Chapter 835: He didn’t leave
"You mean you are going to abort the child no matter what?" Lu Yu was stunned when he heard Shen Zhen’s calm response. He knew what Shen Zhen said was the truth, but at the same time, he could not accept her calm attitude and rational thinking. Why? How could she not be the slightest bit unfazed after making such a decision? The child belonged to the two of them. He also had the right to make a decision when it came to Shen Zhen and her child!
"You are forgetting that you promised Boss Lei that you would take care of Bai Meiyue and her child. How can you be worthy of him? Have you forgotten that when Boss Lei fell into a coma, you were the one who promised the Lei family that you would protect the safe base and take care of Bai Meiyue and her child? Now that the situation is like this, you should start paying more attention to Bai Meiyue and her pregnancy."
"But that is our child!"
Unable to withstand how calm Shen Zhen was when they were talking about their child and abortion, Lu Yu was so angry that he was trembling. He clenched his two fists and looked at her as if he could not believe that she had actually hidden such a big thing from him. If only she had told him that she needed the medicines to prolong her pregnancy earlier instead of deciding everything on her own, then he could have saved the life of their child.
He breathed heavily as if willing to die on this hill, but then Shen Zhen shook her head and stated word by word, "You are underestimating how much Boss Lei cares about this child of his. Do you think that you can just act wantonly at the current moment? If something happens to Bai Meiyue, then he will never sit idly."
"Nothing will happen to Bai Meiyue. Her child is fine, and she is strong enough to protect herself and the child."
"So in the end you just want to leave everything on a pregnant woman and leave? Lu Yu, don’t forget that most of the mess that happened in the safe base is also due to your sister. You and your sister owe Bai Meiyue just as much as you owe Boss Lei. I will not say anything more, but you should think things through first."
Lu Yu was too muddleheaded. He could not even think about something so simple. It was not that she did not want to save their child, but was there a point in saving him or her? She, on the other hand, understood many things. Firstly, if Lu Yu left the safe base in such a situation, there was a good chance that he would cause the entire safe base to suffer a tragedy. Shen Zhen did not want her child to be the cause of danger befalling the safe base.
Lastly, even if they took a risk that was equivalent to ruining the entire safe base, what if their child did not survive? No one understood the current situation better than she did. She knew that her child was going to be premature. Even if he somehow survived, he would barely survive, and there wouldn’t be many survival chances for him.
"You are being unreasonable!"
"Go back and think about who is being unreasonable." Shen Zhen narrowed her eyes and looked at the man coldly. She did not care about the fact that Lu Yu was tangled. Instead, she got up from the chair and left him alone. Lu Yu watched her leave and lowered his head. Seeing Shen Zhen leave, he felt really heartbroken. How could she be so careless? She was treating her child as if he were a commodity that could be brought in or taken out as per her will.
At that moment, Lu Yu felt as if the world was filled with nothing but dread. He felt helpless, and there was nothing that could cheer him up.
He was not the only one who was feeling tangled at the moment. Bai Meiyue, who was sitting next to Lei Qian’s bed, was just as worried. She could not help but wonder how many of the ability users would leave with Lu Yu. Maybe all of them would want to leave with him; after all, most of the ability users were thinking about levelling up.
Fighting zombies was the perfect way to level up. Now that the situation had gotten more and more troubled with the zombies levelling up as well, she did not believe that Lu Yu would dare to go alone. He would definitely form a team with the strongest ability users. Though she said that she would be able to take care of the safe base, could she and her brothers deal with every danger that headed their way?
Bai Meiyue’s eyes flickered. If she were being honest, she knew that the ability users would definitely follow Lu Yu. It was better to stay at the safe base, but with most of them gone, they would be left with no one but the survivors. Was she going to push them to fight the zombies? No, this won’t do. She had to come up with another plan.
And that was not all; there was also her problem. She was nine months pregnant, and her braxton hicks were getting stronger and stronger with each passing day. Her legs were sore and tired because of the baby’s weight. With the current situation, she needed to rest more or else she would end up pushing her body into an early labour. But how?
How was she supposed to do it when everything was getting more and more out of control?
Slap!
Bai Meiyue raised her hands and slapped herself on both of the cheeks and shook her head, it was alright. There was no need for her to panic. She would deal with one thing at a time!
