Chapter 691 Save the Child
"William, I'm sorry," Ava said sadly. "I was just anxious. I care so much about the baby inside me that I didn't think before I spoke. I didn't mean to hurt you."
William, with tears in his eyes, turned to Ava and said, "Ava, I understand how much you care for this baby. I won't ask for a place in your heart above this child. But please, consider my feelings. Don't doubt my sincerity. For you, I'm willing to do anything, even give up my life. Please don't misunderstand me. I'm just too worried about you because you're the only one in my heart. I admit this is Alexander's child, and it does make me a bit uncomfortable, but I love you so much that I will treat your child well. I won't hurt him at all. I will educate him and raise him properly, and I will never let him suffer!"
Every word he said was true. He could love her child as his own.
But his pain was also real. Ava's cold words had hurt him deeply, making him feel utterly miserable.
Ava couldn't help but cry, consumed by guilt. "William, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I misunderstood you. I won't do it again. Please don't be sad."
William cried tears of joy. He held Ava's hand and gently pressed it to his face. "Knowing you feel this way, I'm relieved. Whatever you ask, I'll do."
"William, this baby is very important to me. It's my life. If the baby dies, I might not want to live anymore. No matter what, we have to keep this baby."
"Ava, I..."
"William," Ava tightened her grip on William's hand. "Promise me, if I become unconscious, you must ask the doctors to do everything they can to save my baby, even if it costs my life. As long as I'm on life support, make sure the baby is born safely."
"Ava, don't say that. Both you and the baby will be fine."
Ava gripped his hand even tighter, her eyes wide open. "Remember, if I wake up and find out my baby is dead, I will die too. I won't live."
She believed William truly cared about her, but this matter concerned the life of her child. William was her legal husband and could make medical decisions if she was unconscious, so she couldn't risk anything.
Even if William had a tiny bit of jealousy, he might only consider her and disregard the child.
So she had to be harsh, to make him understand that if her baby died, she would choose to kill herself too.
In this way, if something happened to her and she was unable to make medical decisions, William would do everything to save her baby.
If she died, her baby could be raised by the Mitchell family.
She had already let Alexander down by leaving him, so she absolutely couldn't abandon his child. Even if it cost her life, she had to save the baby, no matter what.
"Ava, do you know how much it hurts me to hear you say that? Are you forcing me to give up your life?"
"No, I'm begging you. If necessary, prioritize saving my baby. Even if the doctors tell you I'm in danger and terminating the pregnancy is the best option, you can't sign. You must make them do everything to save the baby."
"But what if the baby really can't be saved? If insisting on saving the child would mean your death, and the child still couldn't be saved, what then?"
