Hearing her pour out her heart, Lu Jingxing could only embrace her and say consolingly,
"If that day truly comes, I will only treat that woman as a tool. Didn't I promise you that I would get rid of the mother and keep the child?"
Wanyun said through her sobs, "But she would be a living woman, and people have feelings.
"That woman would be carrying your child. How could you not feel for her? When the time comes, could you really go through with it?
"Besides, I don't want to be the reason another woman's life is ruined, and I couldn't bear to see a mother and child separated.
"Isn't getting rid of the mother to keep the child cruel to that woman?
"Even if I could be heartless enough to do it, when that child grows up and learns the truth, how they would hate you, and how they would hate me?"
Wanyun said in utter anguish, "My husband, perhaps it was right for us to separate that day."
