My Evil Cinderella: Taming A Villainous Wife - Chapter 278

A month passed and Shi Enxi finally took her maternity leave from work. Little Snow began attending the same school as Little Jade. Despite things going well for both families, Shi Enxi was being bothered by her dream.

At first, she decided to ignore it. She thought that it was just going to be a one-time dream but that wasn’t the case. Ever since she had that nightmare, she would end up having the same nightmare twice a week.

Choose… That was what the dream was all about and it started to bother her a lot. What if something bad would end up happening if she made her choice? She didn’t want to lose her baby or Fan Xiao Yao. Both were important people for her. She couldn’t choose. It was impossible for her to do so. She kept her dream hidden from her husband since she thought that he had enough problems to deal with.

She remembered how her dream would end every time. She would always stand in between her baby and Fan Xiao Yao. She would always end up saying that she wouldn’t choose until one day, she finally came with an answer on how to solve it.

Shi Enxi waited to have the dream again to give her answer to whoever was asking but to her surprise, she never had that dream again. Was it only a test for her?

She stared at the beautiful scene in front of her; the sky was painted with orange as the sun was slowly setting under the calm sea. It was such a sight to behold and Shi Enxi could never get used to seeing it.

This was the place where she died in the past but now, it was a place where she found peace. She turned and began walking back towards the house that Lu Mello built for her.

She was currently alone since her husband was at work and her son was at Little Jade’s place, doing their homework together. Despite being alone, she knew that her husband’s men must be around, guarding the place for her.

She entered the house and went to the living room. The warmth of the house reached to her heart. She never thought that she would end up being satisfied in this small house, that she would prefer this house instead of the mansion she was living in with her husband and child. She wanted to have her place decorated with bright, extravagant things and yet here she was, satisfied at how simple and ordinary this house was.

Everything was perfect the way it is right now. She couldn’t ask for more. She was satisfied with how her life this time. She couldn’t ask for more, it would be too much for someone like her; a person who didn’t deserve happiness like this.

“I’m home.” Lu Mello’s voice was heard from downstairs.

Shi Enxi’s face brightened up upon hearing the voice of her husband. She stood up and went out of the bedroom. She headed downstairs and saw him enter the living room.

“Darling~” She greeted him with a sweet smile on her lips. “You’re early today!”

“I can’t leave my wife alone here. I didn’t want to make her feel lonely,” he walked towards her. As he stood in front of her, he gently placed his hand on her waist but the moment he did, Shi Enxi suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.

“A-argh…”

Lu Mello was surprised upon hearing her painful groan. “E-Enxi? Are you alright?”

Shi Enxi instantly panicked when she felt something wet dripping down her legs. She looked down to check what it was and her eyes widened upon seeing blood.

Lu Mello followed her gaze and just like her he was surprised and was caught off-guard, “W-what the…”

“No… No! NOOO!!!” This can’t be happening… It wasn’t her daughter she chose. She can’t be losing her daughter…

Her husband instantly carried her in his arms as he rushed out of the house, heading straight to his car.

The pain in her abdomen continued, making her groan even louder. But despite the pain, there was only one thing in her mind, “I-I don’t want to lose her… I can’t lose our baby… I-I can’t…” She cried heavily. This wasn’t supposed to happen. She didn’t want her daughter to die.

“It’s going to be alright, Enxi. We will not lose our daughter! I will never let that happen!” Lu Mello was riding the car at its full speed as he drove it to a nearby hospital. “Hold on… please hold on…” He mumbled as he tightened his grip around the steering wheel.

By the time they arrived at the hospital, Shi Enxi was taken directly to the emergency room while Lu Mello waited outside. He was endlessly walking back and forth, the fear inside him growing. The only thing that made him stop pacing endlessly was when his phone rang.

When he looked at the caller ID, it was a call that came from Fan Xiao Yao.

“Hello?” He answered.

“Dada!” Little Snow’s crying voice was heard in the other line which alarmed his father.

“Mama Yaoyao is not waking!!!”

…

On the other hand, the last thing Shi Enxi remembered was seeing a bright light above her and hearing the faint voices coming from the doctors before she finally fainted. She felt like only a second has passed when she opened her eyes again and found herself inside a bright room.

It wasn’t the hospital’s white room she was expecting but instead, it was a room she saw multiple times in her dream.

No… this can’t be…

She turned and her eyes widened upon seeing the same scene she saw in her dream: Her daughter and Fan Xiao Yao.

“Have you made your choice?” A voice beside her was heard.

She turned her head to look at the owner of the voice and saw an old man with a sad smile on his lips. “I’m sorry, dear. You have to choose.”
