Chapter 326: Shen Chi, You Are Not Human

Translator: 549690339

“Don’t touch my child, don’t abort him, he’s only two months old…” Xu Chaomu’s eyes shed two lines of tears.

Lying on the operating table, she looked at those cold instruments and shook her head desperately.

Don’t, don’t…

The doctors and nurses had all put on surgical gowns and donned masks and gloves, ready to perform the surgery on Xu Chaomu.

“I’m sorry, we’re just following orders,” the female doctor said.

“Don’t, my baby is only two months old. Don’t listen to that devil, he’s not human, he’s not human.”

Xu Chaomu painfully shook her head, Shen Chi you’re not human!

“Miss, it won’t hurt. Close your eyes, really, it’ll be over soon,” the female doctor comforted her.

She picked up the shiny tweezers from the operating table and grabbed a piece of alcohol cotton.

“Don’t touch me, I beg you, don’t touch my child, let me go…”

Xu Chaomu kicked and punched; she was using all the strength she could muster.

This was the strength of a mother who only wanted to protect her own child.

She kicked over a stand, and “clatter”, scalpels and other surgical instruments fell to the ground.

“Hold her down, don’t let her move around,” the female doctor commanded.

“Okay.” Several nurses hurriedly held down Xu Chaomu’s hands and feet to stop her from moving.

“Miss, bear with it for a bit, it’ll be over soon. It really won’t hurt,” the nurses also tried to persuade Xu Chaomu.

“Shen Chi, you’re not human, I hate you, I will kill you…”

Her face was covered with tears, soaking her hair and dress. This little face was all twisted in pain.

She wanted to struggle, but she had no strength to do so; she had been given an anesthetic and couldn’t even feel the pain when things hit her face.

“My child… my child…”

Tears streamed down relentlessly.

Of course, none of the noises inside the operating room could be heard outside.

At first, Shen Chi sat in his chair, then stood up restlessly.

Her words kept echoing in his mind, “Your mother killed my mother, and you, are you going to kill me and my child too?”

“If my child is gone, I will seek you out in desperation!”

She would seek him in desperation.

Scene after scene flashed quickly through his mind. Five years ago, he took her to the hospital to have a tooth pulled and happened to see three people quarreling outside the hospital.

At that time, Wang Yu insisted on aborting the child in Ju Shuya’s belly.

Xu Chaomu, holding onto the hem of his shirt, asked, “Brother Si, does an abortion hurt a lot? The child is so innocent.”

Does an abortion hurt a lot…

Of course, it hurts…

A child is a piece of flesh torn from the mother’s body.

Xu Chaomu from that year would cry out in pain from just having a tooth extracted; now, how could she not be afraid of pain?

His fists gradually clenched; suddenly, he recalled the skeleton from five years ago.

When Xiao Mo told him that it was Xu Chaomu, he felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water over him; a chill spread from his head to his feet! His heart seemed to stop.

He was distraught with grief and told himself more than once that in the next life, if he could meet her, he would use all his energy to love her.

Now, she was not dead, she was alive and well, so why couldn’t he keep his promise…

If the child in her belly were to be lost, she would definitely hate him.

Definitely.

He didn’t want her to hate him.

He stood up and strode towards the door of the operating room.

He pounded on the operating room door with force: “Open the door! Open the door!”

“Mr. Shen, the surgery is underway, you can’t go in!” Director Tan hurriedly came over to pull him back.

“Let them open the door! The surgery is canceled!”

Shen Chi’s eyes were unfathomably deep, filled with urgency in that depth.

No, he didn’t want her to hate him for a lifetime!

He had already lost her for a whole five years; he didn’t want to lose her for a lifetime.

A lifetime, how many five years are there…

“Mr. Shen, I’m afraid it’s too late. If you disturb the doctors now, it won’t be good for the surgery.”

“Did you hear me? I told you to open the door!” Shen Chi roared.

“Alright, alright, Mr. Shen, please wait a moment.” Soon, Director Tan personally made a phone call.

Those minutes felt as long as a century.

Shen Chi was afraid, terrified that once the door of the operating room opened, the surgery would have already begun, and her child would be gone…

He clenched his fists tightly, knocking on the operating room door, his face showing endless sorrow.

“Mumu… Mumu, we’re not having the surgery, let’s go home…”

The surgeons in the operating room were about to proceed with Xu Chaomu’s abortion when they received a call from Director Tan.

Surgery requires concentration, and she was planning to wait until after the surgery to take this call.

However, Director Tan pressed the emergency button in the operating room, and the alarm sounded loudly.

“Chief, the director seems to have something urgent for you,” a nurse handed the phone to the doctor.

The female doctor put down her instruments and answered the phone: “Director.”

“Has the surgery been done? If it hasn’t, hurry up and bring her out!”

“The surgery is canceled?”

“Yes, it’s canceled! Her husband changed his mind.”

“How can there be such a husband, so indecisive. If the child isn’t his, get rid of it, if it is, definitely cannot abort it,” the female doctor complained irritably.

“Don’t worry about it, that’s not for you to concern yourself with, just make sure she is safely brought out,” the director said.

“Alright, I understand,” the female doctor replied.

She hung up the phone and turned off the lights on the instruments.

“End the surgery, prepare to transport the patient out.”

“Chief… we’re not going ahead with the surgery?” the nurses asked, their eyes wide in astonishment.

“Yes, it’s canceled.”

“Chief, was that man in the suit outside her husband?”

“I guess so; probably was cuckolded. That’s why he was forcing her to abort this child,” the female doctor speculated while removing her gloves and going to the sink to pour the hand soap, starting to wash her hands.

Such matters, the female doctor had seen too many to be surprised anymore.

“Probably, nowadays, girls are too open, no wonder her husband was angry. Just now I saw him with a dark face, quite scary,” a nurse commented.

“The man is quite handsome, and even our director is very polite to him; his background must be not ordinary,” another nurse said.

“Exactly, with a man that handsome, what more could she want?”

Having said that, several nurses glanced sideways at Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu lay weakly on the operating table; she had no strength, but her ears could still hear.

The jeers reached her ears and Xu Chaomu faintly said, “He’s not my husband.”

Her voice was weak, but everyone heard it.

The room was filled with bewilderment, as people exchanged glances.

Shen Chi waited outside the operating room for a long time, each second as long as a year.

“Open the door, why won’t you open the door!” he pounded on the door.

Director Tan hurried over: “Mr. Shen, I’ve called the doctors inside, the surgery hasn’t been performed, don’t worry, both the child and the adult are fine.”

Finally, Shen Chi let out a sigh of relief.

The surgery hadn’t been performed…
