Chapter 688: A lie that will end in divorce" Nothing will happen to Chi," At that moment Yu Dong who was finally able to snap out of her daze as she looked at Wu Junfen who was holding her tightly. She hated to make this decision but she knew that she will have to make this choice for the sake of Fang Chi and her unborn child because if she did not then she will lose her child as well as her husband whom she promised to protect when she married him. She wiped the tears that were welling in her eyes and then turned to look at the three mers who looked like they were falling into the sea of despair, she understood what they were feeling at the moment because she too was feeling the same despair unlike them she was not worried about the new laws, in fact, she did not even pay attention to them. The only reason she was grieving for the death of her daughter was that she knew just how important that child was to Fang Chi. And Ye Liu was not wrong when he said that Fang Chi will die if he was to find out that his daughter was dead, even if he had a child in his womb, he will willingly kill himself because his self-esteem was low and even though she loved and respected him throughout their marriage, she knew that Fang Chi still blamed himself over the fact that she was forced in this marriage, she had never blamed him but he has silently blamed himself. If he finds out that he could not keep the daughter even if it was not his fault, he will die blaming himself for not being able to save his daughter and keep the child with him. She closed her eyes and sent an apology to her daughter, she was the wife, and in this world, as the dominant gender she will have to take care of the burdens of her husbands even when they felt like they were failing to hold on then she will have to hold on for their sake, for the time being, this information cannot be shared with Fang Chi. Not only because she was worried about him harming himself but also because she knew that if he found out that the child who died in his womb was a daughter then he will surely lose the mer in his womb as well. For the sake of the unborn child, she has to keep this information from Fang Chi, at least until he gives birth and the child comes safely into this world. Then…after Fang Chi was pass through the period that was known as post-pregnancy depression, she will tell him the truth. " Because there was no daughter, to begin with," Yu Dong heard Chen Mi gasp behind her as soon as she uttered those words that sounded so cruel as if someone was pouring hot glass in the ears of those who were listening. " There was only one child from the beginning and what Fang Chi went through was nothing but some spotting." As she said that Wu Junfen who knew that Yu Dong made her choice patted her granddaughter on the shoulder because she knew that even though Yu Dong's choice was cruel, it was the best at the moment because Fang Chi would break if he was to find out that his daughter was gone —— he was too fragile to take this information on. " Yu Dong, how can you! Brother Chi will never forgive you once he finds the truth!" Chen Mi understood Fang Chi too well, thus he knew that if Fang Chi finds out that Yu Dong hid the fact that he lost a daughter and kept it from him, he will surely hate Yu Dong even if he comes to forgive her…there was a chance that the two will separate in the future.
Because this was something that cannot be forgiven. Ye Liu thought the same as well because if he was in place of Fang Chi then he too will never forgive Yu Dong in fact he would even ask her to hand him their child and divorce because this was not any different from betraying Fang Chi. He was the father surely he had a right to decide whether the child should be kept or not as well? He immediately tried to stop Yu Dong, "Think about it Dong Dong, if you do this then Fang Chi might leave you…you might stop him now but what if he decides that he wants to go away with your child once he finds out the truth? He might be weak-willed but you know even a rabbit will bite when they are pushed into a corner." " Then who is going to tell him that the child is lost?" Yu Dong asked she did not refuse their words instead she simply asked the most basic question. The point was not whether or not Fang Chi will hate him or whether or not he will leave her. If he was willing to leave her then she will let him go as long as he stays alive but if he was to find the truth now —— will he stay strong? Will he save the mer instead of the daughter? Will he let her take out the daughter who was long dead? No, he won't instead he will beg her to let their daughter stay inside his womb even if knew he will die, he would rather cling to the one per cent hope that the child will survive then take the body of the stillborn out. Even if she was to tell him that the child was gone and no longer alive he will not listen to her. She let go of Wu Junfen and then turned to look at Ye Liu and Chen Mi who were now silent behind her. " As long as any of you promise that you will make Chi give up the stillborn willingly, I am willing to tell him the truth because honestly, I am not courageous enough to do that. So who is going to tell him? Hmm...?" —————- Don't want to read angst anymore?
