Chapter 1954: I’ve Never Seen Someone Abuse a Child Like That Before

What should one pursue in life?

Even if one were to ask this question, no one would probably know the answer to it.

Shen Manting had asked herself this question many times.

What’s the point of living?

Even though she thought about it for a very long time, she still couldn’t come up with an answer.

But she didn’t have the courage to die.

She was like a gambler at the end of her rope. She’d gambled everything that she had and ultimately lost everything.

Initially, she’d planned to give birth to the child and use it as a bargaining chip to coerce and threaten Shen Luo’an. But she never firmly decided on what she would threaten him to do.

But the longer she was pregnant, the less she thought about this.

As her belly grew bigger and bigger, her yearning for the child deepened.

When she saw Shen Luo’an again, she had come to the sudden realization that she may have done something wrong.

Actually, from the start she never should’ve kept the baby.

She’d thought that she could remain cold-hearted until the end. This baby was her bargaining chip and a means to an end!

Little did she expect to become attached to the baby and for it to become her shackles in the end.

January 28. Rainy day with thunder.

Baby, Mummy made a mistake.

Nobody will take care of you, and nobody will take care of Mummy.

Mummy’s money is almost completely gone. The nurse said she’s under no obligation to take care of you.

Mummy’s useless. I can’t produce milk, so you must be hungry. I’m sorry.

The weather’s increasingly worse. I can’t hang in there anymore.

Shen Manting lay in bed, and her face was deathly pale. As she stared at the tube that was continuously injecting fluid into her body, she suddenly chuckled.

The baby was sleeping soundly and peacefully in the crook of her arm.

However, the pain in her lower body made her feel a sense of desperation.

“Shen Manting, it’s time for your meal,” the nurse yelled out.

It might have been her voice that was too loud, or the thunder, which rang out the same time she spoke, that shocked the baby, because it suddenly twitched in Shen Manting’s arms and opened its mouth to bawl.

Shen Manting was slightly limp, and she slowly and lightly patted the baby’s back.

Enduring the pain, she sat up and pulled up her top to breastfeed the baby.

However, the baby merely suckled limply a few times, and when it realized there was nothing to eat, it began to cry loudly again.

The nurse roughly and impatiently set the food table down before placing the meal on top of it and moving on to call out to the next person.

“Zhang Chunhua!” she shouted.

“Hey, hey, I’ll get this.” An honest-looking man from the same ward took the food tray from the nurse and smiled. “Thanks, Ms. Nurse. You’re so pretty and kind-hearted. Thank you!”

The nurse’s mood visibly improved, and she silently passed him an extra egg.

The man smiled even more happily and said, “Thank you. Thank you.”

He took the food and turned to look at his wife. “This nurse is such a nice person,” he said. “Here, eat this egg so you can make milk for our baby. Nutrition is crucial for a newborn.”

His voice was gentle and honest, but wasn’t pleasant on the ears.

However, at such a moment, it was enough to warm the heart of the woman who had just tried her best to deliver a child for him.

Shen Manting’s eyes burned, and she gritted her teeth as she sat up to protect the baby, who was crying continuously in her arms.

She broke the eggshell and pried it away bit by bit, then began to eat it slowly.

After one child cried, the other children in the ward inevitably cried as well.

Another child also quickly began to cry.

There was an ill-tempered lady who’d just had her third child.

When she saw her own child cry, she angrily glared at Shen Manting and shouted, “Don’t you know how to manage your child? It’s crying so badly, and yet you don’t even feed it some milk? I’ve never seen someone abuse a child like that before!”
