151 Lu Tianxin's Grievances 1
Her cousin had been silent for so long about her son's father, and now, she was confessing that the boy wasn't even hers in the first place? Just what the hell happened to Lu Tianxin and Ye Yii eight years ago?
Lu Tianxin lowered her head and sobbed, hot tears streaming down her face. She wiped it with the back of her hand and sniffed. For the longest ti, she'd hidden the truth from everyone, for fear that the Ye family would take Luo Luo away from her.
Luo Luo might not have co from her, but he was her son. The only reason she kept going even though life was hard for a single mother like her. People always had sothing to say about her raising a child alone without knowing the truth.
She decided to share this with Tang Moyu and her friends now because she knew she might need help. There's no point keeping it to herself. She can never hide it forever anyway. Her reunion with Ye Xiaozu wasn't sothing she was prepared for and she didn't know how to explain the circumstance to him without making him feel bad about it.
"That's right. He's my son, but he didn't co from ." Her lips quivered as she rembered those painful mories that brought her and Luo Luo together. "Luo Luo is Sister Yii's child, but I am his mother on legal papers."
Tang Moyu considered the situation. If what Feng Tianyi said about Ye Xiaoting was true, Luo Luo's life would be at risk if he lived under his grandfather's custody. The empress's eyes hardened, mouth flattened at the thought.
"Bastard," she muttered to herself.
"Ye Yii gave her child for you to raise? Who else knows of this?" She asked. Was this the reason why Tianxin wasn't comfortable about eting Ye Xiaozu?
Tang Moyu initially suspected that Ye Xiaozu fathered Lu Tianxin's son, but she never imagined that the boy her cousin was raising wasn't even her own flesh and blood. Lu Tianxin faced her whole family's ire when she suddenly ca ho with a child, keeping mum about the father of her baby, even to her parents.
Lu Tianxin then slowly narrated the events that happened eight years ago. From the mont she found out that she could never conceive a child of her own to how she took Yi Yii in after her father kicked her out of the family.
Ye Xiaoting wanted his daughter to abort the child, but Ye Yii wasn't willing. Ye Yii left her family and stayed with Lu Tianxin for a few weeks before another bomb was dropped on them.
"Miss Ye, you need to abort this pregnancy so we can start your chemotherapy. If you delay this any further, you won't last long." The doctor warned Ye Yii, but the woman insisted on keeping her pregnancy until her baby reached a safe stage to be born without complications.
"He's beautiful, Sister Yii." She muttered to the woman who was still lying on the operating table as the doctors were busy preparing her for another surgery to remove the cancer cells that were already spreading to her internal organs.
"Please take care of him for , Tianxin." Ye Yii teared up as she stretched one hand out to touch the head of her newborn child. Luo Luo was only born at 25 weeks and would need to spend ti in an incubator for the following weeks.
"Don't let my father know that my baby is alive. I can't let my baby suffer the sa fate Xiaozu and I faced." She told Lu Tianxin.
"What about Xiaozu? Shouldn't your brother know about this?" Lu Tianxin asked.
She had rejected Ye Xiaozu's request to be with him because she chose to stay with his pregnant sister. It was hard for her at that ti, but she had no other choice but to chose Ye Yii over her love for Ye Xiaozu.
Lu Tianxin couldn't understand why Ye Yii was keeping the truth from her brother. He was her only sibling, one who really dotes on her. She shouldn't hide this matter from him.
"No, you shouldn't tell him, please." Ye Yii begged her. "Don't tell him about the child until everything is calm again."
Lu Tianxin wanted to refuse, but what option did she have, other than to respect her dear friend's wishes. However, Ye Yii wanted her to raise her son? Wouldn't it be too much for her?
Fate had taken away her dreams to have a family of her own, but with Ye Yii's son, she had a chance to beco a mother. Breaking up with Ye Xiaozu was hard for her, but it was for his own good. He wouldn't need to suffer with her in this life knowing that she could never bear him a child.
It also didn't help that Ye Xiaoting, Xiaozu and Yii's father, was a violent man. Perhaps, her Sister Yii had made the right decision of keeping her son away from her problematic family. With Lu Tianxin, the boy would grow up knowing that he was loved and cherished by his mother.
However, Ye Yii didn't live long after giving birth to her premature baby. Three days after her surgery, she died from various complications and Lu Tianxin had to quickly move Luo Luo to another hospital discreetly before Ye Xiaoting found out about his existence.
If there was sothing Lu Tianxin regretted, it was that she wasn't able to send her dear friend off at her funeral. Ye Yii granted her life wish to have a child and she would be forever grateful for it.
