Chapter 1309: Chapter 1312: That Child, Unhealthy Chapter 1309: Chapter 1312: That Child, Unhealthy “Heh, do you have anything left that’s worth trusting?” The man sneered, his lips curling with sarcasm.

“You said you wanted to explain, fine, I won’t say I never gave you a chance.”

“If you can come up with a reason that can deceive both me and yourself, maybe I would let that guy exist for a few more days.”

The ‘guy’ he was referring to was another personality of Aidan Lucas.

Lily was momentarily stunned, hope rekindling in her eyes.

Even if Aidan Lucas’s words were harsh and cruel, as long as he was willing to listen to her explanation, that was enough.

Her misty, peach blossom eyes shined with hope as she looked up at Aidan Lucas and said, word by word, “I wanted to abort the child only because I feared there might be something wrong with the child, I feared he might be born unhealthy…”

Whether the child belonged to the first or the second personality did not matter at all.

To her, both personalities were Aidan Lucas, their souls and qualities were always the same; they were inherently one.

“Unhealthy…”

The man’s icy eyes finally shed their earlier dimness.

“Why?” he asked hoarsely, his tone carrying a hint of tension he himself did not notice.

Even though he didn’t want to admit it, at that moment, the light that had long since died in his world seemed about to be rekindled by the woman before him.

Perhaps she had her reasons.

The child might have a problem, so she wanted to abort.

It was not because it was his child, that she didn’t love him.

Lily, hearing Aidan Lucas’s question, immediately wanted to explain.

But as the words reached her lips, she suddenly froze, unable to speak.

The water-light in her peach blossom eyes dimmed bit by bit.

She suddenly realized that she had thought of it all too simply.

The misunderstanding she thought could be resolved through an explanation was actually an act that could never gain Aidan Lucas’s forgiveness.

A misunderstanding was not just a misunderstanding.

She indeed had done something to hurt this man.

At the very least, when she secretly started taking contraceptives, she had already hurt him.

Lily could not deceive herself, nor could she deceive Aidan Lucas; she indeed hadn’t treated him as an equal.

Her initial approach to him was not pure at all.

“Come on, why aren’t you speaking?” Aidan Lucas noticed the change in Lily’s eyes and suddenly felt unsettled.

He hated her, but he wanted to hear her explanation even more.

He would rather she lie to him than see her wearing such a defeated, ashen expression.

“Don’t you have a reason? Don’t you have lots of excuses to fend me off? Why aren’t you speaking… speak, speak!”

Unable to suppress the turmoil and anger in his heart, Aidan Lucas fiercely grabbed Lily’s collar and questioned her.

Almost pulling the petite her off the bed.

Despite her ankle still being swollen, despite the injuries on her legs and arms.

Every time Aidan Lucas shook her, those injured areas would rub against the bed, bringing waves of pain.

But now, compared to the heart-wrenching pain in her heart, this physical pain hardly mattered.

From start to finish, Lily kept her jaws clenched, not saying a word.

The woman who would have been drenched in cold sweat from the pain just moments ago, now didn’t even groan.

She couldn’t speak; she didn’t want to.

She dared not tell Aidan Lucas the truth… she, too, was scared.

Lily no longer wanted to disappoint the second personality, nor… to let him despair.
