Chapter 428 The Baby
“Mommy…mommy…”
A vague voice echoes in the air. Xia Ning lifts to look around. The gra.s.s looks like a green carpet. The wind is warm. It is sunny.
Where is she?
Xia Ning hears some people laughing. She turns to the direction and sees a family of three playing on the gra.s.s.
The man is tall and strong. The woman is sweet, lying in her husband’s embrace, while the kid is active and lovely. The kid holds a bunch of flowers and runs around his parents, crying “Daddy” and “Mommy”.
Xia Ning feels warm, admiring the happy family.
The man seems to be aware that someone is looking at him. He lifts to look at Xia Ning. When Xia Ning sees his face, she is shocked blankly!
It is Yi Yunrui!
“Darling, what’s wrong?”
The woman in his embrace gently asks. She follows Yi Yunrui’s eyes to look at Xia Ning.
Xia Ning feels confused, wondering who the woman is.
The three look at each other. The kid is aware of the uneasiness. He goes to draw the clothes of the woman, “Mommy, what’s wrong?”
The woman smiles, “Nothing. Look, there is a beautiful sister there. You may say h.e.l.lo to her.”
Then, the woman holds the baby, “Come on, say hi…”
“Beautiful sister, hi!”
The kid says brightly. He is so cute that Xia Ning has the desire to give him a kiss.
What a happy family…
But!
No!
It is impossible!
Xia Ning cries in her heart. The man is Yi Yunrui. He is her husband!
She is his wife. She is the only one who can call him darling!
“Rui, what’s wrong?” As if her heart is cut, she feels painful. Xia Ning rushes to them.
However, the family of three disappears in front of her and then reappears some distance away.
“Sweetheart, let’s go home. What do you want to have for supper…”
Yi Yunrui holds the woman’s hand and gently murmurs. The family gradually goes away…
“No. Don’t go! Rui, don’t leave me!”
As if her heart is taken away, Xia Ning uses all her strength to cry loudly.
It is not true! It is not true!
“Darling, don’t go!”
Xia Ning anxiously cries. She suddenly opens her eyes!
It is a snow-white room with a white bed and white bed quilt. Everything is white.
Where is she?
Xia Ning slightly frowns. Her clothes are changed. It seems that she is in the hospital.
Suddenly, she feels fiercely painful. She can’t help crying in pain.
“You are awake.”
A man’s voice is heard. It sounds gentle like a breeze blows on the water.
Xia Ning feels her heart tightened. She looks at him alertly.
It is An Zihao.
Why is he here?
Soon, Xia Ning remembers what Gu Luan did. She feels nervous at once!
“Supervisor An, where am I? Where is Gu Luan?”
“You are in the hospital.” An Zihao says gently, “I suggest that you may lie down. Don’t make fast movements. Or, your wounds may break again.”
Being reminded by An Zihao, Xia Ning remembers that she is injured and lies on the bed.
An Zihao looks at her for a while. He softens his voice, “Xia Ning, you are a bold woman!”
Xia Ning feels confused. She doesn’t understand what An Zihao means.
“Look at your wounds.”
Xia Ning hesitates. She carefully removes her sleeve and sees several st.i.tches on her hand. She smells alcohol. But there is no other treatment done to the wound.
She finds that she is even not having any intravenous infusion.
“Do you feel surprised?” An Zihao’s voice sounds colder, “You are really a foolish woman!”
Xia Ning purses her lips, “Supervisor An, before you scold me, would you please tell me the reasons?”
An Zihao stares at her for quite a while. Then, he says, “Xia Ning, you have been pregnant for two weeks.”
Xia Ning widens her eyes!
Pregnant … for two weeks?
Pregnant!
Subconsciously, she strokes her belly. She asks in disbelief, “I am pregnant? G.o.d…G.o.d!”
In an instant, as if she wins a lottery of billions, Xia Ning feels a great joy in her heart!
She is having a baby!
She is having a baby of Yi Yunrui!
No wonder she often feels hungry and she feels like vomiting recently!
Her eyes are blurred with tears of joy. She covers her mouth with her hand. She is so excited that she sobs.
But soon, she suddenly turns pale!
“Oh. Supervisor An, I am pregnant. I can’t take any medicine. G.o.d. I can’t take medicine!” Xia Ning holds An Zihao’s hand, “Supervisor An, please tell the doctor that I can’t take any medicine. I am pregnant. I can’t take any medicine!”
“Don’t worry.” An Zihao pats her hand, “Didn’t you know that you were pregnant?”
Xia Ning shakes her head, “I didn’t know. I really didn’t know. Oh…G.o.d. How could I…”
If she had known that she was pregnant, she wouldn’t have hurt herself in this way.
Tears flow out of her eyes. Xia Ning cries, “Baby, I am sorry. Supervisor An, my baby… did I lose my baby?”
Aware of the desperate pain on Xia Ning’s face, An Zihao’s softens his heart. He gently pats on her back, “Don’t worry. You still have your baby with you.”
