Mother Lu walked into the room with the baby. She was very happy when she saw William.

  During that time when William had been treating Lu Beichuan, Mother Lu had placed all of her hopes on him. And when Lu Beichuan had woken up, before Mother Lu had a chance to thank William, he had already left the country.

  “Dr. William, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you. I didn’t get a chance to thank you for treating Beichuan before you left. This time, you can’t leave before giving aunty a chance to properly express my gratitude.”


  “Aunty, you don’t have to take it so seriously. As a doctor, it’s my duty to treat and save people.”


  Mother Lu looked at William, who was the same age as her soon. Her eyes were filled with motherly affection.

  “This is Beichuan’s child, right?”


  “Yes, his name is Zhifei and his nickname is Zhouzhou. Do you want to hold him?”


  William gingerly took Zhouzhou from Mother Lu. The little guy was sleeping soundly and from time to time, he would smack his lips. This soft and cute image actually evoked the idea of marrying and having a child of his own in the playboy doctor.

  Find a beautiful and kind-hearted woman to marry, have a cute child together, and live out an untroubled and happy life.

  While the fantasy of this seemed pretty good, it would be too dreadful in reality.

  After William left, Lu Beichuan asked Ye Zhen, “Do you have any friends? They can come here to visit you.”


  Lu Beichuan thought that Ye Zhen would be bored staying at the hospital by herself. If she had friends, she could invite them over to chat with to pass the time.

  Ye Zhen carefully thought. It wasn’t in the novel’s Ye Zhen’s personality to approach others and make friends. From middle school to high school and even to college, she had always been alone. The people that she could call friends were only acquaintances that would exchange polite greetings when they happened to see each other. She didn’t have a single close friend.

  “No.”


  It wasn’t a big deal that the original owner didn’t have any friends. Even if the original owner had close friends, they wouldn’t be her friends. It would be pointless for her to continue being friends with them.

  However, when Lu Beichuan heard that answer, he had increased sympathy for her.

  He had investigated Ye Zhen’s history and knew about her feelings of inferiority and what she had experienced.

  She didn’t have friends or loved ones. For beginning to end, she had been living life alone.

  “It’s okay.” Ye Zhen grinned. “I can make friends later.”


  Lu Beichuan loved her optimism and honesty. “Yeah, you can make friends later.”


  ***

  After over a week of observation in that hospital and the doctor had done multiple checkups to determine there weren’t any major issues, Lu Beichuan went to pick up Ye Zhen to bring her home to finish her recuperation.

  Ye Zhen was still in her one-month recuperation period and couldn’t be exposed to cold winds, so Lu Beichuan tightly wrapped her up in layers before they went to the hospital’s underground parking garage.

  Mother Lu held the baby as a group of servants packed up Ye Zhen’s belongings. The parade of people left the hospital and returned to the Lu’s villa.

  Everything had already been prepared at the Lu’s villa. Old Master Lu had transferred over all of the female servants that had experience in prenatal and postnatal care from the family’s ancestral home. The nursery was next to the master bedroom, and it was filled with children’s toys. Of course, although this room was to be used as a nursery, it would be easy to change this to a young master’s room once Zhouzhou grew up.

  Ye Zhen had once euphemistically indicated that she wanted to place a crib by their bed. This way, the baby could sleep with them, and she could take care of the baby.

  However, Lu Beichuan had rejected this plan.

  He had learned that a newborn baby would need to be fed multiple times during the night, and a baby’s schedule wasn’t consistent. If they kept the baby in their room, his cries would wake Ye Zhen up in the middle of the night, and she wouldn’t be able to sleep through the night.
