Chapter 1028 A Scar Imprinted Forever in His Heart
Fang Heng knew that this question was very cruel.
Xu Youning and the child were like Mu Sijue’s left and right atria.
If Mu Sijue lost either one of them, he would suffer an excruciating pain.
However, if Mu Sijue was given time to think about it, he would definitely delay because he could not make a choice.
But if he delayed any longer, the baby would not survive, and the possibility of Xu Youning’s recovery would be decreased.
Mu Sijue must endure such pain in order to see the light in the midst of the darkness and find the hope of survival.
Fang Heng put his hand on Mu Sijue’s shoulder and said in a heavy tone, “I’ll go back and tell the other doctors. Xu Youning’s life will be our top priority and we will come up with a medical plan with that in mind. As for other things, we will not bother with them.”
Mu Sijue understood what Fang Heng implied.
Until this moment, his and Xu Youning’s child was still healthy, and he still had a chance to come to the world.
However, after Xu Youning’s treatment started, the child would slowly lose the vitality of his life.
Even if the child was strong enough to accompany Xu Youning throughout the treatment, his health would be inevitably affected by drugs.
In the end, he would still be unable to come to this world.
The child was innocent, but if he wanted Xu Youning to survive, he had to give up the innocent child.
No matter what price Mu Sijue had to pay, this brutal and stark outcome was inevitable.
Seeing Mu Sijue keeping quiet, Fang Heng had to reconfirm with him again. “Sijue, you won’t change your mind, will you?”
After he went back, he would draw up a medical plan to keep Xu Youning alive. If Mu Sijue changed his mind at the last minute, it would definitely be too late.
Compared with everything else in the world, time was an extravagance, especially when it came to diseases.
They could not afford to waste any more time.
Mu Sijue slowly closed his eyes. “Fang Heng, is there really no other way?”
Fang Heng knew that Mu Sijue was still unwilling to face the facts and give up.
If possible, Mu Sijue still hoped to save both Xu Youning and their child.
But it was too difficult. Not a single member of the medical team dared to gamble on such a highly difficult challenge.
From the medical point of view, in this case, it was already lucky that they were able to keep either of them alive.
If Mu Sijue wanted the child to live, Fang Heng was afraid that the whole team would be distracted, so they couldn’t even keep Xu Youning alive.
Fang Heng sighed and said helplessly, “Little Seven, I’m sorry, but we… really can’t.”
Mu Sijue closed his eyes more tightly, as if there was a world full of blood and tears in front of him, which he couldn’t face directly.
After an unknown period of time, Mu Sijue slowly said, “I see. I won’t change my mind.”
Fang Heng nodded. “In that case, I’ll leave first.”
He left the apartment after being led out by Mu Sijue’s subordinate.
Fang Heng was an unusual young man. Normally, a person who spoke less would be considered cool, but he liked to go in the opposite direction. He kept talking, and did not think that he was annoying at all.
But today, after he came out of Mu Sijue’s apartment, he remained silent.
This was too strange!
The subordinate coughed and asked tentatively, “Doctor Fang, were you tortured by Seventh Brother?”
When he heard that, Fang Heng looked up at the sky for some reason.
It was already early in the morning. The city, which had been noisy and busy for a whole day, finally felt tired and gradually quieted down. There were only a few stars in the huge night sky, which barely lit up the night.
“Alas…” Fang Heng couldn’t help letting out a long sigh. He admitted it and said, “Yes, I was. I was tortured very badly.”
He had been tortured by the twists and turns between Mu Sijue and Xu Youning.
The subordinate did not know the implication in Fang Heng’s words at all, so he couldn’t help asking in wonder, “Doctor Fang, how did Seventh Brother torture you?”
Fang Heng gave the subordinate a meaningful look and said, “Trust me. It’s not good for you to know his ways and means of torture.”
“Ways and means…”
For a moment, the subordinate’s imagination went wild.
Fang Heng did not realize that his words could easily cause a misunderstanding, so he got into the car and left the apartment in his usual cool style.
When Fang Heng’s car disappeared from the street, Mu Sijue was still standing on the balcony of his apartment.
Mu Sijue did not know when he started to hate the night intensely.
As he watched the sky getting dark, he couldn’t help wondering if the endless darkness would drown out the world and the light would never descend again.
Maybe out of worry, he began to pace back and forth during the long night, unable to fall asleep.
If he wanted to sleep well all night, he could only rely on sleeping pills.
After Xu Youning left this time, he only slept well that night when he learned that Xu Youning actually knew the truth.
Mu Sijue had once thought that he might be able to get rid of the sleeping pills.
Now it seemed that he had been too optimistic.
After smoking several cigarettes, Mu Sijue finally returned to the living room and dialed Lu Boyan’s number.
At this time, Lu Boyan, who was far away in Dingya Villas, had just returned to his room and was about to lie down when his cell phone suddenly rang.
