Bai Meiyue knew that she was being selfish. But there was no other choice. She had seen the selfishness of human hearts in the apocalypse, and she dared not take any chances. Since that was the case, she might as well deal with the troubles that might come with the abortion of Shen Zhen’s child.
"You...you mean to say that the child is not stable?" Lu Yun was stunned. He looked at the ultrasound report and did not know what to say. Earlier, he thought that Shen Zhen did not tell him the truth because she was worried that he would ask her to give up her child. After all, given the situation, who would want to have a child in such circumstances? But now he had a feeling that the reason she did not tell him about the child because she was thinking of aborting the child!
"Isn’t that what I already told you?" said Bai Meiyue with a roll of her eyes. "The child is unstable and cannot be kept without the necessary medicines. I don’t wish to be the sinner of your child, for Shen Zhen is thinking about aborting the child." She pursed her lips and continued, "She is doing this for me, and I am grateful for her actions and thoughts, but I cannot accept them. It is too heavy for me. So I will leave this matter in your hands. Whether you want the child or not, it is up to you. But I hope that the matter will not be connected to me."
Lu Yu was stumped. He wanted to say something but he could not. What was he going to even say? Bai Meiyue had done what she could to help him. She asked him to arrange the medicines and even took on the responsibility of the safe base, even though she was pregnant. He couldn’t possibly blame her for teh decision that Shen Zhen made, could he?
He sucked in a breath and said, "I see. I will talk with Zhen Zhen. Thank you for letting me know the truth." He bowed in front of Bai Meiyue before turning around on his feet and then heading out of the manor. There were some things that he wished to talk about with Shen Zhen.
On the other hand, Lu Rong looked at Shen Zhen with a guilty look on her face. "I am sorry. I know you asked me not to tell the truth to Bai Meiyue, but I cannot see you like this. Maybe she will be able to help you."
"You did the wrong thing." Shen Zhen shook her head. "You know Bai Meiyue’s temperament. She did not agree with me when I told her that I wanted to abort the child earlier. Now that you have told the truth to her, I am worried that she will run to collect the medicines and whatnot."
Shen Zhen saw the thoughtful look on the face of Bai Meiyue when she left the hospital. From the looks of it, Bai Meiyue did not seem to be even close to letting the matter go. Since that was the case, she was worried that Bai Meiyue might make a decision that might hurt her in the long run. If Bai Meiyue allowed teams to look for the resources that she needed, she was worried that the safe base would be in danger.
Just as she was worried about whether to go and look for Bai Meiyue, she saw Lu Yu marching inside the clinic. His fair face was flushed red, and it seemed like he heard what she was talking about right now. She sat up on the couch, and the blanket slid down her body. Seeing the look of betrayal on his face, Shen Zhen had a feeling that the man was aware of what had happened.
"Is the child really unstable?" Lu Yu asked as he came to a stop in front of Shen Zhen. His eyes were fixated on her as if he was worried that the woman might lie to him once again or worse hide the truth like before.
