Chapter 284: Chapter 284: The Longer the Wait, the Harder it is to Let Go_1

"Xiaoqiao, you’re being too paranoid!"

"Elder Brother! Whose side are you really on?"

Mu WuXie sighed, "I’m not making excuses for Gu Hangshen, I’m just worried about you. To others, this child has no meaning, but she is your flesh and blood, within your reach, and connected to you by blood. To kill her by your own hand would bring you the most pain."

"Moreover, your current physical condition is not suitable for an abortion."

This was also a very important reason for his opposition.

"Even if I’m blind for the rest of my life, I can’t have this child," Gong Xiaoqiao’s attitude remained stubbornly firm.

Fearing she was too agitated, Mu WuXie could only coax her, "There’s no rush at this moment! How about I arrange it for you in a week?"

Gong Xiaoqiao remained silent, not saying a word.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t wait these few days, but rather, she feared, the longer she waited... the harder it would be to let go...

—

Unexpectedly, a turn of events occurred over these few days.

Gu Hangshen actually found her location.

Leng Tou’s people sent a message from America that Mu WuXie wasn’t over there at all. Gu Hangshen immediately became suspicious and traced him all the way here.

These days, they were staying in the house of a patient of Mu WuXie’s, a country farmhouse backed by a mountain. Mu WuXie quickly hid her in the mountain, then went down to lead the people away.

Gong Xiaoqiao acted as if Gu Hangshen would kill her the moment he arrived, so Mu WuXie did not dare to be the least bit careless.

After Mu WuXie left, Gong Xiaoqiao stayed alone on the mountain, leaning against a large tree, with a coat Mu WuXie had thrown to her before he left covering her.

The sounds of the wind rustling through the branches and shrubs filled her ears, occasionally accompanied by the cries of birds and beasts.

It was now night, and the moon above was large, along with stars she couldn’t see in the city, but she couldn’t see them at all.

Whether it was night or day, it made no difference to her.

Even if it had been a bright sunny day, the moment Mu WuXie left, all that was left for her was darkness and terror.

In the darkness, unable to see anything, even the slightest sound seemed terrifying to her.

Was that sound the rustling of leaves in the wind, or the footsteps of someone?

Was that sound the call of an animal, or the voice of someone speaking?

She dared not let down her guard, pricking up her ears for every sound, huddled inside Mu WuXie’s coat.

The residual warmth from his body was also gradually fading away...

She felt like a blind little animal, a shell-less mollusk, driven almost mad by fear in the face of the unknown and unprotected.

Gu Hangshen, what do you really want?

What will it take for you to let me go?

Unintentionally, she placed her hand on her abdomen and suddenly felt something stir inside.

She tensed her nerves, held her breath, and tried hard to feel it.

It wasn’t an illusion. It really was moving, like a current of air flowing from left to right, from right to left.

She couldn’t help but move her fingers to follow its path.

Through a layer of belly skin, her hand could actually touch the movement of life inside, which felt truly miraculous.

Elder Brother said that around four months there should be fetal movements, but she had never noticed them before.

She didn’t expect the first time to be under such circumstances.

Leaning against the tree behind her, she gently stroked her abdomen, caressing the lively new life inside with a protective gesture.

She felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart and even felt that she had become stronger.

Mother, what a brave name.
