The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Chapter 222 Chu Xinglan's Guilt

Chu Xinglan, Gu Ye, and Xue Bai were all waiting outside the emergency room.

Ye's mother was mostly unharmed, but Ye Xiaoxiao's condition was critical.

After the doctor came out, Xue Bai quickly pulled him aside and asked, "Dr. Wang, how is Xiaoxiao?"

Dr. Wang shook his head: "The situation is not optimistic. The pregnant woman is in great danger, and the baby may not survive."

Chu Xinglan felt extremely guilty after hearing what Dr. Wang said.

Shirley is right, it's all because of her. If it weren't for her, Ye Xiaoxiao wouldn't have experienced this.

"What do you mean 'can't be saved'? How can it be lost?" Xue Bai angrily grabbed Dr. Wang's collar. "Aren't you the best doctor? I want you to hold them, mother and child, Xiao Xiao and the baby, I want to hold them both."

"Old Xue, of course I will save you if I can, but right now, I can't do anything. Let alone two people, it would be difficult to even hold one."

Dr. Wang understood Xue Bai's feelings, but there was nothing he could do.

Xue Bai staggered, then closed his eyes in pain.

"If I can only save one, I want Xiaoxiao to live."

Although he desperately wanted to keep their son, he had already decided what to name him and how to be a good father...

"Did you hear me? I want Xiaoxiao to live, no matter what. She must live."

Xue Bai excitedly grabbed Dr. Wang's collar and said indignantly.

"Okay, okay, I'll operate on her right away." Dr. Wang said, forcefully shaking off Xue Bai's hand and rushing into the operating room.

Chu Xinglan threw herself into Gu Ye's arms and sobbed.

Gu Ye tenderly stroked her head. He looked at Xue Bai, unsure how to comfort his bewildered brother.

A short while later, Dr. Wang came out again, looking flustered.

"What's wrong?" Xue Bai asked nervously, afraid of getting bad news from Dr. Wang.

"Mrs. Xue is unwilling to cooperate with the treatment," Dr. Wang said with difficulty.

Xue Bai was initially surprised, but quickly understood what was going on.

"Go and try to persuade her. There's no way to save this child. He's seriously injured and has already stopped breathing." Dr. Wang looked at Xue Bai.

Xue Bai felt a sharp pain in his chest; those words struck him like a heavy hammer, making it hard for him to bear.

"I understand," he said with difficulty, and walked into the operating room.

Chu Xinglan and Gu Ye followed immediately inside.

"Xue Bai, we must save the child, okay?"

With no trace of blood left, Ye Xiaoxiao stared at Xue Bai with despair in her eyes and spoke in a barely audible voice.

"Xiaoxiao, we're still young, and we'll have children in the future." Xue Bai tried his best to keep his voice normal. If he could make her feel that he didn't care that much about the child, perhaps her obsession wouldn't be so strong.

"But that's different!" Ye Xiaoxiao wouldn't listen at all. She touched her stomach with her hand. "I killed him. I abandoned him. He will blame me... So... if it's a life for a life, I'll give my life. I just want him to live."

"Xiaoxiao, listen to me, he won't blame you, you've done your best."

Xue Bai didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only coax her like this.

Chu Xinglan suddenly rushed out, ran to the bathroom, and closed the door.

Gu Ye was worried about her and followed closely behind. When he saw her lock herself in the bathroom, he became even more worried.

"Lanlan, come out here." Gu Ye knocked on the door.

"Gu Ye...please leave me alone." Chu Xinglan's voice choked with emotion.

Gu Ye stood outside the door, saying nothing more.

Chu Xinglan slowly slumped to the ground, overwhelmed with pain as she thought about how she had caused Ye Xiaoxiao's death.

How could she be so careless? How could she not have thought that a woman as wicked as Shirley would not hurt the people around her?

If she had taken precautions earlier, Ye Xiaoxiao and her unborn child would not have been in trouble.

She was so stupid, so foolish, thinking she could control that woman Shirley and let her stay by her side. If she had dealt with Shirley sooner, none of this would have happened.

"Chu Xinglan, you self-righteous fool." Chu Xinglan slapped herself several times, her snow-white cheeks turning bright red.

"Mommy, what's wrong? Why are you hurting yourself?"

Just as Chu Xinglan was about to continue slapping herself, the little baby suddenly grabbed her hand.

Chu Xinglan looked at the little baby in front of her, hugged her tightly, and cried her heart out.

“I know, I know this feeling, the feeling of losing the person you care about most. This pain is indescribable, so Ye Xiaoxiao would rather give her own life to save her child’s life.”

If she lost her baby, she would probably be devastated, so she could understand Ye Xiaoxiao very well.

She wouldn't have lost her child; she could have given birth to her child peacefully, and the family could have lived happily ever after. But because of the consequences, only one of the adults and the child could survive.

"Mommy, don't cry, don't be sad!" The little baby tried hard to wipe away Chu Xinglan's tears, but Chu Xinglan's tears only increased, like a flood that had burst its banks, and there was no way to stop them.

"What should I do? How can I compensate her with a son?"

Chu Xinglan kept repeating this sentence.

She was truly desperate. She didn't know how to make up for the mistake she had made, a mistake that was unforgivable.

"Lanlan, Lanlan."

Seeing that there was still no movement inside, Gu Ye became increasingly uneasy and knocked on the door harder, but there was still no response.

He couldn't wait any longer.

Gu Ye walked to the door, raised his foot, and kicked it hard, breaking the door.

Chu Xinglan knelt on the ground like a devout believer, kowtowing repeatedly.

"God, I beg you, help me, save them."

"Lanlan, don't do this." Gu Ye quickly hugged her, stopping her from continuing this self-harming behavior.

"If something really happens to them, I will never be able to forgive myself!"

As Chu Xinglan spoke, she pushed Gu Ye away and continued to kneel on the ground, kowtowing vigorously.

"God gave us a miracle, why can't we give them the same miracle? I'd do anything to bring about a miracle."

"Lanlan, this isn't your fault. Don't punish yourself like this." Gu Ye hugged her tightly, feeling heartbroken.

"Don't try to comfort me. It's all because of me. Shirley only approached Xiaoxiao because of me, and it's because of me that Xiaoxiao and her son ended up like this. It's all my fault."

Chu Xinglan struggled out of Gu Ye's arms and continued to kneel and worship the so-called gods in the void.

Seeing her like this, Gu Ye had no choice but to knock her unconscious.

"Lanlan, why don't you take a nap?" Gu Ye picked her up from the ground.

His handsome brows furrowed. She knew this was only temporary. Once Chu Xinglan woke up and learned the outcome, she would still do something to atone for her sins by hurting herself.

He really didn't know how to ease her guilt.
