Chapter 486 - 486 487 Struggle (1)_1
?Chapter 486: Chapter 487: Struggle (1)_1 Chapter 486: Chapter 487: Struggle (1)_1 The news of her pregnancy was so shocking that Jing Haohao’s mind had seemingly gone blank as she emerged from the restroom. Her facial expressions appeared numb.
She breezed past Xian’er as if she was completely oblivious of her presence, and wordlessly made her way to the bedside. Moments later, she collapsed onto the bed without a sound.
Xian’er hurried to the bedside, asking concerned questions. But Jing Haohao didn’t utter a word in response. She simply pulled up the covers over her head, separating herself from the outside world.
In the hotel room, maintained at a constant twenty-seven degrees, Jing Haohao cocooned herself in the blanket. Soon, she was covered in sweat, but she didn’t seem to mind the discomfort and continued to lie there unmoving, staring into the darkness inside her narrow blanket cocoon.
After what seemed like an eternity, when Xian’er thought Jing Haohao had fallen into a deep sleep, Jing Haohao’s eyes shifted slightly and her mind slowly returned to consciousness.
She raised her hand and stroked her abdomen, which was still flat.
Yet, what lay within was utterly different. There was a vibrant life forming in her womb.
During the tumultuous times she had with Liang Chen, she had never planned for a child.
The twisted beginning of her relationship with Liang Chen was unlikely to result in a happy ending. As a woman, she would be the first to connect with the child. She would rather harm herself than draw an innocent life into their mess.
But unexpectedly, she was now pregnant.
This life had come into being without any preparations. What should she do?
Thinking of this, Jing Haohao, who had already been shocked by the pregnancy, began to feel heavy-hearted.
If she gave birth to this child, she and Liang Chen would inevitably be tangled up in this for the rest of their lives. She knew how high the Liang Family stood, and she, an insignificant lone woman, could never possibly step past their threshold.
Was she to let her child live a life hidden from the Liang Family, forever living in her shadow?
Yes, Chen could provide her and their child with a life of luxury that no one else could. But Chen was still young, and one day he would get married and have a wife and child of his own, accepted by others under the sun.
However, her child will always live in the shadows, just like her.
Even if Chen really acknowledged their child, what about her? She would still be alone, watching her own child addressing another woman as mother.
But what if she didn’t give birth to this child…
Almost instinctively, Jing Haohao gently pressed her tummy.
Women always say one thing and mean another. Before getting pregnant, she had been resolute, telling herself that if it happened, she would quietly have it taken care of.
But now, when the situation had actually arisen, she realized that the optimal solution felt difficult to execute.
