"You don't need to say any more. No matter what you say, I won't believe it. The child I believe in is healthy. I am the baby's mother, and I know him best!" Ye Wan said impatiently.
After hearing his words, she lost her appetite. Looking at the bowl of noodles in front of her, she felt disgusted. Angrily, she pushed the noodles back in front of him and said, "Eat it, and then leave!"
With that, she got up and walked towards the bedroom, intending to take a bath and rest. Although she hadn't done much, her pregnant body tired easily. Now, all she wanted was to finish eating and sleep, but he had ruined her appetite.
Gu Yun Ting stood up, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her back. "Eat before you go!"
"I'm not hungry. Let go of me!" Ye Wan pushed him away angrily.
Gu Yun Ting held onto her, unwilling to let go. He truly didn't want to let her go; for her, he never wanted to let go. He had thought he was going to die, so he had cruelly pushed her away. He had already made arrangements for her life after his supposed demise.
He would give her his entire inheritance and have Jin Lan protect her at all times. He would tell her that after he got married, he would go abroad and never return. This way, she wouldn't be sad about his death and would eventually forget him, starting a new life.
But now that he knew there was still a sliver of hope for his survival, he couldn't bear it. He wanted to see her, hold her, and continue to have her!
"Ye Wan, take good care of yourself! Don't you want a child?" Gu Yun Ting compromised. Even if the child wasn't healthy, as long as she wanted it, he would be with her. No matter what the child looked like when it was born, it would be his treasure.
"What business is it of yours whether I want a child or not? Hurry up and leave. Please, can you just stop appearing in front of me? Your presence only makes me more miserable!" Ye Wan looked at the man in front of her with immense pain.
She truly hated him. This man was too good at tormenting her. She had already followed his wishes, exited his life, divorced him, and decided to raise their child on her own. She had returned his ring, severing all ties. She was trying hard to move on and live her own life, so why did he insist on appearing before her, causing her such distress?
"..." Gu Yun Ting didn't know how to explain. Should he tell her he was only poisoned and pushed her away because he thought he wouldn't live? Should he explain that she was also poisoned, he gave her the only antidote, and was waiting to die, which was why he had to push her away? He couldn't bring himself to do it.
"I'm sorry. You need to be well." Gu Yun Ting said, preparing to leave. He hadn't obtained the antidote yet, and everything was still uncertain. There was hope, and the chance of him getting the antidote was high, but what if? He dared not gamble. Even if there was the slightest possibility of her falling back into the abyss of pain, he didn't want it.
Ye Wan was truly angry. She pushed him away forcefully, frowning at him, tears welling up uncontrollably. "What exactly do you want? I'll be fine without you. Even if it's painful, I'll live my own life. Why do you keep appearing in front of me? What are your intentions?"
"I'm sorry." Gu Yun Ting had nothing else to say but apologies.
"I don't need your apology. Right now, I only want to ask you, what do you mean? Do you love me or not?" Ye Wan was being driven crazy by him. She didn't understand why he had done all those things that seemed so inexplicable to her.
