Xia Ling lifted her head and thanked the head nurse again. “It’s really delicious.”

Thus, the professional smile on her face faded away, and she let out a warm and sincere smile. “I think so too. When I just got married to my husband, he didn’t know how to do anything. These years, as I had to work late at night, he learned everything. And now, the family’s meals are made by him.”

Perhaps the night shift was lonely. She stayed beside Xia Ling and took care of her while chatting about her family life. “My husband doesn’t make much money, and he can’t even pay the house mortgage by himself. However, he treats me very well and doesn’t mind doing the dirty work. During these many years of marriage, he never let me suffer any sort of grievance.”

As the head nurse spoke, she smiled. “I’m also content.”

Xia Ling envied her very much as she was able to spend every day together with her beloved ones. What else did a couple want more than a peaceful life together? She recalled that the man she loved was far away, and there was a slight pain in her heart.

The head nurse asked her, “Why did you come to the hospital alone without Mr. Pei? Is he not at home? I usually see him on the news, and he seems to be busy traveling around.” She thought that Xia Ling and Pei Ziheng had a strong relationship. In reality, almost everyone in the outside world thought this way. Otherwise, why would Pei Ziheng go through so much hardship to marry a wife without any status? This situation was the first of its kind in the Pei Family.

Xia Ling did not want to explain. She finished her meal and said that she was tired.

The nurse was afraid of disturbing her, so she kept the lunch box and left. When she turned off the lights for her in the ward, she looked at the way Xia Ling’s frail figure curled up in the darkness and was a little worried. Being together with someone rich was not as ideal as she imagined. Mr. Pei was so busy. It was probably hard on Miss Ye as she was usually alone.

Unconsciously, she started to sympathize with Xia Ling.

Xia Ling stayed in the hospital for a night.

The next day, Senior Zhang came to work and did a detailed check on her. “There are no large problems. However, you can’t run around recklessly anymore.” He said the same thing as the night shift doctor yesterday.

Only then did Xia Ling sigh in relief.

Senior Zhang gave her some medicine to protect her fetus. After seeing that she was unhappy, he asked, “Did you fight with Mr. Pei?” As he knew the secret about the child’s identity, he did not think that her relationship with Pei Ziheng was so good like others thought.

Xia Ling smiled bitterly. In front of his amiable doctor, she revealed a little more. “I’m afraid that he will put medicine in my food, so I don’t dare to eat it.”

A while ago, she was hospitalized in Compassionate Peace Hospital. However, Senior Zhang flipped through her medical record earlier today and found out what she had suffered from some time ago. Thus, he comforted her. “Luckily, the child is fine. Stay here a few more stays and eat in the hospital to feel more reassured.”

Xia Ling continued to stay in the hospital.

Huaxin Mother and Child Specialist Hospital was one of the best hospitals in the city. Competition for bed space was strong, and as she was admitted to the hospital suddenly, the intensive care unit was full. There was no space, so she had to stay in the general ward.

The double room was very clean. The patient who occupied the bed beside hers was discharged yesterday, so it was empty at this time.

Xia Ling lived calmly and quietly in the hospital. She ate a meal for patients for lunch. It tasted bland, but it was a well-balanced meal with nutrients and would be sufficient to take care of her child well.

Unfortunately, this simple happiness did not last long. In the evening, a pregnant woman was admitted to her neighboring bed to also prevent a miscarriage.

The pregnant woman was an ordinary person. When she saw Xia Ling, she became very excited. She kept chatting with her non-stop and bombarded her with endless questions. Xia Ling only then deeply realized about the troubles of being a celebrity. She could no longer continue to stay in this ward.

Xia Ling asked Senior Zhang, “Is there any space in the intensive care unit?”

Senior Zhang was also troubled. “No. You have to wait for at least a week.”

While they were talking, someone gently knocked on the door of the doctor’s office. Xia Ling turned around and saw her chauffeur. She asked, “Why are you here?”

“Miss Ye,” The chauffeur said. “Mister wants me to send you home.”

Yesterday, she ran out without informing him, causing Pei Ziheng to become angry. He initially did not want to care about her, but after calming down, he really could not neglect her like that. He was worried about her being alone outside. After hearing that she was staying in an ordinary ward, he became more concerned and sent a chauffeur to pick her up.

Originally, Xia Ling did not want to go home. However, since the wards were all occupied, she had no choice but to follow the chauffeur back.

Senior Zhang shook his head. They were really an unrightful couple.

When she saw the dishes that Nanny Zhou made at home, Xia Ling did not dare to eat them. She went to the kitchen to wash some vegetables. Then, she broke an egg and cooked those ingredients using boiled water. Her cooking skills were taught by Li Lei, and she did not learn them well. Luckily, although she was clumsy, she did not overturn the entire pot like last time.

As she cooked the vegetables, she thought of Li Lei in her heart. Mist covered her eyes, and she wanted to cry.

Her bowl of noodles was half-cooked, but she still ate it.

Nanny Zhou looked at her in distress but was unable to help much. She watched as Xia Ling the entire bowl of half-cooked noodles. After that, she ran to look for Pei Ziheng. “Mister, are you really not going to care about Miss Ye? How will her body be able to survive at this rate?”

After Xia Ling was brought back home, Pei Ziheng became nonchalant towards her again. At that time, his tone was curt. “Let her do what she wants. She won’t die.” This man was really cruel when it was time to be cruel and had no sympathy for someone else’s child.

Xia Ling’s stomach was uncomfortable for the entire night. The next day, she went to the hospital again. These days, she made repeated trips to the hospital frequently. It really took a toll on her health as she lost a lot of weight.

Senior Zhang looked at her and said, “You aren’t sick. You will be fine after eating a proper meal.”

Sympathetically, he sent her away.

Xia Ling was feeling down as she returned to the car.

The chauffeur said, “Miss Ye, how about I help you buy something to eat?”

She shook her head and rejected him. She did not trust anyone near Pei Ziheng.

The chauffeur’s phone rang. He answered it for a while before putting it down. He then said to Xia Ling, “Miss Ye, Mr. Feng Kun is looking for you regarding something. He wants you to visit Imperial Entertainment for a while. Do you want to go?”

Feng Kun?

Why would he be looking for her at this time?

Xia Ling was a little doubtful. Recently, due to her pregnancy, she had stopped recording songs and was on a complete break. However, doubts were doubts. She knew that Feng Kun would not look for her for no reason, so she agreed to go to Imperial Entertainment.

When she arrived at Imperial Entertainment, everyone around turned to look at her.

She was already five months pregnant. Although her stomach was not very big, she still showed the signs. She wore a pair of flats and carefully walked near the wall. In the crowded building, everyone looked like glamorous royalty. Only she looked like an unexpected alien.

All types of eyes fell on her body. Some were envious, some were jealous, and some were flattering.
