Chapter 386: Chapter 385 Let's Get Divorced (17)
After an unknown duration, the red light in the operating room switched off, and the door opened, revealing a
doctor in a white robe, who removed his mask as he stepped out.
Xiao Chen moved his stiff eyeballs to look at the doctor, but the doctor's expression was solemn. He approached
Xiao Chen, sighed lightly, "We did everything we could; the child could not be saved."
The child could not be saved...
Xiao Chen's feet wobbled momentarily as if he couldn't stand firmly, lurching suddenly and stumbling back a few
steps before he managed to steady himself.
As the doctor sighed and walked away, Xiao Chen stared wide-eyed, unwittingly looking down at his own hands.
His hands were stained with Ling Chuxia’s blood, now long since dried—not as startlingly crimson as before, yet
this dulled red was like a knife, deeply plunging into his heart.
All of this was Chuxia’s child's blood, all of it...
His hands began to tremble violently, uncontrollably.
If... if he hadn't hesitated just now, if he had promptly carried Ling Chuxia to the doctor, perhaps her child
wouldn't have died.
Though he wasn’t the direct murderer, he was an indirect accomplice, indirectly responsible for the death of such
an innocent life...
Xiao Chen's entire body shook uncontrollably, his eyes gradually consumed by guilt and pain.

He was a doctor; his duty was to save lives and heal injuries, but now, his hands were tainted with a child's
blood...
His strength seemed to drain from him in an instant, his legs gave way, and he suddenly knelt down, "I'm sorry...
Chuxia, I'm sorry, baby... I'm sorry."
Xiao Chen's phone rang for a while before he answered it. Barely managing a "hello," Ling Yunshu's voice
eagerly cthrough, "How are things on your end?"
"The child... is gone," Xiao Chen's voice was hoarse yet stiff, with an undertone of extrdarkness.
On the phone, Ling Yunshu paused for a moment and then slowly laughed, her voice clearly relieved, "That's
good."
Xiao Chen felt as if something was clutching at him, making it nearly impossible to breathe, something forced
him to speak, "Yun Shu, that child was innocent after all..."
But before he could finish, Ling Yunshu coldly scoffed, interrupting him, "Innocent? Who isn’t innocent? Xiao
Chen, don’t forget what my past three years were like! Wasn't | innocent?"
Xiao Chen's words choked in his
throat. He knew all too well the kind

As he closed the door, Xiao Chen still murmured softly, "Chuxia, I'm sorry, | can’t abandon Yun Shu. Whatever
she wants, | have to help her get it."
