Chapter 770 - Do You Want to Save the Mother?

“Miss Qian’er was poisoned, and the baby was also affected. The baby had no defense against it at all, and died,” Xiao Xiao explained simply.

Lu Fenying punched him in the face. “Nonsense. The royal doctor said everything was fine yesterday, but you’re telling me that the baby is dead?”

“It’s the truth. The poison isn’t a strong one, and it’s hard to detect. It only took hold in the baby at the very end.”

The poison wasn’t strong, and an adult wouldn’t have much of a reaction. The baby did have a reaction, however, which was why it had been moving around a lot in the last few days. Qian’er had felt bloated, but she didn’t know that it was the baby feeling uncomfortable.

She might have just thought that it was just fetal movement.

“Lu Fenying, let’s not waste time. Let’s do a C-section first. There might still be a chance for the baby.”

Gu Bailu took out the Sky Splitting Mirror and put it next to Qian’er’s pillow.

The dazzling light turned Qian’er’s face as pale as ice.

Gu Bailu took out a sharp blade from Xiao Xiao’s box.

Xiao Xiao seldom performed surgery. He had only used this blade once five years ago.

Under their gazes, Gu Bailu calmly cut open Qian’er’s belly.

Lu Fenying clenched his fists in fear.

Would this really work? Would she kill Mo Qian’er?

The baby was gone, but at least the mother was still alive.

He wanted to stop Gu Bailu, but in the end, he remained where he was.

Gu Bailu had saved Su Muwei in the same way. Wasn’t Su Muwei still alive?

Gu Bailu soon opened the womb, but she couldn’t remain calm when faced with the baby.

“There’s no heartbeat.”

Xiao Xiao’s cruel voice rang out.

Eyes red, Gu Bailu carefully removed the baby and cut the umbilical cord.

She couldn’t help but cry.

Xiao Xiao passed the baby to Lu Fenying and silently took over from Gu Bailu.

Lu Fenying looked at the red and wrinkly thing in his hands. It didn’t seem heavy at all.

He couldn’t even make out its features.

Was this his child?

He gently covered the baby’s chest with his hand. His heart had stopped beating, and he was covered in blood.

Lu Fenying looked at the baby. He had died in his mother’s womb without even opening his eyes.

Lu Fenying had once sworn that as long as he had a child, he would never treat them the way his parents treated him. He would be a good father and give them all his love.

But... he couldn’t even save his life!

So what if he had so much spiritual power and authority?

He could only hold his flesh and blood and look at his eyes which had closed before he could meet the world.

Lu Fenying pursed his lips. His eyes were misty.

However, he was still Lu Fenying, and he didn’t let his tears fall. Holding his bloody son tightly with both hands, he swore that he would make the person who harmed him suffer a hundred times over.

Gu Bailu sobbed, not knowing if she had done anything wrong.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If she hadn’t taken Qian’er out of the crown prince’s residence, Qian’er might have been able to give birth to the baby.

Lu Fenying needed this baby.

Why did fate have to be so cruel to Qian’er? She had been weak and cowardly for so long, but she had escaped the crown prince’s residence for her baby.

The baby had made her brave, but the baby was gone. How would she be able to accept that?

She would definitely be unable to take it, and follow the baby.

Gu Bailu stood up, wiped her tears, and walked over to Lu Fenying. “Your Highness, there’s no hope for the baby. Do you want to save the mother?”
