Chapter 765 It''s His Baby
Niles was hurt that Wesley would assume that. "I wanted to tell you, but you didn''t give me a chance!"
he protested.
Wesley released his brother and took a few deep breaths to calm himself. After a while, he asked Niles,
"So, she''s pregnant?"
"Yeah."
"How long?"
"Nine months." Pretty soon, ir would give birth, and then Wesley could be by her side.
''Nine months! That means she was pregnant when she left me. It''s my kid!''
Wesley thought. A myriad of emotions flooded through him. He really hated his brother for keeping it a
secret. He cocked his fist, ready to pound Niles'' face in. His brother squeezed his eyes shut. Just as
Niles thought he was doomed, the fist whizzed past his ear and hit the tree behind him. The tree
trembled from the impact.
Wesley couldn''t wait to see ir, so hemandeered a helicopter and flew out to see her.
Helicopters aren''t known for their range, but in this case it was sufficient for the distance he had to
cover.
The helicopter settled onto the helipad at the military base. The moment he alighted, an officer came
over and saluted. "Wesley, you''re just in time. I have something—"
"Sorry, sir. I have something else to deal with. I''m heading home."
"That''s what I wanted to tell you. Remember that criminal cabal you and Carlos rooted out? Well, you
didn''t get all of them, and they found out where your family lives. You''ll want some soldiers as backup.
This might get ugly." Wesley stopped in his tracks.
This was something that worried him greatly. After mulling it over for a bit, he brought a few soldiers
and drove to where the Li family lived.
However, just as he got out of his car, his battle-honed senses told him something was wrong. He
immediately dropped to the ground, and narrowly avoided a bullet. One of the people had been lying in
wait. Judging by the fact that what he heard was the gun and not the report, the guy must have
installed a suppressor.
Wesley rolled underneath the car, not wanting the sniper to be able to draw a bead on him. A shot hit
the ground near him just as he rolled, and he was able to figure out where his attacker was.
He knew it wasn''t humanly possible to dodge a bullet. He''d seen the Matrix, and his name wasn''t Neo.
The best way to avoid a bullet is not to be in the line of fire. If the gun has already fired, it''s toote.
Bullets travel faster than the sound of a gun. By the time you hear it, you''ve already been hit.
More soldiers left the car, using it to shield them. Their guns had already been silenced—less muzzle
rise, less sound and less concussive effect would make their shots more urate. They began
scanning the area where the shots had originated.
Wesley''s n to draw these gangsters out worked. Nearly a dozen of them walked right into Wesley''s
trap, some holding guns and othersbat knives.
Wesley hid himself behind the car and began to fight back.
He gestured to his men, signaling them to fan out. That was when he noticed three thugs with daggers
advancing on his position.
But Wesley was prepared. One of them closed in, knife pointed at the soldier. Wesley turned sideways,
trapped the man''s knife arm against his chest, and then pounded him into submission. A second
gangster thought that was his chance, and Wesley proved him wrong, catching the man''s arm before
he could strike, and twisting it violently, pulling it practically out of its socket. The third guy came at him,
and Wesley tackled him while pushing his knife arm up. An elbow smash to the neck brought him
down.
Meanwhile, he had to deal with the gunmen.
They were in front of the Li family''s house. A protracted firefight meant that innocents might be hurt.
Wesley suddenly rushed out from behind the car and rushed to the forest park not far away.
At that time, there were very few people there. He tried to stay away from the trails zigzagging as he
ran, and was rewarded as a hail of bullets zinged through bushes and buried themselves in trees.
Fortunately, he hadn''t been hit.
And that was when things went south. ir had been watching, hidden. A gunman managed to take
careful aim at Wesley. She saw this, and ran to him. "Wesley! Watch out!" she yelled at the top of her
lungs.
ir was overjoyed to see Wesley. But as soon as she saw he was in danger, her heart sank. And
when she saw one of the gunmen confidently aiming in his direction, she pounced on him ignoring her
own safety.
"Get away!" Wesley roared. The moment he heard her voice, his heart was in his throat.
But it was toote.
Boom! ir stiffened, and Wesley knew she''d been hit.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
The women in front of Wesley trembled. "Aaargh..." The pain was hard to bear. She scrunched her
eyes shut.
Boom! Another bullet hit her. This time Wesley watched in horror as a chunk was taken out of her,
fountaining blood.
Wesley tightly held his wife in his arms. Shocked by this scene, he couldn''t breathe. His eyes were full
of rage. "Fuck!" he hissed through gritted teeth.
He hauled her to safety behind some trees, and all reason fled him.
Wesley was fuming mad and could barely think. He moved from tree to tree, pausing only to snap off a
badly aimed shot before retreating. But some animal instinct inside him guided his aim, as he picked
several of them off.
ir had never seen Wesley lose it like this, but the pain caught her words in her throat.
Then he went to check on his wounded wife, and lost his temper. "Don''t you know you''re pregnant?
Why did you do this? If anything happens to you, I''ll kill you myself!
Call an ambnce!" he shouted at his men, who had already brought down the rest of the bad guys.
ir opened her mouth, trying to say something. But before words came out, a mouthful of blood was
spat out.
Wesley panicked, so afraid that she might leave him. He tightly hugged her. "How could you be so
selfish? Why didn''t you think of the kid?"
"I... I... Boo...hoo..." ir cried.
Wesley tore his sleeve and pressed it on the wound, trying to prevent more blood loss. The eyes of the
man who used to be tough and cold were red and blurry with tears. "Don''t speak."
ir shook her head slowly. "If...I don''t...speak now... I may...not get...the chance... Wesley...I miss
you... Wesley... I...I''ve never regretted...meeting you...and falling in love with you...I''m so happy...to
have our baby... Mmmph..." She spat out another mouthful of blood.
She''d thought about this for several months. She decided that when she met him again, she would tell
him. But she just didn''t expect them to meet again like this. He was always saving her. This time she
saved him.
Wesley''s eyes were red with heartache. "ir, I told you to shut up!" he ordered.
ir gave him a smile. "I forgive you...for marrying Patty... I know...she seduced you... You''ve been
with her...for two years, and you...must have slept with her. I forgive you for this. Will you please forgive
me... for not saying yes...when you proposed?" It was something she felt guilty about for a long time.
"Fuck! I''ve never slept with another woman. I only have one woman, and that''s you!" Wesley shouted.
ir was ted when she heard his exnation. "Wesley...if I don''t make it...please save our baby...
I''ve never been strong...and it makes no difference if I''m gone... But our baby is different... It''s a boy...
He''ll be a good man like you...Wesley..."
She vomited another mouthful of blood, which stained their clothes red, stinging his eyes.
Wesley looked at the dying ir, and tears fell for the first time since he could remember. He constantly

wiped the blood on ir''s mouth. Tears fell down her face and mingled with the blood. He pressed
down on the makeshift bandage to stop the blood that had been pooling there. She cried out sharply.
ir was shocked to see Wesley cry for the first time. His men were surprised as well.
ir''s heart ached. This man must really love her!
She didn''t want him to cry for her. He was a hero, and heroes didn''t cry.
"Don''t cry," she said weakly.
"Shut up!" he spat. He moved the bandages, tearing off more pieces from his shirt to rece the ones
that were now sticky and red.
"One more word, and I''ll kiss you. I know you hate public disys of affection. If you talk, I''ll kiss you in
front of everyone," he threatened.
