Chapter 197: Chapter 197: I Don’t Love Our Child

Miss Lin, thank you, I really appreciate it! I won’t be nervous or scared, regardless of whether it can be successful or not, at least at this moment I see hope."

"It will definitely be successful." Lin Zhi assured her, speaking with such certainty that it made Liu Zhenran feel even more at ease.

After talking a lot, Liu Zhenran eventually got tired and fell asleep.

Lin Zhi stepped out of the ward planning to get some fresh air, as there were other nurses besides her to take care of Liu Zhenran. So a brief departure wouldn’t be problematic.

But what Lin Zhi didn’t expect was, as soon as she came out, to see Shi Shen standing outside.

He didn’t know how long he had been standing there, just gazing at the scenery outside the window.

"Mr. Shi?" Lin Zhi approached to greet him. When Shi Shen turned around, she noticed the bloodshot in his eyes had worsened.

When she saw him yesterday, she had already noticed his exhaustion.

Today, he seemed even more exhausted.

Even though he had shaved his beard cleanly, the bloodshot eyes couldn’t fool anyone.

"How is Zhenran?" Shi Shen asked gravely.

"Miss Liu is asleep." Lin Zhi couldn’t help but ask him, "Mr. Shi, didn’t you rest last night?"

Shi Shen answered indifferently, "I couldn’t sleep; every time I closed my eyes, nightmares ensued."

"Nightmares about Miss Liu having an accident?"

"Yes." Shi Shen turned his head to continue staring out the window. "These past days, each day has been hell for me. I feel no joy at the prospect of becoming a father."

Lin Zhi understood. After all, Liu Zhenran was risking her life to have the baby.

It was very likely that she might lose her life as soon as the child was born. So how could he be happy?

"Mr. Shi, I want to ask you a question, and please don’t get angry. Suppose, just suppose, Miss Liu leaves us, what would you do?" Lin Zhi asked cautiously.

But Shi Shen suddenly turned to look at her fiercely, his eyes becoming intimidating in an instant, "Why would you ask that? Don’t you have confidence?!"

"No, it’s just a hypothetical question."

"There are no ’ifs’." Shi Shen suddenly became a different person, his previous politeness gone, replaced by coldness. "I trust you, and Zhenran trusts you too. So that kind of thing won’t happen, I won’t answer any questions about things that are impossible."

Lin Zhi choked up, realizing that he didn’t really trust her; he was just avoiding reality.

"You should answer my question, because it concerns whether your wife can be safe and sound." Lin Zhi demanded firmly, staring at him.

The look in Shi Shen’s eyes turned even colder, "What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing, I just need your stance. I also assure you, your wife will be fine. Now, Mr. Shi, please answer me, what would you do, what are your thoughts?" Lin Zhi’s tough stance made Shi Shen even more perplexed by her behavior.

But she had hit a nerve.

She could ensure Liu Zhenran’s safety...

Shi Shen, probably repressed for too long, didn’t maintain any facade and said coldly with a laugh:

"What can I do? If she’s gone, what can I do? I can’t do anything. Without her, this world has absolutely no meaning to me.

I’ll tell you the truth, I don’t love our children. Every day since I knew of their existence hasn’t been happy. Not a moment goes by when I’m not anxious, not a night passes without nightmares.

I once thought about ending it all myself, but I couldn’t, because without them, Zhenran couldn’t bear it!"
