The Wicked Wife 2

Chapter 249: "I Cannot Lose You"

"Of course I know. Do you really plan to hide the truth from me, Jennie?"

The slight tremble in his voice almost broke Jennie. The dam she held back was threatening to burst again. From the look on his face, Jennie knew. Why else would she find her husband like this if Lisa didn't know?

Guilt riddled on her face. This wasn't how she wanted to break the news to her husband.

She sobbed, tears now streaming down her face. She could feel her heart shattering at the sight of Lisa's appearance. This was the same broken man she'd seen when she was a wandering ghost. There was no doubt that Lisa was shit scared of the dreaded possibility.

"Darling, you have to calm down. It's not the end of the world yet, sweetheart." Jennie beckoned him to come to her, but he didn't move from where he was seated.

Lisa looked at her with a pained expression on his face.

"You're pregnant." His tone was more like an accusation in her ears.

"Yes." Jennie didn't deny the truth from him. It was pointless to lie to him, when she knew he went out to seek the details he needed.

"I spoke with Han Zijun." He said, not breaking his gaze on her.

"And what options did he give you?"

"He said that the poison on your body would take time to take effect, but it's best if he could treat you as soon as possible. However, the treatments are harmful to our baby and it might trigger the poison to act harshly and kill it in the process."

Without the treatment, the poison would slowly eat her body from the inside, just like what happened in the past. The cold poison was already spreading, which meant that Jennie had had it for some time now, and she didn't know.

His eyes shimmered with tears. Lisa felt breathless. How could their lives suddenly turn upside down? They were doing fine weren't they?

"You aren't going to die, Jennie. I won't let you. I cannot…" His voice trailed off, but Jennie understood what he was trying to say.

Lisa said no more. His body shook as he sobbed. He was given a tough choice of letting go of her or their unborn child, and he was stuck in a conundrum. He felt a pair of arms around him and found that Jennie had come to him instead and held him.

"I'm so sorry for putting you in a difficult situation. I didn't mean for any of this to happen." Her voice cracked. "You know that as much as I love you, I love our child as much. I can't…"

Lisa cried more. Just thinking of killing his baby was like a painful stab in his chest, but it was either their baby or his Jennie. He knew very well that he couldn't live without her and he didn't want to experience losing her all over again.

"It's going to be okay, Lisa."

"No, Jennie. It won't be!"

that she had already come to love the child and if he dared to force her to terminate this pregnancy, it would break her apart. Jennie would never forgive him, and she would end up hating him. She would see him as the monster he was, just like everyone else.

But which was worse for him? To be hated by her and knowing that she would live, or allow her to give birth to their child, only for her life to perish?

Others would say that they couldn't imagine a life without their other half, but Lisa knew how it would be and he refused to experience that hell all over again.

"It's not going to be okay!" He cried into his wife's shoulder, clutching onto her as if he was afraid that he would lose her.

Why was the heavens punishing him—them, like this?
