Aborting the baby was the best choice, but she chose to take a risk. Was she so confident that he would not let anything happen to her and would willingly donate his liver to her again?
Kyla became somewhat uneasy from Martin Weiss’s gaze.
“Is there… something on my face?”
“No, and you’re not who I want to protect. It’s the baby you’re carrying,” he said against his conviction.
It was as if he did not want to admit that he would always be overwhelmed whenever he saw her pained look, especially when her belly was hurting.
It was as if he wished he could endure the pain on her behalf.
‘What’s wrong with me?’ Martin Weiss secretly asked himself. Was even hypnosis unable to erase his love because the love was too deep?
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became awkward.
Fortunately, the doctor and nurse in the ambulance eased the atmosphere by asking Kyla if she had any discomfort.
When the car arrived in Emerald City, Kyla was taken to Municipal Women’s Hospital for a series of tests.
As soon as the test reports came out, the specialists were already waiting for the consultation session.
Kyla did not know that Martin Weiss would also be attending the consultation with the specialists.
When she was wheeled back to the ward by the nurse, she saw her mother and Nelson, whom she had not seen for days.
Mrs. Corbyn’s eyes reddened at the sight of the state her daughter was in.
“Mom, don’t worry. There are so many specialists working together to treat me. It’ll be okay,” said Kyla as she comforted her mother.
She was not sure either. She had no idea whether she could survive this, but she did not want her mother to be upset.
“Mommy, are you sure you’re going to be okay?” Nelson Corbyn’s little face was grave. His eyes which were similar to hers were full of worry.
Looking at her son, Kyla only felt that Nelson was becoming increasingly like Martin Weiss apart from his eyes, which were similar to hers.
Kyla smiled and said, “I’ll be alright for you and Grandma. When your sibling is born, will you help me take good care of them, Nelson?”
Nelson Corbyn nodded his little head sternly. “I’ll take good care of my sibling.”
Kyla smiled with relief.
At night, Mrs. Corbyn had left with Nelson Corbyn. Kyla fell asleep on the hospital bed.
The single-room VIP ward was silent.
Just then, someone pushed the door open and walked into the ward.
Looking at Kyla sound asleep, Martin Weiss suddenly found it ironic. She was sleeping peacefully, while he was sleepless because of her.
He attended the consultation session and had a better understanding of how dangerous her situation was.
If she did not have a liver transplant immediately after giving birth, her liver would fail much faster than normal. She might not even last a year.
‘A year? Does this woman only have a year to live?’
When he heard the specialists’ diagnosis during the consultation today, he felt a chill washing over him.
‘If she no longer exists in this world, what… what should I do?” His heart was contracting furiously as if it were sinking into a bottomless icy pond. The feeling continued to linger.
It hurt again…
Martin Weiss’s hand instantly covered his heart. ‘Why is my heart hurting again? How much do I love this woman that it’s so painful even now?’
Martin Weiss hit his heart repeatedly as if to distract himself from the physical pain…
Kyla had no idea how long she slept, but she seemed to have a vague feeling that she was being watched in her sleep.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Martin Weiss sitting on the couch on one side of the ward. His dark eyes were staring straight at her.
Kyla shuddered and slowly propped herself up. “What… are you doing here?” She glanced out of the window and saw that it was still dark. It was obvious that it was not dawn yet.
He continued to stare at her in silence, his thin lips pressing together tightly.
She bit her lip uneasily. “If you’re worried about the baby in my belly, I can promise you that I’ll try my best to drag it out as long as possible. Unless the doctor says I have to have a C-section, I’m not going to give birth to them prematurely. I know that every day they stay inside my belly increases their chances of survival.”
She said that to reassure Martin Weiss.
However, Martin Weiss’s face grew more solemn.
‘Doesn’t this woman know that every day the baby is inside. her increases the danger she’ll be in?’
“Kyla, do you think I’ll save you no matter what happens to you and that I’ll take the risk for you no matter how dangerous it is for you to give birth to this baby?” Martin Weiss’s voice rang in the silent ward.
She looked at him gently before shaking her head. “No, I’ve never thought of it that way. Martin Weiss, you don’t need to take any risks for me. I know it’s risky to have this baby, but it’s my choice, and I’ll bear the consequences.”
“You’ll bear the consequences?” He suddenly sneered as he got up from the couch and rushed to her hospital bed. “What kind of consequences do you think you can bear?”
She realized that his eyes were scarlet red. “What happened to your eyes?” She reached out her hand to touch his eyes.
However, he grabbed her hand. I’m asking you, how are you going to bear the consequences?”
His hand gripped hers so hard that it hurt. It felt as though his hand was made out of steel.
Kyla frowned with pain and tried to answer calmly, “With my life. My life is the only thing I can use to bear the consequences.”
However, her statement made the pain in Martin Weiss’s chest worse.
She spoke so lightly of her life. Then… “What about your mother? And Nelson? Have you ever wondered what will happen to them if anything happens to you?”
And even… me! What will become of me if she’s gone?!
However, he did not utter the last sentence.
“I know that… I have no choice but to take this bet. After all, the baby in my belly is still a human life,” said Kyla.
“Bet? What if you lose the bet? Are you going to leave your mother with two children to raise?” he asked sarcastically.
“I’ve been keeping my mother’s pension money all these years. I’ve also told Grace and Lina to help me take care of my mother if anything happens to me. As for the two children… I don’t think you’ll ignore them. Of course, my mother, Grace, and Lina will also help raise them if you refuse to raise them,”
said Kylo.
From her calm voice, it seemed that she had already prepared herself for life and death. Even if she was reluctant, she had calmly arranged the future of her loved ones.
However, the calmer she was, the angrier he became.
“Do you think it’s worth sacrificing your life for a child’s?” He growled.
She said with a wry smile, “I don’t know. It’s hard to say if it’s worth it. But as a mother, I want to try my best to protect my children.”
Therefore, she chose to keep the baby even though she knew she would be in danger.
“Yeah, you don’t know. There’s so much you don’t know.” He suddenly released his hand and looked condescendingly at her. He stared at her darkly. “Kyla, don’t think I’ll risk my life to save you again even if you’re really in danger one day. I don’t love you anymore.”
“Yeah, I know that.” She smiled nonchalantly. “I hope you won’t save me even if I’m in danger one day.
Just live a good life.”
It was her biggest hope. She only wanted him to live a good life.
