Can the child be saved?
I was too confused to understand what she was saying.
Yvonne takes a deep breath, calms herself, looks at me, hesitates to tell me.
"All right," Yvonne said with a mocking smile, as I pursed my lips. "Now, enjoy your happy life. "Goodbye."
She walked past me.
"Aren't you going to go back to the Garden to get something?" I turned and looked at her empty hands.
She stopped.
"Take what?" She half turned to me and asked, with a mocking smile, "Is there anything worth taking?" "The only thing he ever gave me, I've already brought it with me."
After saying that, she put her hand on her stomach, lowered her head and left without another word.
Her back was so lonely and sad that even though I couldn't see her face, I knew she was crying.
My heart hurts.
Due to being pregnant, I started to get a little addicted to sleep these few days. After returning to Garden, I directly returned to my room. After lying down on the bed for a while, I fell asleep, and by the time I woke up, it was already dinner time.
I vaguely heard some noise downstairs, but I ignored it. I turned on IPAD and went online to read the news. The press conference had already ended. Looking at the video, Lou Shaotang's attitude was completely sincere. Facing the reporters' crafty questions, he remained calm and responded cleverly. The moment I saw him apologize and bow to the public, I burst into tears. My heart ached.
He wiped away his tears and picked up his phone to call you, but there was a message from him —
Wife, eat obediently ~ Don't wait for me at night, go to bed early.
His tone was pampered, and he added a kiss emoji behind it.
It was sent half an hour ago. He knew I was supposed to be resting at this point, so he didn't call me.
This was another Lou Shaotang who was different from the calm and serious Lou Shaotang who was at the press conference earlier. A Lou Shaotang who only showed a caring and gentle side towards me.
I raised my lip, and sweet honey flowed from my heart.
When I heard someone knock on the door, I put down my cell phone and went to open the door.
When the door opened, it was Liu Sao who was holding a tray. The noise from downstairs reached her ears at the same time, but she couldn't make out what it was. It sounded like she was crying.
"Eldest Young Lady." Liu Sao smiled benevolently as she called out to me.
"What happened? What happened next?" I asked her, glancing at the tray, on which were several dishes and a bowl of rice.
Liu Sao helplessly sighed, and told me that it was Xia Peiyun who found out about Qiao Chenfei and Yvonne's divorce and was forcing Qiao Chenfei to remarry. But Qiao Chenfei was determined not to agree. The old man was so angry that he fainted, and his family's doctor was giving him fluids in his room. Afraid that they would disturb me, Shen Yiru instructed her to send food to my room so that I could eat there.
"It's true that you said Second Young Master." Liu Sao placed the dishes on the tea table one by one. "Although he doesn't get along with Second Young Madam, now that the child already has one, how can he just leave? "This is too …" She clicked her tongue and stopped herself from speaking. Her expression and tone were full of doubt and blame for Qiao Chenfei's actions, and she felt that he was quite heartless.
I didn't think that Qiao Chenfei would tell his family so quickly. It can be seen that he had had enough, adding on to that I'm very clear on how much pain he had felt over the years.
I don't know if it was because he acknowledged me, or because it was inconvenient to comment on Master's matter, Liu Sao nodded and sighed, "It's just that I pity that child ~ I don't know if Second Young Madam will beat him up, if they beat him down, it would be truly a sin."
"She won't." "No," I said firmly.
When I asked Yvonne this question, she didn't answer it directly, but she obviously loved the child, so I was sure she would be born.
"That's good." Liu Sao's face lightened up a lot and she sighed with a smile, "Aiya, you and Eldest Young Master are the best. Previously, Eldest Young Master called me and asked me what you want to eat tonight. He said that if you have no appetite and don't like these dishes, he would make you something else. He even ordered me to make you a stew of Blood Swallows and eat them before you went to bed. "
"First Young Master is really worried. Actually, these First Lady have already taken care of him, there's no need for him to say anything." With a change in tone, he said happily, "However, I can see how much Eldest Young Master loves you, Eldest Young Lady. You're really too scared of shattering it, you're too scared of melting when you hold it in your hands."
