Chapter 80 Keeping the Child or Not

o stay, why would she return to the shabby little dormitory.Indeed, Yan Luoxi shook her head, "I’m not going back for now; I’ll wait for Brother Guangtao."Lifting her head and pretending it didn’t bot...Chapter 80: To Keep or Not to Keep the Child

Yan Luoxi looked up at Shao Junhe's expression. His face was pale and green with anger and grief, his watery eyes hazy and disoriented as if he somewhat believed what she had said.

Taking advantage of the situation.

Yan Luoxi took a deep breath and continued, "This child shouldn't have been conceived. He's an illegitimate child; I can't keep him. Therefore, I must get rid of him. Brother Dou, could you please go talk to the doctor for me and arrange a time..."

"No." Shao Junhe’s tone was unusually firm as he decisively rejected her request.

"Why not" Yan Luoxi's lips were pale with anger as she glared at Shao Junhe. "The child is in my body, so if I want to keep him, I can; and if I don't want to, I won’t. Why should you interfere"

Shao Junhe lowered his handsome eyes, took a deep breath, then raised his head slowly and said with a heavy tone, "Luoxi, your current physical condition is extremely poor. You can no longer endure an abortion procedure. The doctors won’t perform the operation."

"If they won't do it for me, I'll do it myself," Yan Luoxi scoffed arrogantly. "I will start running downstairs in a bit; if that doesn’t work, I’ll jump rope; and if all else fails, I’ll jump off a building. I don’t believe I can’t get rid of him somehow.

Shao Junhe listened as Yan Luoxi spoke so cruelly and painfully closed his eyes, his body uncontrollably trembling. "Luoxi, are you looking for death by doing this"

"If I want to die, what's it to you Living like this is more painful than death." An unnamed rage ignited in his chest, causing Yan Luoxi's torso to rise and fall rapidly as tears and sweat moistened the strands of hair on his forehead.

"Yan Luoxi, can't you have some backbone It’s just Li An who abandoned you. Is it really that bad You’re depressed, threatening suicide, now even considering giving up your own child. Your current cold-hearted and inhumane behavior is truly worse than death."

"Snap." Yan Luoxi raised her hand to give Shao Junhe a sharp slap.

The large hospital room suddenly fell silent.

After being slapped by Yan Luoxi, Shao Junhe did not show any regret on his face and remained still, only sorrowfully looking at her.

Yan Luoxi's face was flushed red; her right hand that had just hit Shao Junhe lay beside her as her lips trembled incessantly, whether due to anger or something else.

"If you feel comfortable and relieved by hitting me, then go ahead," Shao Junhe said with a sorrowful expression. "But don’t take it out on your body or the child."

Yan Luoxi felt somewhat guilty, wondering if she had gone mad. Shao Junhe had been helping and taking care of her all along, yet she ended up being like a dog biting its benefactor, Lü Dongbin.

She tried hard to calm herself down, but her trembling voice betrayed her emotions. "You... you go ahead and leave me alone. Don’t bother whether I live or die, don’t care if the child inside me lives or dies."

"I want to walk away too. I wish I could stop caring about you," Shao Junhe smiled bitterly: "But I can't."

Yan Luoxi's body trembled slightly before she turned her head to look out the window. She understood his thoughts, but there was nothing left for her to reciprocate such a beautiful and sincere emotion with.

A long while later, Yan Luoxi spoke up softly yet clearly. "No matter whose child this is, I cannot keep it. With all the medicine I've taken before, it wouldn't be good for the baby. It's better not to bring him into the world and cause suffering to both of us, than to have a disabled child in the future."

"I’ve already told the doctor about your situation earlier; they did thorough examinations for you and the baby. The baby is currently developing completely normally with no issues at all," Shao Junhe seemed to sense a glimmer of hope from Yan Luoxi’s words, his lips curling into a small arc as he spoke fervently.

"That doesn't matter either. Anything could happen; this is a child, not a cat or dog that can be discarded if it's born with problems," Yan Luoxi shook her head forcefully, the consequences too horrifying to imagine: "Brother, I still have a long life ahead of me and need to live in this world. I don't have the ability to raise a single child on my own, let alone one with disabilities."

Shao Junhe suddenly grabbed Yan Luoxi’s hand forcefully as if he had made up his mind: "Luoxi, rest assured that you can give birth to the baby. If the child turns out healthy and you want to keep him by your side at that time, I will support both of you for a lifetime to ensure that you and the child live without worry of food or clothing.

If you don't want the child at that time or if anything happens to him, I will be responsible for raising him. I'll take care of him until my death.

You know that my family is wealthy. On the day I die, if he is still alive, I will entrust others with his care. Luoxi, you can rest assured. He won't get in your way or burden you.

Luoxi, if you meet someone special in the future... and want to marry them, or if you wish to work and go as far as you desire, this child will always be with me without causing any trouble for you. Is this not enough

Yan Luoxi was shocked by Shao Junhe's long declaration of love, her eyes filled with tears as she choked out, "It can't be like that, you're so young and wealthy. You should marry someone you like in the future and have your own children; you need to live your life. How could this child burden you for a lifetime"

"I won’t get married." Shao Junhe said firmly. "Luoxi, as long as you agree to give birth to this child, regardless of his condition, I promise to raise and take care of him without any regrets. I will be there for him, and he will have a good life. Believe in me; when I say something, I mean it."

Tears streamed down Yan Luoxi's face despite her resolve not to cry anymore or believe men.

"I don't want you to do such foolish things for my sake. Your family won’t let you either."

Shao Junhe’s face was pressed against Yan Luoxi's ear, saying with unwavering determination, "My own affairs, I will decide myself, Luoxi. Trust me."p him!"He Yufan's pained and flickering gaze could not conceal the sudden disappointment that had come over her.
