Chapter 424: Ye Qilan, I killed your child with my own hands!_1
The next moment, Su Hongxing broke away from Ye Qilan and bolted once more, this time in the direction of the Red Building.
“Su Hongxing, stop!!” Ye Qilan was half a beat slow to react, chasing after Su Hongxing, trying to stop her.
But Su Hongxing ran full tilt towards the Red Building, single-mindedly aiming for its rooftop.
As to why she wanted to go there, she didn’t even know.
Maybe she ran too fast, she felt discomfort in her stomach, but she didn’t slow down and quickly reached the rooftop.
By the time Ye Qilan reached the rooftop, he saw Su Hongxing standing on the very edge as if with one step forward, she would jump off.
His heart almost stopped, his voice rasping, “Su Hongxing, come to me…”
This scene seemed to merge with the one from his dreams, causing his heart to beat rapidly in fear.
Yet Su Hongxing stood still, unmovable, gazing intently in the direction of the apricot forest.
If the apricot forest were to bloom, it would make for the most beautiful view.
Yet no matter how beautiful or wonderful something is, it always has its day of decline.
A flower will blossom and then wither, just as fate can bring two people together and also tear them apart. Wasn’t that so?
Just like her child who was fated to be with her, yet not fated at the same time.
“Su Hongxing, I’ll give you anything you want. You want a man? I can find one for you right now. Listen to me, come to my side…” Ye Qilan dared not raise his voice, afraid of startling Su Hongxing.
She only wanted ten men. He could give her that.
Knowing full well she was mentally unstable, why couldn’t he go easier on her?
“Ye Qilan, you’re lying again, I won’t believe you anymore.” Su Hongxing looked down at the view beneath her feet.
Perhaps with one step into the void, everything would be over.
Ye Qilan didn’t know how to respond. After all, she had said that she wouldn’t believe him anymore.
He didn’t dare move or get closer, instead, he listened as Su Hongxing spoke softly, “About the child, don’t you have any questions for me?”
Ye Qilan was smart. Even if he initially failed to comprehend certain matters, given enough time, he should have been able to piece some clues together from the various details.
Avoiding the matter of the child didn’t mean it never happened.
“No.” Ye Qilan responded without hesitation.
The past was the past, he didn’t want to investigate it further.
“The child was killed by my own hands. I was drinking a medicinal concoction with live blood every day. I was slowly killing your child, day by day. You should remember, before everything happened, I didn’t look well. You asked me more than once if I wanted to see a doctor, and so did Qingyin. I’ve wanted to kill this child a long time ago. How could I possibly go to see a doctor then?” Su Hongxing said looking at her own hands, “With these hands of mine, I killed your child.”
Ye Qilan should have figured it out by now, right?
She didn’t want to keep the child. She had countless opportunities to confess to him, and countless opportunities to seek medical help, but she still went through to the bitter end.
Xiao Ji also wanted to terminate her pregnancy, along with others, even the mother herself who gave birth to him, didn’t want him to come into this world.
Ye Qilan inhaled deeply, watching Su Hongxing from a distance, softly saying, “You’re not well, don’t entertain wild thoughts…”
“Ye Qilan, didn’t you hear? I murdered your child with my own hands!!” Su Hongxing gave Ye Qilan an eerie smile, “I’m so glad that I’ve lost my womb. From now on, I’ll never have to fear carrying your bastard child!”