I also smiled. Her words weren't exaggerated at all, but my smile wasn't as relaxed as hers, because I felt as if my heart was pressed down by a huge boulder.
"Eldest Young Lady, eat up!" Seeing that I didn't use my chopsticks, Liu Sao urged me to use a piece of steamed stone to make the fish, "The First Lady specifically ordered me to make this fish, saying that she ate it everyday when she was pregnant with the young master. That's why she made the young master smart and handsome."
"Here, have some more." Before I could eat, she gave me a few more pieces, then said with some pride, "I told you about it earlier. Once this woman has a child, her status will rise up quickly. Look at First Lady, I didn't like you in the past, but now I treat you like a buddha and offer you up like a buddha. If you can give birth to a young master, she won't dare to do anything to you anymore. "
When I heard this, the taste of the fish in my mouth instantly disappeared, and it even seemed like it was starting to taste bitter.
She didn't realize that I had gradually stopped chewing and continued to mutter, "However, it doesn't matter if I give birth to a girl, since there's already Young Master Heng here, First Lady wouldn't care whether it's a man or a woman, and she might even want a girl. In any case, as long as it's a child of Eldest Young Master, First Lady will treat it as a treasure."
After hearing that last sentence, I couldn't eat anymore.
Seeing that I didn't even move my chopsticks and even placed the bowl down, Liu Sao seemed to realize something and hurriedly slapped his lips, "Aiyo, look at my stinky mouth! Eldest Young Lady, I did not do it on purpose, you better not take it to heart! "
She thought I minded her saying Heng Heng.
"No, I was just thinking about something else." I shook my head, forced a smile, and picked up the bowl again.
Liu Sao's anxious and guilty face loosened up, and she quickly changed the topic.
My thoughts were no longer on what she had to say as all I could think of was how I should confess this to Lou Shaotang. This matter cannot be delayed any longer. I must tell him about it tomorrow.
After barely eating 2 mouthfuls, she said that she was full. Liu Sao said that I had too little to eat and advised me to eat more, but I really had no appetite.
Just as she left, Shen Yiru came in. Normally she would be straight with me, but today she was smiling, and I could see that she was in a good mood.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, but I know that because of Qiao Chenfei's divorce with Yvonne and the fact that Qiao Chenfei was demoted from his position, there was no one in this family who could threaten Lou Shaotang's position anymore.
I am not as happy as she is. On the contrary, I feel more sympathy and pain towards Qiao Chenfei, and more self-blame. Because I was the source of all his pain.
At first, Shen Yiru expressed her dissatisfaction that I had not eaten much, then she asked me where I had been in the morning with a bad tone. I told her the truth, and she angrily rebuked me for not running around. Understanding her nervousness, I didn't refute a word. Then she said she had an appointment with the doctor and would take me to have a checkup tomorrow.
I jumped in fear. "There's no need for that. I already did it yesterday."
I resisted going to the hospital, especially being with Shen Yiru. I was even more flustered, as I felt that I could be exposed by her at any time. Before he told Lou Shaotang about this child, he had yet to confirm who this child was, so he definitely could not let her know.
"What are you doing!" Shen Yiru glared at him and said sternly, "I'm inviting the obstetric authority. I want to give you a set of the most detailed examinations, not the kind you can just take a photo of. "Don't not know what's good for you! Sing against me!"
After getting scolded by her again, I felt very unhappy in my heart, but I managed to hold back my laughter and said to her in a gentle tone, "Mom, it's not that I'm disagreeing with her, but Shao Tang has already requested for international authority. He will be here in the next few days and he will conduct a detailed examination for me when the time comes. This kind of examination cannot be done more than is good for the baby. "
Hearing that, Shen Yiru's face immediately calmed down, and frowned: Then it's not a conflict, if you don't want to do an examination, go and investigate, in short, I am worried about your situation.
