Chapter 236: Chapter 236 This Child Cannot Stay
Xia Xinyu donned her mask, clutched the paper in her hand as she walked out of the doctor’s office, palms damp with sweat.
As she looked at the words “7 weeks pregnant” on the paper, her throat tightened.
Yet, thinking of the fate that awaited this child, she felt as if her heart was being crushed by a powerful grip, the pain so intense she struggled to breathe!
She had realized something was off with her a few days earlier.
With a mix of excitement and fear, she had bought a pregnancy test and, unsurprisingly, it had confirmed her suspicions!
At that moment, her tears had flowed freely, and she had barely been able to wait to call He Yizheng, eagerly reporting the good news to him!
She knew that their relationship could not be made public, so she had already decided that she would tell her parents that she didn’t know who the father of the child was, but because of her poor health, an abortion could mean she would never be able to conceive again—surely her parents would agree. When Yizheng’s wish was fulfilled one day, she would marry him with the child…
However, before she could even finish her plans, He Yizheng’s voice came coldly and with a hint of disgust over the phone, “Xinyu, you absolutely cannot keep this child! Get rid of it immediately!”
It was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her, extinguishing Xia Xinyu’s passion and anticipation.
She tried to negotiate, “…Yizheng, rest assured, I will never let anyone know that you are the father of the child…”
“Xia Xinyu,” He Yizheng said coldly, “if you insist on keeping this child, our relationship is over.”
That sentence struck Xia Xinyu’s Achilles’ heel!
Tears streamed down her face as she choked out a reply, “I understand…”
Perhaps realizing that his tone was too harsh, He Yizheng softened his voice, “Xinyu, this child has come at a bad time. When we are together later, we will certainly have our own children.”
And now, as she looked at the paper clearly indicating the existence of the child, Xia Xinyu suddenly found it hard to breathe.
If she terminated this pregnancy, could she really… still have her own children? A child that was a product of her and Yizheng?
That man, despite the countless sweet nothings he had whispered to her, Xia Xinyu knew all too well how cold and hard his heart was.
Xia Xinyu clenched the damp test result tightly, waiting in line to ascend the operating table, to kill this child…
She closed her eyes in despair.
“If you can’t bear to part with it, why not keep it?” a calm female voice suddenly sounded by her ear.
Xia Xinyu’s eyes snapped open, turning to see who it was!
Her pupils contracted sharply!
Su Zixi’s gaze swept over the paper in her hand, then settled calmly on her face.
Xia Xinyu exhaled deeply. She knew her shock and fear had given her away, making the mask irrelevant.
She removed her mask, and said coldly, “What’s it to you?”
Just now, as she had exited the elevator, she indeed saw a woman resembling Su Zixi, but at the time she thought it was just someone who looked similar. Little did she know it was actually her.
Wasn’t she already the esteemed Young Mistress of the He Family? Why was she here alone?
“Is it because the father of the child doesn’t want it?” Su Zixi speculated.
Xia Xinyu’s complexion turned pale, then she scoffed coldly, “Like I said, it’s none of your business!”
