Chapter 123 I'm sorry

That day at the hospital, he called his friend in Italy, simply asking him to look up something that had happened three years ago.

Later, that responsible Italian friend found the original medical records and abortion records and sent them to him.

When he reviewed the records, he realized that he had overlooked a very important piece of information.

While at the hospital, he didn't suspect why Bai Zhenzhu waited more than three months to have an abortion. Given Bai Zhenzhu's personality, it was impossible for her to delay that long.

The longer it is delayed, the greater the damage to the body.

Later he found out that it was because Bai Zhenzhu had an ectopic pregnancy and she had to have an abortion.

She knew she was pregnant when she was a little over a month along, but she delayed having an abortion until she was more than three months along, and went to several hospitals to confirm that it was an ectopic pregnancy.

This can only mean one thing: Bai Zhenzhu simply couldn't bear to part with this child.

She would rather bear the greater risk to her body as the pregnancy progresses than have an abortion.

Upon hearing the news, Shi Jin had only one thought: he felt sorry for her.

Then came a wave of deep regret and guilt.

He remembered how hurtful and awful the words he had spoken were.

He didn't seem to understand her at all.

He only saw her bad side, but Bai Zhenzhu was just deliberately showing her bad side to protect her loveless child!

"Shi Jin! What exactly happened? Say something!"

Intrigued, Qin Shen watched Shi Jin deep in thought and forgot all about being hit.

Shi Jin suddenly snapped back to reality, feeling as if a tremendous force was squeezing his chest, making him feel suffocated.

He ignored Qin Shen and left the restroom with unsteady steps.

...

After Shi Jin left with Qin Shen.

Su Yizheng then pulled Bai Zhenzhu to the dining area on the side.

He looked at Bai Zhenzhu with doting eyes, and thoughtfully placed a blueberry cake on her plate, as if he didn't care at all about the incident that had just occurred.

"Senior, Shi Jin and I are in the past. Now that I've decided to marry you, I won't think about anything else."

Seeing that Su Yizheng hadn't spoken for a while, Bai Zhenzhu took the initiative to start talking about Shi Jin.

"Pearl, do you still love him?"

I wonder if Su Yi-jung and Yin Jia-xi conspired together, because they also used the word "still". Did she have shown that she really liked Shi Jin before?

"Senior, I didn't like him three years ago."

"And now?"

Bai Zhenzhu's bright smile froze. She could have easily gotten away with it, but she seemed unwilling to lie anymore.

She fell silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Su Yizheng changed the subject at the right time.

"Pearl, try this strawberry cake again. I just took a bite, and it's very sweet."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled sweetly and replied in a delicate voice, "Thank you, senior~"

After eating for a while, Su Yi-jung was called aside by his good friend to chat.

White Pearl took a glass of champagne from the waiter and drank it.

She had just taken a sip when, for some inconsiderate person, she bumped into from behind, and the champagne accidentally spilled onto her dress.

She glanced behind her speechlessly, but the person was already gone.

She had no choice but to lift her skirt and go to the bathroom to tidy herself up.

Ten minutes later, Bai Zhenzhu came out of the bathroom.

Just as I rounded the corner, a deep and suppressed voice called out to me.

"White pearl..."

She knew who it was, but she didn't want to turn back.

Keep striding forward.

"White Pearl! Don't go..."

...

This was the most peaceful conversation the two had had since their reunion.

There was no tense standoff, nor any confrontation.

Inside the lounge, Bai Zhenzhu sat on the right side of the sofa, while Shi Jin sat on the left.

One is like a queen on high and mighty, the other is like a naughty child who broke the furniture and bowed his head to admit his mistake.

"Speak quickly, my fiancé will be looking for me soon." Bai Zhenzhu glanced at him impatiently.

Shi Jin's heart was in turmoil as he considered how to begin.

This was the first time he had ever been at a loss for words in front of Bai Zhenzhu.

After a few more seconds of hesitation, Shi Jin finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "Pearl, are you really going to marry him?"

He placed his hands on his knees, clenching them tightly, his palms covered in cold sweat.

He couldn't quite remember what he said to Bai Zhenzhu that night when he was drunk.

Even if he could remember, he wanted to forget it all.

Bai Zhenzhu stretched out her left hand and waved it in front of him. A dazzling diamond ring on her ring finger immediately caught Shi Jin's eye.

He was so nervous that he forgot to breathe.

"See? I have a ring this time. I'm not lying to you, I'm really going to marry my senior."

Shi Jin immediately rushed over to pull the ring off Bai Zhenzhu's finger.

"What are you doing? Shi Jin, let go!"

"Pearl, this ring isn't pretty. Listen to me, take it off." If Bai Zhenzhu wasn't mistaken, Shi Jin seemed to be saying this with a sob in his voice.

White Pearl resisted his touch, her fingers curled tightly, but he seemed to be under a spell, determined to pull her ring off.

Bai Zhenzhu was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped him.

This also completely woke Shi Jin up.

"Shi Jin! This is a ring my fiancé gave me! What right do you have to make me take it off?"

Shi Jin was hit, but he didn't seem angry at all. He just stared at her blankly, looking lost.

They stared at each other for a long time before Shi Jin finally spoke: "Pearl, I'm sorry, I know, I know everything. You didn't have the heart to abort our child, you just had to give him up..."

His eyes were red, his beautiful eyes filled with an intense, unyielding sorrow, and a forlorn smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Bai Zhenzhu really didn't want to recall those painful past events anymore; just thinking about them made her feel so wronged and overwhelmed with emotion.

She pounded on Shi Jin like a madwoman, screaming, "It's all your fault! Why did you have to get me pregnant! But if you did get me pregnant, why did it have to be an ectopic pregnancy! I never expected to be a mother, but she's the person I'm most connected to in this world! I really can't bear it, sob sob... It's all your fault... It's all your fault..."

Finally, Bai Zhenzhu could no longer control her emotions.

Shi Jin pulled her into a tight embrace and said guiltily, "Pearl, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I hurt you, I'm so sorry..."

He didn't know how many times he said sorry, but he knew it was too late.

Bai Zhenzhu suddenly pushed him away, hastily wiping away her tears. Her face was expressionless and cold as she said, "Stop crocodile tears. Do you think you can make yourself feel at ease by saying a few 'I'm sorry'? While I was lying on that cold operating table in Italy, you were back home, whispering sweet nothings to your fiancée. When I called you that night to explain everything, you were still in bed with your fiancée, thoroughly enjoying yourselves. I will never have any expectations of you again. From now on, I will only be Su Yizheng's woman. Please don't come looking for me again!"

After saying that, Bai Zhenzhu stood up and turned to leave.

"Pearl, I love you..."

She paused for less than a second in surprise, but still took a step and left the room.
