Chapter 264
The light in the bathroom was dimmer. In disbelief, Shu Tian took another test stick. When she saw that
the result, she almost fell off the toilet, with cold sweat on her forehead. She struggled to put on her
trousers. Then, she tried to stand up, but she was too weak, so she fell back down again.
Her left hand accidentally landed on her lower abdomen, where it was flat, but at this moment, there
was a life growing inside.
She was surprised, but at the same time, she was filled with mixed feelings. It was as if she and the
baby were connected by an invisible and wonderful thing. As she breathed, the little thing in her belly
was also breathing. Only a mother could feel this special feeling.
When did she get pregnant? Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Shu Tian didn't know how long she had been pregnant now, so she tried to recall the date of her last
period. Her period had rarely been delayed. If so, it would be delayed for only a few days. She and Li
Han always took precautions, except for that time in the hospital. He had been tired, and she had been
extremely nervous at that time. They had both needed comfort, so they had enjoyed themselves
without thinking about precautions. After that, she was involved in the case and did not take a pill.
It was more than a month ago, and she did not have her period this month.
Shu Tian was speechless. She forgot to take a pill only once, but she was pregnant.
She was pregnant with Li Han's child.
Her mind was in a mess, filled with mixed thoughts so that she couldn't think straight. The safest way
now was to go to the hospital and have a check to make sure that she was pregnant. After all, the test
stick might malfunction, but at this point, it was obviously impossible for her to go to the hospital.
As long as she went to the hospital, Li Han would get the knews. She couldn't take the risk. She didn't
dare to trust that man anymore.
What would happen if he knew?
They were not married, and she was accused of murder. He probably would ask her to get an abortion,
or they would be in much trouble.
Thinking of this, Shu Tian felt a chill all over. Even stroking her belly couldn't make her feel happy.
She had to keep it a secret. Considering the test stick and the sickness, she was sure she was
pregnant. She had to accept and believe the result.
She loved Li Han, so when she saw the result of the stick, she was surprised but wanted to cry with
happiness more. No matter how much she wanted to deny it, she couldn't deceive herself even if she
could lie to others.
These mixed feelings almost drove her crazy, making her out of breath. She couldn't imagine how he
would react if she told Li Han about her pregnancy.
Would he pick her up, swirl a few times, kiss her on the forehead and say, "Give birth to the child"? Or
would he look at her coldly and say, "We can't keep the child now"?
Would he have the joy of being a father for the first time?
Shu Tian's eyes were red when she was thinking of how happy they would be, but she quickly shook
her head. "No, he... probably won't keep the child."
Even she knew that this child had come at a bad time, not to mention the prudent Li Han. They were in
trouble now, so they had no energy to welcome this child.
Did she need to abort the child?
Shu Tian only gave it a thought but felt a bit of pain in her belly. Even though it was just an embryo, it
did exist and she couldn't help caring about it.
She liked it and wanted to keep it, but she couldn't. How sad!
Shu Tian could not hold back the tears rolling in her eyes. Fearing that she would cry out loud, she
quickly took a stack of tissues and covered her mouth. She bit her lips and did not make a sound, but
her body trembled uncontrollably.
Her left hand was gently placed on her belly. She sobbed and thought, "Baby, just give me mother a
little more time. Just a little more..."
Li Han had had several grueling days for the lawsuit, but he had never forgotten Shu Tian. Her case
would be taken to court soon. She needed to be locked up in a detention center in the suburbs and was
sent there at night to avoid the reporters.
He was worried about her and decided to follow. He closed the file and left for the police station. On the
way, he took a nap. From time to time, the driver looked in the rearview mirror, saw him resting his
head against the window, and felt pifyful for Li Han.
Along the way, the driver drove steadily. When they reached the police station, he said softly, "Mr. Li,
we are here."
Li Han opened his eyes immediately. His eyes were bloodshot, revealing his exhaustion.
Without saying a word, he opened the door, got out, and walked towards the police station. He was
kind of scurrying now, evidence that he was anxious and that he was concerned about the person
inside.
The driver looked at the police van in the yard which was different from the private car. It was equipped
with an iron net outside, frightening. He sighed, hoping for a good result so that Li Han and Shu Tian
could have a happy life.
When Li Han got in, Shu Tian had changed into the uniform for the detention center. Fortunately, she
did not have to wear handcuffs and ankles, which retained part of her dignity.
Li Han glanced at her clothes and his heart ached for her. He took a step forward and held her in his
arms. "Bear with it for several days. I'll get you out!"
Shu Tian felt his warm embrace, but she was still cold. She stood still like a tree rooted to the spot in
his arms.
"Mr. Li, Miss Shu, it's getting late. Get in the car." The police officer reminded them from behind. The
director was also waiting outside. This was not a small case, and Li Han was involved, so they had to
attach great importance to it and ensure that they made no mistakes.
Shu Tian and Li Han walked out, one from the left door and one right. This was the first time she had
breathed fresh air outside in so many days, and she found it refreshing even at night.
It turned out that freedom was so important.
Shu Tian resisted the urge to cry and made a choice.
On the way to the detention center, Li Han sat in the front seat while she was in the back seat. There
was a barbed wire between them. For the first time, she felt real about the fact that she was a criminal.
When they were about to reach the detention center, Shu Tian called out softly, "Li Han."
He turned around with nervousness in his eyes. "What's wrong?"
Shu Tian looked at his eyes. She used to be joyful to see them, but now she felt pained. The sentence
that "I am pregnant" was on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Li Han saw her hesitant look and asked with concern, "What is it?"
Shu Tian gritted her teeth and said slowly, "Do you want a child?"
They were in the police van. Her abrupt question confused Li Han. After a while, he came back to his
senses. His eyes darkened a little as he asked, "Why did you ask it suddenly?"
Shu Tian got tense. Afraid that he would find something, she answered hurriedly, "No, I just feel that
things change every second. It's good to have a child."
She had experienced a lot of serious things recently, and it was not surprising that she felt this way.
However, Li Han's mind was in a mess, so he didn't think too much. He comforted, "I see. When this is
over, we'll get married."
He had expressed his desire to marry her more than once. In the past, she had hesitated because of
his parents, her parents, and how others would think of her. Now she had been accused of murder and
arrested, and she realized that those things were trivial.
Shu Tian didn't say anything more. When she was taken out of the van and entered the detention
center, it was time to part with him. Then, she looked at Li Han in his shirt and trousers. Although he
looked haggard, he was still handsome. On the contrary, she was too thin and not so pretty.
Shu Tian seemed to notice the invisible gap between them. They were clearly in love with each other,
but something quietly changed, and their relationship would never be what it used to be.
Li Han had no idea what she was thinking, but he could see clearly her sad look. He walked to her,
regardless of the rules, grabbed the back of her neck with one hand, and pulled her to him. He lowered
his head and kissed her dry and cold lips...
