In the middle of the night, the heavy rain outside fell on a woman's body drop by drop. After a while, her whole body was soaked, and the cold wind blew, which was even more piercing.
"Child, my child..."
The woman's voice became weaker and weaker. Her face was pale, as if she had lost her life.
Four hours ago.
In a villa in the suburbs, the urging of servants and the screaming in pain of a woman could be heard.
"It hurts... ah..." Lin Nianchu clutched the quilt under her body tightly.
"The child is coming out soon. Miss Lin, push harder."
"I, I can't do it anymore." Lin Nianchu's tears fell, and she felt that she was on the verge of death.
"Miss Lin, if you don't give birth to the baby soon, I'm afraid the baby will die of lack of oxygen." The servant was anxious and hurried to urge her.
Hearing this, Lin Nianchu's face turned pale. She didn't dare to waste any more time, so she gritted her teeth and exerted her strength.
"Woo, waaa—"
Accompanied by the sound of thunder, the child's cry cut through the night.
"It's born!"
As the surprised exclaimation fell, the servant who was waiting nearby quickly picked up the child and took him away to clean him.
She struggled to reach out her hand and said, "My child, let me have a look at my child."
However, the servant did not stop. She said coldly, "Miss Lin, did you forget? This is Mr. Xie's child, and you sold your child with 500,000 yuan. You are no longer the mother of the child."
The maid's ruthless words made Lin Nianchu's face turn paler.
500,000!
For just five hundred thousand, she had sold her own child.
Lin Nianchu's face was burning hot, but when she heard the child's shrill cries, her heart was twisted with a knife. How could she give up her child?
It was her child who had been in her belly for 10 months. She had risked her life to give birth to the little baby!
But when she thought of her mother, who was still in the ward and hadn't woken up yet, Lin Nianchu didn't even have the courage to take back her child.
However, she was unwilling and could not help begging humbly, "Please let me have a look at my child. At least let me know if the baby is a boy or a girl."
"Sorry, in order to prevent you from coming to us in the future, you can't take a look at the baby."
Lin Nianchu struggled to get up from the bed and shouted repeatedly, "No! My child, my child!"
She felt dizzy because of her weak body.
Lin Nianchu's vision darkened. With a thud, she fell to the ground.
There was a car in the yard.
The servant held the child in her arms and called out carefully, "Mr. Xie."
The door opened and a pair of slender and jade-like hands reached out to take the child from the servant's arms.
Under the dim night sky, his face could not be seen clearly, but the outline of the man's angular features could be vaguely seen. His strong aura made people do not dare to look straight at him.
As he was holding that soft and small baby in his arms, the man's cold face seemed to soften a little.
"This is... my child?" Xie Yishen seemed to mutter to himself.
"Yes, Mr. Xie."
The maid answered. After a pause, she asked tentatively, "Mr. Xie, Miss Lin fainted. Shall we call a doctor for her?"
Hearing the woman's name, Xie Yishen deeply frowned in disgust.
After all, in his opinion, Lin Nianchu was just a vain woman who would not hesitate to betray her own child for money.
He was not sure if her fainting was just a trick to stay by his side so that she could enter his rich and powerful family.
Thinking of this, Xie Yishen's expression turned cold. Without hesitation, he said, "There's no need. Since she has already given birth to a child, she's of no value. Send her away as soon as possible. Don't give her any chance to stay."
Hearing this, the maid's heart skipped a beat, but she still replied, "Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, the car door closed and soon left.
The servant held an umbrella and returned to the villa silently. Before long, she threw Lin Nianchu, who had just finished giving birth, out of the villa.
