He knew everything about her, and that was exactly why he must push her away.
She had already suffered a lot when she was young. As such, he could not imagine how she would face the feeling of losing him if they got together.
It was his fault.
He should have kept his distance from her right from the start.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he drank too much alcohol that day…
As Tang Yuansi knitted his eyebrows, he snapped back from his happy thoughts of becoming a new father and his expression turned very ugly.
He had already prepared himself mentally and thought that it didn’t matter how much longer he stayed alive, as long as she could start a new life of her own.
Now, however…
This child had appeared too suddenly and had disrupted all of his plans.
He had been indulging in an enormous sense of happiness from the moment he had heard the news and could not think rationally.
He had already forgotten that he did not have much time left.
He had forgotten all that they would have to face if she kept the child…
All of a sudden, Tang Yuansi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
A huge rock seemed to have landed against his chest and he was in such discomfort that he couldn’t breathe. Loosening the grip on her arm, he pressed against his chest.
He endured the pain even when he saw that she was moving her head, she appeared to be on the verge of being woken. He maintained his original position and dared not move a single inch.
By the time she finally entered a deep sleep again, Tang Yuansi’s body had already turned a little stiff.
His face was so pale that not a single trace of blood could be detected.
Gritting his teeth, he gently shifted her head away from his chest before he got off the bed with the last bit of his energy and knelt on the ground with one knee.
Those few simple actions had already left him drenched in perspiration.
He felt around the drawer beside the bed and retrieved a bottle of medication.
He poured out one pill and popped it into his mouth.
By this time, he had no remaining strength to pour himself a cup of water so, he simply chewed the pill in his mouth, and forced it down his throat.
He felt that he had gone so close to the jaws of death after going through an entire night of extreme emotions. After he had swallowed his medicine, he stayed on the ground for an entire hour as he could not get up.
He could only support himself and stand up by holding onto the side of the bed nearly an hour later.
The clothes on him were already drenched with perspiration.
Afraid that she would detect anything, Tang Yuansi retrieved a fresh set of pajamas and only lay back on the bed after taking a shower.
Shangxin had already curled up without him by her side.
As Tang Yuansi lay down, he reached out and hugged her from behind.
He placed his warm palms on her tummy.
With a thin layer of fabric in between, he tried to feel the tenacious tiny life thriving inside her tummy…
Today was indeed the happiest day of his entire life.
He had already started to imagine what the child would look like even though she had only just told him that she was pregnant.
Would the child look more like him or her?
He had even thought, She had not known how to take care of herself when she was young and she loved to eat tidbits too. As such, she could not be in charge of the child’s education since she would surely condone his/her actions.
He had sorted out all his thoughts in just a short night like this, If it was a boy, he would be a strict father.
He would take good care of both his son and her…
If the child was a daughter, then he… would pamper both mother and daughter.
Not only had he thought of the child, but he had also thought of the far future when they were old.
When their kids were all grown up, he would be the only one who would accompany and pamper her through her old age…
How great would it be if that were the case?
Alas, he was only in his sweet dream for a few hours before he woke up to the harsh reality.
Tang Yuansi’s hand was trembling slightly on her tummy.
He knew better than anyone else that he did not have much time left on earth, and that he might not be able to survive until the day she gave birth, even after using all the available medication.
