Chapter 304
“If you care, then give birth to him. He’s my child, Tang Yuchen’s child, and I would never deny him. If you don’t care, you also have the option to abort him.”
He kept a smile on his face, speaking lightly, as if discussing today’s weather, so nonchalant.
An Xin’s complexion changed slightly. She already knew the result, but his reaction…
She grabbed his wrist in a rush, asking anxiously, “Aren’t you happy, don’t you like him? He’s your child. Even if you don’t like me, you can’t dislike your own child!”
In her heart, the woman was desperately pleading.
Please, I beg of you, care about him, I have nothing else left to offer!
“An Xin,” Tang Yuchen began in a low voice, his gaze growing even more intense, “there are plenty of women willing to have my children. What makes you think I’d lack children or care about them that much?”
Boom—
An Xin’s eyes widened in shock, as if something had exploded in her head, leaving a blank space.
Her once agitated emotions suddenly cooled, plunging into the depths of despair.
It was like bungee jumping, filled with fear and insecurity.
“However, darling, since you’re already pregnant, you might as well give birth to the child.” The man, seeing the expression on her face, smiled even more devilishly.
He touched her face with a teasing hand and walked away with large strides. As he turned, the smile at the corner of his mouth suddenly vanished, and a cold chill flashed through his indifferent eyes.
An Xin felt so cold, her body and even more so her heart.
The child she had been eagerly anticipating was insignificant in his eyes, not important at all.
This was her most crucial bargaining chip; why had it suddenly lost its value, its significance gone?
If he found out about what she had done, would he still protect her for the sake of the child, let her off the hook?
An Xin’s heart had never been so filled with trepidation, so uncertain.
Once, she handled things with confidence, feeling like everything was under her control.
Now she no longer felt that confident, as if at any moment she could lose control of everything, allowing the situation to deteriorate to its worst.
Had she ultimately taken the wrong step?
An Xin’s heart wouldn’t accept it, nor could she believe that Tang Yuchen truly didn’t care about the child in her womb.
Regardless, she had to protect this child now.
Even if he didn’t care about the child inside her, she had to take a gamble; after all, even a tiger wouldn’t eat its cubs!
For the next two days, An Xin didn’t go to the hospital again.
She couldn’t continue to waste away; otherwise, she could lose the child at any moment.
In those two days, she put aside all worries, ate well, drank well, slept well at home, all for nurturing her health.
And Tang Yuchen hadn’t done anything to her; after all, An Xin was a mouse in his hands, so he let her enjoy her last few days because there would be no chance after that.

Another new day began.
The sunshine was bright, and the garden outside the window was alive with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
Tang Yuchen entered the ward and saw a nanny carefully wiping the face of the comatose An Ruo.
He rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, extending a hand, “Give it to me, all of you leave.”
The nanny hesitated for a moment, ensuring she had heard correctly, then handed him the towel.
The man skillfully washed the towel in the basin, wrung it out, then gently laid the towel on An Ruo’s face to wash her.
After washing her face and neck, he wiped her hands next.
An Ruo’s hands were delicate and pale but had become so thin that they had lost much of their flesh. Her body had rapidly lost weight these past few days.
