In that mission, Lu Huai became an undercover agent beside a high-ranking official. In order to gather evidence, she did not hesitate to entrust herself to a man who was old enough to be her father. In the end, she accidentally got pregnant.
Lu Huai, who was also placed at the top, suddenly changed her temperament after having her own child and insisted on giving birth to this child.
The organization could not tolerate her leaving without permission after knowing so many secrets. Out of trust in Shi Man’s strength and in a test of her stand, the leader sent Shi Man to deal with Lu Huai.
At that time, it was also in such a hospital. Shi Man quietly watched as Lu Huai touched her stomach with difficulty for a prenatal checkup.
The corridor of the hospital was always filled with the strong smell of disinfectant. It seemed that she had suffered countless injuries in the past few years, causing her body to be completely deficient. Pregnancy was undoubtedly a life-threatening burden to her.
At that time, Lu Huai was no longer as high-spirited as before. Her face was pale.
Shi Man followed behind her softly for more than ten minutes before she finally noticed.
When Lu Huai saw her, she understood something. The pregnancy test report in her hand slid down lightly, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye. “I can’t give birth to this child, right?”
Shi Man looked at Lu Huai, who was completely different from before, expressionlessly and led her to the rooftop of the hospital without saying a word.
Lu Huai looked at the traffic downstairs and suddenly smiled foolishly, but the smile did not reach her eyes. “Shi Man, actually, I quite admire you. You’ll always be so calm and self-controlled. You’ll never be tied down by feelings.”
As she spoke, Lu Huai had already walked to the edge of the rooftop. She turned around and looked at Shi Man with tears in his eyes. “I want to ask you, do you treat me as a friend in your heart?”
At that time, Shi Man did not have these unnecessary feelings in her heart. To her, completing the mission of the organization was the entire meaning of her life. The other mercenaries in the organization were only her colleagues and would even become her enemies at the critical moments.
Therefore, she had never taken it to heart when it came to Lu Huai. It was only on that day that she really looked at her former partner’s face seriously and realized that she had already become skinny.
Lu Huai saw that she was silent and knew the answer. She smiled bitterly and lowered her eyes, her face ashen. “I really hope that you will always be so unrestrained in the future and not be tied down by any feelings that shouldn’t exist.”
“Shi Man, never fall in love with any man.”
The wind on the rooftop was a little noisy, lifting Lu Huai’s clothes and fluttering them in the air.
Shi Man did not hear what she said in the end. She only saw the beautiful figure suddenly jump off the rooftop with a desperate expression. Her clothes fluttered in the air and she finally fell to the ground.
She came back to her senses and the pregnant woman in front of her waved her hand in front of her eyes in a daze. “Young lady, why are you distracted here? Don’t you have a family?”
The pregnant woman looked at her sympathetically and stroked her stomach. She comforted her softly. “You look young. It must be your first time being pregnant. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can tell me. This is my second child. I’m very experienced.”
Shi Man looked at her coldly, her eyes reflecting the lights above her head. “No, thank you. I’m going to look for my friend.”
In the ward, after Bai Xue slowly woke up, she saw an anxious-looking girl sitting by her bed. She was so frightened that she immediately sat up. However, because her movement were too big, it hurt her already fragile abdomen. She felt so uncomfortable that she bent down to cover her stomach.
Su Tang hurriedly went over to take a look and comforted her anxiously. “Don’t be afraid. I don’t have any ill intentions. I’ll go call a doctor for you now.” “Who are you?” Bai Xue forced herself to stand up. Her entire body was soaked in sweat.
Su Tang was about to explain to her, but she was afraid that she would ruin Shi Man’s matter if she spoke nonsense. She hurriedly took out her phone to inform Shi Man, but unexpectedly, the door of the ward was suddenly opened from the outside.
When Su Tang saw who it was, joy appeared on her face. “You’re finally back!”
On the contrary, Bai Xue’s face seemed to be even paler. Her eyes flickered as if she was trying her best to avoid something.
Shi Man looked down at her from top to bottom, her expression still indifferent. “Are you reluctant to part with your child, or did Bai Yao control your other relatives?”
Su Tang’s stunned gaze slowly turned to Bai Xue on the bed, and she happened to catch a flash of guilt in her eyes.
Shi Man sat in Su Tang’s seat and said expressionlessly, “I’ll give you one last chance. I said 1 can help you, but 1 won’t…”
She slowly shifted her gaze to Bai Xue’s belly, which was not showing at all. “If you don’t say it, I’ll immediately free this child. I’m not as good-tempered as my brother. Everything is up to your choice.”
Bai Xue’s body trembled violently, and her dry lips opened and closed. In the end, she closed her eyes and said in despair, “What can you help me with? Bai Yao took my mother away. Can you help me save her?”
Only then did Shi Man smile. Her tone was firm. “I can..”
