My Hubby Can’t Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 1298: Chapter 1291: Born for Love (1) Chapter 1298: Chapter 1291: Born for Love (1) In retrospect, it seems that everyone involved in the past events was at fault.

Qin Zhiyou was at fault, Lu Weixi was at fault, Lu’s mother was at fault, Yang Mogui was at fault, and the people of the Qin Family were too.

But the marriage was theirs, and so was the child. When Lu Weixi fell down the stairs, she did not pass out immediately. She only felt intense pain all over–her legs, her elbows, her head, but the most excruciating pain came from her abdomen. She had a strong sensation, a feeling that when she had fallen, she had struck her stomach. The child might not be saved!

Back then, she was still very young. When she first found out she was pregnant, she admittedly had a hostile attitude towards the child. With no one around to speak to her, no one to accompany her, and with the immense pressure, she suffered from prenatal depression and really didn’t want the child. However, the child had been in her belly for several months, slowly growing. He would move, would kick her in the still of the night, would gently stir when she spoke as if responding to her voice. She was a mother, and no matter how she had thought about terminating the pregnancy before, at that moment, she wanted to save him!

As Qin Zhiyou came down the stairs, Lu Weixi extended her hand, stained red with blood, and grasped his: “Save the child!”

By the time they reached the hospital, Lu Weixi had already lost consciousness. When she was wheeled out of the operating room, her stomach was empty, the child was gone.

But even though the child was gone, life had to go on. For instance, Lu’s mother was now suffering from second-stage liver cancer, and it was well-known that patients should avoid anger with such a condition. Overcome by rage, she was admitted to the ICU, and the daily medical expenses were astronomical for Lu Weixi at that time.

Her mother was already undergoing cancer treatments, and the expenses were significant each month. This new illness was a catastrophe on top of an existing disaster. Lu Weixi, still in her patient’s gown, after several days standing vigil in front of the ICU, finally made a decision.

Perhaps it was because the child had died, or perhaps because she knew that if she collapsed at that moment, both she and her mother would be doomed. Lu Weixi called for Qin Zhiyou: “Please, save my mother.”

Although Qin Zhiyou felt guilty about the loss of the child, he didn’t forget–no matter when, whenever he stood by Lu Weixi’s side, she would repeatedly distrust him, coldly withdrawing her hand. His heart had cooled: “Why should I save her? We are about to divorce; she’s nothing but my former mother-in-law.”

“What if we don’t get a divorce?” Lu Weixi asked with a calm expression.

Qin Zhiyou was somewhat shocked, but quickly scoffed: “Lu Weixi, do you think, just because we haven’t signed the papers yet, we can just erase everything that’s happened? Even if we were still husband and wife, legally, I am under no obligation to pay for your mother’s medical expenses.”

Lu Weixi wasn’t surprised at all; in fact, she felt that if Qin Zhiyou didn’t react the way he did after her mother had spoken such heartless words, he wouldn’t be himself: “I know. I will earn the money for my mother’s medical expenses. I just need you to be willing to contribute.”

This was the deal they made later on, where he would come every month for her to fulfill her marital duties, and in exchange, he would cover fifty thousand in medical expenses. Qin Zhiyou would indulge himself outside, and she would turn a deaf ear at home, never uttering a word of dissent. This went on for five years.

Back then, they hadn’t been in love, so their transactional relationship did not pose much difficulty. But things were different now! They truly had feelings for each other, and the child was conceived out of love–he really didn’t want to lose it!
