Chapter 215: Gunshots

The gun in Xiao Chen’s hand and the lunatic’s hand sounded almost simultaneously, and Fang Liu fell to the ground.

Was she going to die? Was this the end for Fang Liu? Was she never going to see Mo Yu again?

Sorrow filled Fang Liu’s heart. She didn’t tell Mo Yu that she loved him and never wanted a divorce. Fang Liu wanted to live with him for the rest of her life.

Someone caught Fang Liu just as she was about to hit the ground. Fang Liu looked at the man’s face with widened eyes. ‘M-Mo Yu?!’

Mo Yu caught Fang Liu and fell to the ground, breaking the woman’s fall. Fang Liu was in shock before hugging Mo Yu tightly. She screamed in joy and surprise, “Mo Yu, I’m so glad you’re here!”

A split second later, Fang Liu realized that she wasn’t dead. Mo Yu’s lips were ashen, and his expression was unsightly. However, he tried his best to smile. “I-I’m here, baby…”

Fang Liu was about to smile when she felt a warmth in her hand. She raised her palm and saw red. Blood dripped from her hand, forming a soul-stirring contrast against Mo Yu’s ashen face.

Fang Liu was dumbfounded as she hugged Mo Yu tightly. “W-What’s wrong, Mo Yu? Don’t scare me, please!”

‘Did Mo Yu jump in front of the lunatic’s shot just now? H-How could he be so stupid?!’

Fang Liu cried her eyes out. She held onto Mo Yu as tight as she could when the medics pried Mo Yu from her arms. Xiao Chen pried open Fang Liu’s fingers and saw that her beige dress was drenched in blood.

Xiao Chen shot as fast as possible, but the lunatic fired twice and hit Mo Yu. Mo Yu had planned to sneak around the police car and approach the lunatic, so he could find an opening to save Fang Liu.

Everyone knew that Fang Liu was in imminent danger. There was no way for the police to negotiate with the lunatic.

Mo Yu told Xiao Chen to shoot the lunatic when he rushed forward to save Fang Liu. Mo Yu would then deal with the lunatic who might fight back.

Mo Yu whispered into Xiao Chen’s ear previously, “How’s your aim?”

Mo Yu had looked into Xiao Chen’s background and discovered that he had won a gold medal in a shooting competition abroad. Although Mo Yu’s marksmanship was comparable to Xiao Chen’s, he didn’t want to entrust Fang Liu’s life to another man.

Mo Yu wanted to be the one who saved Fang Liu.

Nonetheless, Xiao Chen didn’t expect Mo Yu to use his body as a shield to block the lunatic’s shots. Mo Yu risked his life to save his one true love.

‘Mo Yu sacrificed himself for her.’

Xiao Chen knew that he was inferior to Mo Yu. He wondered if he could protect another woman as Mo Yu did. Xiao Chen silently helped Fang Liu into the car, and soon after, Fang Liu started hurting.

She was about to give birth.

Fang Liu was two weeks away from her due date. The child was about to be birthed from the sheer terror that Fang Liu felt. It was Xiao Chen’s first time seeing a woman give birth. He was shocked and could only remain still as Fang Liu grabbed his arm.

Fortunately, the medics quickly arrived and carried Fang Liu into the ambulance. This time, both husband and wife were sent to the hospital.

During the birthing process, Fang Liu could only wonder if she and her child would ever see Mo Yu. All this while, Fang Liu had been afraid, ever wavering. She had also thought of leaving Mo Yu multiple times. But Mo Yu always stuck by her side.

Fang Liu only wished for Mo Yu to live. She owed Mo Yu her life, and she would use her life to repay his selfless deeds.

“Ah!” Fang Liu screamed hoarsely, and the child’s cry echoed through the air. The doctor said to Fang Liu with surprise, “I-It’s a boy!”

Fang Liu lay on the operating table, exhausted as sweat rolled down her hair and face. When she heard that the baby was healthy, she wanted to ask how Mo Yu was doing. But Fang Liu fainted from exhaustion.

When Fang Liu finally woke up, she noticed that the sun shined brightly outside the window. She heard birds chirping and was full of vitality. Fang Liu widened her eyes, and she thought she was in Heaven for a moment.

Soon after, Fang Liu realized that she was alive and that Mo Yu had saved her. She supported herself and tried to get up when Chu Hao hurriedly came forward to help.

Xiao Chen came into the ward with a bowl of chicken soup. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Fang Liu had finally woken up.

Fang Liu had given birth prematurely due to shock and fainted shortly after. Six days had passed since she entered the hospital.

Seeing that Fang Liu was about to speak, Chu Hao hurriedly said, “The baby is doing fantastic. Although his birth was premature, it was a successful operation. He’s sleeping soundly in the incubator.”

Fang Liu was utterly relieved. She wanted to speak but couldn’t make a sound. Fang Liu damaged her vocal cords when giving birth.

“Mo Yu’s life isn’t in danger,” Chu Hao said as he avoided eye contact with Fang Liu.
