Chapter 292: Pregnant

At last, Song Wan and Mrs. Li met each other’s eyes, and they released their hands at the same time.

The doctor placed his hands behind his back worried that someone might grab him again. Then, he turned his attention to the two women. “You may rest assured that Mrs. Chu is fine. Also, I would like to congratulate you. Mrs. Chu is one-month pregnant. Perhaps, because of the baby, she had been feeling emotional. Please do not stimulate her any further. It won’t do her or her baby any good.”

“Pregnant?” The two families were shocked. They could not believe the news. This was what they had been waiting for the past four years—a grandchild. They all thought they would have to wait for a long time. This was unexpected, and they had to find out in such a situation.

The two women were overcome with joy. Even Chu Jiang was smiling as though he could picture an adorable child calling him ‘Grandpa’. He turned his body away from the rest as he felt his eyes tearing up. He had waited for this for a very long time. Finally, after four years, his wish was granted.

A child of the Chu family. This was great news.

Only Chu Lui. He was appalled when he heard the news.

He stood up and was not sure what he was supposed to be feeling. He had obviously been looking forward to having a child of his own. However, he did not feel as excited as he had imagined. On the contrary, he was depressed that he would be having a child. Li Manni and his child.

“Oh, yes.” The doctor continued, “As for now, Mrs. Chu is still feeling emotional. So, try to do as she wishes for the time being. Do not let her exert herself.”

Everyone made a mental to remember that, including Chu Lui.

He entered the ward. Li Manni was still sleeping. There was no improvement in her complexion. In fact, she looked worse. He sat carefully and put her hand under the blanket. Maybe it was due to the commotion, she woke with a scare.

Li Manni grabbed Chu Lui’s hand. Streaks of tears fell as she blinked her eyes. “Lui, don’t go. Don’t…” She was holding onto his hand with dear life as she cried. Everyone was at a loss.

“Ah Lui, what is she talking about? What ‘don’t go’? Don’t go where?” Song Wan edged closer to him cautiously, worried hurting Li Manni. Now, her daughter-in-law was not alone. She was carrying the grandchild of the Chu family.

Chu Lui held Li Manni’s hand down, but he dared not exert too much force on her.

He closed his eyes and opened them. “She does not want me to save that child. She worries something bad might happen during the operation.”

Song Wan was visibly stunned, and she was at a loss for words. They knew about that child, and they agreed and supported Chu Lui’s decision. Besides, the operation would be done by a renowned specialist in the country. He had also said that it was a minor surgery, and it would not affect Chu Lui’s health. However, why was Li Manni so adamant about objecting?

“Ah Lui, just do whatever she wants. Have you forgotten what the doctor just said? Do not aggravate her.” Mrs. Li chimed in anxiously. She was also worried. It concerned her daughter and maternal grandchild. Naturally, she was worried.

“It’s like this, Mrs. Li.” Song Wan was having difficulty trying to find the right words.

“Ah Lui has decided to save a three-year-old girl. She has contracted an illness, and Ah Lui’s bone marrow happens to be a match for her. A date has been scheduled for the operation. For fear of overexposure affecting the operation, it has been kept on a very low-profile.”
