Chapter 2917: Maternal Instinct (4)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Yazhe’s heart almost broke when he saw that tiny blob.
Yun Shishi was all the more disconcerted.
Back then, when she was pregnant with her first child, she was very anxious. Because she was worried about her family and her father, she was distracted and anxious all day long. Hence, her emotions during that pregnancy were very unstable.
Although she did well in terms of nutritional supplements, her emotions had somewhat affected the development of the fetus.
As a result, she gave birth prematurely, eight months into the pregnancy. Youyou almost didn’t survive during birth.
Although he was rescued from the clutches of death, his overall health was still a far cry from that of a normal child’s.
He was weak and sickly, and had a sensitive personality. She felt that this was her fault and she owed it to him.
But this child now… it came so suddenly. She was caught off guard and completely unprepared!
…
Mu Yazhe carried her back to the ward. By now, Xiao Xue had left, and Gong Jie immediately rushed over to ask, “How’s the situation?”
“…”
Mu Yazhe did not say a word. He quietly carried Yun Shishi to the bed and pulled the blanket over her. Then, he sat silently by the side.
Gong Jie furrowed his brow. He looked at the man, then at Yun Shishi, who was lying on the bed, and clenched his fists tightly.
Just at this point, Yun Shishi suddenly sat up in bed.
The sound of the rustling sheets startled them.
Mu Yazhe and Gong Jie turned to look at her in shock.
They saw that she was now sitting up and leaning gently against the back of the bed. Compared to her dull expression before, her eyes had finally regained some focus.
She glanced at them indifferently. Her gaze was dull and there was a hint of embarrassment on her face. Then, she said in a deep voice, “I want to eat.”
“…”
Mu Yazhe was taken aback by her request.
Gong Jie, on the other hand, reacted immediately. He stood up at once, and his eyes lit up. He walked over to her and asked, “What do you feel like eating?!”
“Congee or rice, I don’t mind… just a good balance of meat and vegetables and nothing too oily.”
Because of her physiological reaction to the pregnancy, she found it impossible to eat anything too oily.
Her body had grown used to not having any food after such a long fast, so she was especially resistant to eating.
She didn’t seem to register hunger anymore.
It was not as though she was deliberately torturing herself. Besides, she had no desire to eat.
However, on the way back from the doctor’s office, what flashed across her mind was the image of the developing fetuses on the ultrasound scan, when she was pregnant with Youyou and Little Yichen some years ago.
She saw them on the film. They were so tiny and curled up into a ball, that she could not even see their features clearly.
This was her child…
Her child with him.
Right now, the child in her womb should be that tiny.
He rarely cried, but when he heard the doctor talking about all the bad possibilities, he immediately lost his composure.
He held her shoulders and painfully pleaded with her to come to her senses and stop torturing herself. Finally, she was moved.
She wanted to protect this child!
Hence, even though she had no desire to eat, she took the initiative to ask for food.
His gloomy eyes finally lit up.
Gong Jie immediately rushed out of the ward with the cold porridge. When he got to the pantry, there was a queue for the microwave.
Of course he didn’t have the patience to wait. He rushed to the front and intercepted the queue without any explanation.
After the porridge was heated, he brought it back to the ward and placed it before Yun Shishi.
At this point, she was stroking her belly and staring blankly at the wall in a daze. It was hard to know what she was thinking.
