As soon as Wen Haotian left, Su Rou immediately intended to follow suit. However, the two black - suited bodyguards blocked the door as soon as they saw Su Rou. "Miss, you can't go out."
"Get out of my way!" Su Rou reached out to push the two bodyguards, but they were as sturdy as mountains and wouldn't budge.
"Sorry, Miss."
One of the bodyguards said, then pushed Su Rou back inside and closed the door for her.
Su Rou was furious! That scumbag Wen Haotian was planning to keep her imprisoned until the surgery, wasn't he!
When Yao Yu came downstairs, she saw Su Rou standing in front of the door, fuming. "Xiaorou, what's wrong?" Yao Yu asked puzzledly.
"Don't you know what's going on?" Su Rou said sarcastically. "Maybe you even came up with this plan."
Yao Yu frowned. "What are you talking about?" She had never colluded with Wen Haotian.
Su Rou didn't say anything else. She just opened the door to show Yao Yu the two bodyguards standing there. Yao Yu's eyes widened in shock. Oh my god, what was Haotian doing!
"Xiaorou, I didn't know... I really didn't know." Yao Yu finally understood why Su Rou was so angry. It seemed that Wen Haotian had already started his actions!
"What didn't you know? That he would imprison me or that he was going to have a liver - transplant surgery with me?"
"You..." Yao Yu's eyes widened even more. Xiaorou already knew? "You know everything..." she murmured.
"If you don't want people to know, don't do it in the first place." It seemed that Yao Yu also knew about the liver - transplant. But damn it, they both chose to keep her in the dark. "Were you going to tell me when I was on the operating table?"
Yao Yu shook her head in a flurry. "No..." In fact, she really wanted to tell Su Rou, but because of Wen Haotian's threats, she couldn't bring herself to speak.
"If I had known this would happen, you should have killed me when you left me behind..." Su Rou said softly.
Yao Yu shook her head violently. "It's not like that!" How could she bear to kill her own daughter? "I just wanted you to live!" Yao Yu's eyes were already red with excitement. Leaning against the handrail of the stairs, she gasped and said, "Xiaorou, do you know? Wen Haotian has severe hepatitis. He had it before he married me."
Taking a deep breath, Yao Yu let the tears stream down her cheeks. For the first time, she told Su Rou the reason why she abandoned her back then.
"Wen Haotian and I got married because of a family alliance. We didn't have feelings for each other... When I was pregnant with Tongtong, he was very nice to me. I had never seen him so gentle before. But after Tongtong was born, Wen Haotian secretly did a tissue - matching test on himself and Tongtong. That's when I realized that Wen Haotian wanted to transplant Tongtong's liver to himself. The chance of a successful match is much higher among people with blood relations..."
At this point, Yao Yu paused and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. "But Tongtong was lucky. The match was unsuccessful... I thought he had given up, but unexpectedly, I got pregnant again. I was very worried at that time. I knew Wen Haotian must have had his eyes on you... I just couldn't bear to watch my own daughter be brutally killed by her biological father, so I ran away with you and gave birth to you in City T. I knew Wen Haotian would definitely find you, so I had to leave you at the hospital entrance..." hoping that someone would take her away.
"Xiaorou, you have to believe me. I didn't abandon you. I just wanted you to live!" Yao Yu said with tears streaming down her face. "But... I didn't expect that we would run into you when we were traveling in City T."
"I really just wanted you to live..."
This was truly a fateful bond!
Although Yao Yu's words were moving, Su Rou felt nothing. She said, "But you only let me live for eighteen more years." If she really wanted her to live, she should have just left her alone.
"I..." Because of her cowardice and being oppressed by Wen Haotian, she still made Xiaorou end up in this situation.
Su Rou looked at the woman crying against the handrail of the stairs. After a long silence, she said, "I won't thank you for your so - called kindness. Really."
"Xiaorou..." Couldn't she forgive her?
"If Brother Ze hadn't picked me up, I might have died in the snow..."
"How could that be..." There should have been doctors and nurses around the hospital who would have found her, right?
"Unfortunately, Su Nuannuan was giving birth at that time. All the doctors' and nurses' attention was drawn to her. No one cared whether I lived or died..." Su Rou smiled, a bit helplessly. It was just the irony of fate.
Yao Yu had never thought that such a thing would happen. She really meant well. "I didn't know. I'm sorry..."
"Let me finish." Su Rou interrupted her. "My body was severely frost - bitten because I was left in the snow for too long. As a result, I have very serious menstrual cramps. Also, because of the cold in my uterus, my chances of getting pregnant in the future will be very low."
"Your body..." Yao Yu's eyes subconsciously looked at Su Rou's lower abdomen.
"Do you think your actions were kind? For me, they weren't."
Yao Yu thought she was helping Su Rou escape Wen Haotian's clutches, but she didn't know that the future would be so dramatic. Yao Yu was so shocked by what Su Rou said that she couldn't close her mouth. After she fully digested Su Rou's words, Yao Yu burst into tears.
She didn't know that things would turn out like this. Why was her child so miserable?
"Xiaorou..." Yao Yu's face was covered in tears. "I'm sorry, Mom is sorry for you."
"It doesn't matter. You can just use my life to save Wen Haotian's." Su Rou said indifferently, then walked up to the second floor. Since she couldn't get out, she might as well stay inside.
Yao Yu was sobbing uncontrollably. She squatted beside the stairs, crying with her head buried. Had she done something wrong? But... she just wanted Xiaorou to live!
"Madam..." Aunt Yue quickly helped Yao Yu up from the ground. Why did she see Yao Yu squatting on the ground crying when she just finished cleaning a room? What had happened? "Get up quickly. The ground is cold."
"I... I'm sorry for her..."
"Madam, what are you talking about?" Who was she sorry for?
"I'm sorry for her... I'm sorry..."
