The surgery required fasting, and An Xia planned to tell Lu Beichuan about it after the surgery, so she found an excuse in advance and tricked Lu Beichuan out of the hospital early in the morning.

"I think we should stop dragging it out with my dad."

When Lu Beichuan brought breakfast over in the morning, An Xia suddenly spoke to him seriously.

"Since there is no possibility of recovery for him, dragging him along like this is torture, so let him rest in peace as soon as possible."

In fact, An Xia had this plan a long time ago, but she has been in the hospital for some time and cannot do it herself.

She had originally planned to go to the municipal hospital to take care of her father's issues after being discharged from the hospital, but now it seems that she has no other options for the time being.

Rather than dragging it on like this, it would be better to use this as an excuse to send Lu Beichuan away.

Based on their current relationship, An Xia still believed that Lu Beichuan could resolve the matter neatly and efficiently.

Although her proposal was a bit sudden, Lu Beichuan was still very happy.

In a sense, this can be regarded as her affirmation and recognition.

So Lu Beichuan agreed without hesitation and took action immediately.

"Okay, I'll go now. If I can't make it back in time at noon, ask Xiao Ming to bring you food."

An Xia estimated the time.

She and Zhao Mei agreed to meet at 10:30 in the morning.

Normally, meals at Tianzhu Garden are delivered on time at 12 o'clock. Even if the preoperative preparations take up some time, it is still more than enough.

"it is good."

An Xia nodded. She was still as cold and calm as ever. Her tone and attitude seemed no different from usual.

But Lu Beichuan felt something was wrong, and his sixth sense was reminding him of a bad premonition.

But Lu Beichuan couldn't tell what was wrong.

After looking at An Xia carefully for a long time, she didn't have any other special reaction. Lu Beichuan rubbed his face, thinking that maybe he was too tired recently and a little weak, which made him overly sensitive.

"I'm leaving."

Lu Beichuan opened the breakfast and placed it in front of An Xia before picking up his coat and getting ready to leave.

An Xia lowered her eyes to glance at the delicious food on the table. Without picking up her chopsticks, she looked up at Lu Beichuan, and some obscure thoughts suddenly flashed through her eyes.

She pursed her lips and forced a faint smile.

"be careful on the road."

Lu Beichuan was startled, but soon smiled and said, "Okay. I'll be back as soon as I'm done."

Lu Beichuan left.

Nanny Xiao Tao listened to his various worried instructions at the door before entering the ward.

Looking at An Xia's almost untouched breakfast, Xiao Tao asked worriedly, "Madam, why aren't you eating? Don't you have an appetite?"

An Xia nodded: "Yeah. I don't have much appetite today, please help me remove these."

Xiao Tao didn't dare to move: "But the master said that he must watch you eat something. Your body is now in a state of nourishment for two people. For the sake of the baby in your belly, you have to eat a few bites even if you have no appetite."

An Xia thought for a moment and said, "I really can't eat these things."

Xiao Tao's face instantly wrinkled in embarrassment.

An Xia changed the subject: "Well, go buy me some cakes. I want to eat the lotus cake from Zhenbaozhai now."

Zhenbaozhai and the hospital are in completely two different directions, separated by vast distances.

Normally, it would take more than an hour to go back and forth even if there is no traffic jam, not to mention it is the morning rush hour for office workers.

With the traffic jam, the round trip would take at least two hours.

You still have to queue up at Zhenbaozhai.

An Xia estimated that the time should be just right.

As long as the operation can be successfully started, there will be no turning back.

Xiao Tao thought about what Lu Beichuan had just said, that he would try his best to meet any request made by his wife, so he didn't dare to hesitate and quickly agreed.

"Yes."

However, after agreeing, Xiao Tao was in trouble again.

"Then you can't leave no one here to watch over you. Mr. Lu said that someone must accompany you."

An Xia picked up her phone and raised it: "My friend will be here soon, so you can go without worry. I'll ask the bodyguard outside to drive you there."

Lu Beichuan arranged quite a few people here, and An Xia thought that she could take as many people away as possible to reduce the risk of exposure during the operation.

Xiao Tao had met Jiang Qingyu several times, so he didn't think too much about it. He nodded, then went out to find a bodyguard to go to the Treasure Pavilion together.

After Lu Beichuan and Xiao Tao left, the ward suddenly became exceptionally quiet.

She watched the time gradually elapse on her phone, looked at the fairy tale book that Lu Beichuan hadn't finished telling on the bedside table, looked at the blanket that Lu Beichuan used to cover her when she slept on the sofa in front of her, and looked at the comfort doll that Lu Beichuan bought for his unborn baby on the cabinet next to her...

I usually didn't pay much attention to it, but now that I suddenly looked at it carefully, I realized that Lu Beichuan's love and care for this child had already filled every corner without me noticing.

It’s a pity that the baby didn’t have the chance to see this world carefully, but if you think about it this way, it’s not such a pity at all.

At least they really put their heart into it and tried their best.

The scheduled surgery time was approaching, and Zhao Mei came over to give An Xia a preoperative examination.

An Xia's fetal condition was unstable and had to be checked every now and then. The bodyguards outside had long been accustomed to it, so they were not surprised and did not think anything else about it, just treating it as a normal check-up.

Even though Zhao Mei pushed An Xia out of the ward, they didn't ask much, and just thought she was being taken for an instrumental examination.

The operating room was already being prepared. Zhao Mei looked at An Xia, who had a calm expression, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

In fact, An Xia didn't say it explicitly, but Zhao Mei could probably guess that she had the abortion without telling Lu Beichuan.

It’s just a matter between the couple, and it’s not appropriate for her, a doctor, to interfere.

Moreover, abortion surgery can be performed with the pregnant woman's signature. An Xia didn't say anything, and Zhao Mei didn't dare to tell Lu Beichuan about it.

However, everyone in the inpatient department noticed how much Lu Beichuan cared about An Xia and her son during this period.

If his concern and affection were all acted out, then if he could maintain that state for so long, even the fake could become real.

Before the anesthesia injection, Zhao Mei reluctantly asked An Xia, "Are you sure you want to have the surgery? In fact, if we force the pregnancy to last until six months, we can have a cesarean section earlier as long as the fetus's condition allows."

A six-month-old baby is already formed. Even if there are any problems after being taken out of the mother's body by cesarean section, there is a high possibility that the baby can grow up safely with the intervention of a doctor.

Having remained calm and stable for so long, An Xia couldn't hold it back anymore when she heard Zhao Mei's cruel question.

The tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes filled her eye sockets, her nose tip felt sour, she closed her eyes, her lips bitten until they turned white.

"I can't gamble with his whole life."

This world is already bitter enough, and An Xia doesn't want her child to come into this world with twice as much suffering as ordinary people.

Even if she couldn't bear it, she couldn't selfishly keep him.

Letting him go back to recuperate and wait for him to come back next time is the fairest and most sensible thing to do for the child.
