Nangong Lengyu sat on the bed with her head lowered. Her eyes were empty and dazed, and her face was as pale as paper. No one knew what she was thinking.
Wen Ruoshui walked over and placed the plate on the table by the bed before calling her gently, âYuâer.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Nangong Lengyu slowly raised her head and looked at her in a daze. Her voice was hoarse. âShui Shui, why are you here?â
Wen Ruoshuiâs heart ached so much that she did not know what to do. She was already in such a state. How could she not come over to see her? She sat by the bed and hugged her gently. âIf youâre sad, cry!â
Ah Mo said that she hadnât eaten, drank, or cried since the baby left. She didnât say anything either. She was like a zombie.
âWhere do you think she went?â Nangong Lengyu seemed to be muttering to herself, but also seemed to be asking her, âItâs raining outside. Will she be very cold?â
Wen Ruoshuiâs eyes stung as she listened to her. Her throat felt uncomfortable. âNo, she went to the heavens to be a little angel. If you keep doing this, sheâll be sad and heartbroken.â
How did things turn out like this? How did a healthy baby suddenly disappear!
The last time she was here, she accompanied Yuâer for a prenatal checkup. The baby was healthy and lively and often practiced tai chi in her stomach.
At that time, they even said that when the baby was born, he would definitely be a lively little cutie. They even bought small clothes and shoes for the baby together.
As long as she thought about it now, she did not dare to accept this fact, let alone Yuâer!
âShui Shui.â Nangong Lengyu hugged her. Her low, stifled cries were filled with extreme pain. She did not want to believe that her little angel had left her and was no longer there.
All she had to do was deny it, and she would still be there.
She could feel nothing. She didnât feel the beat of her heart or the movement of her feet as she felt her stomach. How could she bear to leave her like this?
âCry,â Wen Ruoshui said, gently patting her back. âJust cry it out.â
Damn it. She had to recognize reality and accept it. She couldnât go on like this forever. The baby was gone, but she had to keep living.
Nangong Lengyu cried for an unknown period of time before gradually stopping. She touched her stomach and said, âShui Shui, sheâs not around anymore. She doesnât want me anymore. She must be blaming me for saying that I didnât want her back then.â
When she was pregnant with her earlier and spoke angrily to Huo Ci, she said that she did not want her. She also went to the hospital and into the operating theater. She must have hated her and resented her. That was why she punished her in such a way.
âNo.â Wen Ruoshuiâs voice was hoarse as she comforted her gently. âWhy would she? She canât wait to love you. She wonât blame you. Donât let your imagination run wild. The baby loves you very much. She also knows that you love her.â
So thatâs what she thought. I didnât know she had such a knot in her heart. Why would she think that!
âShui Shui, itâs my fault. She doesnât want me anymore.â Nangong Lengyu repeated the words in despair and pain.
She didnât know what to do. She didnât know how to get over it. She didnât know how to accept the devastating fact that she wasnât there.
âBe good and stop crying. How could she not want you? She knows youâre a good mother. She knows you love her very much. Sheâs just gone somewhere else.â Wen Ruoshui wiped her tears away. She didnât know how to persuade her to stop being so upset and sad.
