Chapter 444

She wanted to cry but had no more tears left, her eyes gradually becoming sad, as she turned her face to the side. Innumerable bitter and sour feelings surged up from her heart...

She slowly traced the Eldest Prince's handsome eyebrows with her eyes, yet her heart was as cold and dead as a desolate wasteland...

How much she loved the Eldest Prince! But what could she do?

When the Eldest Prince woke up, he would definitely loathe her right?

Gu Ying looked up, forcing back the surging tears in her eyes. The more she didn't want to cry, the more the tears kept flowing without stop.

She had already prepared for the worst. Exhausted, she covered her aching and tight heart, slowly letting go of the man's big hand in her palm.

Su Huanfeng and Huai An looked at the woman puzzled, not understanding.

Gu Ying's voice was hoarse and powerless. "You guys go out first... Let me calm down for a while, okay?"

Su Huanfeng didn't know what had happened. Just seeing the woman's tearful red eyes, he felt heartache. "Young Madam... The Eldest Prince will definitely be alright. You must take care of yourself."

"Young Master, walk slowly..."

"I..."

"Jiangjiang, send them out for me..."

Behind her was some rustling noise. After a while, in the huge room, only Gu Ying was left.

She stared blankly at the Eldest Prince's side.

Even unconscious, the man's appearance was still coldly noble and aloof.

Especially that devilishly handsome side profile and sword-like eyebrows, it made people's hearts race just looking.

She wanted to reach out and touch his straight nose, but shrank back in fear, suddenly somewhat flustered and ashamed...

Someone like her, it was already a blessing to marry him. And now, all her ugly sides were exposed.

How could she defile his body, so clean and righteous?

"Ah Ying..."

After sending the people out, Ye Zhuojiang came in, heavily sighing at the sight of Gu Ying's dejected back.

He was an observer, setting up this chess game to see her choose between the Eldest Prince and her child.

Gu Ying laughed bitterly through her fury, tears flowing even more in her eyes.

In her past life, he had already loathed the child in her belly. After just over a month, he couldn't wait to make her drink abortion medicine.

This life, it was still this child.

Yet he used another cruel method to kill him!

Jiang Yin, that heartless monster!

She had already chosen to escape from his side, so why wouldn't he let her and the child go!

Gu Ying's whole body trembled. Her fingers dug deeply into her palms until fresh blood seeped out, yet she didn't notice at all.

Ye Zhuojiang said in a deep tone, "Ah Ying, we still have three days to make a decision... No matter what, after three days we should try... Otherwise the Eldest Prince really won't make it."

Before leaving, he patted Gu Ying's shoulder, his tone heavy. "Ah Ying, I hope you and the child live well..."

Gu Ying didn't move. She sat stiffly in front of the bed, tears once again blurring her eyes.

...

Layer upon layer of autumn rain brought chill. Inside and outside the Changfeng Pavilion was desolate silence.

None of the serving maids and servants dared speak loudly. From time to time footsteps sounded, only Yin Lan carrying a crimson platter to send meals to Gu Ying's room.

The sound of rain dripped drop by drop onto the rockery outside the window. A night of wind and rain, the banana trees were broken and tattered.

Gu Ying kept vigil at the Eldest Prince's bedside, not sleeping the entire night.

She had flipped through all the medical books, but still couldn't find a good detoxification method.

The only way was Jiangjiang's unorthodox method.

She had no appetite at all and couldn't eat anything.

Early next morning, Ye Zhuojiang had all the people in the residence come to the Changfeng Pavilion to test their blood compatibility with the Eldest Prince.

With so many people in Bianjing, there must be quite a few whose blood was compatible with the Eldest Prince's. But with so many people... How long would she have to test?
