Si Zhengting sat by the side of the bed and held her hand.
As though she had sensed that someone familiar was next to her, the knitted brows relaxed a little. After she had fallen into a more peaceful slumber, Si Zhengting walked out and called the family doctor.
The family doctor had taken care of Nainai the last time she had been hospitalized, so he was very familiar with her condition.
After Si Zhengting summarized everything that had happened, the doctor thought for a moment before replying:
“Sir, I would discourage Madam from going to Kentucky. The journey would be turbulent, and even though Madam is already past the precarious first trimester, her body is still weak. What if something happens in the middle of the journey? Furthermore, if Madam’s mother has really met with an unfortunate end, it would be a huge blow for Madam if Madam were to witness that. If she were to leave the country, it would be really dangerous for the baby.”
As Si Zhengting heard the doctor’s opinion on the matter, his grip on the phone tightened.
It would be really dangerous for the baby.
That was his and Nainai’s baby the doctor was talking about.
He had wanted to have a child with her from the early stages of their relationship. Thus, he would have sex at least once with her every night whenever it was possible to do so. And the conception of this child had allowed them to mend their deteriorating relationship.
In the past, he had wanted a child so that she would stay committed to their relationship.
But after this child had been conceived, and after he had spent every single day caring for Nainai, he had a strong feeling that he had really come to care for and love the child itself.
He had not told a single soul about how he had started to design the infant’s bed and room. He had even begun speculating about the gender of the child and how he or she would look like.
When he couldn’t fall asleep deep in the night, he would pick up a thick dictionary and start flipping through the pages, trying to pick a suitable name for the child.
That was his child!
The child that he had long awaited…
But now, he was facing great peril. He… couldn’t turn his child’s mother down.
He turned around and was able to see her figure resting on the bed in the bedroom through the crack in the door. If he could, he would do anything to stop her from leaving, for her to stay wherever she was for the benefit of their child.
But her mother was on the brink of death, and they weren’t even sure if she was dead or alive. And this situation had indeed been caused by Madam Ding, so who was he to stop Nainai from leaving?
Si Zhengting gripped his phone tightly. He could hear the doctor calling on the other end, “Mr. Si? Mr. Si?”
It was only then that Si Zhengting snapped back to his senses. He murmured an assent.
The doctor was about to say something when Si Zhengting suddenly said, “Pack up and come over immediately. You’re leaving with us.”
Without giving him the chance to reply, Si Zhengting hung up.
Then, he entered his study room and started to follow up with the air route matter. There were too many planes in Beijing; thus, for air traffic control to grant him access to an air route urgently, they had to reschedule some flights.
Si Zhengting knew that this was a matter with many intricate details, so he kept his eyes trained on any progress on the matter. He was tracking the progress of the matter when he received a call from Long Qingtian.
His eyes narrowed and he took the call. Long Qingtian’s domineering voice was a little wild as he said, “My apologies, I wasn’t able to get the matter settled. The armed forces suddenly received news regarding an urgent mission and had to fly over in a helicopter. The air route was thus ceded over to them. This is a matter of national security, and national security takes precedence over everything else.”
