Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Molly tried to open her eyes, yet the blood in her eyes made her feel like she was looking into a world

of hellfire.

She couldn't move her body at all, and her breathing was weak and shallow.

However, the instinctive toughness as a mother strengthened her, and she managed to overcome the

fear in her heart. She opened her mouth with difficulty and said in a weak, but determined tone,

"Don't...hurt him, please. I... beg you, doctor. Please... don't take away my baby... from... me."

Dr. He stared at Molly and a shade of sadness flashed through him. Throughout his career, he had

operated on many different patients, most of whom had survived the operating table, yet, some others

weren't so lucky. He had witnessed many people who went into their long sleep and he was by now

used to those heart-breaking parting moments. However, when he saw Molly's pale face and bloody

eyes, he was taken aback by the strength of this young mother.

"Even if he ends up... with some complications because of this... " Molly said in an extremely weak

tone, and every word seemed to take up all her energy, "He is my baby... after all. I... I... don't want...

to... end his life this way..."

After she finally finished speaking, a drop of tear trickled down her cheek. The tear was bloody red, and

it looked horrific in the harsh light of the operating lamps.

Tears kept welling out from Molly's eyes, and she couldn't repress them, regardless of the sharp pain in

her eyes. Even so, she was pierced to the heart with grief which went beyond the pain in her body.

When she had heard Brian's words, she had felt like she was left totally alone in this world once again.

She had thought that after her retinas were given to Becky just as Brian and Becky had wished, she

would bid farewell to the world on this icy cold operating table.

But then, she heard from the nurse that she was pregnant. Her whole world trembled when she found

out about the existence of this little life. She had felt both joy and grief, but more than that, she was

perplexed and stumped wondering about the baby's fate. When the nurse suggested that she should

have an abortion, she had thrown away her own miserable experiences out of her mind. The only

thought in her mind was that she wanted to protect her baby!

"Doctor... I beg you... please." Her sobbing and hoarse voice was filled with despair. Her bloody tears

dripped down on the operating table and stained the cloth red.

The operation room fell into silence. All the staff focused their attention on Molly. None of them knew

what Molly's exact condition was, except Dr. He. However, they all knew that Molly was very likely to go

blind while her kid might suffer from various complications because of her injuries. Everyone was

touched by Molly's request. They not only sympathized with her possibly miserable future, but also with

the dramatic tragedy in front of them.

"Miss Xia," said Dr. He with knitted eyebrows, "I hope you fully understand what might happen if you

keep the baby. The situation is quite complicated. If you are incredibly lucky, the baby might not get

affected at all. You're only one month along, so we can hope for the best. However, if things don't go

smoothly, the baby will definitely suffer from this ordeal."

Molly stared at Dr. He, but she could only see a blurry red figure. Due to the burst in the blood vessels

of her eyes, everything seemed bloody red to her. She gave a bitter smile with all her strength, and

then begged in anguish, "I know, but... he's... my only hope. Doctor, please."

The female nurses felt sorry for Molly when they heard her faint voice. Sniffling their noses, they tilted

their heads away as they didn't have the heart to see the bloody tears spilling from her eyes.

"Dr. He," said the nurse who had brought the examination report, with tears in her eyes, "Maybe we

should let her keep the baby. We can do another examination after a few months, and if there are any

complications, it won't be too late to go for an abortion at the time."

Dr. He knew her suggestion was apt. However, he also knew that it would cause a lot of harm to the

mother. Nevertheless, when he saw the mournful look on Molly's face, he couldn't say anything out

aloud to refuse. He just nodded his answer.

"Doctor," Molly said and swallowed hard. Her head ached from the slightest motion, and she was losing

consciousness because of the sharp pain. She pulled herself together and continued, "Could you...

please... do me... another favor? Please don't... tell... anyone else... about... the...baby."

Dr. He was in a dilemma. He had already risked a lot by deciding on helping her to keep the baby, and

he was afraid that Brian would blame him for not telling the truth that Molly was pregnant.

Molly figured out what he was thinking. She grabbed the cloth under her body tightly, then she gritted

her teeth and said, "Doctor, if you... if you...tell anyone about it... I won't... be... able to... keep...

my...baby. (cough) I... beg you. (cough) Please!"

Her injuries worsened as she kept talking, and she started to cough violently. The look on her face

contorted because of the pain, and she looked like she was about to cough up blood.

Dr. He fixed his rueful eyes on her and he eventually nodded his head, "Okay, I won't tell anyone about

it right now."

Molly's lips curled up into an awkward smile- it was a smile of trust and relief from a young mother.

When the staff in the room saw her distressing smiling face with bloody tears, they all had just one

thought in mind-- they must help this poor girl keep her secret. The truth would eventually reveal itself

in a few months, but till then, it would remain a secret.

They were running out of time. Molly lost consciousness after she had received Dr. He's promises. The

number on the electronic timer in the operation room kept moving, no matter what was happening

around it.

"Go and get the drug that Elias has left here," instructed Dr. He, hesitating for a moment after glancing

at the timer. It had already been four hours since Molly was brought here.

The nurse was taken aback by his instruction, "Dr. He, are you sure? Wasn't the drug left here for

research purposes?"

Dr. He glanced at Molly and replied, "Research can be done later. If we want to decrease the harm to

the baby to the lowest degree, our only choice is to use Elias's drug."
