602 That Is My Child

Gu Bailu stood there silently. She really didn’t know what else she could do.

Technically, it was really lucky to be able to save a life just at the cost of one’s eyes.

They could always think of another way later for the eyes.

Gu Bailu looked at Qian’er’s pale yet stubborn face and knew that her decision should be respected.

That was the reflection of a mother’s love.

Gu Bailu had no reason to stop her. She couldn’t stop her either, because she didn’t have another way to save her.

The old lady curled her lip. “That’s more like it. I’m already particularly gracious today. Don’t take my kindness for nothing.”

She walked over to Qian’er and placed a shriveled hand over Qian’er’s eyes. After touching them, she remarked, “These eyes aren’t bad. They could be the eyes I’ve been searching for all these years.”

Gu Bailu turned around, unable to watch.

It was downright ruthless to take out the eyes when the person was still alive.

“Please… Please do it and save my baby…” Qian’er’s voice trembled, but she was more determined than ever.

Colorful light glittered on the old lady’s hand as she was about to gouge Qian’er’s eyeballs out.

Suddenly, immense power knocked the old lady over. Even Gu Bailu was pushed to one side.

The old lady got up from the ground. “Who’s making a scene in my place?!”

“Me!” A cold voice rang out in the room, and the old lady frowned. “What do you want?”

Gu Bailu and Qian’er raised their heads at the same time to see Lu Fenying. His hair was disheveled, as if he had ridden here as fast as he could.

With his entrance, his tall and strong frame made the cottage seem smaller.

He walked over to Qian’er, poured the pot of herbs into a bowl, and helped her sit up. “Drink it.”

Qian’er looked blankly at him and then at the old lady, wondering if she could really drink it.

The old lady stood there silently, and Gu Bailu said quickly, “Qian’er, drink it now.”

Whatever the reason, now that Lu Fenying was here, they had to save the baby first.

Qian’er opened her mouth and drank the herbal soup quickly. It wasn’t bitter, but sweet and cool.

The old lady snorted. “What’s the meaning of this, Your Highness?”

Lu Fenying held Qian’er in his arms. “Don’t touch her. I can give you anything you want.”

“What I want are her eyes.” The old lady didn’t change her terms at all.

“Give up on that.” Lu Fenying turned her down without hesitation.

The old lady chuckled gloomily. “Are you going to burn the bridge after crossing the river?”

“Come look for me after you figure out what you want.” Lu Fenying took Qian’er out of the room.

The old lady said coldly, “You think the baby can be saved after she takes the medicine? You’re too naive. You dare act or high and mighty in front of me…”

Lu Fenying turned around with cold eyes. “She’s carrying my child. If anything happens to her, I’ll tear your nest down to the ground.”

The old lady was stunned. “How… How is that possible? Your child?”

Gu Bailu asked anxiously, “Granny, will the medicine not work?” She examined Qian’er hurriedly, but her pulse was already stable. This old lady couldn’t be bluffing.

“What did you do?” His eyes like knives, Lu Fenying approached the old lady coldly.

The old lady naturally knew that he was angry, and that this man shouldn’t be provoked.

“There’s a curse in the drug…”
