Chapter 103 - Did not want
Yunfeng stood frozen, his breath caught in his throat as he watched the figure of Muchen disappear into the distance. His heart pounded in his chest, each beat echoing the words that had just shattered his world.
He wants it aborted...
The words reverberated in his mind, a cruel echo that refused to fade. His trembling hand instinctively moved to the gentle swell of his stomach, fingers brushing over the life growing within him. His eyes, wide and unseeing, stared down at the small bulge, a mix of disbelief and despair clouding his vision.
He... he doesn’t want our child.
The thought was a knife to his heart, twisting deeper with each passing second. His voice, barely a whisper, broke as he uttered the next words, the pain in them palpable.
Does he not want... me?
The world around him seemed to tilt, the ground beneath his feet unsteady. A group of children ran past, their laughter a stark contrast to the storm raging inside him. One of them bumped into him, jolting him from his thoughts. He stumbled, his legs giving way as he sank into a nearby chair. His hands gripped the edges of the seat, knuckles white, as he stared blankly at the bustling park around him.
No, he... he will come. I will have a talk with him.
He tried to convince himself, clinging to the faint hope that maybe, just maybe, Muchen would change his mind. He took a deep, shuddering breath, the scent of sushi from a nearby stall filling his nostrils. His stomach growled, a reminder of the life inside him, but the thought of food made him nauseous. How could he eat when his world was crumbling around him?
He waited.
And waited.