“Ah?” Xia Ning hesitates, “Are you sure? Wait. I have wounds in my hand and my shoulder. There must be some medicine used…”
“Don’t you feel painful?”
“Yes.” It is very painful.
“The Doctor didn’t give you any medicine. He only disinfected the wounds with some alcohol. You have to withstand the pain and wait for it to recover slowly.” Saying this, An Zihao pa.s.ses a cup of warm water to Xia Ning, “Drink some water. You are injured but can’t take any medicine. You have to be very careful during the time. Or, it will be troublesome if you become infected and get a fever.”
Xia Ning’s hand trembles. The dream she had just now pops up in her brain. Did the baby talk to her?
“Mommy…”
Xia Ning strokes her belly. She grits her teeth. No matter how painful it may be, she will withstand it.
This is a kid of her and Yi Yunrui!
She takes a deep breath and says to her belly word by word, “Baby, it is mom’s fault. I was careless. Baby, don’t worry. I will take good care of myself and you. So, during the time, both of us have to be strong. Mom will recover very soon!”
An Zihao quietly stands there. The woman in front of him looks weak. But she is also invincibly strong.
“Supervisor An, why are you here?”
An Zihao sits down. He slowly responds, “I was going through and happened to see you faint in the lane and Gu Luan held you into his car. I felt confused. So, I followed him. But I couldn’t go into the villa. Later, I saw you were held to come out by Gu Luan with blood on your body.”
When he saw Gu Luan hold her while she was covered in blood, An Zihao was totally shocked!
He didn’t know what exactly happened, but he could almost guess it. Xia Ning struggled with her life.
Xia Ning clenches her fists. She still feels frightened. She asks, “Where is Gu Luan?”
An Zihao darkens his eyes, “I talked with him about some things. He is not here now.”
“Where is he?”
“To you, he is dangerous. It is unsuitable for him to come here.” He worries that Xia Ning will be irritated when she sees Gu Luan. That will be bad for her health. He says, “You were drugged. Luckily, the dosage was small. And you have got pregnant for a short time. The drug won’t have any notable effect on the fetus of two weeks. So, you don’t need to worry. The doctor said that it will be fine as long as you have regular antenatal inspections.”
Undeniably, An Zihao is still suspicious of Xia Ning’s purpose of getting in contact with Mengyao.
However, he admires Xia Ning for her strong will.
Hearing An Zihao’s words, Xia Ning feels a little relaxed. However, she is still worried.
It won’t bring a notable effect, but there is still some influence, isn’t there?”
An Zihao is aware that Xia Ning is still nervous. He says, “You may have a good rest here. I will deal with Gu Luan. You are pregnant now. You may ask your family to come here to look after you.”
Family?
Xia Ning feels sad. Her parents and her grandmother both pa.s.sed away. In C City, except for Baoer, all her friends are busy working. Who has the time to look after her?
An Zihao notices the uneasiness on Xia Ning’s face. He asks, “What’s wrong? You don’t have any family at home?”
Xia Ning smiles, “Supervisor An, thank you. I am pregnant now. So, I will be stronger. Don’t worry. I will take good care of myself.”
An Zihao is silent for a while. He gives a sigh, “You may think carefully about it. If no one can come, you may hire a carer from the hospital. I will approve some days leave for you. As to the current condition, you may talk with President Zhou yourself.”
Xia Ning nods. She strokes her belly. She may not tell other people about what’s happening for now. She doesn’t want others to worry about her.
“Supervisor An, please don’t tell other people. Will you?”
An Zihao nods, “You make the decision. I am busy. I may leave for now. Well. You may call me Zihao next time. Don’t call me Supervisor An again.”
Then, An Zihao stands up to leave the ward.
Xia Ning is left alone in the white room.
However, she is very excited!
She is having a baby. She is going to be a mother!
Thinking about this, she feels so excited that she wants to jump!
But she has to be careful. She hasn’t recovered from the injuries.
Xia Ning glimpses the phone on the bed. She takes it up. She wants to tell Yi Yunrui about her pregnancy.
But in the middle of typing the text, she hesitates.
Rui said that it got a little tense there. If she texts him now, will he be distracted?
Xia Ning thinks for quite a while. Then, she grits her teeth and puts down the phone.
Anyway, Rui said that he would come back in a few days. It won’t be late for her to tell him about it at that time.
It is outside the ward.
“Are you going to sue me?” Gu Luan puts out the cigarette in his hand. He looks deadly grey on his face.
He remembers what the doctor said. Xia Ning is pregnant.
He almost killed her just now.
Thinking that she has to withstand the pain during the time, Gu Luan feels his heart twisted into a mess!
If he had known that, he wouldn’t have done so to her!
An Zihao smiles coldly, “Director Gu, you are really an irrational lover. It is up to Xia Ning whether she wants to sue you. It has nothing to do with me. However, you may keep one thing in your mind.”
An Zihao goes closer to Gu Luan. He says word by word, “Xia Ning is President Zhou’s a.s.sistant now. If you dare to touch President Zhou’s people again, I won’t give you a break!”
