Chapter 816 - Why Did He Miss out on Three Years with Them

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Today, Lin Shiyu wore a Chanel-fashioned black knit dress that accentuated her curvaceous figure. It was slightly shorter than the usual dresses that she wore, cutting off slightly above her knees, revealing her perfectly long and slim legs. It was exactly what Fu Qinglun loved.

Her hair was tied back into a low ponytail, revealing her delicate neck. She had black luscious hair, fair and white skin with red lips, her cold beauty ethereal.

The man asked her, why didn’t she take Little Lemon to him?

Lin Shiyu smirked, giving him a cold gaze. “I never once thought of going to you for the past three years.”

What did she just say?

Heart sinking, Fu Qinglun’s chest heaved up and down while his rage intensified, almost taking away his sense of rationality. “Lin Shiyu, you stole my DNA and took my daughter away from me, how dare you behave so brazenly?”

He then grasped her shoulder, shaking it forcefully. “Little Lemon is my daughter, she’s already three years old this year. I’ve missed out on three years of her childhood and she didn’t have a father for three years. Lin Shiyu, how could you be so heartless?”

How could this woman be so heartless to see the father-daughter duo separated. Little Lemon craved for a father’s love, she was sickly and yet he had been late, arriving in her life only after three long years.

Fu Qinglun felt as though someone had inserted a knife into his chest and twisted it around, causing a wrenching pain in his heart.

Lin Shiyu looked at him impassively. “I’ve never hidden the fact that you’re Little Lemon’s father. As for why didn’t I take Little Lemon to you, you’re simply ridiculous. Why am I even obligated to take Little Lemon to you?

1“I was bleeding when I realized I was pregnant, the doctor’s first words were, do you know that you have recurrent pregnancy loss? It’d be tough for you to keep this baby. I was perplexed after hearing his words, I was only 21 years old when I was pregnant with Little Lemon, why would I have recurrent pregnancy loss when I’m so young and healthy?”

Fu Qinglun stiffened. This was the pain in his heart that could never be wiped away.

He had caused irreversible damage to her body after that incident in the river, she even had to undergo a surgery to clear out the fetal tissue after suffering her previous miscarriage, almost ruining her reproductive system. The doctor had diagnosed that she would suffer from recurrent pregnancy loss.

He didn’t tell her the truth about her body, he didn’t dare to.

He really didn’t dare to tell her the truth.

“The doctor advised me to terminate the pregnancy, he told me that if I were to suffer from excessive bleeding during the pregnancy, it was possible that both our lives would be gone. The doctor even hinted at me, that foreigners are more liberal and I can very well just adopt a child next time. I rejected the doctor without even giving it a single thought of consideration. Why should I adopt a child? I’m a woman, and God gave me the ability to reproduce. I have the right to become a mother.

“For the next seven months, I had to spend all of my time on the bed. The doctor would come every single day to give me a shot of progesterone to maintain the pregnancy. I had to try so hard to eat, sleep and continue with prenatal education. I really wanted to give birth to a healthy baby!

“But it was all futile, I had a premature delivery, my waters broke at the seven month mark. Little Lemon was so small when she was born, not even 3 pounds heavy. The doctor told me that her vitals were weak and they had me prepare myself for the worst.

“When other new mothers were all practicing to breastfeed with their families beside them, Little Lemon was sent into an incubator. I could only stand outside and watch her from the windows before pumping and disposing of all the breast milk I had produced.

“These three years, Little Lemon has been visiting the hospital countless times. We had to spend our four seasons in the hospital. I’m sorry, I was busy with keeping Little Lemon alive for the past three years and I didn’t have the time to consider how I caused you to miss out on three years of childhood time with Little Lemon, I wasn’t considerate, I’m really sorry.”

After hearing her words, especially how she said ‘I’m sorry’, Fu Qinglun felt a dark twist of throbbing pain in his chest.

He didn’t mean it.

He didn’t mean to blame her.

She had given birth to his daughter and had to raise the child alone for the past three years, it was really tough on her.

1He was concerned about Little Lemon, but he felt even more for her.

He wanted to tell her honeyed words too. He grasped her shoulder forcefully with his large hand, he wanted to become one with this woman right now, to hug her, kiss her, dote on her, using all of his strength.

No woman had ever left such a great impact in his life.

He really wasn’t blaming her, he was blaming himself. Why did he miss out on the three years? He could have gone to look for her anytime during the three years.

With his current status, he could have found her without much difficulty,

But he didn’t.

He just left her outside of his world.

It was him who had left her.

Fu Qinglun furrowed his brows, his eyes were already red as he ran his calloused fingertips over her cold cheek, muttering with a hoarse voice, “Shi’shi, I...”

Lin Shiyu pushed away his large palm with an impassive tone. “If only I knew that you were actually acquainted with Si Kong and so influential now, you could actually provide for Little Lemon even more than I could. If I knew, I would have brought Little Lemon to look for you.”

That was all?

She should have been aware that he wasn’t asking about that.

He was asking, why didn’t she take Little Lemon to look for him?

What he meant was that, when she was helpless and alone, did she ever think about him?

Did she ever think of looking for him and to depend on him?

Not only because of Little Lemon, but because she wanted to look for him. Did she think about him and love him in the three years?

Lin Shiyu took a few steps back, she remained icy-cold. “Fu Qinglun, I know that you didn’t mean to hurt me when we were younger, it was all an accident when you mistook Lu Qi’er for the younger me. I know that you were also heartbroken when I had a miscarriage and lost the baby, it wasn’t your intention for Little Lemon to suffer from septicemia. You weren’t at fault, I know that, but I’m sorry, I really couldn’t forget.

“Ever since I met you when I was six and saved you, I really feel that I’ve had a nightmare that has never stopped, even now.”

Fu Qinglun’s Adam’s apple bobbed, he couldn’t utter even a single word though he had so much to say to her.

Everyone knew that he wasn’t at fault and he could behave so confidently in front of anyone, but not in front of her. He was a sinner in front of her.

If anyone were to judge him, only she had the right to do so.

He really owed her too much.

He owed her so, so much.

Everything else didn’t matter.

Lin Shiyu glanced at him before she turned around to leave. Pulling the door open, she wanted to step out.

Ahh, once she opened the door, someone fell into the room.

Grandma!

Grandma had already been standing outside, eavesdropping on their entire conversation.

Lin Shiyu was shocked. “Hi, may I know who you are?”

He he, Grandma pointed at Fu Qinglun guiltily. “I’m this rascal’s Grandma...”
