CHAPTER 539: CHAPTER 539: MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY NOWADAYS HAS GREATLY ADVANCED

So, what exactly happened in these years?

Lu’s mother, who knew her own daughter so well, would have told the family if she truly wanted to say anything. It must not have been necessary to hide it until now.

It must have been a forced hand, a situation of total despair, right?

So, asking her son-in-law would definitely be more direct.

Facing the intense stare from his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Jiang Ye felt quite uneasy.

It was clear that it could no longer be hidden.

Moreover, the Jiang Family had known about this matter long ago, and it was only a matter of time before it reached the Lu Family.

There was no need for deep contemplation:

"Uncle, auntie, it’s all my fault. You can hit me or scold me!"

He admitted his mistake directly.

?

Old Lu and his wife exchanged glances, both looking pretty upset.

Afterward, Mr. Lu spoke up:

"Shouldn’t you first tell us what exactly happened? We’ll figure out the rest on our own."

Who was right and who was wrong would be clear once the sequence of events was known.

The bloody wound was torn open again. Jiang Ye’s throat tightened, and his fists silently clenched.

At this moment, Lu Jing began to speak:

"We once had a child, but unfortunately, we lost the child!"

Hiss!

Both elders gasped in disbelief, faces filled with incredulity.

Lu’s mother’s voice trembled:

"When did this happen?" she stuttered.

Why wouldn’t she, the mother, know about such a crucial matter?

Beyond shock was profound sorrow and sympathy for her daughter.

Lu Jing exhaled:

"It was a long time ago, there was an accident."

An accident?

Could the old couple believe it?

Such a matter was not trivial and couldn’t be brushed aside easily.

On the contrary, the elderly couple now had even more questions they wanted to ask.

Lu Jing did not want to delve deeply into everything that had happened back then and stood up from the sofa:

"I’m going to take a shower upstairs. You can ask him if you want to know anything."

After all, both were aware of the truth.

Mr. Lu and Lu’s mother wanted to say something, but seeing their daughter visibly distressed, they would certainly not stop or pressure her further.

After all, a parent’s heart aches for their own child.

Seeing their daughter had already gone upstairs, the old couple signaled Jiang Ye repeatedly:

"Go follow her!"

At this time, they absolutely couldn’t leave someone to be alone.

Jiang Ye, already worried about his wife, hastened after her as soon as his mother-in-law and father-in-law spoke.

Once the two of them had gone upstairs, the elderly couple in the living room sighed, then looked at each other again.

"Old Lu, what about this..."

Mr. Lu waved his hand:

"Let’s not bring this up again from now on."

Lu’s mother understood:

"I know, I definitely won’t mention it in front of my daughter, but as a mother, I still need to understand what’s happening with her physical condition. Is it serious? Does she need treatment?

If worst comes to worst and it’s really serious, we could still resort to medical technology!"

Medical science today isn’t what it was decades ago; having a child isn’t that difficult, right?

Mr. Lu sighed deeply:

"Let them decide themselves. Don’t interfere. Didn’t you see our daughter doesn’t want to talk about it? Xiao Ye also seems very upset. Both of them must have..."

The child they lost was their own flesh and blood.

No matter how many years have passed, it’s something they could never forget.

Forget about forgetting; it’s a lifelong torment both mentally and physically.

Lu’s mother fell silent, and Mr. Lu did not speak again.
