Chapter 245 I promise I won't separate you and your child.
"I'm so sorry that I didn't recognize the baby as my own flesh and blood sooner, causing you and your child to suffer so much!"
Although he felt wronged, Mortilan, seeing the tears glistening in the woman's eyes, apologized again without any principles.
"I don't blame you, really, I'm only grateful to you! In this wasteland, which is a desolate wasteland full of despair, I only realized the meaning of life after I met Achen."
He is the light in my life, illuminating my desolation and warming my bone-chilling cold.
So please don't separate the baby from me, okay?
When Zuo Shan said those words, tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string. This time, they were genuine and unadulterated.
The helplessness and fear she felt before were far beyond her capacity to bear; everything felt like a gamble.
She could only gamble that the Lan Dun family had some principles and wouldn't forcibly take the baby away and wipe her and her family out.
She herself was too weak and had no ability to resist this powerful family.
"Okay, I promise I won't let you and your child be separated." Mortilan was deeply hurt by her grievances and vulnerability, and couldn't help but reach out and put his arm around her shoulder to comfort her.
This was their first real close encounter, and the first time he wanted to cherish her with tenderness and dispel her fear and anxiety.
The man's cool, refreshing scent brushed against her cheek, and Zuo Shan was momentarily dazed. She bit her lip hard, letting the pain remind her to stay rational.
The man before her was undeniably irresistible; his looks were otherworldly, his combat prowess formidable, and his family background was unparalleled.
Such a man deserves to stand shoulder to shoulder with the rich, beautiful, and powerful. What virtue or ability does she possess to be worthy of growing old with him?
The only bond between her and him was Ah Chen, but she knew very well that a child alone was not enough to sustain their relationship.
Moreover, so far, the only person she has a good impression of is Xiaobai; as for the Mordilan Shield, she only feels awe.
Admittedly, marrying him or becoming his woman would be the easiest way to avoid being separated from her baby, but she was unwilling to compromise herself like that.
She could easily imagine that after he married her on a whim, countless obstacles awaited them. Two people of unequal status and ability would not have a good outcome no matter how hard they tried.
But she can't just kick him out now, because she doesn't have that power.
Thinking of this, she subtly withdrew from his embrace.
This was the first time Mortilan had been so intimate with a woman; the faint fragrance emanating from her body filled his nostrils, making his heart pound.
Those thin lips, as vibrant as rose petals, were like a poisonous flower, exuding a deadly allure, seemingly waiting for him to pluck them.
He couldn't help but slowly lower his head, getting closer and closer to it.
Just then, he felt his arms go empty; she had already distanced herself from him.
He felt a mix of shame and inexplicable anger, and couldn't help but stretch out his long arm and pull her into his embrace once more.
Previously, to comfort her, he had put his arm around her shoulders; this time, he put his arm around her waist and looked her in the eye at close range.
"Now, you should tell me, exactly when did we conceive Achen together?" He stared intently at her, asking slowly, word by word.
Zuo Shan knew that denying that part now was pointless. Since he already knew that A Chen was his own flesh and blood, he could pinpoint the exact location of their first and only time together based on the timeline.
She then objectively recounted that part of the original owner's memories, without embellishing or omitting any small details.
"So, when I was seriously injured and unconscious, I encountered a mutated musk deer in its mating season, and we were both affected by its irresistible aphrodisiac scent."
And you dragged me, a nobody, into the bushes and had sex with me without my consent.
"That's where Achen Baby comes from, right?" Mordiland said through gritted teeth.
"Yes, but I swear, I really didn't mean to bully you! I already had a boyfriend at the time, and we were getting married soon."
"I didn't mean to, I just didn't want those scavenging old men to assault me." Zuo Shan apologized while crying out that he was innocent.
This is clearly the original owner's fault, so why should she, the newcomer, have to take the blame?
But she dared not reveal her identity, for that was a matter of life and death. Compared to her life, she was willing to take on any burden.
"Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you! You didn't want to be violated by a lecherous old man, so you violated me, a seriously injured and unconscious passerby?" Mortilan said, staring intently at her.
"I'm sorry! I'm really, really sorry! This was definitely my fault. Tell me, how do you want me to make it up to you? As long as I can do it, I'll do it without hesitation! I swear!" Zuo Shan raised his hand and swore.
"Give me Ah Chen, would you be willing?" Modi Lan Dun sneered.
"No! Change your condition, really, Ah Chen is my life! I'll die if I lose Ah Chen!"
"I made a mistake, I'm a date rape offender, but I don't deserve to die, right?" Zuo Shan was really on the verge of tears this time.
"Okay, I can leave Achen behind. But I haven't figured out how to compensate him yet."
"But remember, you owe me a promise, and when I ask you to keep that promise in the future, you must agree unconditionally!" Mortilan said.
"I promise, I promise!" Zuo Shan hurriedly said.
He was puzzled as to why he had no intimate memories of them at all, only to find out that it was all the work of this audacious woman who had done it while he was unconscious!
If he had learned of this before he developed feelings for her, he wasn't sure he would have done something like abandoning the mother and keeping the child!
However, now that he's a novice, he's unknowingly developed feelings for her, and no matter how angry he is, he can't possibly do anything to her.
The atmosphere in the room was too oppressive, so Zuo Shan carefully changed the subject, saying, "Baby hasn't seen me for so long, he must be worried sick and crying!"
Is the baby in a hurry? No! The baby is having a blast!
Mina and Matt, who were temporarily assigned to play with the baby, are currently racking their brains to keep the baby happy.
Matt used her mental power to weave an elastic net, and Mina pinched out little whirlpools to play soccer with the baby.
She tossed a little ball of air over, and Matt bounced it up. When it reached the right height, the baby stretched out his little foot and kicked it out, and so on.
Most babies don't maintain a lasting interest in a particular game, but Achen is different; he enjoys it immensely.
At first, I kicked with one little foot, then I switched to kicking with both feet, and later I switched to slapping with my hands.
Of course, to switch the limbs used to kick the ball, he also needs to use his mental power to control the wind direction of the ankle ring. For a baby, it is difficult to complete such a complex command.
He would try again after each failure until he had fully mastered the skill.
Matt and Mina were amazed by the baby's intelligence and persistence. Once he had fully mastered the game, they would develop a new one.
Children in the wasteland have limited games to play, and families with the means mostly train their children's fighting skills from a very young age.
Combat skills, on the other hand, begin directly with hunting low-level mutated beasts.
Mina then used a wisp of wind to condense a first-tier mutated rat and commanded it to pounce on the baby, while Matt demonstrated to him how to use mental power to accelerate the movement of the body.
Then, he condensed a small sword of spiritual energy and used it to kill the first-tier mutated rat.
My baby really loves this game. Compared to kicking the wind ball, directly swatting down the first-tier mutated rats is much more fun.
It was formed from a wisp of wind, so there was no bloodshed or agonizing screams when it was killed. The baby was having a great time and had long forgotten about its poor mother.
