"I did want to find my sister, but I didn’t carry a phone, and she changed her number, which I haven’t memorized yet. The situation was urgent at the time, and if Tang Song didn’t receive a blood transfusion immediately, he would die—there was simply no time to delay..."
She contemplated all possibilities, but she still didn’t gamble.
What if, just one minute late, Tang Song couldn’t be saved? What then?
She didn’t want to live a life full of regret and guilt, even though she knew that donating blood would endanger the baby.
Gu Yixuan’s gaze remained cold, and after staring at her for a while, he asked calmly, "I just want to ask you one thing, did you know that donating blood would lead to a miscarriage?"
Mo Ran’s pupils dilated sharply, and her hand subconsciously loosened his. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Gu Yixuan already knew the answer and scoffed in cold rage.
"Good, you knew. You knew that saving him would cost you the child, but you did it anyway. Mo Ran, I really underestimated you; you are such a heartless woman!"
Tears filled Mo Ran’s eyes as she shook her head and choked out, "But if I didn’t save him, Tang Song would have died..."
"Whether he lives or dies is none of my business! I only care about my child; I only know that in saving him, you killed my child!" Gu Yixuan roared softly, his voice seething with tremendous anger and resentment.
His heart ached, he was saddened, disappointed.
How could Mo Ran kill his child to save another man? Without the baby, what bond did they have left between them?
Taking a step back, Mo Ran knew that in Gu Yixuan’s heart, she was already blamed for everything.
Let him blame her if he wants, do whatever he wants with her; after all, it no longer mattered to her.
She didn’t want it to be this way either, her heart ached more than anyone’s, but she just couldn’t bear not to save Tang Song.
Why couldn’t anyone understand her just a little bit...
Free from the sadness and guilt of before, Mo Ran regained her composure and said indifferently,
"Think what you want, blame me if you will, hate me if you must, do whatever you like. Gu Yixuan, since the baby is gone, and I have hurt you, then you shouldn’t see me anymore, let me disappear from your life."
Not seeing him, perhaps the heart wouldn’t hurt so much.
Damage had been done, they couldn’t possibly be together without lingering issues.
She would carry all the pain and self-reproach, and live on alone.
After one last glance at him, Mo Ran lowered her eyes dimly and turned away to leave.
