Chapter 1115: It was all his fault; it would have been better if we had never met.

“You gotta live a better life than him! You should take good care of the kids so that, if you meet him in the future, you can proudly tell him that it’s his loss to have betrayed you!”
Her best friend’s remark cut into Pei Ge’s heart deeply like a spell.
Stuck in her self-reproach earlier, she came around after her best friend’s talk and the aura around her changed subtly.
“You can’t keep doing this. You’re a mother of two now...”
Seeing that she had come around, Tang Xiaoyu’s voice evened out.
“Nobody wanted for something like this to happen. Don’t think too much; you didn’t ask for any of these to happen.”
The woman in bed calmed down upon hearing that.
She took a tissue, gently wiped away the tears on her face, and looked at her best friend.
“Thank you...” she said gratefully, knowing that her behavior had been too outrageous.
She could not control her emotions earlier, though.
Whenever she thought of how she had lost a child, her heart would ache as if it were being ripped apart.
“Sigh... It’s good that you’ve come around.” Tang Xiaoyu heaved a sigh in relief when she saw that she had truly recovered.
“Don’t do this next time. You scared me! I was so scared by the state you were in yesterday and earlier!”
She began teasing her upon seeing that the latter’s mood had improved.
She knew that things were still bad right now, but she wanted her best friend to feel more at ease. It was good for her body.
After all, the doctor said that she could have postpartum depression if not intervened.
“By the way, I’ve seen our precious daughter and son. They’re so adorable!”
She started talking about the things that would make her best friend happy, but the more she talked about it, the more Pei Ge was reminded of her lost child—the one that... she did not even have the chance to see...
The child was gone even before he had the chance to see the world...
Tang Xiaoyu chastised herself when she saw Pei Ge’s eyes turning red again.
She just had to mention that, and she had only managed to calm her best friend, too. Now...
“How many times must I tell you? Nobody wanted you to lose the child. It’s not your fault; if we should blame someone, that’d be Ji Ziming! If not for him doing those things, you wouldn’t...”
As she spoke, she got increasingly indignant.
Originally, it was just to transfer the blame on the man and to coax her best friend into not blaming herself, but the more she spoke, the more felt that she was right.
Everything that had happened was because of that man.
If he had not pestered Pei Ge, she would not have fallen in love with him.
If he had not said that he wanted to marry her, her best friend would not have gotten pregnant.
If he had not betrayed her best friend and gotten someone else pregnant, then her best friend’s body would not have been in that state.
If he had not shown himself on that lousy TV and gotten engaged in such a high-profile manner, Pei Ge would not have... given birth prematurely, nor would she have lost a child...
“Yes... It’s all his fault. If I had never met him, how great... that would have been...”
Just as she was complaining about the man inwardly, she heard her best friend’s remark.
The words her best friend uttered shocked her.
However, she quickly realized that it was because she had blurted out everything she had been thinking.
“Ah!”
She covered her mouth and blinked, feeling a little awkward.
“Er... Don’t bother yourself with that jerk...”
She was about to say something else to change the topic but was cut off by the other woman.
“I’m done with him now. Even if he appears before me and gets married to someone else, I won’t feel anything,” Pei Ge said evenly, her voice full of ice.
“He caused the death of my child; I’ll never forgive him...”
She heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her best friend’s words.
“That’s right! We won’t think about that jerk anymore! We will just focus on taking care of our precious little ones from now on,” she said gently, reaching out to grip her best friend’s hand.
Feeling the heat encircling her hand, Pei Ge’s broken heart was warmed.
“I’d like to see... my babies again...” she said softly, looking at her with a smile.
“Don’t worry about seeing the children. You should focus on recuperating. Are you hungry? I’ll get Egger to get you some food.”
With how natural it was for Tang Xiaoyu to boss the man around, the woman in bed thought that it was a little weird.
However, because her thoughts were not on him, she did not pay much attention to it.
“I’m not hungry; I just want to see my children...”
After she lost a child, she treasured her remaining kids even more, afraid that they might leave her, too.
“Okay. Put on additional clothes and I’ll go with you to see our precious little ones.”
Seeing the pleading and worry on her face, her best friend relented.
In the end, after the two of them cleaned up and headed to the nursery, they overheard Egger’s conversation with the doctor.
The two women were about to go up and say ‘hi’, but—
“Mr. Egger, while the older boy’s body is functioning well and everything is fine with him, the younger girl might not make it because of being born prematurely. Her heart didn’t develop fully, and she’s showing signs of... having a congenital heart defect.”
