The foetus was extremely delicate in the first trimester. She had been agitated, and had even fainted and fallen on the ground.
Mei Feng smirked.
But quickly following this, the doctor said, “It should be fine. As for specifics, we will still need to observe her.”
Mei Feng frowned at once.
Fine?
She herself had miscarried so easily in the past. Why was this girl’s baby so sturdy?
Mei Feng tightened her fists angrily.
–
Shen Xiu soon turned up—he had rushed from his office to the hospital. Upon seeing Mei Feng, he asked at once, “What happened? Why did she faint out of the blue? She is carrying Zihao’s son! Although I don’t like this daughter-in-law, I do still want my grandchild!”
That vicious glint flashed across her eyes again when she heard this.
Grandchild.
So the baby mattered to Shen Xiu after all.
But he had made her go through so many abortions in the past.
She cast her gaze down and smiled. “She’s fine. The doctor said it was just agitation.”
Shen Xiu sighed with relief. Then he asked, “Why was she agitated?”
She raised an eyebrow and replied, “About that… I have no idea.”
She turned to glance at the ward.
–
In the ward, Xia Nuannuan was gradually regaining consciousness.
She stared at the spotless ceiling and slowly recalled the things that had happened just before she passed out.
Immediately, she looked around for her cell phone to call her parents.
Just as she did so, the ward door swung open. Shen Xiu and Mei Feng walked in.
Xia Nuannuan enquired anxiously, “Did my parents call?”
Mei Feng shook her head and said, “Not yet.”
Xia Nuannuan continued, “Aunty Mei, Dad, where’s my cell phone? I have to call them to see if they’re safe.”
The words angered Shen Xiu and he berated the girl immediately, “Will you stop this at once?! Don’t you know you’re carrying the child of the Shen family? If you get agitated again and have a miscarriage, you can leave the Shen family!”
Xia Nuannuan bit her lip as she listened to his unreasonable words. “Dad, I just want to make a call to my parents and know that they are safe.”
Shen Xiu snorted icily and spat, “Those two old good-for-nothings, what’s there to worry about? There are typhoons every year, it’s nothing serious! You focus on carrying the baby, that’s your priority.”
Old good-for-nothings.
Xia Nuannuan felt her heart writhe in pain as a wave of fury rose within her.
She wanted to retort, but when she opened her mouth, she felt her head was starting to spin again.
Recalling Shen Xiu’s threat regarding the baby, she held back her words and took a deep breath. As much as she could manage, she tried to regulate her breathing.
There was no news from her parents and she was anxious. But she had to watch her health for the sake of the unborn child.
But ultimately, her heart sank and she felt discouraged.
Her parent’s situation was unknown and, not only did Shen Xiu and Mei Feng not help her find out, but they had said unkind words.
She curled her fingers tightly.
Shen Xiu turned to glance at Mei Feng after saying all of this and told the woman, “You stay to look after her and, if everything’s fine, get her discharged. I’ll leave first.”
Mei Feng nodded.
After Shen Xiu left the ward, Xia Nuannuan frowned.
Mei Feng sighed and said, “I hear that the typhoon is especially aggressive. I wonder how your parents are.”
Xia Nuannuan did not say a word, but her expression showed she was lost in her thoughts.
Mei Feng then turned on the TV in the VIP ward and selected the news channel.
The news was covering the typhoon situation in Hainan.
The collapsed buildings along the streets, the uprooted trees.
