Chapter 177 - 177 177 Best to Keep Everything Hidden_1

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Best to Keep Everything Hidden_1 Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Best to Keep Everything Hidden_1 Bo Jingyan’s expression suddenly darkened.

He felt a pang of guilt at the thought that the elder Bo had fainted due to the stress caused by his impulsive actions, not considering the old man’s fragile health.

So, he reassured, “Don’t worry, I’ve changed my mind. I won’t make her abort the child.”

“That’s for the best!” Elder Bo’s face immediately softened a bit.

Bo Jingyan was his protégé and the child he had personally raised, and he could tell when he was being sincere or just appeasing him.

Knowing that Bo Jingyan wouldn’t force Xia Qingtian to abort the child while he was resting, Elder Bo no longer forced himself to stay awake but soon fell into a coma again and was taken to the ward by the doctors and nurses.

“Jingyan, talk to Qingqing calmly, stop being impulsive. Your grandfather cannot withstand such shocks anymore.”

Elder Lu advised earnestly, “I’m going to stay with old Bo in the ward, you two need to have a proper conversation.”

After saying this, he left, leaving the young couple alone.

Xia Qingtian didn’t want to be alone with Bo Jingyan. She was genuinely scared that he would force her into the operating room again to terminate her pregnancy.

Now, with Elder Bo in a coma, he wouldn’t be able to help her, and moreover…

She didn’t have the heart to involve the old man in this matter anymore, or cause him any further distress.

Xia Qingtian understood, now she could only save herself.

“Mr. Bo, I…I have something else to do, I need to leave!”

Without waiting for a response, she turned to escape from the hospital.

But how could Bo Jingyan possibly let her leave?

He gripped Xia Qingtian’s wrist tightly, “Come with me, I have something to tell you!”

“I won’t go! I don’t want to go!!!”

Xia Qingtian struggled fiercely, even grabbing the door handle of the ward, refusing to go with him.

He must want to take her into the operating room to continue the abortion.

She would rather die than go!

Bo Jingyan didn’t indulge her, he directly pried her fingers off the door handle. In order not to disturb the sleeping Elder Bo, he lifted her onto his shoulder.

Being carried like this by him, Xia Qingtian was too weak to struggle, her protests were in vain.

Cries for help fell on deaf ears, she felt utterly desperate.

After what felt like an eternity, she was finally put down.

Xia Qingtian looked around, realizing that Bo Jingyan had taken her to the hospital rooftop, not the operating room.

Though she didn’t know why, she didn’t want to fight anymore.

Xia Qingtian’s face crumbled into a rueful smile. Caressing her stomach, her voice choked with intense pain, “Alright, I agree to abort the child.”

At the same time, she whispered an apology to her unborn baby in her heart.

“Baby, I’m sorry, don’t blame your heartless mom, I’ve tried everything to protect you, but there’s no other way now.”

“I can’t act selfishly, harming the person who has been kindest to me just for your sake.”

Elder Bo can’t take any more stress, if she and Bo Jingyan continued their dispute, it would only worsen his condition.

For old Bo’s sake, she has conceded and decided not to resist anymore.

Looking at Xia Qingtian, looking as if she had lost all that she had treasured in the world, Bo Jingyan felt a pang of discomfort.

Even after hearing that Xia Qingtian was finally willing to abort the child in her stomach, it didn’t bring him any relief.

Realizing his softened attitude and concern towards Xia Qingtian, Bo Jingyan’s face turned even colder, “Xia Qingtian, stop pretending in front of me!”

Xia Qingtian was taken aback, not understanding his words.

She had agreed to get an abortion as he had asked, what more did he want?

“I do not understand what you’re saying!” Xia Qingtian whispered, her face pale.

“You surely heard during my conversation with grandpa that I promise not to harm you or the bastard in your stomach. So now you’re pretending that you’re willing to abort the child in front of me!”

Bo Jingyan mocked her, “I never noticed that you could also be so hypocritical.”

Xia Qingtian was stunned, apprehending his underlying meaning, but she didn’t dare believe it. She was afraid of experiencing greater disappointment if her hopes were too high.

She feared that she wouldn’t be able to bear it and forced herself to not overthink.

Moistening her lips, Xia Qingtian replied, “I thought you were just appeasing your grandfather.”

After all, Bo Jingyan had previously promised not to harm the child in her stomach and let her give birth. In the end, however, it was just to put her off guard.

Then, when she was least expecting it, he dragged her to the hospital to forcibly terminate her pregnancy.

“Do you think that if I abort the child in your belly now, grandpa will let me off the hook?” Bo Jingyan asked coldly.

Xia Qingtian took a step back, scared by his chilly demeanor, and cautiously asked, “Mr. Bo, what do you mean?”

Could it be what she had hoped for?

Bo Jingyan said coldly, “You heard what the doctor said earlier, the old man cannot take any more stress. For his health, I won’t force you to abort the bastard in your belly, and I have to hide his origin too. I can’t let grandpa know that the child in your belly is a bastard and has nothing to do with the Bo family.”

Xia Qingtian’s mind went blank for a moment.

It took her a while to process this, but she still found it hard to believe.

Only when she pinched herself hard enough to feel a sharp pain, she confirmed that it was real, and she wasn’t dreaming or hallucinating.

Tears welled up in Xia Qingtian’s eyes immediately.

Great!

She could finally keep the baby in her belly!

“Mr. Bo, thank you, thank you…” Xia Qingtian was so happy that she started crying. Although smiling, she couldn’t stop the tears from flowing.

Seeing her so joyful, a fleeting shadow passed over Bo Jingyan’s eyes.

So she really loved that man so much? Because she could keep their lovechild, she was so happy?

Considering this, Bo Jingyan clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, barely resisting the jealousy welling up inside him.

He warned Xia Qingtian coldly, “Xia Qingtian, you better keep up the façade about the bastard in your stomach. The moment grandpa finds out the truth, you can both die!”

Xia Qingtian stiffened, “I understand!”

No matter if it was for the dateMillie child in her stomach or Elder Bo, she would surely keep this a secret.

Otherwise, she would lose the two most important people to her on this earth at the same time.
