Gong Jie and Mu Yazhe took turns to watch over her. In the dead of the night, they would coax her repeatedly before she was willing to return to bed obediently. However, she still could not bear to turn off the television.

  She was afraid that if she were to turn it off, she would never hear his voice again.

  But she also knew that ultimately, she had to let go of it, be it guilt or longing!

  The person was gone and no longer around.

  These recorded images too, were fake and did not exist.

  Gu Xingze was gone!

  However, every time she woke up and heard his voice, she would feel at ease. It was as if she was possessed by the devil.

  She continued to refuse food and drank a bit of water occasionally, sometimes she’d have some fruits even if it was just a small amount. Compared to her previous zombie-like state, everyone was deeply gratified and satisfied.

  At least, she was willing to try eating.

  However, Youyou was extremely worried about how long this mental state would last!

  Xiao Xue had also visited her once at the hospital. Gong Jie did not allow her to enter and disturb her rest, so she could only stand at the door to look from afar.

  Yun Shishi was not in a good mental state, hence very few people knew that she was hospitalized.

  Mu Yazhe did a good job of protecting her and did not allow anyone to disturb her rest.

  Xiao Xue was her best friend, so when she received the news, she insisted on coming over to take a look. However, when she stood at the door and saw Yun Shishi standing in a daze in front of the television, her heart ached so much that tears streamed down her face.

  “How did she become like this?”


  Xiao Xue was heartbroken.

  “Has she been refusing food?”


  Youyou nodded painfully. “Mommy refuses to eat and only relies on nutritional fluids to sustain herself.”


  She gritted her teeth, feeling awful.

  Gong Jie stood on the balcony, feeling extremely depressed.

  He looked back at her and sighed heavily.

  Gong Jie’s heart almost bled as he noticed how haggard she looked.

  Just then, the doctor suddenly came to the ward. Mu Yazhe stood up and walked towards him. “What’s the situation?”


  “Mr. Mu, can you bring your wife in for a detailed checkup?”


  His suggestion made Mu Yazhe suddenly realize that it was time for her prenatal checkup.

  When he returned to the ward, he held Yun Shishi’s shoulders and gently asked, “Shishi, I’ll take you for a checkup, okay?”


  “.……”


  “It’s been some time and I’m wondering how the little one is doing. The doctor says that you need to undergo regular check ups.”


  She nodded in a daze.

  The nurse pushed the wheelchair over. Mu Yazhe carried her to the wheelchair and took her to the checkup.

  Half a day later, all the tests were completed. Mu Yazhe pushed Yun Shishi to the doctor’s office, where the doctor was reading the ultrasound report.

  “Nine weeks pregnant, the fetus grows to 2.15 centimeters. The fetal head is larger than the fetal body. The various manifestations are clearer. The skull begins to calcify and the placenta begins to develop. The ultrasound shows that the fetal sac takes up almost the entire uterus cavity. The fetal contours are clearer. The placenta is apparent.”


  Following this, the doctor added, “Sigh, this is not ideal! If she continues to refuse food, it may affect fetal development.”


  Mu Yazhe’s chest tightened. “What do you mean?”


  “Pregnancy is the most critical period for the fetus to take in nutrition. If the mother lacks good nutrition, it will affect the fetus’ development. If she undergoes drastic emotional changes at this time, it may cause the fetus to have a split palate.”