She had already made up her mind to take me to the hospital. If she were to reject me again, based on her suspicious personality, she might be able to sniff out some clues. Thus, I nodded my head in agreement.
Around 11 PM, Lou Shaotang returned. I turned on the bedside lamp and sat up.
Just as Lou Shaotang was about to close the door quietly, he saw that the lights were on. He turned around and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?" He quickly pulled back his fatigue and walked over to me with a smile.
He smelled of alcohol and smoke, and I asked anxiously, "Why are you drinking so much?"
He stopped, took off his suit, and threw it on the sofa. He smelled himself again, frowned, and smiled helplessly, "There's no helping it, these people are all here to help Tianyue this time. They insisted that I drink it, so I had to accompany them." Then he said, "I'm going to take a bath first."
As soon as he sat down, he leaned against the back of the sofa and breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had put down a heavy burden.
"Now the dust has settled." His smile was incredibly relaxed as he held my hand and placed it on his other hand. He looked at me gently. "Next, my center of gravity will be on you and looking forward to." Looking at my stomach that was still flat, I smiled happily. "I have no time to accompany you all this time. From tomorrow on, I will start to be a filial father."
My heart felt heavy and I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't.
"Drink your tea and go to bed early."
Seeing my face stiffen, Lou Shaotang stared at me worriedly, "What's wrong? Not in a good mood? "
"No, I'm just a little tired."
"I'm not drinking anymore. It's nothing much. I just need to sleep for a bit."
He didn't care about himself at all. He got up, carried me to the bed, tucked me in, then lay down beside me, kissed me on the cheek as usual, and hugged me.
As I listened to his even breathing, the warmth of his chest under my pillow, and recalled the happy smile on his face when he said he was filial to his father, I felt a stab in my heart and tears welled up in my eyes.
"Wife, don't cry."
Lou Shaotang's gentle voice suddenly sounded in my ears. I was startled, and raised my head to look at him.
So she was just talking in her sleep.
In his dreams he coaxed me.
I covered my mouth and cried even more fiercely. I prayed a million times in my heart, this child must belong to Lou Shaotang. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the face or the courage to face him again.
The next day, after eating breakfast, Shen Yiru took me to the hospital. Seeing the doctor's name tag, I remembered that this person was the authority behind the fake pregnancy certificate that Zhong Ruoqing had previously given him.
Earlier, Lou Shaotang had already told me the truth of the matter. Because he wanted the shares and real estate that the old man promised, Shen Yiru and Zhong Ruoqing conspired together to get pregnant, but Lou Shaotang strongly opposed it, so Shen Yiru put forth a stratagem and tearfully complained about how much suffering and grievances she had endured over the years. Because Lou Shaotang pitied her, he reluctantly agreed.
After that, I did not expect that I would see through it, but Shen Yiru was biting the bullet because I framed him. Seeing that she was about to be whipped by the old man, Lou Shaotang was about to speak the truth, but she was slapped on the face by Shen Yiru, begging him with her eyes. After a painful mental struggle, he finally chose silence.
For this, Lou Shaotang felt extremely guilty towards me. Every time he made love to me, he would kiss every inch of my back.
Although that matter had caused me to thoroughly hate Lou Shaotang, after so long, Lou Shaotang's deep love for me had long ago turned that hatred into nothingness.
In addition, I now know that the dream that I had everyday during my stay in the hospital wasn't really a dream. It was Lou Shaotang who had secretly applied medicine on me, which was why my injuries healed so quickly and without leaving any scars. He has his difficulties, I understand.
"How is it? Can the child be saved?"
Shen Yiru's words pulled me back from my thoughts.
The doctor lifted his gaze from the chart, his face slightly grave.
My heart clenched as I stared at her.
