  “Mr. Egger, while the older boy’s body is functioning well and everything is fine with him, the younger girl might not make it because of being born prematurely. Her heart didn’t develop fully, and she’s showing signs of…… having a congenital heart defect.”


  Pei Ge, whose mood had just gotten better, felt her surroundings darken before she fainted.

  “Ge Ge!”


  Egger only noticed the woman’s arrival when he heard Tang Xiaoyu’s scream.

  Seeing her fall to the ground, unconscious, anxiety flashed past the man’s eyes and he hurriedly went to her.

  “Pei Ge!”


  Reaching the prone woman’s side, he took her from her best friend’s arms.

  “Why did you bring her here?! Haven’t I told you earlier that she needed rest the most?”


  Once he had Pei Ge in his arms, he noted her ashen face and his heart hurt.

  Tang Xiaoyu scolded this man yesterday, and now, their situation had reversed as he was the one scolding her today.

  “I-I didn’t know that we’d meet you here!”


  She really felt like dying when she saw her best friend falling unconscious.

  As the two were starting to worry, the woman regained consciousness.

  “How are you feeling?”


  “Are you all right?”


  The two quickly asked her at the same time.

  Alas, she did not answer their questions as her mind was only on her children.

  “Did I hear the doctor say earlier that my daughter—she has a heart defect?” She struggled to ask this.

  It was unexpected that her newborn daughter had a heart defect when their family had no history of such.

  “Pei Ge……”


  The man pursed his lips and he could not bear to see her asking about this matter just as she opened her eyes.

  He, too, did not expect that another child of hers would be so weak. Barely after she was born, she was diagnosed with a heart ailment……

  “Don’t lie to me; I heard everything……”


  The woman bit her lower lip harshly, unable to help herself from shuddering.

  “It’s alright. Heart defect isn’t a big issue. With our medical technology today, this isn’t completely without a solution,” quickly comforted her best friend upon seeing her in pain.

  “That’s right. Rest assured that I’ll find the best doctor to treat the child. When the time is right, we can arrange a surgery for her. There won’t even be a problem.”


  Egger quickly consoled her. Although he was not very sure, the doctor did mention that there was a chance of recovering from this sort of heart ailment.

  With these two comforting her, she calmed down again.

  She tried hard to control her emotions as she pushed away the man who was supporting her and stood up.

  “Let’s go; I wish to see my daughter……”


  “Sure.”


  He nodded before leading her into the nursery.

  Inside the nursery, Pei Ge looked through the glass at her two children sleeping quietly in their incubators and could not help sniffing.

  Other children were so healthy and active when they were born, yet hers had to stay in incubators as premature infants.

  She could not even carry them for a while.

  All she could do was stare at them through the glass.

  “Don’t worry; they’ll be fine. I’ll find the best doctor for your daughter……”


  The man spoke gently upon seeing the sorrow on her face.

  Hearing this, she turned to regard him gratefully.

  “Thank you. I really don’t know how I’m supposed to thank you……”


  If it were not for this man, would she and her children exist now?

  “You don’t have to be polite with me.”


  The gentleness on this man’s face inadvertently made the woman think of her children’s father.

  For a moment, she felt as if she were in an alternate world.

  She hated that man now as much as she had loved him before.

  If it had not been for him, her three children would not have been born prematurely with one not even having a chance to look at this world.

  As for the other one, she had a congenital heart defect……

  Suddenly, a rift appeared between her and this man, which seemed impossible to overcome.

  That was because there would forever be that child who was killed by the two of them……

  “You haven’t given the babies names yet! Have you thought of what to call them?”


  Seeing how tortured she looked, Tang Xiaoyu tried diverting her attention.

  In the end, just as she finished speaking, the woman replied without thinking. “Let’s call that lost child Ping An……”


  Following her words, the two kept their silence for a brief moment.

  “I hope that they can lead happy lives, which are free from any illnesses,” she mumbled after taking a deep breath. ” Ping An is…… that lost child’s name. As for these two, they shall be called An An and Ran Ran……”


  The other woman’s nose tingled at her sorrow-filled words.

  “Give them English names since they’ll be growing up here……” The former forced back the tears in her eyes.

  “Then, let’s call them Ferly and Dorothy……”


  “Miracle, God’s gift…… These are really apt names……”
