Chapter 153: Celebrity / 2.19 : Never a choice
Yinglun ran down the stairs when a maid told her that Sicheng was back from work. She entered the living room and helped him take his jacket off and put his bag down. She sat next to him and asked:
"How was your day?"
Even if she doesn’t care she has to pretend. She can’t just ask did you speak to Atlas. Sicheng said:
"It was okay."
"Did you see Atlas?".
Sicheng nodded. Seeing that he wasn’t elaborating she asked:
"Did you talk to him about what we did?"
"I didn’t."
"Why?"
Sicheng pulled out a file from his bag as he explained:
"The laboratory at the hospital called me and they told me there was a specific reason why Atlas was a perfect match for you."
He pulled out a paper from the file and gave it to her.
Yinglun grabbed the paper and read it. She looked at it wide-eyed and felt her heartbeat quicken. She pretended to keep reading as she thought of a way to get out of this mess without Sicheng hating her.
She looked at Sicheng teary-eyed and said:
"I never told you this but one night I was going home alone and I was assaulted by a man. Not long after I was diagnosed and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to raise the baby so I decided to put it in an orphanage."
Yinglun cried and said:
"It was too painful to look at the baby, it kept reminding me of the night he was conceived."
Sicheng pulled out another paper and gave it to her. Yinglun read the paper and saw that Sicheng had performed a DNA test too to know if Atlas was his son. She looked at him and said not missing a beat:
"I can’t believe I put him in an orphanage when he was our baby."
She held Sicheng crying desperately. When she felt Sicheng patting her back she felt reassured. She knew he would believe her lies, she’s never seen someone as stupid as him.
When she pulled back Sicheng wiped her tears and said:
"Now the three of us can be a family."
Yinglun forced a smile, just the thought of it makes her want to throw up. She got rid of the baby because she didn’t want one so of course, she doesn’t want to play house.
At first, when she found out she was pregnant she was going to abort it until she met a couple who agreed to buy the baby. But a week before she gave birth they backed out and since she was almost done she gave birth to it and dropped it in an orphanage.
Yinglun asked:
"Do you think he will agree to save me?"
Sicheng said:
"You don’t plan on asking him right? You’ve seen what he went through in that orphanage. I don’t want him to think we want him back in our life just to use him."
Yinglun forced herself to calm down and said:
"I thought he was the abuser’s son, if I knew he was our baby of course I would’ve never put him in an orphanage. You know that right?"
"Of course I do."
Hearing that Yinglun said:
"Then you’ll still ask him to save me?"
"I don’t think he’ll agree."
"Then let’s do what we talked about."
Sicheng raised an eyebrow.
"You want us to blackmail our son, the son we abandoned?"
Losing patience Yinglun said:
"You swore that you would do anything to save me didn’t you mean it?"
"I did but I can’t blackmail, my son."
Yinglun sobbed and said looking down:
"I can’t believe you love him more than me."
She doesn’t give a damn about Atlas, he’ll give her his kidney no matter what. If he doesn’t do it willingly then she’ll make sure he has an accident.
SIcheng said:
"I could make sure he has a fatal accident so no one will know it was to get his kidney. But first, we need to make sure he signs a paper saying that he is our son or we won’t have any right over his body when he dies. Would you be okay with that?"
Yinglun immediately looked up and said:
"I am, we’ll invite him to dinner tomorrow and pretend we love him and that we want to be a family. You’ve seen how stupid he was when he lived with Yishang he’ll believe us then..."
Before Yinglun could finish her sentence Sicheng’s hand was around her neck.
Yinglun looked at him wide-eyed and she became scared when Sicheng’s aura became murderous.
"W-what are you doing?"
Sicheng smiled darkly.
"I just wanted to see how far you would go. You were right I love him more than I love you. When I invited him to the Christmas dinner it was to ask him if he’ll agree to be my son and sign the adoption papers I had prepared. I gave up on asking Atlas to save you a long time ago, I was more scared about him hating me than you dying and that was before I knew he was my son."
Yinglun looked at him shocked, all this time she thought he had her back but he never did. How could he care more about a brat than the woman he’s been in love with for more than 20 years?
She can’t believe she wasted her time with him. She’ll get a divorce and find someone new who will be able to help her. To think she signed that prenup for nothing.
Yinglun tried to get out of his chokehold but couldn’t, she yelled:
"Let me go!"
Sicheng chuckled.
"Do you think I’ll ever let you walk this earth when you kept my son away from me all those years?"
He can let go of the fact that she only reconnected with him because she knew he would have the resources to save her, or that she broke up with him to marry a rich man but he’ll never forgive her for keeping Atlas away from him.
He told her that if he has a son he’ll cherish him and make him feel loved, she knew full well what kind of childhood he had yet she dared to do this to him. If that wasn’t bad enough she makes up a story about being abused.
He can’t believe how utterly blind he was before, everything that comes out of that woman’s mouth is a lie. Now his son might never forgive him. No matter what he’ll never stop trying but seeing the resentment in Atlas’ eyes broke his heart.
Yinglun sobbed:
"How can you kill me when you said you love me?"
"The love I felt for you is nothing compared to what I feel for my son. There was never a choice to make."
He tightened his hold and Yinglun said with difficulty:
"Atlas won’t forgive you if you kill his mother."
At that Sicheng’s eyes darken and his hold was so tight that her neck snapped in half. He dropped her body with disgust and looked at his guards.
"Get rid of her."
Sicheng stood up and left after the guards nodded.
