Chapter 597 - Is There Still Hope For the Baby?
597 Is There Still Hope For the Baby?
Lu Fenying instantly gestured to Red Wolf, who ran off.
Lu Fenying walked over to Qian’er. His face changed again when he saw the pool of blood on the ground.
“She’s a Daoist nun, but she’s pregnant?” Lu Fenying said coldly with clenched fists.
He had obtained his power through blood and battle, and had grown up fighting. He had even grown up among wolves. He had seen the goriest scenes, and had never been shocked by blood.
Yet, at that moment, the blood on the ground seemed to hurt his eyes.
Head down, Gu Bailu patted Qian’er’s face. “Disciple, stay strong. You must stay strong for the baby. You have no right to stop it from coming into this world!”
Qian’er struggled to open her eyes, but what she saw was Lu Fenying’s face. She couldn’t help but tremble.
Gu Bailu glared at Lu Fenying. “Your Highness, can you please leave? My disciple had a bad experience with a beast, so she’s afraid of all of them.”
Saying that, she clutched Qian’er’s hand. “Don’t be scared, I’m here. Nobody will dare bully you. I already killed the guard who shoved you.”
Fury burned in Lu Fenying’s eyes. This Daoist nun actually dared to talk to him like that!
Was she implying that he was a beast?
Lu Fenying was about to fly into a rage, when Qian’er suddenly buried her head in Gu Bailu’s arms. “Master, I’m scared. He’s so frightening. Let’s go back, master…”
Lu Fenying’s words stuck in his throat. Looking at the shocking blood below Qian’er, he found it impossible to say anything.
He withdrew behind his table…
Gu Bailu could feel that the front of her robe was wet, but she was glad that Qian’er was crying, since it meant that her head was clear once more.
The fright Lu Fenying had given her had conversely woken her up.
“Okay, we’ll go back in a moment, but not yet. The doctor is on the way.” Gu Bailu gently comforted her.
Qian’er subconsciously covered her belly. “Master, can the baby still be saved?”
“Yes, trust me, it definitely can.”
The truth was that she wasn’t confident at all, but she couldn’t tell Qian’er that something might happen to the baby, not when she was only holding on in the hope that the baby would live.
If she lost the baby, she wouldn’t be able to withstand the blow.
Did Qian’er hate Lu Fenying?
Of course she did.
But she had kept the baby even though she hated him so much that she didn’t want to see him again, and feared him so much that she shuddered when she saw him. It was partly because she respected life, and partly because she was too kindhearted to hurt a baby.
But there might be one more reason, which was that Qian’er might have once liked and yearned for Lu Fenying.
It would be strange if she wasn’t moved by such a handsome man, but that had been replaced with fear after the unending torture she suffered.
So, the baby was the only thing she could cling to.
If it wasn’t for the baby, she might not have had the courage to escape this cage.
Gu Bailu didn’t know if it was the right decision to bring Qian’er back here. It had been beyond her expectations that Qian’er’s reaction to Lu Fenying would be so extreme that it would draw his attention.
However, if she didn’t come back, she would have to live with that fear and mental trauma, and she might not even be able to raise the baby.
Wouldn’t she be reminded of Lu Fenying when she saw the baby every day?
Who knew if she would transfer her self-harming tendencies to her child.
