Wang Hu blinked repeatedly, taking a long time to snap out of his daze. He frowned and began to carefully recall the strange things that had happened along the way, especially her recent retching.
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. Then he remembered that she had gone to the hospital alone, and in the middle of the night, instead of going home, she had come here to book a room... Combining all these signs, Wang Hu had a rough idea in his mind.
Finally realizing everything, Wang Hu stood there dumbfounded as if struck by lightning. Then, trembling, he pointed to himself, his face filled with unbelievable joy: "Could it be... so it's me, I'm going to be a father?"
Yu Lili had been watching Wang Hu closely, and seeing his reaction, her anxiety instantly subsided. She had been worried that Wang Hu would shirk responsibility for the accident, but seeing his ecstatic expression, she knew her worries were completely unnecessary.
After receiving Yu Lili's affirmative nod, Wang Hu could no longer contain his joy and excitement. He hugged her tightly and, like a child, spun around the room with boundless joy. At the same time, he kept bursting into hearty laughter: "Hahaha, this is wonderful! I'm going to be a dad!"
However, the saying "extreme joy begets sorrow" seems to have a certain magical power. Just as Wang Hu was immersed in the immense happiness of becoming a father, he suddenly seemed to realize something important, abruptly stopped, and quickly and carefully put Yu Lili down.
He looked extremely nervous, his hands unconsciously twisting the hem of his clothes as he stammered, "Oh dear! I'm so excited! Will this be bad for the baby? I hope nothing bad happens!" With that, he eagerly bent down and gently pressed his ear against Lili's belly, hoping to hear the slightest movement from the little life inside her.
Yu Lili stretched out her finger and gently tapped his head, saying reproachfully, "Are you silly? The baby is probably only the size of a fingertip right now!" Wang Hu scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, revealing an awkward smile, and made two simple "hehe" sounds.
At this moment, Yu Lili suddenly asked, "Don't you have any doubts at all? What if this child is my husband's?" Wang Hu was caught off guard by this sudden question, his mouth agape, only managing to utter a surprised "Huh?"
This really stumped Wang Hu. He instantly became extremely embarrassed, standing frozen in place as if under a spell. Fortunately, Wang Hu reacted quickly, his mind racing, and he soon came up with a solution.
Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he threw the question back at Yu Lili, saying, "But when I said this child was mine, you nodded in agreement, didn't you? So, you wouldn't lie to me, would you?" After saying that, Wang Hu looked at Yu Lili with a nervous expression, his eyes fixed on her, anxiously awaiting her answer.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and the air became unusually heavy. The instant Yu Lili spoke, Wang Hu felt his heart leap into his throat.
However, when he heard Yu Lili say, "My husband and I haven't had sex for two months, and this baby is only four weeks along. Based on the timeline, it should be yours," his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, immediately settled down.
Wang Hu breathed a long sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said, "As long as it's mine, that's fine. Oh dear, that really scared me to death!" A complex expression of joy and relief appeared on his face.
Wang Hu asked with concern, "You came out alone today and don't plan to go home. Did your husband notice something amiss?"
Yu Lili's face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were dull and lifeless. She slowly said, "Just two days ago, I suddenly felt nauseous and dry heaved, so I went to buy a pregnancy test to check the situation. Who would have thought that he would find out by accident?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Hu was immediately alarmed and hurriedly asked, "Oh? What should we do! What are you planning to do next?"
At this moment, Yu Lili looked heartbroken, tears welling up in her eyes. It turned out that she had come to the riverbank today with the genuine intention of jumping in. Before that, she had called her ex-husband, hoping to see her long-missed child. However, to her utter surprise, she heard her child verbally abusing her on the other end of the line.
In an instant, Yu Lili felt utterly hopeless, and the phone she was clutching tightly slipped from her hand and fell into the river due to her overwhelming grief. If Wang Hu hadn't arrived just in time, she probably would have jumped into the river without hesitation to end her painful life.
After calming herself down a bit, Yu Lili took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone, "My original idea was simple: since things had developed to this point, I would simply cut off all ties with you and never have anything to do with you again. But things didn't go as planned, and I ended up getting pregnant at this time. Now I'm divorced, but that heartless man won't even let me see the child."
As she spoke, Yu Lili slowly stood up, her gaze fixed on Wang Hu, as if she had placed all her hopes and expectations on the man before her: "Things have come to this point, and now I have nothing left but you. So, tell me, how do you plan to settle things for me and the child in my womb?"
