My Dangerous Billionaire Husband Chapter 1333 - Her Child

Chapter 1333: Her Child

Gong Yi turned over. “I’m sorry. That was rude of me.”

He hugged her in his arms, coaxing her.

Bai Beibei shook her head. “It’s fine… Gong Yi, I’m sleepy. Please let me go to sleep.”

“Mm, sleep. I’ll hold you.” Gong Yi kissed her forehead. “When you’re in a better mood, I’ll take you to the hospital for a check-up. Beibei, let’s have a child as soon as possible.”

Bai Beibei’s body stiffened. She closed her eyes, not saying anything else.

She was pregnant. She already had a baby, but it was not his. How ironic was that?

…

Bai Beibei arrived at the hospital early the next morning. The doctor was ready and waiting for her. She changed out of her clothes and entered the operating theatre.

“Lie down on the operating table,” the doctor said.

Bai Beibei climbed up onto the operating table with great difficulty. The doctor turned on the operating light, white-was.h.i.+ng her surroundings. Feeling uncomfortable with the glare, she raised her hand to shade her eyes.

The doctor noticed how awful her complexion was, so he asked her a question hoping to divert her attention, “Where’s your boyfriend? Didn’t he come with you? An abortion at this stage of your pregnancy is quite dangerous. You’ll hurt for some time after the surgery is completed.”

Bai Beibei shook her head. “He didn’t come.”

The doctor sighed. Opening his medical kit, the doctor laid out his tools for the operation. There were knives, several pairs of scissors, a few long needles, and the like. They glowed coldly under the fluorescent light.

Curious, one of the nurses interning at the hospital asked, “What is this needle for?”

“We’ll be using that needle to pierce the patient’s abdomen to induce childbirth. The patient will then expel the developing fetus through natural bodily contractions.”

The nurse covered her mouth with her hand, exclaiming in horror. “That’s so cruel!”

The doctor shook his head. “Women these days really don’t cherish themselves.”

Bai Beibei gripped the sheets around her with small hands. Her hands were covered in a layer of cold sweat, and her mind turned to the dream she had dreamt.

Though she did not see the girl’s face, she knew with keen certainty that only a mother could possess how beautiful her unborn child would be. She imagined the child’s fair skin, bright and rosy; her voice a sweet tinkling chime. Her unborn child followed her around, calling her ‘mother’. Guilt weighed heavily in her heart.

Bai Beibei always thought of herself as an orphan. Growing up, she never knew the gentle love of a mother. When she regained what she thought she did not possess, it only brought her misery and disappointment. The vision of her unborn child mirrored her own experiences, and for a second, she swore she felt a shadow of her child’s own helplessness.

Her child.

No matter who the father was, she was the child’s mother.

This epiphany brought tears to her eyes. She wiped away her tears using her small hands, but they continued to fall heedless of her actions. She really liked children.

Her little hand caressed her abdomen. Was she really going to abort this child?

At this moment, she felt the burgeoning life within her kick. It was her baby. Her baby had moved.

Her silent child had moved!

At first, it was once, and then twice. It was almost as if the fetus could feel its life imperilled and was protesting as vehemently as it knew how.

Immediately, Bai Beibei sat up and slid off the operation table, making a beeline out of the operating theatre.

“Hey! Hey! Where are you going?” The doctor chased her frantically.

Bai Beibei ran as fast as her slender legs would allow, panting heavily as if the devil was chasing her. No. She could not proceed with the abortion.

Her child was innocent. She wanted to bring her baby into the world.

Her mistakes were hers alone to bear. She would not push them onto her unborn child.

Life is an amalgamation of one’s choices. It is these choices that define our lives. Already, she had let Gong Yi down by carrying the child of another man. Even if she could never redeem herself as his wife, she could still do right by her child and be a good mother to her. She would shower her child in love and kindness, living life to its fullest together.

It was her choice, and she would live with all that it entailed.

Looking up, Bai Beibei saw two familiar figures strolling towards her.

…

Old Man Gong held onto his wife’s arm and asked with concern, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, don’t make a fuss. I just sprained my back.”

“You should have it checked. You’re not young anymore. You have to take better care of your body.”

“Who are you calling old? You’re even older than I am!” Madam Gong retorted unhappily.

The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled.

Bai Beibei was stunned by their smile. It was a smile of mutual support that made people envious.

She thought of her mother. Her mother had once tried to destroy this loving couple. She had failed to do so and had even framed someone else. She felt ashamed of her mother.

“Hey, isn’t that Beibei?” Bai Beibei heard her mother-in-law say.

She looked up and saw that her mother and father-in-law had seen her.

She froze.

At this moment, the doctor rushed over. “Miss, why did you run away? Have you decided against abortion? If so, please sign here.”

Abortion?

Old Man Gong and Madam Gong were both shocked, and they quickly made their way over.

“Beibei, why do you want to have an abortion?” Madam Gong took the chart from the doctor’s hands and looked at it. It was an ultrasound that showed Beibei had been pregnant for four months.

“You’re four months pregnant?” Madam Gong muttered sceptically.

Old Man Gong’s face instantly turned ashen. He s.n.a.t.c.hed the ultrasound chart from his wife’s hands and studied its contents. She really was four months pregnant!

It had not even been four months since his son had met Bai Beibei. Whose child did she bear?

His son would never have slept with a woman he had just met.

Bai Beibei paled. She had not expected to meet her father and mother-in-law. Indeed, the timing of their appearance could not have been worse. It made the situation more embarra.s.sing than it had to be.

“Come with me!” Old Man Gong flicked his sleeves and left.

At the entrance of the corridor…

“Whose child is this?” Old Man Gong demanded icily.

Now that things had come to a head, there was no longer any need for her to hide the truth. She was not about to lie straight to Old Man Gong’s face. It went against her conscience “The child isn’t Gong Yi’s.”

Old Man Gong laughed coldly. “As expected. I knew I could not have been wrong. The child isn’t Gong Yi’s! Does Gong Yi know about this?”

Bai Beibei shook her head. “No.”

Just then, Old Man Gong caught sight of the diamond ring looped around her ring finger. “My son has proposed to you, hasn’t he?”

Bai Beibei lowered her head in silence.

“So what do you plan to do now? Are you going to conceal the truth from my son and make him the father of your child?” Old Man Gong hissed angrily.

“Did you run out of the operating theatre with some nefarious scheme to hide the truth from Gong Yi? Do you really love my son at all? Is this the way you repay him for his kindness?

“Frankly, when Gong Yi told me that you’re pregnant, I was thrilled. I’ve wanted a grandson for so long that I was prepared to look the other way regarding your mother and your personal history. It seems I was too kind. You’ve truly disappointed me!”
