Mo Ran lowered his gaze, concealing the pain in his eyes.
"The child was yours."
The man’s brows furrowed deeply. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel(ꜰ)ire.net
"Mine? If it were my child, I would never have allowed anything to happen to him."
He had never received love from a father or a mother since he was a child.
He swore that if he ever had a child, he would make sure they came into the world and give them the best of everything, to ensure they had a happy childhood.
Mo Ran’s body trembled slightly as he spoke in a low voice, "You’re right, you indeed liked him a lot and didn’t want anything to happen to him. It was me... it was I who caused his death..."
"Why?" The man stepped forward, lifting her chin.
Seeing the tears in her eyes, Gu Yixuan seemed to understand something.
"Was it an accident?"
Mo Ran shook her head.
"Then was it a problem with your health?"
"Stop asking for now, I’ll give you something tomorrow, and then you’ll understand everything."
She had already recorded that tape, which was all about their past. As long as he listened to it, he would understand everything.
Gu Yixuan did not press her further and sat down beside her, saying, "Alright. It’s getting late; you should rest."
After all, the child was no more; it made no sense to ask any more questions.
"I’ll stay here with you."
Mo Ran opened her mouth, wanting to ask him to go back, but craving the time spent with him, she did not speak.
She remembered, back when she had the flu and fever, going to the hospital to get an IV drip, he had also sat by her side and accompanied her all night.
And then there was the time she nearly had a miscarriage, he had stayed in the hospital with her for a night as well.
Having him by her side while she was sick in the hospital felt so good.
Mo Ran soon fell into a deep sleep, but Gu Yixuan couldn’t sleep.
He looked at Mo Ran’s face, feeling incredibly conflicted and struggling inside.
Should he allow himself to fall in love with her, to let her affect everything about him?
If he let himself go, she would become his fatal weakness; if anything ever happened to her, he would definitely not be able to withstand the blow.
But if he didn’t, his heart suffered; he always wanted to see her, to care about everything related to her.
He also didn’t want to watch her marry someone else; if that happened, he was certain he would commit murder.
Should he fall in love with her? And her, was she really worth falling in love with?
Gu Yixuan stretched out his hand to caress her face, his eyes filled with tremendous struggle, "How did I fall in love with you before? Why did I have to fall in love with you?"
