The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 365 - 227: Husband, Can You Really Not Accept This Child?
"Nuannuan, be good, in the future we..."
"Future? What future?" Yun Chunnuan stroked her belly, her gaze drifting from a vacant stare to finally land on the face of the man filled with pain.
She smiled bitterly, tears in her eyes, "Husband, is there really a future? With one pregnancy like this, can you guarantee that future pregnancies will be like other children’s?"
This incident was too sudden.
What was initially a surprise suddenly turned into bad news.
She couldn’t accept it, nor could Yelyu Lie bear it.
But he knew in his heart, his young wife was right, if this pregnancy was like this, then the future... the future might very well be the same.
He couldn’t allow this future to come!
With fists clenched tightly, Yelyu Lie took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice from trembling too much.
"The child is not important to me at all."
"I only want you, Nuannuan, having you is enough for me."
"We... we can be just the two of us..."
"No way!" Before he could finish, she interrupted with her excited voice, "Your body is healthy, I have no problems, we both want a baby, we’ve even fantasized about what name to give the baby, we’ve discussed whether it would be a boy or a girl, we’ve even thought about what the baby would look like!
Why give up? Why can’t I have my own child? Why?!"
Originally pale, her face flushed with excitement.
Her eyes, misted with tears, were bloodshot, her voice hoarse, "Husband, losing a baby must be very painful. I’m scared, I’m truly scared..."
Even though they were married, even though she could rightfully own her own baby.
Although he/she came rather suddenly, after the surprise came joy.
She was ready, even if the child was impaired, she had Spiritual Spring Water, she’d strive to heal the baby.
But why did it have to be like this?
Tears flowed down like rain, this delicate little person was fragile and helpless.
Yelyu Lie sat at the bedside, tightly holding her in his arms, kissing her brow, her eyes, the crown of her head.
He was heartbroken, yet it was futile.
It was his fault, all his fault, sorry, Nuannuan, sorry...
But what good could an apology do?
No one wanted this.
This day would come sooner or later, it just came too early, they were completely unprepared.
Let it be for now, give her some time.
Also let him gather enough strength to prepare...
At this time, Imperial Physician Cui, who had already exited the General Mansion, suddenly paused at the door.
He stopped his steps, seemingly deep in thought.
Always felt he missed something important.
What could it be?
He pondered for a long time, so long that people passing by would give him strange looks.
Imperial Physician Cui patted his forehead, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t remember what it was.
Aging has made this brain less useful by the day, useless!
Forget it, maybe it’s best to wait until the General’s wife figures things out, then he could return, it wouldn’t be too late.
With this wait, seven days passed.
During the grand New Year, the General Mansion didn’t have a single bit of festive spirit.
No one knew what happened, only that the wife stayed in the room all day without showing herself.
The General would come out of the room, but each time he went out in a hurry and returned equally hastily.
Bearing large packages into the room, no one knew what he was carrying, wrapped so tightly.
Seven days, Yun Chunnuan visibly grew thinner at an alarming rate.
Not the natural slender figure she originally had, but like a rose wilting and withering.
Her originally pale face deeply recessed, her cheekbones were very small, when her chubby cheeks were lifted, she looked like a cute little bun.
Now because of her cheeks rapidly sinking in, her cheekbones protruded, with only a layer of skin hanging, gone was the cuteness and charm, even a bit horrifying.
Her originally large eyes now seemed even more conspicuous.
The usually plump lips now cracked, no amount of lip balm seemed to help.
Yelyu Lie was heartbroken.
Heartbroken to the point where every glance at her felt suffocating.
Yet she herself seemed totally oblivious.
Whenever he brought up the topic of losing the baby, she would threaten him using the Storage Ring Space.
Yelyu Lie was terrified!
He worried that in that place where no one knew, no one could go, she would be even more helpless, with not even one person to care for her.
He prepared everything needed after losing a baby, even asking around how a man could utterly... utterly prevent future troubles.
Let it be.
Let the child go.
He only needed her for his entire life, that was enough.
But the premise was, he couldn’t harm her.
Hence, he had to remove the root cause from himself permanently.
On this day, he went out early and returned at noon, holding a bunch of items.
Yet looking at the little wife lying on the bed, his heart sank.
She was even more wilted than yesterday!
If it continues like this...
Yelyu Lie dared not imagine.
He finally brought over a bowl of chicken porridge, cautiously coming to the bedside, his eyes red yet trying hard to restrain, "Nuannuan, have some food first."
Yun Chunnuan lay on the bed, smelling the chicken porridge, her brows slightly furrowed, "I won’t eat, it has a strange taste."
Yelyu Lie’s gaze grew dark, his trembling hand holding the porridge.
"Please eat a little, just half a bowl. Not eating continuously is bad for the one in your belly..."
Yun Chunnuan blinked, looked at the porridge, then at the unusually solemn expression, the gaze even evasive of the man.
Suddenly, tears fell like rain, "Husband, can’t you truly tolerate this child?"
Yelyu Lie’s hand trembled nearly unable to hold the porridge, "Wife, should we eat first, then figure out whether we want the baby?"
"No!"
Her withered hand suddenly reached out from under the covers, directly overturning the bowl of porridge in his hand.
The bowl of thin porridge, mixed with minced meat, flew into the air, scattered across the bed, shattered everywhere.
Yelyu Lie’s heart shattered into pieces along with it.
He couldn’t understand, why when she first found out she was pregnant, she was hesitating, afraid.
Why when she knew the fetus was abnormal, she became so stubborn?!
Rage burned in his heart, he struggled to restrain himself, couldn’t scream, couldn’t lose his temper with her.
He took the bronze mirror, placing it in front of her, letting her see her own appearance after not looking in the mirror for days.
"It’s only been seven days! Seven days! This thing has already tormented you into what kind of state? Have you thought about what you’d be like a month later?! Other women carry the baby for ten months, you might be four, five months, or even sooner!
I am not the vampire you said! I don’t have the power to let you die and come back to life!
Yun Chunnuan! Open your eyes and look at me! If because of this thing, you... you leave! What am I supposed to do? How can I find you in this vast world!"