Lu Boyan had a premonition. He picked up the phone and looked at the screen. As expected, Mu Sijue’s number was displayed on it.
He walked out of the room and answered the phone at the corridor outside, but he did not hear Mu Sijue’s voice for a long time.
Mu Sijue’s concept of time was very precise. He used to go straight to the point and talk concisely and comprehensively.
He would never waste other people’s time, nor would he allow others to waste his own time.
This was the first time that he had made a phone call but remained silent for a long time.
Lu Boyan vaguely realized that things should be worse than he had imagined.
He did not urge Mu Sijue, but waited patiently for Mu Sijue to speak.
After an unknown period of time, Mu Sijue said in a low and cold voice, “Fang Heng wanted me to make a choice.”
Lu Boyan knew what Mu Sijue was talking about.
When Fang Heng just returned to the country, he asked Doctor Liu about Xu Youning’s situation.
After hearing Doctor Liu’s report, Fang Heng immediately said that Mu Sijue needed to choose between Xu Youning or the child.
It was very cruel.
However, they had no better choice.
Lu Boyan thought for two seconds and said slowly, “As long as Xu Youning recovers, you can still have another child. But Xu Youning is unique. Once you give up on her, you won’t be able to find another person to replace Xu Youning.”
Lu Boyan knew without guessing that Mu Sijue would definitely choose Xu Youning.
The reason why he was so sure about it was that he knew what his own decision would be if the same thing happened to him.
In the end, Lu Boyan subconsciously chose Su Jian’an without thinking any further.
Xiyu and Xiangyi had come to this world and would gradually grow up. Of course, he loved the two babies very much.
But if time was reversed back to when Su Jian’an was pregnant and such a crisis were to happen to Su Jian’an, he could not give her up in exchange for the two babies even if he had seen how lovely they were.
Of course, it was just a hypothesis.
In reality, Lu Boyan would not allow such a terrible thing to happen.
Even if it actually happened, he would still find a way out.
He wanted both Su Jian’an and their children.
Thinking about that, Lu Boyan suddenly understood that even if he tried his best to find a reason for Mu Sijue’s choice, it could not relieve Mu Sijue’s pain.
Like him, Mu Sijue wanted to keep both Xu Youning and their child alive.
This choice would leave a permanent scar in Mu Sijue’s heart.
After an unknown period of time, Mu Sijue suddenly asked, “Will he blame me?”
Lu Boyan knew that Mu Sijue was talking about the child.
Every single life was precious and worth cherishing.
Mu Sijue just gave up a small life. If the little guy was conscious, he certainly could not understand his father’s choice, and he would even be dissatisfied with it.
However, Mu Sijue had no choice but to give up the child.
Lu Boyan did not speak, but Mu Sijue already knew his answer. He laughed and hung up the phone.
Lu Boyan heard Mu Sijue’s laughter, but there was no joy in his laughter.
In fact, Mu Sijue was laughing at himself, wasn’t he?
Lu Boyan slowly put away his mobile phone, turned around, and saw Su Jian’an standing at the door of the room.
He was surprised and walked over. “Why aren’t you sleep?”
Su Jian’an shook her head. “You’re not back yet. I can’t sleep.”
Lu Boyan took Su Jian’an back to the room and hugged her tightly as they laid on the bed. “Are you thinking about Xu Youning?”
Su Jian’an replied with a “hmm”, and there was a hint of worry in her voice. “I don’t know how Youning is now…” After that, she looked at Lu Boyan expectantly.
When Fang Heng left the Kang family, he sent a text message to Lu Boyan and briefly told him what had happened to Xu Youning.
Lu Boyan thought for a moment and relayed what was in the text message to Su Jian’an. Finally, he said, “Jian’an, your suspicions at the beginning is right. Xu Youning actually knew everything. She went back this time not only to save Mom, but also to avenge Granny Xu personally.”
There was a touch of expectation in Su Jian’an’s eyes. “Is Sijue in a better mood after knowing this?”
Lu Boyan glanced at Su Jian’an, and did not answer her question, which was rare.
Su Jian’an suddenly realized that something had happened. She sat up and looked at Lu Boyan. “What’s up?”
After a while, Lu Boyan said, “The medical team headed by Fang Heng needs to make a treatment plan based on Xu Youning’s condition. However, Xu Youning’s case is too special, so Sijue can only choose between Xu Youning or the child…”
They had a tacit understanding, so Su Jian’an had already guessed the latter half of his sentence before he finished it. She said, “Sijue chose Youning.”
“Mm,” Lu Boyan said, confirming Su Jian’an’s guess.
Su Jian’an lowered her gaze, and her voice sounded down. “Although it’s unfair to the child, I can understand why Sijue made such a choice.”
“We can both understand.” Lu Boyan cuddled Su Jian’an in his arms, sighed softly, and continued, “But Sijue can’t forgive himself for making such a choice.”
