"What if we really lose the child?" she couldn’t help but hypothesize again.
Gu Yixuan’s eyes darkened with a shadow, and his voice grew sharper by several degrees, "Whoever harms the child, I won’t let them off."
He added another sentence, "Likewise, if I hurt him myself, I won’t forgive myself either."
His emotions were too intense.
Whatever he was dedicated to, he would protect with his own life.
Mo Ran was a bit scared by him and patted the back of his hand, "Don’t be , and don’t blame yourself too much. The child is okay now, isn’t he?"
Gu Yixuan got up and leaned over her head, carefully embracing her and whispering, "Ranran, I’m sorry."
"It’s okay, really, it is." His self-blame made Mo Ran feel very heartbroken.
She hugged him back, gently stroking his back, hoping to offer him some comfort.
"Just thinking about the possibility of the child being gone makes me very upset," Gu Yixuan said in a deep voice, a hint of fear mixing into his tone.
This was the first time he showed his vulnerable side in front of Mo Ran.
Mo Ran felt somewhat pleased inside; Gu Yixuan was starting to reveal different sides of himself to her.
The closer the relationship, the more one understands the other’s strengths and weaknesses.
Their relationship was gradually progressing, which meant they were beginning to treat each other as a part of their lives.
Mo Ran really wanted to tell him, if the child were gone, they could have a second one, a third one.
There was no need to be so attached to this one.
But she worried that saying this might upset him. She also felt ashamed, as a mother, to love their child less deeply than Gu Yixuan did.
Not knowing how to comfort him, Mo Ran could only hold him, providing him warmth.
Unknowingly, she fell asleep, and when she awoke, it was already evening, and Gu Yixuan was sitting on the couch in the hospital room, wearing a thick coat.
On his knees was a laptop, surrounded by a scatter of documents. This text is hosted at novelFirｅ.net
They say a man who is focused is the most attractive, and watching Gu Yixuan work earnestly, Mo Ran indeed found him very charming.
Seeing her awake, he put down the computer and walked over to sit by the bed.
"Are you hungry? Grandma made chicken soup and tasty food. I’ve kept it warm for you, just waiting for you to wake up and eat."
"Mm, I’m a little hungry," Mo Ran nodded.
Gu Yixuan helped her sit up, letting her lean against his chest.
He made a phone call and Grandma came in, carrying a three-layered insulated lunch box into the hospital room soon after.
