Her words, in the opinion of Mrs . Ye, were insincere .
“I'm just reminding you, don't harbor any wishful thinking . Xiaotian will never marry you . Mo Li, I advise you to give up the child in your stomach . ”
“Mrs . Ye doesn't have to worry about this . ” Mo Li got up to leave . To Mrs . Ye, she really had nothing to say .
Mrs . Ye sprung up . “I haven't finished speaking . ”
“But I don't wish to continue listening to you speak . The child is now more than four months old, it has already developed its hearing . If it hears its grandmother saying such malicious things, I'm sure it would have no good impression of you . It might even doubt if this is its grandmother . Even if you don't admit it, when this child is born, it will be a descendant of the Ye family . Your grandson or granddaughter . ”
Mrs . Ye was rather enraged . “I've already said, even if it gets born, it will not be a part of the Ye family . This child will not be part of our family tree and will not be recognized by the Ye family . If you give birth to it, it will be nothing but an illegitimate child!”
Mo Li's body went stiff, and her hands were clenched together tightly .
She turned and went upstairs .
After spilling out everything she wanted to say, Mrs . Ye left with her heart at ease .
But on the other hand, Mo Li had landed into a state of suffering, and she had locked the door from inside .
She did not feel a tinge of hope and could not see any glimpse of the future .
This kind of negative emotions made the bitterness kept inside her for so long suddenly erupt .
Mo Li got up and headed into the bathroom, turning on the tap in the bathtub . Thereafter, she turned on the heater in the bedroom .
After a nice, cleansing bath, she blew her hair dry and put on her favorite white long-sleeved nightgown .
She sat down before the dressing table . Ever since she knew she was pregnant, she did not put on makeup anymore .
However, she now dolled up her face with some exquisite makeup .
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she saw that her thick eyebrows were surreal and her red lips seductive .
She took out a knife blade from the drawer meant for trimming eyebrows . It was extremely sharp .
With it held in her hand, she slowly sat by the bed and sent her brother a message: “Without me by our parents' side, Xiao Xun, you need to take good care of them . Don't make them angry . ”
Mo Xun replied her instantly: “Sis, I know . ”
Thereafter, she actually typed out a message for An Xiaoning . Although she only met her a few times, she really wanted to send her this message: “I really want to live like you, to be able to live out one's own brilliance, but I can't do anything about it . I can't see a glimmer of hope at all . This life is not how I want it to be . If I could relive my life again, I want to be like you . I want to work hard and live freely . ”
After typing out the message, she did not send it, but placed her phone at the edge of the bed .
She slowly laid down on the bed and covered herself with the blanket .
With the knife blade in her left hand, she placed it over her right hand .
Mo Li closed her eyes and exerted strength using her left hand . The immense pain went past in a flash, and all she could feel was the blood in her body draining out gradually . Before she lost her consciousness, she successfully sent out the message she had typed out .
When An Xiaoning received the message, she was at the police station discussing a case with her other three team members .
The more she looked at the message, the more she felt something was amiss . She immediately dialled Mo Li's number .
After one and thereafter several tries, still no one picked up .
She did not have Ye Xiaotian's number, so she could only call Gu Beicheng and get him to pass the message to Ye Xiaotian . She wanted to get him to go home to take a look in case something had happened .
After the call, she still felt uneasy, so she drove to Ming Yuan Estate herself .
She reached the front gate of the house almost at the same time as Ye Xiaotian .
Ye Xiaotian had a serious look on his face and hurriedly ran into the house . Since An Xiaoning was wearing flats, she ran along with him .
She was praying deeply in her heart for Mo Li to be fine .
But a feeling of uneasiness overwhelmed her . The content of that text message did not come from a person who was just expressing their negative emotions – she sounded like someone who had reached the peak of her despair, who did not have the strength to resist and could no longer live on .
An Xiaoning hurriedly went up the second floor and saw Ye Xiaotian take the spare keys to open the bedroom door .
Because he was shaking, it took some time for him to unlock it .
The door burst open upon unlocking .
The room was in darkness, and the curtains were tightly closed .
“Mo Li?”
Ye Xiaotian headed towards the bed .
An Xiaoning followed behind him .
With the lights switched on, Ye Xiaotian saw Mo Li with her eyes shut on the bed and could already sense that something was wrong .
Although her face had makeup on it, it was pale as a sheet . Her phone was placed right at the bedside . With An Xiaoning calling her multiple times, it was impossible for her not to have heard it .
An Xiaoning went forward and slowly opened the covers .
“Mo Li!” Ye Xiaotian's eyes were instantly brimming with tears .
An Xiaoning had her hand on her mouth, and tears flowed down her cheeks rapidly .
Mo Li's body was covered in a pool of blood .
Ye Xiaotian immediately took off his tie and wrapped it around her wrist before running down the stairs with her in his arms .
An Xiaoning stared at the massive blood stains on the bed, her heart wrenching in pain .
Even with a child in her stomach, to still be able to come to this state, it was apparent that she could no longer live on .
She surveyed the surroundings and did not see Mo Li's soul . That meant that at least she was still alive .
She turned and hurriedly drove to the hospital, following behind Ye Xiaotian's car .
After Mo Li entered the emergency treatment room, they waited at the corridor .
Gu Beicheng came over too and, upon hearing the situation, was at a loss for words .
He could only pat Ye Xiaotian's shoulders to console him .
“Can I see that text message?” Ye Xiaotian asked, his eyes reddened .
An Xiaoning passed him her phone .
Ye Xiaotian stared at the phone screen for a long time before passing the phone back to her .
An Xiaoning felt that she could not just wait on like that . She discreetly ran to the nurses' changing room and put on a nurse uniform . With a cap and face mask on, she pretended she was a nurse and entered the emergency treatment room . Gu Beicheng and Ye Xiaotian, who were at the entrance, both did not recognize her .
An Xiaoning stood by the doctors' side, watching as they tried to save Mo Li . Standing there, she was on pins and needles .
Time passed like eternity .
The doctor used all the effort he could exert and finally pulled Mo Li back from the realms of death .
“What a close shave . If she had been sent in just a minute later, she would never have lived . ” The doctor continued, “Forget it, she's survived at least . Bandage her properly, I'll go out to inform the family . ”
Just then, An Xiaoning pulled him back . “Stop . ”
“Umm?” The doctor glanced at her . “Who are you? I've never seen you before . ”
An Xiaoning replied with a grin, “Who I am is not important . What's important is that I need a favor from all of you . If you guys help me, the three checks here are for all of you . ” She fished out three checks from her wallet .
The two doctors and the nurse were stunned .
“It can't be that you want to kill her?” The doctor waved his hand . “No matter how much you give us, we won't do it . ”
“Who's asking all of you to kill her?” An Xiaoning continued, “I just want all of you to respect her wishes when she wakes up . ”
“I… I don't quite understand what you mean . ”
An Xiaoning reiterated, “When you go out, don't tell the person who sent her here that she's been saved . Wait for her to wake up . ”
