What to do?

He was in a state of panic...

Lianshen was still unconscious in the hospital. How would he face the situation when he woke up?

Fu Qingshan had made him swear not to tell Mu Lianshen about it.

He knew Qingshan's intention. It was clear that Mu Lianshen's feelings for Fu Jingzhu were so deep that Qingshan feared that he might come to dislike the child because of this matter.

The child deserved to be cherished and cared for.

The Mu family was too complicated for the child to grow up in.

Yang Huaishu had agreed, which was why he hadn't dared to see Mu Lianshen for all these years.

But he never understood why, even if it was blood relation, one's own life should be less important.

Why say that the child was hard to come by? As long as Fu Jingzhu's body was cleared of the poison...

Having another child would not be a difficult task.

Yet, Fu Jingzhu had said back then, "Another child would not be this child... this child is unique."

Afterward, the Qingshan brothers moved them away and told him not to appear in front of them again.

He began to search for medicinal herbs all over the country, sending everything that might help Fu Jingzhu to the Fu family.

But she still passed away.

After the child was born, he went to visit once but was chased away by Qingshan...

Qingshan said it was all because of the Mu family.

The Mu family?

His own sister?

He felt guilty but also remembered Jingzhu's pulse at that time, his heart full of sympathy.

He looked at Fu Qingshan with a complex expression, asking, "Qingshan, the child..."

Fu Qingshan's eyes were filled with vigilance and defensiveness. He said, "Huaishu, I'm begging you—don't come here again. From now on, let's pretend we don't know each other. Whatever happens to the child has nothing to do with you..."

He felt a sense of inexplicable resignation but could not force his way in to prove anything.

He could only adhere to his agreement with Qingshan and no longer appear in front of them.

The child that Jingzhu had sacrificed her life to give birth to should be with the Fu family.

So Lianshen...

Yang Huaishu's eyes were filled with tears as he spoke softly, "Lianshen, there's nothing more to say."

"Uncle shouldn't have kept this from you, but after all, it was a promise to that child."

Mu Lianshen remained silent, his eyes already moist.

He collapsed weakly onto the floor, half leaning against the bed.

It was as if he were on the verge of breaking down.

Yang Huaishu got off the bed and sat at its edge, patting his shoulder gently, and said in a somber tone, "Lianshen, Jingzhu's greatest concern was always the child. Take good care of her..."

"And, Jingzhu said no less than three times that she didn't regret it."

After a long silence, Mu Lianshen suddenly looked up.
