Chapter 410 Autumn Got Pregnant
Even though Charles knew that Autumn didn''t do that on purpose, he could not help but feel a pinch of
disappointment with her.
"Never mind, it was just a simple meal." Le said with a rather assuring smile, "Please do help
yourself."
Le wasn''t hungry but she kept persuading and urging Charles to eat more.
"Mr. Lu, can you... please tell me what happened?" Le encouraged him to open up, "Maybe you will
feel better once you speak it out. And you can trust that whatever you tell me will remain between us."
"I am fine." Charles let out a bitter smile as he simply could not even think of troubling anyone else with
his burden.
"Then... you can just tell me whenever you decide to talk about it with others." Le drew the line there
and stopped nudging him to open up as she knew how Charles didn''t like the women who were too
enthusiastic around him. She cleaned up the table carefully after dinner and said to Charles, "I need to
leave now, Mr. Lu."
"Hold on." Charles put on his jacket as he offered, "I''ll drop you back home. It''s the least I can do."
Charles wanted to express his gratitude for Le in a way that he could.
Le nodded her head in approval. This had presented itself as a perfect opportunity to draw closer to
him and she had absolutely no reason to refuse it.
On their way to Le''s home, she didn''t say anything because Charles wasn''t in a good mood. When
his car pulled over outside her home, Le said, "Would you join me upstairs for a cup of tea?"
"No, thank you. I have troubled you enough for one night." Charles didn''t want to go home but that did
not mean he would brazenly head to another woman''s house and betray Autumn.
He finally decided to go home. Once he reached, the living room was pitch dark and he saw Autumn
perched on the sofa with a sad expression as switched on the light. Autumn stared back at him and
asked, "Where did you go? Why have youe home sote?"
"I was upied with quite a lot of work in the office." Then he added, "It is quitete. Why didn''t you
just go to sleep?"
"You are lying!" Autumn yelled at Charles with hatred and disgust, "I called you on your personal
extention number in the office. You were not there! So I ask you again where did you go?"
"I told you I was working in thepany. What is it that you want to hear?" Charles got impatient. Her
interrogation and usations did not annoy him, but... instead he was confused as to why Autumn
refused to go to hospital and get treatment.
Charles felt like he was about to go insane after such a long time. So, when he returned and had to
face Autumn''s vexatious inquiry, he almost lost his temper.
"I just want to know where you went. If you didn''t do anything wrong, then why are you hesitating to tell
me the truth?" Autumn walked up towards Charles and said, "Just tell me if you have a mistress
outside the bounds of this house."
"No! No! No!" Charles felt so weak from her attacks. He looked into her eyes and said, "Everyday you
ask me these same questions. When will this maddness stop? You are sick and you need to receive
treatment in hospital. I can''t bear to handle you any more."
"I''m not sick!" Autumn shed an angry stare at Charles, almost as though the man standing in front of
her was not her husband but an enemy.
"What are you arguing about?" Their angry and loud exchanges woke Chris up. She came out of her
bedroom and persuaded Autumn, "Autumn, you are the only woman my brother loves. I can assure
you that until myst breath. He will never have any mistress. He could not bear to disappoint you.
Please trust him."
"You are lying!" Autumn didn''t believe what Chris was saying either. She sneered as she responded,
"You two sibblings have united to cheat me. You don''t understand me at all and just don''t want me to
know the truth."
Autumn had the same maddening dream everyday. It had convinced her and gripped her stronger than
reality itself.
In her dream, Charles dated different women almost every day without even looking in her direction.
She couldn''t differentiate between the dream and reality so she questioned Charles again and again.
Chris was just about to speak to Autumn when Autumn pushed her aside and shouted, "Leave me
alone. Don''t touch me!"
"You don''t think you are enough for me, Autumn Zhao?" Charles frowned and said, "I promised you
time and again that I would never betray your trust because I only love you. So now what can I do to
make you believe me?"
But really what else could he do now?
To be honest, Autumn didn''t know the answer either. All she knew was that her doubts and concerns
were clouding her mind.
It seemed that she was split into two persons. One was asking her to trust Charles and calm down
while the other rather irrational side yelled at her not to trust him because he was a liar.
She painfully hugged her head with hands and squatted. She wanted to tell Charles that she was not
doing all this on purpose but before she could utter anything she fainted and copsed onto the floor.
"Autumn! Autumn..." Charles immidiately rushed to her aid and supported her head under his palms as
he kept calling her name. But she didn''t respond. Charles then immidiately rushed her to the hospital.

After a rather quick examination, the doctor told Charles with concern, "She is healthy in body but..."
"But what?" Charles looked at the doctor nervously and said in a rather anxious tone, "You can just tell
me about her real condition."
"We have found a lot of medicine in her system which has led her to develop a mental disorder. This
medicine could have caused severe damage to her mind. We can''t ascertain the extent of this damage
without conducting some more tests. But this is the reason why she always has nightmares and could
not distinguish between dreams and reality. Moreover, another side effect is her bad temper and also
violent behavior." Then the doctor asked Charles, "How long... have these symptoms been appearing?"
"From the beginning of this new year right up till now." Charles considered for a moment as he recalled
the recent past and answered the doctor honestly.
"No, actually this has been happening since the end of thest year." Sam said abruptly, "Doctor, I felt
that she was weird before the new year. Her memory got foggy then but it wasn''t so severe as it is now,
so I didn''t think much about it."
Charles frowned and looked at Sam. He believed Sam was right but...
He wondered why he didn''t notice these ring abnormal symptoms of Autumn especially when even
Sam had found them.
In that moment, he felt he neglected her and was an unqualified husband.
"It seems that she has been taking this medicine for a long time only that could exin how the effect is
so adverse." Charles got restless as he heard the bad news from the doctor. He asked, "Can it be
cured?"
"Yes, it can, but..." The doctor looked at Charles with reluctance and disappointment.
"But what?" Charles'' heart was now beating outside his body out of nervousness. He urged the doctor
to tell him so the doctor had to speak out honestly, "Mrs. Lu is pregnant. If we use medicines to treat
her disease, it could be fatal to the baby in her womb. So I think... you can have a discussion with her
once she wakes up and make a decision together."
"There is no need to discuss this with her especially when she is mentally unstable. Just get rid of the
kid!" Charles said affirmatively. They could always try for another baby in the future. But if Autumn died
because of this baby, Charles would never forgive himself.
"No!" Charles heard Autumn''s voice just as he made the decision for them. She looked rather weak
after knowing what happened from Chris. Shemanded Chris to take her there and find out the truth
about her disease. Unexpectedly, she heard Charles'' talk with the doctor.
She knew what Charles did was for her sake, but she was the mother of the baby. It was in her womb
and she couldn''t be so cruel as to end a life.
With that in mind, she said to the doctor in a tough tone, "Doctor, I want to keep this baby so please try
your best to help me while I carry this life within me..."
