Chapter 609 Your Love Is Quite Heavy
Chu Xin asked a nurse for directions and quickly found Du Zhi's ward.
It was a three-person ward, but she was the only one staying there.
Du Zhi was awake and was overjoyed to see Chu Xin. "You're here! Come and sit down."
As she spoke, she propped herself up and leaned against him. Seeing that she was too clumsy, Chu Xin quickly took two steps over to support her, put her hands under her armpits, and lifted her up and put her down.
"How's the position? Is it comfortable?"
Du Zhi was startled by Chu Xin's action. She had never experienced this action since she grew up, and she was both amused and exasperated by it.
"You're quite strong!"
Although she was petite, she was not light in weight due to her pregnancy, and Chu Xin looked like she hadn't used much strength at all.
Chu Xin sat down on the edge of the bed and joked, "Hey, she's not quiet and has a bad temper. I don't know if being strong is a good thing or a bad thing."
"Who says women have to be quiet? I think you're great. You don't have a bad temper, just a bit irritable, but that's only when dealing with people who need to be disciplined. You're beautiful and capable, and most importantly, you don't suffer losses, which is great."
Du Zhi smiled and said, then a hint of sadness appeared on her face as she thought of her own body, "Unlike me, I've been through so much that I need help even to resist, and in the end, I haven't even managed to maintain a healthy body."
After a long silence, she spoke again, "I'm going to shamelessly call you 'little sister,' can you do me a favor?"
Although Du Zhi was saved during her hospitalization, she was still weak. Even after a night's rest, her complexion was pale. Moreover, because of her pregnancy, she could not take many medications and could only rely on her own diet to supplement her nutrition.
Unfortunately, she had a poor appetite after becoming pregnant, and her daily diet consisted of a limited variety of foods. Apart from her large belly, she was very thin.
Although she felt a bit more energetic and had a better appetite when she woke up this morning, it was just a matter of eating a few more bites; it was impossible for her to suddenly become fat.
Being looked at so earnestly by her weak eyes made Chu Xin feel as if she were being entrusted with something by someone who didn't have long to live.
Her heart clenched, and suppressing her discomfort, she said, "Just say what you have to say. Besides, I've noticed that Su Zihang is acting strangely too. Are you two hiding something from us, or does he have some idea that you disagree with?"
Du Zhi hesitated for a moment, clutching the blanket, before speaking. Her voice was still gentle but firm, "Sister, I want to give birth to these three children, even if it costs me my life. Can you help me?"
Chu Xin:......
Forgive her for not knowing what to say for a moment. Not to mention that she didn't know how she could help, the request itself was quite dramatic.
Should we praise the greatness of maternal love or laugh at Du Zhi's wild imagination?
Chu Xin thought about it. For her own sake, having a child was still a long way off, but she believed she would never risk her life to have a child.
In the apocalypse, she had seen far too many children die tragically without their mothers' protection. A father's love may be as strong as a mountain, but when it comes to making choices, it can also be a landslide. Not eating the children herself was already a sign of conscience.
Of course, there are exceptions among mothers, but they are generally better off, which shows that nothing is better than living a good life.
So Chu Xin shook her head on the spot, "Sister Du Zhi, if these three children are born without a mother, I advise you not to have them, because you can't afford to gamble on how much suffering they will endure in the future."
Moreover, we don't know if the child is healthy. If he is not healthy, he will suffer every day. You may think you are great for making a sacrifice, but the living are the ones who experience everything firsthand. Would they be willing to do that?
I know what I'm saying is unconventional and might even invite criticism, but I'm only saying this because I truly care about you. Think about it carefully.
"Think about it carefully?"
Du Zhi's face turned even paler. She was devastated by Chu Xin's words. Had she made a mistake in wanting to give birth to the child and leave an heir for A Hang?
Ahang always said she didn't want children, so will she hate the child she insisted on having after she dies?
Du Zhi's mind was in even more turmoil.
Seeing her so disoriented and on the verge of fainting again, Chu Xin closed her eyes wearily. Thinking of Su Zihang's strange behavior, she tentatively asked, "Does Su Zihang not want it?"
Du Zhi nodded sadly, "I wasn't in good condition from the beginning of my pregnancy. He consulted many doctors who all said it was dangerous and it was best not to have the baby. So he advised me not to have the baby and to have an abortion early to save the mother. But I couldn't bear to. So I secretly hid for a while when he went out. He only found me when I was about three months pregnant and my belly was showing. By then, I would have been at risk if I had an abortion."
"But I know that Ahang has never given up on aborting these three children. He thought he was keeping it a secret, but I could tell."
This time, we've searched so many places, I know he's made up his mind to do it, and the only person he can trust is Yang Zheng. Now that Yang Zheng has arrived, he's about to take action!
This time, Chu Xin even wondered if she had transmigrated into some Mary Sue novel about a pregnant woman running away. Her newly acquainted sister, Du Zhi, was really quite clueless.
With her mind solely focused on achieving a fulfilling life, Chu Xin never considered the potential harm she might cause to Su Zihang and their child, so she could only make her words less explicit.
"Your love is quite heavy. It's a good thing Su Zihang is tall; otherwise, anyone else would have been crushed."
