Cheng Mu helped me with the hospitalization procedures.
I lay on the hospital bed, looking out the window at the bright sunshine and the fragrant flowers and singing birds.
The doctor entered the room again, his expression grave as he informed me, "Lin Weiwei, your condition has deteriorated faster than we anticipated. The cancer cells have spread to your lymph nodes..."
He paused, seemingly reluctant to continue. "We must terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible; otherwise, you might..."
The doctor did not finish his sentence, but I understood his meaning.
I clutched the blanket tightly, my nails digging into my flesh, my body trembling slightly from the overwhelming pain.
This child was my last hope, the only light in my darkness.
I had imagined countless times what it would be like when he was born, picturing a happy life for our family of three. But now, all of that had turned to dust.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
The sound of knocking came, and thinking it was a nurse coming for pre-surgery preparations, I weakly said, "Come in."
The door opened, and to my surprise, I saw Gu Han and Shen Mengyao. Shen Mengyao was linked arm-in-arm with Gu Han, wearing a victorious smile on her face.
Before I could ask them to leave, Shen Mengyao jumped in first, saying, "Gu Han, see? I told you there was something going on between Sister Weiwei and Doctor Cheng! You didn't believe me!"
As she spoke, Shen Mengyao took out a few photographs and pretended to hand them to Gu Han, but I could clearly see each one of them.
In the photos, Cheng Mu and I were embracing, holding hands, and even… kissing.
My mind buzzed, blanking out completely.
These photos were clearly fabricated!
"Lin Weiwei, what else do you have to explain?!" Gu Han's gaze turned icy as he looked at the photos.
I opened my mouth to explain but found myself unable to say anything. It felt as if my throat was blocked, and no sound would come out.
At that moment, a nurse walked in. She timidly glanced at Shen Mengyao before turning to me and saying, "Ms. Lin, Doctor Cheng asked me to tell you that he has found an authoritative expert who can help you keep the baby..."
"Why would Cheng Mu go through all this trouble to help you keep the baby?!" Gu Han suddenly turned his head, glaring fiercely at the nurse. "Whose child is in her belly?!"
The nurse's face turned pale with fear as she stammered, "It… it's Doctor Cheng's..."
"You’re talking nonsense!" I finally regained my voice and struggled to sit up. "The baby is Gu Han's! It's his!"
However, in Gu Han's eyes, my explanation only appeared as a cover-up and a lie.
He said, "Lin Weiwei, how long are you going to keep deceiving me?! The child in your belly is not mine at all!"
He grabbed my arm and yanked me up from the bed. "Lin Weiwei, you really disgust me!"
I felt as if my body was falling apart, the pain making it nearly impossible to breathe.
He had so easily fallen into Shen Mengyao's trap, so easily denied the feelings between us, denied the existence of our child...
Shen Mengyao chimed in from the side, adding fuel to the fire. "Gu Han, I told you long ago that Lin Weiwei doesn't love you; her heart only belongs to Cheng Mu! Look at her—she's willing to give up your child for Cheng Mu!"
Gu Han looked at me, his eyes filled with disgust and hatred. "Lin Weiwei, we’re getting a divorce!"
I gazed deeply at Gu Han.
"Fine." I took a deep breath, struggling to control my emotions. "I agree to the divorce."
