Chapter 1028: The lady’s child is...
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Before she could reply to his questions, the operating room’s door opened...
The doctor in a white gown walked out of it slowly.
Although it was a minor surgery which did not last long, they still looked tired.
“Doc, is my friend alright?”
“Doc, the child—is the child alright?”
The pair seemed to be anxious about two different things.
As the woman’s thoughts were all on her best friend, she did not notice the oddity in his statement.
At these two different questions, the doctor removed his mask.
“The patient’s condition is now stable, but...” The doctor looked at the man with pity and sympathy.
“But what?” The pair spoke at the same time.
“The lady’s child may be lost.” The doctor then lightly patted the dazed man on his shoulder comfortingly. “You guys are still young. There’s still hope of conceiving a child again.”
“The child... may be lost...”
The man’s hands balled up into fists and he looked as if he were spewing fire in an attempt to burn everything in his path.
“QIAO JINGYUN!”
Seeing him full of fury, Tang Xiaoyu shot him a weird look.
Have I told him the reason Pei Ge was rushed into the ER? In any case, why is he so agitated the moment he heard that her child may be lost?
Nonetheless, the woman could not be bothered with other matters right now and ignored the man when he ran off and walked to her best friend, who was being wheeled out of the operating room by the nurse.
Her heart ached when she saw her best friend lying on the gurney with a pale face.
“Ge Ge... are you alright?”
She was really shocked to see her awake and staring into space blankly.
Her calls, though, did not elicit any response from the latter.
Lying on the gurney, Pei Ge appeared dead to the world as not a sound came from her mouth.
She was truly shocked to see her like this.
“Say something, Ge Ge! Don’t scare me like this...”
She tugged at her arm but there was no response from the latter still.
“This missy, don’t be too worried... The patient’s mental state is currently unstable. Wait a bit; she’ll soon get back to herself...”
The nurse could not stand it any longer and softly consoled her.
At the nurse’s words, her lips twitched, and eventually, she stopped speaking to her best friend.
She settled herself with holding her hand tightly and accompanying her quietly as they returned to the ward.
“If there’s anything, just press the alarm by the bedside. Our nurses are on shifts, twenty-four hours.”
The nurse reminded her before leaving the ward.
Once the nurse was gone, she looked at her best friend lying on the gurney without moving an inch. She let out a heavy sigh.
“Ge Ge... don’t be upset; you still have me by your side...” Her hands tightly wrapped around her best friend’s as she earnestly talked to her. “Don’t be sad over things that aren’t worth it. On the positive side, you still have a long way to go. You’ll meet someone whom you can love and loves you back. When the time comes—”
Before she could finish comforting her best friend, the latter interrupted.
“Child... I only want my child.”
All of a sudden, the latter’s eyes welled up with tears as she exuded utter sadness.
When she saw her like this, Tang Xiaoyu also sniffed, her eyes turning red.
“The child... perhaps isn’t meant for you...”
She struggled to say that as she knew that the other really liked children. Therefore, despite the child having a father like that...
Her best friend still wanted to keep it.
Alas, right now...
“No! How could that be? T-The baby is still in my stomach!”
Perhaps, her words had agitated Pei Ge as the dazed woman now wore a frenzied look.
Her palms were glued to her flat stomach and agitation was written all over her face.
“The child hasn’t left me. He’s obediently staying by my side...”
Tang Xiaoyu was shocked to see her behaving like this.
“Are you alright?” She looked anxiously at her best friend, who did not seem right in the head, and worry filled her heart. “The child is gone, but don’t worry; you’ll have more in the future. The doctor said that, if you recuperate well, you still have hope of having children in the future.”
“No, my child is still here—it’s still here! I can feel the life inside me.”
Lifting her head, Pei Ge finally snapped out of her dazed state and was filled with happiness as well as excitement.
However, seeing her like this, the other only felt inexplicable sorrow.
“Ge Ge...”
“Xiaoyu, believe me; my child, it hasn’t left me...”
The woman then lowered her head and looked at her stomach before breaking into a light smile.
“Pull yourself together, my friend; the child is already... gone.” She could not help but cry at the sight of her best friend behaving erratically. “The child is really gone...”
Her cries did not stir the other’s emotions. Listening to the former say that her child was gone, she did not show any sadness and, instead, spoke calmly. “Xiaoyu, the doctor indeed said that my child may be lost, but I didn’t have it aborted. During the operation, the doctor asked me if I wanted it to be aborted, but I rejected him then.”
Initially, when she left the operating room, she felt sorrowful for being unable to keep the child despite not having an abortion, but then she clearly felt... the little life growing strongly in her stomach moments ago...
