Bai Meiyue was in a dilemma. She first dealt with her checkup and then went out of the hospital in a daze. When she returned to her mansion, Bai Meiyue did not know what to do about the matter at hand. She wanted to be fair, but at the same time, she was indeed worried about her child as well. What if something happened when Lu Yu and the rest of the ability users were gone? What would she do then? But—
Lu Yu’s happy face and Shen Zhen’s tormented expression flashed in her mind. Was she really that cruel to let her child be born after spilling the blood and flesh of an innocent soul? Bai Meiyue did not believe so. She might be a lot of things, but she would never let her son become the cause of a child’s death. After she had thought things through, she turned to look at Xiao Wu, who was humming a tune while fishing in the pond next to her mansion, and called him.
"Xiao Wu, go and call Lu Yu. Tell him that there is something that I want to talk to him about."
"Yosh, Boss!" As soon as Xiao Wu heard that Bai Meiyue wanted to say something to Lu Yu, he immediately dropped whatever she was doing and rushed toward the mansion where Lu Yu lived.
With Xiao Wu searching for Lu Yu, it did not take long for the man to arrive at the mansion. He took one look at Bai Meiyue’s solemn expression and his heart skipped a beat. Did something happen?
He glanced at Bai Meiyue’s belly and then questioned in a hurry, "Is something the matter? Did something happen? Do I need to take you to the doctor? Miss Bai, don’t think that I am being too nosy, but I think you need to start being careful. You are going to give birth to a child very soon, but you are still running around left and right. I am afraid that with the current situation, there is a good chance that something might go amiss. Boss Lei is also unconscious, so you need to be honest and rest more even if he cannot nag you anymore."
"You!" Bai Meiyue was speechless. She called the man to help him, but instead, he gave her a lecture about not running around the safe base all day long. She rolled her eyes angrily before suppressing the anger that was about to explode. With her temper, she was worried that things might become even worse.
She gave Lu Yu a hard look and then spoke in a quiet voice, "Lu Yu, I did not call you here because I want to fight with you. There is something that you should know, even though I believe that this is something that Doctor Shen should tell you on her own, but I am afraid that with how much she believes she owes me, she will never tell you the truth, so I can only take charge of this matter."
"That’s right. You need to go and talk with Shen Zhen, ask her what she needs to stabilise the child in her womb and arrange things thoroughly. I know that she is worried that I will have to take care of the entire safe base, but I would rather do that than let your child die because of mine. Go and take the team with you; I will take care of the safe base." As she finished speaking, she raised her hand and waved at Lu Yu, asking him to go and deal with the important matters first.
She chose to tell the truth, not because she was not worried about the safe base’s safety or because she thought that she was too strong and capable to deal with everything on her own, but because she did not want to owe such a big favour to the two of them. If the child died, then not only would she owe them a favour, but also Xiao Cai, what would happen then? In this world, no one knew when the feelings of a person would change. The last thing she wanted was someone to use this favour as a means to make her son putty in their hands.
And Shen Zhen was correct. Even if Lu Yu believed and followed Lei Qian, what if he thought that she and Lei Qian had snatched his child away from him? That would only make him hate them and Xiao Cai. What if he tried to ruin her son in his hatred? So it was better to nip this problem before it even started.
