The possibility of miscarriage made her fingers tremble.

She couldn’t! She had already lost two children. She couldn’t lose more! Otherwise, she would go crazy. What should she do? What should she do?

She looked at Third Young Master Jun, her eyes filled with panic.

If she told him, surely he would be able to save her children. But he was getting married soon. He was preparing to marry Bai Sijia. He didn’t like her and did not want to accept her.

But if he knew these children were his, he might accept them, if only for their sake.

Ye Lu struggled for a long time, but she didn’t have the courage to speak up.

"Are all the documents in order?" Third Young Master Jun picked up the files on the table.

"Yes, they’re all complete," muttered Ye Lu, her lips parched.

Third Young Master Jun stood up and walked to the door, files in hand.

"Third Young Master..." Ye Lu looked pale, and her voice was trembling, "I, I..."

Third Young Master Jun turned back, frowning at her.

Ye Lu’s face turned even paler, her eyes torn and uncertain. Under his intense gaze, she struggled for a long time before gathering up the courage to speak.

"I lied to you. The child in my stomach... is yours!"
