Chapter 4
My tears had almost run dry.
Over and over, I cried out, "I'm sorry, Mom, I was wrong!"
I shouldn't have married Lu Jingchuan; I shouldn't have fallen in love with him!
But nothing could be undone. I could only watch as my mother wept and begged Lu Jingchuan for mercy.
Lu Jingchuan seemed taken aback but quickly sneered, "I'll spare you, but only if you meet my simple condition—just have Zhou Nan come out and donate bone marrow."
From the beginning, Song Wanwan had been hiding in the back, watching. Now, she sniffled and said, "Yes, Auntie, all I want is for Nan Nan to donate bone marrow for me. Although her child couldn't be saved, mine can be born safely."
"I'll even have my child recognize her as their honorary aunt!"
Before my wife was born, I had such high hopes.
I never expected everyone to think this child could be discarded so easily.
Alas, both I and my child have left this world!
That child won't have to see this ugliness!
Suddenly, Shen Jin'an began to laugh while lying on the ground: "Lu Jingchuan, even in the afterlife, Nan Nan can't find peace because of you!"
"You never believed she was dead, did you? I've been searching for proof these past few days."
"Now, open my phone. My colleague should have sent her electronic death certificate!"
Lu Jingchuan halted, suspiciously eyeing Shen Jin'an.
Seeing Shen Jin'an's confident demeanor, he scoffed, picked up Shen Jin'an's phone, unlocked it, and glanced at it.
With just one look, the cold and disdain on Lu Jingchuan's face vanished, replaced by shock and doubt.
The color drained from his lips, leaving them pale, and his body trembled slightly, as if he had seen something terrifying.
In the end, his hand shook, and the phone fell, shattering into pieces.
Lu Jingchuan's voice was filled with disbelief: "Impossible! How could this be—"
The death certificate on the phone screen was glaringly obvious.
Lu Jingchuan's eyes turned red, and he grabbed Shen Jin'an by the throat carelessly: "You forged this, didn't you? You're lying to me, aren't you?"
Shen Jin'an's breath was weak, but his face carried a mocking expression: "The seal on a death certificate can't be faked. Face the reality!"
"Nan Nan really is dead! She died during childbirth to bring your child into the world!"
Lu Jingchuan knew that forgery was impossible.
He just didn't want to believe it, didn't want to accept that the person who had always been by his side without complaint would never appear again.
"And the child... "
"My child, where is it?"
Lu Jingchuan took a few steps back, then, as if remembering something, suddenly raised his head and stared at Shen Jin'an.
Shen Jin'an's hand was still bleeding, but he didn't care to stand up and bandage it.
"That child is dead too! I buried the body myself!" Shen Jin'an cried and laughed, as if in a frenzy, "The child's body was so small, so cold... "
"He probably never expected his father to be such a cold and heartless person!"
I also remembered the child.
When I was just pregnant, Lu Jingchuan had gently stroked my belly, saying, "This child is destined for happiness."
But later, this eagerly anticipated child became tragically lost!
Lu Jingchuan seemed struck by lightning and couldn't help but step back a few paces.
Seeing the situation turn dire, Song Wanwan quickly grabbed Lu Jingchuan's sleeve, "Jingchuan, I'm also saddened by Nan Nan and her child's death. But don't forget, I'm pregnant too... "
Lu Jingchuan paused, his expression softened.
"Lu Jingchuan, this woman is a liar!"
"Everything she said is a deception! Whether it's about supporting you after your parents died or about being ill and pregnant!"
Shen Jin'an directed his fury towards Song Wanwan, his eyes blazing with anger.
Song Wanwan felt wronged and shed tears, "Jingchuan, don't you want to believe me?"
It had always been like this; whenever she cried, Jingchuan would stand by her unconditionally.
But this time, Lu Jingchuan's expression was uncertain.
He said, "We'll find out who is lying soon enough."
