At these words, the man's features instantly darkened. He exuded an aura of authority without even getting angry, and the atmosphere tightened.
The already tense atmosphere in the hospital ward became even more stifling.
He had thought that the first thing the bird that had fallen into the water would do after waking up was to cry, throw a tantrum, and show weakness, asking him to seek justice for her.
But unexpectedly, the first words out of her mouth were to question him instead.
Could it be that someone had said something to her?
Fu Lian narrowed his eyes slightly. "Why are you asking me such a meaningless question?"
Wen Baozhu was silent for a second.
She yanked off the breathing mask on her face and said, "Mr. Fu brought me to Hong Kong. All he needs is for me to be obedient and follow his plan."
She paused for a moment and then continued, "Having a baby for the Fu family was Madam Li's request. Mr. Fu never mentioned such a thing. So I guessed that perhaps Mr. Fu doesn't actually look forward to this baby's arrival."
Fu Lian didn't say a word, but his eyes visibly turned colder.
There was a hint of contempt in his eyes, as if he was mocking her for being self - conceited. "If you're right, are you going to abort this baby?"
Wen Baozhu couldn't fathom the hidden meaning in his words. She just lowered her head meekly and said, "If Mr. Fu doesn't want this baby to come into this world, of course I'll listen to Mr. Fu."
She had no intention of using the baby to climb the social ladder, and she didn't want the baby to be born into a world full of his father's aversion.
Since she had never experienced fatherly love in her life, Wen Baozhu didn't want this tragedy to repeat itself.
The room fell into a momentary silence.
Fu Lian lifted his lips slightly. His tone was very calm. "I knew I didn't misjudge you. Our Baozhu is so considerate."
The words were words of praise, but there was mockery in his eyes.
Wen Baozhu lowered her face and didn't respond to this.
She didn't know what time it was now. Outside the window, it was starting to get dimly light, and a bit of white light was peeping out from the edge of the sky.
"Whether to keep the baby or not is indeed up to me,"
Fu Lian's gaze was deep. "But before I give the final word, I don't allow anything to go wrong with this baby."
After saying this, Fu Lian reached up to loosen his tie. There was a thin layer of frost in his eyes. "For now, both you and the baby in your belly still have some value."
Wen Baozhu was stunned for a moment.
She quickly analyzed the meaning behind his words: He really didn't want this baby, but due to other factors, he couldn't abort it too early.
The man's patience was exhausted. He turned around and walked out of the ward without even saying a "Get well soon" to her.
That tiny glimmer of hope was completely extinguished after she got the answer. Wen Baozhu was just a bit disappointed for a moment, but then she quickly accepted the reality.
She had already anticipated the result in her heart, so she wasn't that sad.
He only regarded her as a pawn, so how could he really care about the baby in her belly?
Whether it was her or the baby, they were just chips to fulfill his ambition.
Wen Baozhu let out a sigh and gently placed her hand on her belly.
If the baby was going to be born into this world without love, perhaps it would be better not to come at all.
Sorry, baby.
It was already bright outside. Wen Baozhu turned to look at the illuminated scenery outside the window and suddenly remembered—
She hadn't been able to watch the beautiful fireworks show last night.
—
In fact, last night's fireworks show was indeed terminated abruptly.
Not only did Wen Baozhu miss it, but the entire population of Hong Kong also missed it, including all the wealthy socialites on the yacht.
The reason was that there was an emergency on the luxury yacht, and it had to dock temporarily.
Such a thing was unheard of. Everyone on the yacht was whispering and trying to find out the reason, but to no avail.
It was only rumored that a female family member of a certain big shot had accidentally fallen into the sea and needed to be rushed to the hospital for treatment.
Some people scoffed. What kind of woman could make everyone on the yacht change their plans?
Some people were just watching the show, curious about what kind of big shot would rather upset a whole boatload of wealthy businessmen and socialites than continue the night - long party.
Obviously, this person was well - known, or else no one would even dare to mention their name.
Only the two socialites who had secretly gossiped about Wen Baozhu in the restroom looked pale and were very quiet the whole night.
Because they noticed that only two people were missing from the entire yacht.
Fu Lian and Wen Baozhu.
...
Wen Baozhu obediently stayed in the hospital for a week, and finally all the test results came out.
Fortunately, there was no serious damage to her brain, and all her physical indicators were normal.
However, the condition of the fetus in her belly was really not ideal. She had experienced frequent minor bleeding in the past few days. Every time the doctor came to check, they couldn't help but shake their heads.
It wasn't Wen Baozhu's fault. She had been eating hard to supplement nutrition these days. She hardly got out of bed unless it was absolutely necessary and always stayed in the hospital bed.
But for some reason, whether it was due to her emotions or something else, she just couldn't keep this baby.
The doctor tactfully advised Fu Lian that if it really didn't work out, they should just give up.
"She's still young. She'll have more chances to get pregnant in the future."
The cold white light of the hospital corridor shone on Fu Lian's face, hiding his eyebrows in the shadows.
His eyes were as deep as a bottomless pool, showing no emotion other than calmness.
He would never lose control, never be emotional.
After listening to the doctor's advice, he just nodded slightly and then said, "Can we consider trying to preserve the fetus?"
The doctor was a bit hesitant. "We can give it a try, but it might be very harmful to the patient's body, and we may not even be able to save the fetus."
Although the technology for preserving the fetus was quite mature now, it was also built on the pain of the pregnant woman.
She would have to get injections every day, and the side effects of the medicine would also torment her repeatedly, bringing endless suffering to the mother's body.
Not to mention the series of procedures such as blood draws and taking medicine. A perfectly healthy person might also suffer great damage to their body because of this.
The corridor fell into silence.
The doctor was a bit in awe of the man in front of him. He could tell that Fu Lian wanted to keep this baby.
Fu Lian was silent for a moment.
"Then let's wait and see for now." Fu Lian finally gave in. "Let nature take its course and see her luck and the baby's fate."
Hearing that Fu Lian's determination to preserve the fetus had finally wavered, the doctor quietly let out a sigh of relief.
In fact, compared to trying to save this unstable fetus, the doctor also recommended that she get pregnant again while she was still young.
Fu Lian didn't say a word. He turned to look at the ward.
In the past few days, Wen Baozhu had visibly lost weight. She was no longer as energetic as before, as if her vitality had been drained away.
She was listless and often stared blankly out of the window.
Even though she had been actively cooperating with the treatment, she was often out of it. Her once clear eyes were now full of worries.
Optimistically, he thought that his bird was just sick.
She had just been soaked in cold water. She would get better.
He always thought so in his heart.
