“So now you pity me?” Mick said.
“What?” Nancy was taken aback.
“Pity or moved? Because I plan to die with you, so you generously tell me you love me?” Mick sneered,
“Nancy, I want your love, but I’m not so desperate for pity or being moved! And…”
He walked step by step to the bedside, looking down at her, “Now, I don’t even expect you to really love me anymore.”
Without expectations, there is no pain.
Perhaps their relationship was a mistake from the beginning.
Even during the time they were together, she kept saying she liked him, but she never had real feelings for him.
And now, she was willing to sacrifice her life to save the child, but she wouldn’t listen to his advice and wouldn’t think about him at all.
All he could do was accept her decision and then, when she closed her eyes forever, accompany her into the afterlife.
Nancy’s pupils suddenly shrank, as if she couldn’t believe what she had just heard!
He no longer expected… he really no longer expected anything from her?
So, is she one step behind again?
Just like before, she had planned to confess to using him, but he found out first, leaving her with no chance to explain.
And now, it’s the same thing again.
Why is she always like this? One step slow, slow step by step.
“If what you have to say to me is just this, then I’ve heard it. I’m going back now, you rest well.” He said, turning around. “Also, whatever decision you make, I’ll accept it, so you don’t have to worry or say anything against your will.”
Against her will?
Nancy was stunned. Did he think that her words of love were against her will?
Did he still not believe that she truly loved him?
Were they going to continue this misunderstanding between them?
She didn’t want to be one step behind anymore. She didn’t want to be slow anymore!
Just as Mick was about to leave, Nancy suddenly grabbed his clothes. “Don’t go!”
“If I stay here any longer, we might have another argument. What you need most now is rest. Whatever decision you make, you can talk to your doctor about it.” Mick said, trying to pull his clothes away from
Nancy’s grip.
But her hand held onto his clothes even tighter. “Don’t go, Mick, please don’t go…please!”
Her pleading voice, with obvious choking, made Mick’s body suddenly stiffen.
“I love you, and I want to live with you and our child… I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I underestimated your love for me, and I was too arrogant, thinking that your love for me wasn’t that deep!”
She kept apologizing, tears rolling down her cheeks.
“I’m not saying this out of pity or because I’m moved. I love you. When we separated, I had already fallen in love with you. It’s just that at that time… I was too slow to tell you about my feelings for you!”
Nancy murmured, “And now, I’m still too slow. I’m sorry for not telling you earlier that I love you. I don’t just care about our child. I’m just… not sure how long I’ll live, so I’m afraid to express my feelings to you. If i had known that you loved me so much, I…”
More and more tears streamed down her face, blurring her vision.
He looked at her tear-streaked face and listened to her choked voice telling him how much she loved him.
Was he dreaming again?
Was he still in a dream, hearing such beautiful words from her?
But the tears he touched with his fingers were so warm and wet, so real!
“Do you really… love me?” Mick wiped Nancy’s tears with his fingers, bent down, and looked at her straight in the eye.
“Yes, I love you very much. That’s why I don’t want to watch you die with me no matter what. I will live, with you and our child!” Nancy said, taking the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him.
She loved him so much that words alone couldn’t express it.
She could only use this kiss to tell him how deep her feelings for him were.
Her feelings for him started with guilt and using him, but unconsciously, they turned into liking and love.
She was willing to jump off the cliff not just because of her guilt, but also because she wanted to repay him.
More than anything, it’s because she loves him!
She didn’t want him to be caught in a dilemma, burdened with guilt. She wanted to help him protect his loved ones, so she could jump off the cliff without any regrets!
“Mick, I love you!” She kissed him deeply and repeated those words over and over again.
Her breath was on his nose, and her warmth was on his lips.
He was completely enamored.
“If you ever lie to me again, I will never forgive you,” he said hoarsely.
“I won’t, I won’t lie to you again!” She whispered.
All her doubts and struggles were put aside. In this moment, she and he were so intimate.
Their hearts had never been so close.
She thought that for the rest of her life, she would be entangled with this man. They would accompany each other, grow old together, and love each other forever…
In the end, Nancy followed the doctor’s advice and had a caesarean section at 32 weeks to save both the baby and herself.
Although she felt guilty about the decision she made for her unborn child.
The doctor comforted her, “With the advancement of medical technology, premature babies born at 8
months can be very healthy with proper treatment and care. However, once the baby is born, you will need. to undergo surgery immediately, which is the biggest challenge.”
Yes, the biggest challenge is after the child is born!
Because her body is just dragging along now, this body is actually full of holes!
The night before the C-section, Nancy tossed and turned.
Although the Reed family found the best doctors, medical team, and equipment for her.
The success rate of the surgery is very high.
But even if the success rate is high, there is still a possibility of failure. If it fails, then she…
“What’s wrong? Can’t sleep?” A low voice sounded in the ward.
A figure had already walked to her bedside.
Nancy looked at Mick. During this time, he had been guarding her bedside, and even dealt with some work matters in her ward.
“Hmm, I can’t sleep a little.” Nancy said.
“Are you worried about tomorrow’s surgery?” Mick said.
The surgery after tomorrow’s delivery is a struggle for Nancy.
“It’s not just the surgery, but also the baby.” Nancy said, “I don’t know how the child will develop after being born tomorrow, whether they can breathe on their own.”
“The medical team has already been fully equipped, and various problems have been anticipated.
Nothing will happen.” Mick said, “Don’t think too much. Your most important task now is to rest well.”
Nancy also knew that Mick was right. She needed to rest well and be in good spirits to face tomorrow, but…
“Mick, if my surgery doesn’t go smoothly tomorrow, if something unexpected happens to me, live well and take care of our baby, like this…”
Before she could finish her words, he stopped her by placing his finger on her lips.
“There won’t be any unexpected situations,” he said.
then you must
“There’s always a chance of something happening, I’m just saying in case…”
“There won’t be any such cases,” he interrupted her again.
That possibility was too heavy for him to bear.
Nancy hesitated and bit her lip. “I’m just afraid…”
“No matter what happens, the child will live well, grow up, and the Reed family will give this child enough care and love. You don’t need to worry about anything,” Mick sighed.
Nancy’s eyelashes trembled. She reached out and hugged Mick, burying her face in his arms.
He said “the Reed family” instead of himself.
In other words, if her surgery really did have an accident, he would still be with her until death, as he had said before.
Even if their child was born, he would not cling to this world for the sake of the child.
“Why bother…” Nancy couldn’t say anything more because she didn’t know what to say.
“My choice won’t change, Nancy. I didn’t persuade you before, so don’t try to persuade me now, okay?”
Nancy took a deep breath and listened to his strong heartbeat in her ear.
“I can definitely make it through, I will!”
She couldn’t guarantee anything else, but at least she could guarantee that her will to survive was stronger than anyone else’s!
Nancy’s caesarean section went smoothly. The doctor only took five minutes to quickly remove the fetus, followed by rapid suturing and then the next surgery.
