Chapter 451: frightened bird
Chapter 451 The frightened bird
Her emotions were very complicated. On the one hand, she felt that Ms. Ye was just bringing it upon herself. Who told her to be unfaithful to her husband? You deserve all this suffering. On the other hand, seeing Miss Ye kneeling in front of her husband with blood and tears and pleading, it aroused Zhou's mother's compassion as a woman. It is not easy for a woman to get pregnant, no matter what is in her belly. No matter whose seed a child is, mothers cherish it very much.
She went into the kitchen and poured a glass of warm water for Xia Ling.
Xia Ling took it and held it in her hand.
It was already the end of summer, but the weather was still very hot. The air conditioner was on indoors, and Xia Ling's fingertips were as cold as room temperature. After returning here and calming down, Xia Ling felt scared. This miscarriage was so critical. As long as there was a slight mistake, the child would not be saved.
Her hands were shaking slightly, so much that she could no longer hold the water glass.
She sadly discovered that, in fact, she was the same in this life as in her previous life. She was still unable to resist under Pei Ziheng's tyrannical pressure. Even if he knelt down without dignity and begged, whether he would let her go or not would depend on him. Mood. In front of him, she could protect nothing.
"Ms. Ye, please drink some hot water." Seeing her dazed with the water cup, Zhou's mother couldn't help but said, "You just came all the way from the hospital to replenish your fluids. I'll make you lunch right now. What to eat?"
She looked up as if she was startled, looked at Zhou's mother, and shook her head.
"Don't know? Then I will stew a black fish for you to replenish your body." Zhou Ma said.
"I won't eat," Xia Ling said, her voice a little hoarse, "I'm going upstairs to sleep for a while, don't call me." After saying that, she walked upstairs, leaving only her back to Zhou's mother.
Zhou's mother looked at her, but hesitated to speak. In the end, she just sighed.
Xia Ling doesn’t want to see Zhou’s mother. As soon as she saw that face, she would remember how the servant who had served her for two lifetimes smiled with concern and diligently persuaded her to eat food laced with abortion pills.
That’s an abortion pill!
Xia Ling was lying on the luxurious and soft bed, gently stroking her belly with one hand, and tears were about to flow out again. "Baby, I'm sorry..." She murmured that it was because she was so useless as a mother that she almost killed it.
She fell asleep in a daze and had nightmares.
I dreamed that there was something wrong with the food I ate. As soon as I ate it, I felt severe pain in my stomach, a lot of donated blood came out, and the child was aborted.
She woke up screaming from her dream, with tears on her face.
A few seconds later, the bedroom door was pushed open, and it was Pei Ziheng who broke in.
Pei Ziheng learned that she was discharged from the hospital in the morning, and he had clearly decided not to pick her up, but for some reason, he was restless during the whole morning meeting, and all he could think about was her. As soon as the meeting ended, he hurried back without even eating lunch. We haven’t seen each other for nearly a month, and I don’t know if she has gained weight or lost weight?
Stepping into the house, he was asking Zhou's mother about her situation. Before he could say a few words, he heard a scream from the bedroom upstairs. Pei Ziheng took three steps in succession and rushed forward.
I thought something had happened to Xiao Ling, so I opened the door and took a look and breathed a sigh of relief - Xiao Ling was fine in bed. She was probably frightened because of a nightmare.
But, in the next moment, he saw her face clearly.
Too haggard, like a withered rose that has lost its vitality.
What has she suffered in the past month? Why are you so embarrassed? How did Chu Chen and those servants take care of her, and how could they let her end up like this? !
Pei Ziheng was both distressed and angry, but he looked at her silently, his expression as usual.
When Xia Ling saw it was him, she shrank toward the bedside with some vigilance.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and then Pei Ziheng closed the bedroom door and walked out. Xia Ling smiled to herself inwardly. It seemed that when she was having a bad life, suffering and having nightmares, Pei Ziheng would no longer comfort her as gently as before. After all, the child in her belly was not his, and the ability to tolerate the existence of the child was probably his limit.
How can he be expected to treat their mother and son well?
Xia Ling still doesn’t know the gender of her unborn child. She forgot to ask the doctor when she was hospitalized last time. Although she had hoped to be a girl, she dreamed that she was holding a little boy with Li Lei. Could it be that the baby in her belly was actually a boy?
She lowered her head and guessed for a while, then fell asleep again.
I slept for a long time and woke up only after dinner. I was woken up by hunger.
She remembered that she hadn't even eaten lunch, so she went downstairs and went to the restaurant.
In the restaurant, Pei Ziheng was already dining. Under the dim yellow and soft lights, the grilled foie gras and fried beef bones on the wooden table gave off an attractive aroma. They were both Pei Ziheng's favorite dishes.
Seeing Xia Ling coming down, Pei Ziheng only glanced at her lightly, then lowered his head and continued to eat by himself. Xia Ling paused in her steps, feeling in a dilemma.
Zhou's mother greeted her: "Miss Ye, come and eat quickly."
She diligently opened the seat for Xia Ling and placed the tableware she liked. "There is sea cucumber soup in the kitchen. It will be stewed soon. Please wait a moment and I will serve it to you."
Sea cucumber soup is also Pei Ziheng’s favorite food.
It seems that there are no dishes prepared for her today.
She guessed that Pei Ziheng wished that the child in her belly could be aborted as soon as possible. Although he had promised not to force her to have an abortion, if the diet could not keep up and the child aborted naturally, no one would be blamed.
Xia Ling felt sad when she thought about it.
The nightmare from her nap came back again, and she thought of the abortion pill and the boundless sea of blood.
Zhou's mother brought the sea cucumber soup and said with a smile: "Miss Ye, drink it while it's hot. Sea cucumbers are nutritious and good for children."
The scene in front of me coincides with the scene at that time. Could this steaming bowl of sea cucumber soup also contain abortion pills? Although she knew it was impossible, Pei Ziheng had promised her not to touch the child, but she couldn't pass the threshold in her heart.
She looked pale and couldn't help but push away the dishes.
“Miss Ye, what’s wrong with you?” Zhou’s mother was surprised.
“I won’t eat it,” Xia Ling said.
Pei Ziheng raised his head slightly and glanced at her, then continued to eat by himself without speaking. As long as she doesn't die, it's none of his business whether the child in her belly dies or not, whether he likes it or not.
Zhou's mother was worried when she saw that Pei Ziheng didn't persuade her. Even if Miss Ye made a mistake, she couldn't abuse her body like this while she still had one in her belly. So, only Zhou's mother had the courage to persuade: "Miss, you should eat something. I'm sorry for what happened last time, but you can't torture yourself like this. If you don't think about yourself, you also have to think about what's in your belly..."
Pei Ziheng's knife and fork collided with the porcelain plate, making a crisp sound.
It was only then that Zhou Ma realized that her words to persuade Miss Ye might have violated her husband's taboo, so she quickly shut up and lowered her head.
