Ye Moxuan had found Han Muzi before Song An and Yuchi Jin did, and subsequently sent her to the hospital. When the doctor finished examining her, she came out to inform him. “She experienced too much shock, that’s why she fainted.”
He let out a breath of relief at those words—it was fine as long as she was alright. However, what the doctor said immediately after made him feel like he had his heart in his mouth again. “You’re the husband of the patient, right?
Although he wasn’t yet, he had already set his mind on marrying her, so he nodded silently.
The doctor revealed an annoyed expression suddenly. “What kind of a husband are you? How could you let your wife experience such a huge shock? Don’t you know she’s pregnant?”
He was shocked into silence. Pregnant? The news shocked him to the core.
“What’s with your expression? She is almost three months pregnant and the fetus is showing signs of miscarriage! How can you not know that as her husband?” It was very common to see husbands who barely cared for their wives in this hospital, but the doctor’s temper rose and she gave him a good scolding.
After a very long while, he came back to his senses. “I’m sorry, I’ll take care in the future.” His voice was cold and stern, and the aura around his body was different from before. The doctor narrowed her eyes, then told him to go through the hospitalization procedures. Han Muzi’s body was too weak, so she had to be hospitalized for observation for a period to prevent a miscarriage.
As he handled the hospitalization procedures, his lips were tightly pinched together. The indifferent aura around his body seemed like it was about to freeze somebody to death, so the surrounding passersby were automatically avoiding him. When he finished with the formalities, the phone rang. He glanced at the phone and saw that it was Muzi’s phone number on the screen.
Muzi’s phone was still in Song An’s hands, so this call must be coming from Song An. He pondered over it in silence for a moment, then answered the phone.
…
When Song An rushed to the hospital, she was followed closely behind by Yu Bo; they both had on anxious expressions. Soon, they spotted Ye Moxuan, leaning against a wall, from a distance. However, as they got closer, Song An realized that the aura around Ye Moxuan was different from usual.
At the moment, he stood leaning against the wall. His thin lips were tightly pinched into a line and his lower jaw was clenched tight; his lowered eyelids almost covered his eyes. Although it wasn’t clear what his gaze was like, the aura around his body indicated that he must be rather gloomy right now.
Something isn’t right. Song An slowed her steps down. The moment she heard him say the word ‘hospital’, she felt that something was amiss. Having sent Muzi to the hospital, how could they possibly continue to hide the fact that she was pregnant from him? The current Ye Moxuan had lost his memories from before, and he had only been with Han Muzi for a short period; considering that the fetus in her womb was already three-months-old, no matter how you thought about it… it would turn into a huge misunderstanding. So, does he already know? What will he do? She walked toward him with a mixture of anxiety and doubt.
Before she could open her mouth, he looked up and his gaze fell on her face. “Aunty Song, you’re here.” His voice was cool and indifferent without any emotions in particular.
What’s with this reaction? She couldn’t be certain whether he had already found out about Han Muzi’s pregnancy, nor could she tell what he was thinking about inside. However, she didn’t dare to probe further, and could only ask about Han Muzi’s condition first. “How is Muzi?”
He answered in a neutral voice, “She only received a shock; she’s not injured.”
Did she simply experience a shock? Since she’s not injured, she should be fine. Song An breathed a sigh of relief. Even Yu Bo, who came with her, felt relieved. If something had happened to Han Muzi, then the Yuchi Family would have… landed in very deep water. Moreover, she… was pregnant too. I didn’t even know about this before.
Then, a strange silence fell across the room as the three of them were deep in their thoughts.
…
Han Muzi felt as if she had slept for a very long time; it was such a long time that she wanted to wake up, but her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn’t open her eyes. People were standing next to her and examining her. They lifted her eyelids to check her eyes, then she heard the voices of several people speaking to each other. She couldn’t make out what they were saying, and her consciousness faded away again. By the time her consciousness returned, the surroundings had completely calmed down.
Han Muzi slowly opened her eyes. Everything in her vision was white, and there were soft beeping noises coming from various machines next to her ears. She turned and saw Ye Moxuan, who was sitting next to her and resting with his eyes closed. As soon as his handsome facial features entered her vision, she immediately recalled what had happened to her. Just when she thought that she was about to fall down the stairs, he had caught her. However, she then collapsed from the shock. Right now… I’m in the hospital. The hospital…
Han Muzi instantly remembered something and her hand instinctively caressed her lower abdomen. Then, she sat up abruptly. However, the sudden excessive force created a wave of dizziness as her vision blacked out for a moment, and she fell backward. Her sudden movements triggered a series of other movements.
Ye Moxuan, who was resting with his eyes closed, jerked open his eyes. He took in the situation before him and quickly reached out to help her. “You’re awake.” His voice was hoarse as if he was feeling under the weather after staying up all night, yet it still carried a seductive feel to it.
It took a while for her vision to return to normal. She grabbed onto his hand and hastily asked, “I…” She wanted to ask if the baby in her womb was fine. However, when her gaze met his deep, dark, and gloomy eyes, the words dried up in her throat; she couldn’t make a single sound as her pale lips parted slightly.
He looked at the complicated expression on her face—her hesitation despite looking like she had something to say—and the words the doctor had said to him previously rang in his ears again. She’s pregnant… He swallowed a few times, then answered, “You’re fine. The doctor said that you experienced a huge shock. You’ll be fine after a good rest.”
Experienced a shock? She subconsciously chewed on her lower lip. After holding it in for a bit, she asked, “Are there no other problems?”
He lifted his eyes at her words, capturing her with his gaze; his stare was sharp but didn’t carry any malice. Her breath got stuck in her throat and her face paled even more.
“What’s wrong?” he asked. His warm breath tickled her face. Stretching out both his hands toward her, he adjusted the pillow behind her. Then, he stared directly into her eyes. In this position, she was trapped between his arms. His gaze and his posture seemed like he was trying to cage her up. She couldn’t tell whether he had found out about her pregnancy or not, and was afraid of letting it slip.
Even so… as time went on, he would find out about her pregnancy sooner or later anyway. In the beginning, she had kept it from him in hopes of giving him a huge surprise when his memories came back. But now… if he had already found out about it, and she continued to keep it from him… Wouldn’t he be disappointed in me?
As she mulled over it, Han Muzi bit down on her lower lip. She decided to spill the beans; she might as well tell him the entire truth. In her eyes, Ye Moxuan wasn’t that kind of person. As long as she was willing to speak, he would give her a chance to explain herself. Although it was a little early… maybe it could even stimulate his memories.
“Actually, I—”
