The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 347 - Torn Apart

Lihua stiffened hard and so did Wei. They stared at Mingshen in shock and disbelief. Lihua felt her ears buzz as the words rang in them.

Her heart had almost stopped beating. It was Wei who finally asked, "What?"

Mingshen glanced down at her. "She is pregnant. I came to know when I unlocked her memories and did a checkup. I had my doubts when she stepped in. She looked a little different. My suspicions were confirmed after I took her pulse. She is pregnant with the fetus being around slightly less than a month old."

He stared at the couple who stood rooted as if lightning struck them..

Mingshen touched his chin. "It's great news for you two. Sadly, it's not the right moment to give my congratulations."

The timing…You guys seriously have shitty luck. A baby makes everything so complicated.

Pregnant…

Lihua touched her belly and thought about the little bun inside her.

A child...Wei and my child…

Her lips curled into a smile, but it soon dimmed as tears flowed down her eyes. The thought of becoming a mother soon overwhelmed her heart with joy. There was a baby inside her. She was so happy that she wanted to jump and hug Wei.

But Wei…

The father of her child was a man who had betrayed her trust and who had murdered her beloved sister. She couldn't even share her happiness with him.

Lihua trembled.

What will I do now? What am I supposed to do now…?

The question of her child's whole future froze her. After the bitter truth, there was no way that Lihua could bear to live with Wei.

But now, there was a child. She wanted to be happy, but suddenly, the child's existence scared her. If she left Wei, then would her child have to live his whole life without a father?

A broken marriage and a broken family...is that what she wanted to give him?

Lihua knew the pain herself and how it felt to live in a family with no parents. She was often bullied in school for not having a mother and father.

How would she handle that? If she left Wei, then would she be able to take the responsibility all on her own? What would she tell him when the child would ask her about his father?

This one news sprouted a million questions in her mind.

She trembled and burst into tears. She recalled the time they spent at the island and Wei's promise that they would always live together.

What about the promise…?

They were supposed to visit the island next time with their children. They would raise them together and be good parents to them.

Will that never come true now?

Before she could grieve for Jia's death, the news of her pregnancy hit her hard. Two news on the opposite end of the spectrum suddenly confronted her today.

She wanted to cry for Jia and mourn her loss. But now she was carrying a child, and she wanted to be happy.

But if she would smile and rejoice at the existence of that little life inside her, then she thought that she would do grave injustice to Jia.

How could she feel blissful and celebrate when she just learned that her sister was no more?

Lihua was carrying the child of her sister's murderer. Wouldn't Jia's soul be tormented?

So many questions were tearing her apart from within.

On the other hand, Wei was going through similar conflicting feelings as Lihua. He was going to be a father. The thought of Lihua carrying their child made him feel as if he was floating in the clouds. He was silently but eagerly waiting for his little Lihua to come into his world. And now his dream of becoming a father to his adorable daughter had come true.

But his happiness lasted only for a few moments when he realized the current situation. Lihua had decided to leave his side. She had questioned their future together after the grave mistakes he made.

Did that mean that not only he was losing Lihua but his unborn child too?

Wei took two slow steps towards her. His arm trembled as he placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Li-Lihua…"

But Lihua, who was too stressed out with all the emotions and worries that charged at her out of nowhere, couldn't handle the pressure. The world started spinning around her.

"Lihua!"

Wei caught her in his arms, who was about to collapse. He saw her color going paler, and her eyes shut as she landed in his embrace, fainted.

"Mi-mingshen, Lihua has fainted," Wei panicked.

"Bojing!" Mingshen was already on it. "Take her in that ward. Quickly."

Lu Bojing got the ward ready, and Wei placed her on the bed.

"Get out. I need to check on her."

"No! I won't leave Lihua's side," Wei felt his heart in his throat. He patted her cheeks and tried to wake her up. "Lihua, Lihua, wake up please…"

Mingshen gritted his teeth. "Oh, shut it. I cannot do her checkup if you are stuck like a sore thumb here. Get the fuck out."

Wei was mercilessly thrown out of the ward. But he couldn't sit and started pacing back and forth in the corridor.

He looked down at his trembling hands and recalled how weak Lihua looked.

"It's my fault…It's all my fault…she fainted because of me. I have hurt her…"

He collapsed on his knees, and his warm tears fell on the floor.

"Boss?" Fu Renshu ran towards him, shocked to see him in such a state. He was told to wait outside while they met Mingshen. But he couldn't hold onto his anxiousness anymore.

"Boss, what happened? Why are you like this?"

He looked around and asked, "Where is Madam?"

Wei mumbled. "It's all my fault, Renshu. I made her sick. She fainted because of me...I hurt her. What should I do? I-I…"

"Boss, calm down. Tell me what happened. How did you hurt Madam?"

"Lihua fainted…"

Fu Renshu widened his eyes in shock.

Fainted?
