Chapter 129: the Child needs to be removed

Su Mianmian tried to take out her phone from her pocket. She wanted to call someone, but after she took out her phone, it fell to the ground. The phone was quite a distance away from her, and she couldn't reach it at all. Was she going to sleep in the yard like this? She took a deep breath with tears in her eyes. She felt tired all over and her mind was a mess.

The mastiff picked up the phone with its mouth, and ran out of the yard while wagging its tail.

Lu Xiangdong was on the top floor office of the NEPC International Airlines, getting ready to leave the office. He still had a meeting later. The assistant pushed the door open and said anxiously, "CEO Lu, Stewardess Su's dog is here."

He looked up at the assistant and frowned, "Stewardess Su's dog?"

The dog was pacing around the lobby downstairs. It seemed to be looking for CEO Lu. The employees were so afraid of the dog that they didn't want to go near it.

"The mastiff came to look for you, CEO Lu. It refused to leave the lobby downstairs." The assistant wiped his sweat.

Lu Xiangdong put aside the documents he was holding and left the office behind the assistant.

When he came out of the elevator, he scanned his surroundings. The mastiff immediately pounced on him with Su Mianmian's phone in its mouth.

Lu Xiangdong squatted down and reached out to take the phone. He looked at it and asked, "Su Mianmian's phone? Why is it with you? Where is she?"

"AWOOO!" The mastiff raised its front legs and barked anxiously.

Lu Xiangdong held the leash around its neck, and let it lead the way. Had Su Mianmian encountered danger?

Amongst his worry, he had completely forgotten about what had happened this morning. But he didn't care. The most important thing now was to find Su Mianmian.

"Mastiff, where is Su Mianmian?" The mastiff ran ahead, barking towards where she was.

"Su Mianmian is at home?" Lu Xiangdong quickly understood what the mastiff meant.

He quickly got the mastiff into the car. Hadn't Su Mianmian gone to work? Why was she at home? Wasn't the dog already back with Ouyang Que? Why was it suddenly here?

He drove to the villa. Lu Xiangdong quickly turned off the engine and got out as soon as he arrived.

The mastiff jumped out and howled.

Lu Xiangdong followed the mastiff and saw her lying on the ground in front of him. Her eyes were closed and she looked very pale. He hurried forward and picked her up from the ground.

"Su Mianmian, wake up."

Su Mianmian leaned her head on his chest. She was breathing weakly. Her face was as white as paper.

Lu Xiangdong carried her into the car. He told the mastiff, "You stay at home. We'll be back soon. Don't run around."

The mastiff lay on the ground and cried, "Ow, ow." It was worried about Su Mianmian.

Su Mianmian was sent to the hospital's resuscitation room.

Lu Xiangdong looked worried and nervous. He did not know what was going on with her. A normal person wouldn't just suddenly faint.

A few minutes passed, and there was still no sign of anything happening. He stood in the hospital corridor and waited quietly.

Another ten minutes had passed when the door of the resuscitation room suddenly opened. A doctor came out, but Su Mianmian was not with him. Lu Xiangdong went up to greet him.

"Doctor, how is my wife's condition?"

The doctor took off his mask and glanced at him. He felt that he should probably talk to him in his office. This matter concerned the life of this young lady.

"Come into my office. Let's talk in private."

Lu Xiangdong's heart instantly jumped. Did she have a serious illness? He followed the doctor into his office.

"President Lu, please take a seat."

Lu Xiangdong told him not to be so polite, he wanted to talk about Su Mianmian.

"President Lu, we can only save one. The *****, or the child."

He looked at the doctor in disbelief.

"You- are you saying that my wife is pregnant?"

The doctor nodded. "She is already half a month pregnant, but her situation is not very optimistic. She fainted because she has a congenital heart disease, and it's affecting the pregnancy. My suggestion is to have an abortion as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more complications there will be during the surgery."

Lu Xiangdong's heart sank. He had just learned that he was going to be a father, yet he could not be joyful because Su Mianmian could not stay pregnant.

"Doctor, if she wanted to give birth to the child, what would be the risk?" He was afraid that Su Mianmian would not be able to accept having the child aborted.

