One step, two steps……

  Her feet became heavier with her every step.

  All of a sudden, she did not want to see the truth.

  Sometimes, the truth was not that important……

  Her sixth sense was telling her that, if she knew the truth, her child…… would probably not be saved……

  As she was thinking of this, she rested her hand lightly on her stomach.

  “Ge Ge, you look awful; why don’t we head back?”


  Noting the paleness of her face and the beads of perspiration on her forehead and nose, Tang Xiaoyu tugged at her arm worriedly.

  Head back……

  Right. Pei Ge, head back. Don’t bother with the truth…… Right now, your stomach is holding a life……

  That is…… your child……

  No matter what the man thinks, he does indeed want to marry you.

  Head back…… Don’t look…… Don’t go……

  Just like this, give birth to the baby. Just like this…… be blissful together……

  Just as she wavered and wanted to leave this place, a familiar, sweet voice rang about.

  “Ziming, I want to drink Zhen Ji’s old hen soup! Our child wants to drink it, too!”


  Hearing this sweet voice, the hesitation on her face froze.

  “Sir, I’ll head to Zhen Ji to buy……”


  Du Wen’s voice was quickly heard by her.

  Having met the secretary multiple times, she could easily identify his voice.

  “He actually got his assistant to take care of Qiao Jingyun……”


  She mumbled as she saw a man in a suit leaving the ward not far away.

  Instinctively, she pulled her best friend to hide in an empty ward.

  When the secretary was gone, the two came out again.

  “Ge Ge, let’s head back. If you didn’t guess correctly, then that woman is indeed pregnant with Ji Ziming’s child. Head back and stop torturing yourself like this……”


  Feeling the cold sensation coming from her hand, Tang Xiaoyu could sense the immense helplessness and pain in her heart.

  Alas, the other stubbornly pursed her lips and continued walking to the ward where the man and the woman were in.

  “Ge Ge……”


  Seeing her stubborn and helpless look, tears fell from her best friend’s eyes.

  The former was numb to this and just continued walking straight.

  Finally, she arrived outside the ward.

  Although she could not see what was going on in the room, she could hear what was being said inside from the door.

  The soundproofing of this private hospital was really not good.

  Even with the door closed, the voice could still be heard clearly.

  “Ziming, the doctor told me that our child is really obedient today. After some time, we can take a photo of it!”


  In the room, although the clear, deep voice of the man was nowhere to be heard, the woman’s voice was so sweet.

  Similarly, as a mother, she could easily sense the bliss in Qiao Jingyun’s voice.

  For a moment, she felt as if her heart were being stabbed with a sharp knife. It was so painful that she thought she would die.

  “Ziming, what do you think our child should be called? Although I’m unsure when your parents can accept me, I believe that, after giving birth to the child, they’ll definitely like our baby’s cuteness……”


  Baby, what to do…… Mom’s heart is hurting!

  Mom’s heart is really hurting……

  Baby, are you feeling the same as mom? Are you in so much pain, too……

  All of a sudden, she could feel something moving in her stomach, and the pain turned her face white.

  “Ah!”


  It was so painful that she could no longer hold it in and screamed.

  Only then did Tang Xiaoyu notice that something was wrong with her best friend.

  “Ge Ge, Ge Ge, are you alright?!”


  Seeing that her best friend’s face had turned ashen and her lips had become purplish, she was so shocked that she quickly hugged the other.

  “Are you okay? Which part of you feels uncomfortable?”


  “P-Pain…… pain…… stomach…… Baby…… M-My baby……”


  Pei Ge gripped her stomach tightly, her eyes filling with fear and anxiety as she kept mumbling.

  “Xiaoyu, my baby…… my baby……”


  “Baby?!”


  The other looked down from her hand and saw……

  Fresh blood!

  “Blood! Ge Ge, you’re bleeding! I’ll go look for the doctor!”


  As she said this, she placed her on the floor as she went to find the doctor without delay.

  “Hang in there; you’ll be alright. I’ll go find the doctor now!”


  “M-my baby…… save my baby……”


  Pei Ge could not think of anything else.

  Right now, she only felt cold and helpless as she sensed that her child was slowly leaving her.

  This feeling made her feel even more helpless and pained than knowing that the man had betrayed her.

  As long as she thought of losing her child, her heart seemed to get hollowed out. It was so painful that she wanted to die.

  “Baby……” It’s mommy’s fault; it’s mommy’s fault. Don’t leave me, alright……

  Slowly, her vision blurred as images of her deceased father and unconscious mother appeared in her head……

  Then, it was the child which was leaving her……

  As she was sinking into unconsciousness, she reached out and tried to hold onto something for support, but there was nothing there except air.

  Suddenly, under her fading vision, the silhouette of a man and a woman appeared.

  The two were leaning closely to each other as they looked down at her.

  A familiar voice rang beside her ear……

  “Pei Ge…… I’ve never truly liked you before. The person whom I’ve always liked is…… Qiao Jingyun……”
