Because having Xiaocong is enough for them.
He thought he was the only one who noticed her condition, but she did too.
Lin Xinlan continued, "I thought it would be difficult to have another child for you in this lifetime. Who would have thought that when Xiaocong disappeared, I got pregnant. So, I thought, this child is a gift from God, and we can’t abandon him."
She paused, then said with difficulty, "If Xiaocong doesn’t come back... Xiaotian will take his place and be by our side. Perhaps, he will be the only child of the Rong Family..."
"Xinlan!" Rong Shaoze angrily interrupted her, displeased, "Xiaocong will definitely come back. You are his mother, how can you not hope for his return?!"
Lin Xinlan’s heart was torn with pain, and she said painfully, "I’m the one who wants him back the most. He’s my son, how could I possibly curse him to die? But Rong Shaoze, can we really be sure he will come back? So I’ve prepared for the worst. If Xiaocong doesn’t come back, this child must be born! No matter what, we need this child!"
"And what about you?" Rong Shaoze looked at her, his eyes full of pain, "Do you plan to give birth and then abandon us? Are you willing to leave me?"
The word ’die’ sharply pierced Rong Shaoze’s heart.
"You certainly won’t die, because I will not allow you to risk your life!" He stood up, speaking coldly, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
Lin Xinlan panicked and stood up as well, "What are you going to do?"
Rong Shaoze decided not to waste words with her. He said blandly, "I will ask Tao Hua to arrange the surgery. You will have surgery in a few days. This child cannot be kept!"
Lin Xinlan was shocked by his ruthlessness.
Her face turned pale as she asked incredulously, "You really have the heart to kill Xiaotian?"
"He’s not meant for this world!"
"Rong Shaoze, he’s your child! He is just like Xiaocong, both are your children..."
A cold smile flashed in the man’s eyes, "If I, Rong Shaoze, wanted children, I could have as many as I want. His existence means something to me only because he is our child. If he weren’t our child, he wouldn’t even have had the chance to be born!"
"But he is here now. He is your child. Don’t you have any paternal love for him?" Lin Xinlan loudly questioned him.
Rong Shaoze’s gaze was very dark, "Xinlan, do you think I have deep feelings for my offspring? I am a person with indifferent emotions. It was only after meeting you that I fell into love without escape. In this world, only you matter to me. No one else does, don’t you understand?"
Lin Xinlan looked at him in shock, unable to say a word.
The man sneered, "That’s right, I am a cold-blooded person. For my parents, I only need to fulfill my duties as a child. For my children, I only need to fulfill my responsibilities. But I won’t give them an ounce of extra emotion. Only you are beyond my control. It is only for you that I will break my limits again and again, and never be able to treat you rationally."
"Now you should understand how insignificant children are to me compared to you, right?"
