"Rong Shaoze, are you crazy!"
"Yes, I’ve gone mad! I’m crazy for you, to the point where there’s no cure."
"But he’s our child!"
"Heh." The man chuckled softly, "I don’t want children, I only want you."
Lin Xinlan felt utterly helpless. She frowned in frustration, thinking it might be best to stop this topic here. If they continued, things would surely get out of hand.
"Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. You and I both need to calm down. Let’s discuss this tomorrow, okay?"
Rong Shaoze pressed his thin lips together, saying nothing.
She stepped forward and held his arm, speaking softly, "Okay, don’t be angry. There’s no problem in this world that can’t be solved. I believe there must be a solution that can save the baby’s life and keep me safe."
"Come with me for a check-up tomorrow," he suddenly said.
Lin Xinlan hesitated but nodded, "Alright."
Only then did the man embrace her, dropping the subject.
The next day, they went to Tao Hua’s hospital for an ultrasound.
Tao Hua said the tumor had grown by nearly a centimeter. Although it had slowed down, it was still growing.
Hearing this, Rong Shaoze naturally became very worried.
Lin Xinlan lightly patted the back of his hand, comforting him instead.
She asked Tao Hua, "Is there any way to inhibit the tumor’s growth and deterioration?"
If such a method existed, it would be the best possible outcome.
Tao Hua said, "There is, but you would need to take medication. However, since you’re pregnant, taking a lot of medication could greatly affect the fetus."
Lin Xinlan fell silent.
Rong Shaoze’s eyes lit up as he held Lin Xinlan’s hand and said earnestly, "Xinlan, don’t you want to keep the baby? Then take the medication. Even if the baby is born with problems, it doesn’t matter. We can take care of him for life."
Lin Xinlan looked at him, speechless.
He truly was desperate to save her.
He could even say such things.
As a parent, who wouldn’t want their child to be healthy? Yet he was actually suggesting making the child sick.
If Xiaotian knew in the future, he would surely hate him.
"No." Lin Xinlan shook her head, "Knowing it would harm the child, how could I take medication? Besides, Xiaocong’s blindness was the result of the medication I took back then. His situation already makes me regretful and guilty enough. I absolutely will not make the same mistake twice."
"This time is different. You have a health issue. You are taking the medication to save both yourself and Xiaotian. When Xiaotian finds out in the future, he won’t blame you. Besides, this is the only way that benefits both. It’s better than giving up on Xiaotian." Rong Shaoze said sincerely.
In his view, this was the best solution, and he was willing to choose it.
Lin Xinlan thought for a moment but still shook her head, "Since I’ve given him life, I must give him a complete and healthy body. I harmed Xiaocong before, I can’t harm Xiaotian now. Anyway, I won’t take the medication!"
She was truly stubborn.
Rong Shaoze and Tao Hua exchanged a look, both showing a trace of helplessness.
"Xinlan." He held her hand, speaking in a low voice, "This is my only concession. If you don’t take the medication, and something happens to you, I’ll kill this child!"
"Rong Shaoze, you’re threatening me again!" Lin Xinlan suddenly became angry.
She shook off his hand, got up, and said unhappily:
