After some persuasion from the doctor, Hsien Ming-yu began to waver.
If asked how much affection he could possibly have for that unborn child, the answer would certainly be hesitant.
He couldn't deny his selfishness; from the moment he learned of her pregnancy until now, he had never been a good or competent father.
But Bai Xiaoruo is different.
Over the past few months, Xuan Mingyu often stroked Bai Xiaoruo's belly with his hand, watching her flat little belly grow bigger day by day, until it became a large half-sphere.
Her body grew heavier day by day. Because of her pregnancy, she suffered a lot. She vomited everything she ate, even when she woke up. She would even vomit in the middle of the night. Just when she finally regained her appetite, she started experiencing backaches and leg cramps...
Despite enduring so much hardship, she never uttered a single complaint about not wanting the child.
Xian Mingyu saw how much she loved the child and how much she looked forward to his birth.
Several times when they went shopping together, Bai Xiaoruo couldn't resist going into baby stores to take a look. She couldn't help but touch the baby toys, cute little clothes, and shoes, and would always smile and say to him, "Honey, when the baby comes out, shall we buy him some toys to play with?"
She was young, but this unexpected child made her stronger.
She was ready to be a mother, and sometimes she even acted more mature than him.
She knew he didn't like children, and she didn't force him to. She never argued with him about how painful it was to be pregnant, and always endured it silently on her own, only telling him when the pain became unbearable.
She diligently does her homework every day, reading all sorts of parenting manuals, and counting down the days until her baby's birth.
Even just before she was about to enter the operating room, she was crying and begging him to save the baby, otherwise she would rather not live alone.
She was so weak, yet she used all her strength to tell him to put the child first.
But little girl, how can I bear to part with you?
How could you say such heartless things? Have you made any plans for me?
I can have more children, and even if I can never have a child with you, I will have no regrets.
All I want is you, all I want is for you to be safe and well, and for you to stay by my side.
Even if... you find out the truth and wake up, you'll hate me.
Xuan Mingyu made up his mind, picked up a pen and paper, and signed his name in a flamboyant handwriting.
“I don’t want children, I just want Bai Xiaoruo, I want a Bai Xiaoruo who is alive and well and standing in front of me again.”