"I don't recommend taking this risk. CEO Lu, you should discuss this with your wife. My suggestion is for your reference only." The doctor did not want her to risk her life.

Lu Xiangdong clenched his fists. Of course, he wanted to abort the child. After all, he did not want Su Mianmian to be in any danger.

When he came out of the doctor's office, a nurse came to inform him that Su Mianmian had been sent to the ward to rest. He could visit her later.

Lu Xiangdong walked towards the ward where Su Mianmian was resting.

Su Mianmian was in a coma-like sleep. She breathed steadily. He was very quiet, afraid that he would disturb her.

He pulled a chair over and sat next to her bed. He pressed her hand to his face and looked at her face with a pained gaze.

The assistant called and asked where he was.

He told the assistant to cancel his meetings. He wouldn't be able to attend them today.

The assistant asked, "CEO Lu, did something happen?"

He asked the assistant to send some food to the hospital. He told the assistant the hospital address and also asked the assistant to keep this matter a secret. He didn't want Lu Wenzhong to hear about it. Lu Wenzhong would definitely ask Su Mianmian to give birth to the child.

The assistant asked with concern, "CEO Lu, are you sick?"

"No." Lu Xiangdong did not want to talk too much over the phone, so he hung up.

When Su Mianmian woke up, she found herself sleeping in an unfamiliar bed. All she could smell was medicine. When she lowered her head, she found Lu Xiangdong lying beside her. He had been guarding her bed the whole night without being able to rest himself. It was almost dawn.

She went to touch him, but she realized that she did not have the strength to lift her hand. Her throat was dry. What was wrong with her?

"You're awake?" Lu Xiangdong lifted his head and held her hand.

"Why am I in the hospital? I think I fainted earlier."

"Just rest. I asked the assistant to send over some food. You need to eat." He decided not to tell her about the child or the heart disease yet. He did not want her to be agitated the moment she woke up.

However, she knew something was wrong, guessing from his tone and expression.

She grabbed his wrist. "Am I sick?"

"No- no, you're fine." He saw her lips tremble slightly and quickly squatted down to hug her.

Su Mianmian eyes welled up. She guessed that he must know that she was pregnant. Besides that, was he hiding something from her?

"Lu Xiangdong, don't hide things from me. I want to know the situation."

He sighed and gently pushed her away. While looking at her red eyes, he held her hand and repeated what the doctor had said before. "The doctor said that you're pregnant, but your body is not suitable for pregnancy. He suggested that you abort the child."

Su Mianmian shook her head. That was impossible. She had always been very healthy. How could she not be suitable for pregnancy?

"What illness do I have? Why can't I stay pregnant? Tell me!" She grabbed his hand.

He answered truthfully, "Heart disease. I'm worried that the child and you are in danger so-"

She muttered to herself and let go of his hand. "Impossible, impossible..." She turned around and lay the bed, crying secretly.

Lu Xiangdong had expected her to be sad, but her life was more important.

"Su Mianmian." He tried to calm her down. If she insisted on having the child, it was very likely that she would die.

"Don't try to persuade me. I won't abort the child."

"You heard that I-"

"I don't want to hear, I don't want to hear!" She covered her ears. Tears flowed down her face.

He pulled her hands away from her ears. "If you insist on giving birth, you might die. I don't want anything to happen to you. If I have to make a choice between you and the child, then I would rather not have this child. Do you understand? I hope that you can stay by my side."

She cried until her entire body trembled. This was their only child, yet she had to kill it mercilessly. She could not bear to part with it.

"Lu Xiangdong, perhaps nothing will happen. Let me give birth to it."

He shook his head. Why was she so stubborn.

"This matter cannot be discussed. The child cannot be kept. People with heart disease can't get pregnant."

"Then I will not be able to have a child for the rest of my life? Why are you still standing here? You don't want to marry a woman who is unable to have a child, right? Are you crazy?"

He hugged her. "You can't have this child. It doesn't mean that you won't be able to have children in the future."

"If I get rid of this child, I won't be able to have children in the future. Do you still want me? A woman who can't have children?" She pushed him away and sat in a sorry state. She looked empty. Tears flowed down her cheeks.
