She didn’t tell him about her pregnancy as she did not want to worry him. So instead, she said, “It’s nothing. I’m just not feeling well.”
“How about Grandpa call Doctor Cheng over?” Seeing her like this, Zuo Yi could not help but feel a little worried.
“It’s OK, there’s no need.”
She knew her body well.
Moreover, it was New Year’s Eve today. Doctor Cheng should be at home having New Year’s Eve dinner.
Thinking that it was New Year’s Eve, Zuo Weiyi’s heart couldn’t help but throb in pain.
She couldn’t help but look at the clock on the wall before looking out the window.
It was seven o’clock, and Nuannuan and the others were still in the hospital.
“Then hurry up and finish eating. Then go have a good sleep.”
“Okay.”
Zuo Weiyi nodded, but she did not have the appetite to eat anymore.
Seeing her reluctant look, Zuo Yi could not bear to force her to continue eating. So, he asked Ah Qiang to throw away the unfinished food.
After dinner, Zuo Weiyi was still relaxing on the couch. There was hardly any conversation—she only spoke when spoken to.
He knew that she must be thinking about Shen Lanzhi. He was afraid that bringing her up will only make her sadder. So, he changed the topic.
“Weiyi, shall Grandpa stay with you tonight?”
Hearing this, Zuo Weiyi turned her calm black eyes and pursed her lips. “No, it’s OK. There’s no need. I’ll be fine by myself.”
“But you—”
“If I really can’t do it, I’ll stay at your place.”
Before Zuo Yi could finish, she spoke again. She could tell that he was worried.
She knew that her grandfather was concerned about her, but she just wanted to be alone.
He stayed with her late into the night. Zuo Yi only left when she said that she wanted to go upstairs to rest.
He was still worried. “Weiyi, you… you better not do anything stupid.”
Zuo Weiyi looked up, a little surprised by her grandfather’s words.
Stupid?
She had not blamed herself to such an extent. Moreover, for the sake of the child in her stomach, for the sake of that one-in-a-hundred-thousand chance, she still had to work hard.
“I won’t. I still have to go see mom tomorrow.” Not tonight.
Because she knew that Nuannuan, Shi Yuting, and her grandfather wouldn’t want to see her.
But they had to rest, right? And Shi Yuting couldn’t stay in the hospital forever.
After the New Year, he would be appointed as the next president. Even if his mother’s condition was destined to be like that, he couldn’t stay in the hospital all the time. And his grandfather was old, so he couldn’t stay there for long either. As for Nuannuan.. she would probably come back occasionally.
As for her, she would probably go only when Nuannuan came back to rest.
“You still want to visit your mother-in-law, but that rascal Shi Yuting actually treated you like that.”
“Grandfather,” she interrupted him, “I actually feel better when they do that.”
Seeing her being so responsible, Zuo Yi frowned and could not help but sigh heavily.
When he thought of how cold and heartless Shi Yuting was back at the hospital, he wanted nothing more than to raise the crutch in his hand and give him a few hard whacks!
“You can go back. I’m going upstairs to rest,” she said calmly and then turned around to go up the stairs.
As he watched her leave, she looked so depressed and helpless. Zuo Yi’s heart ached but he knew could not help her much. So, he turned around and left.
After Zuo Yi left, Zuo Weiyi laid on the bed alone.
