Recently, Jerry Xiao always doesn’t sleep well. Last night, he woke up again from a nightmare. In the dream, Zoey was crying continuously, and there was the baby in her belly, waving at him continuously, as if saying goodbye.
Such a dream was a torture for him. Yet he dared not disclose half a word to her, just for fear of upsetting her.
Today, traveling again. The case is too important, he has to be the one to show up. Ah Feng is already waiting outside the door, Zoey is going to help him carry his luggage, when Mrs. Zhan sees it, she hurriedly stops her action, “Oh my, hurry up and put it down. This is heavy stuff, you can’t lift it.”
Zoey laughs. At least ten times a day in this household, she is reminded of her status as a pregnant woman.
For example …
Early this morning Nini ‘lectured’ her with her little waist crossed, “Zoey , Grandma said you can’t go into the kitchen when you’re pregnant with the baby! There’s oil in the kitchen, what if you fall?”
A moment later KK had a little face, “Zoey , how can you lie on your back? You have a little baby!!!”
There were some nagging words, but they made her feel so happy. Never before, had she enjoyed such treatment.
…
Jerry Xiao was tying his tie as he hurried down the stairs, and Zoey rushed up to him, stood on her tiptoes, and took his tie, “I’ll do it.”
“Please, Mrs. Zhan.” Jerry Xiao gladly handed over such a job, to his wife, his arm around her waist. Enjoying such sweetness so early in the morning, Mrs. Zhan smiled with relief and hurriedly pulled the two smiling children out of the hall, not forgetting to remind, “Don’t delay for too long, Ah Feng could have been waiting outside the door for half an hour.”
“I’m going away for seven days this time, and I’ll try to be back in five.” Jerry Xiao bent his head to look at his wife’s faceplate.
“Don’t be in such a hurry, it’s okay to be slow. Just don’t worry about the family, with me and my mother-in-law, the two kids-no, the three kids-will be fine. Trust me.”
“It’s not that I don’t believe you.” Just, inexplicably, the heart is just very uneasy. “Why don’t I book a plane ticket now, and you accompany me there, okay?”
He was so worried that something would happen to her, and even more worried that, when something happened to her, he wouldn’t be there to give her any help.
Zoey laughed, “Didn’t you used to refuse to let me go with you because you were afraid I’d get tired?”
“But I want you with me now.”
“No way. The baby is already over six months old, I can’t be that adventurous again. If I really follow them there, my mother-in-law and mom and the others won’t know how worried they’ll be!”
“Really not going?” Jerry Xiao tried desperately to convince her.
“I’ll meet you at home.” Zoey laughed softly. After all, she would have loved to stay with him, but, of course, at this time of year, it was the little ones that mattered!
Jerry Xiao had to give up and hugged Zoey into his arms, “Then you have to promise me that you will be a good boy, and that you won’t touch anything that you shouldn’t do or touch.”
“I know.” She nodded assuredly.
“Take care of yourself.”
“Definitely!”
He was a little more at ease with that.
“President, we’re running out of time.” Feng finally entered and urged. Seeing the scene of them embracing each other, he felt it was inappropriate, but there was nothing he could do. Only to continue to remind, “Only 40 minutes to board the plane.”
“I know.” Jerry Xiao let go of Zoey , and barked a few more words before turning to still say goodbye to the child and his mother.
Crouching down, he hugged his two children, allowing them to plant a kiss on each of their cheeks before leaving the house.
Since when did he become such a homebody?
Looking at their happy family, Ah Feng also smiled with relief. The love that has been going around in circles has come to the best place after all. …
On the third day of his business trip, Zoey woke up and the first thing she did was put her hand on her belly and feel the baby’s throbbing. She loved this moment, such a feeling of excitement. There was something about being a first-time mom that moved her.
But today …
Put your hand on it, but you can’t feel any movement.
Thinking it was her illusion, she put it down for a long while, and it still didn’t move. Heart immediately panicked, “baby, you do not scare mommy …”
She murmured, even her hands trembled, but she still couldn’t feel it no matter what. How could this happen? Obviously, when she went for a checkup some time ago, the baby was still fine! Although there are a lot of stillbirths and slipped fetuses in IVF, but … how could such a situation occur?
She couldn’t believe it!
Hastily feeling for his bedside cell phone, he immediately dialed a string of numbers.
“Zoey …”
Hearing Owen’s voice, Zoey choked up, “Brother, take me to the hospital …”
“What’s wrong Zoey ! Don’t cry, I’ll be right there!” Owen’s voice was filled with panic.
“The baby … The baby isn’t moving …”
“Don’t you scare yourself. Stay in bed and get some rest, I’ll be there in ten minutes.”
After hanging up the phone, Zoey was afraid to go out. The kids hadn’t gone to school yet, and her mother-in-law had already arrived, so she was afraid that she’d scare them by being like this. By the time Owen gets here, the kids are already at school.
“Owen, so early?” Mrs. Zhan greeted Owen.
“Auntie, is Zoey upstairs?” Owen asked worriedly.
“In, like, not waking up.”
“I’ll go up.” Owen hurriedly went upstairs, not even bothering to change his shoes. When Mrs. Zhan saw this appearance, she was shocked in her heart, expecting that something had happened, and asked, “Is there something wrong?”
Owen didn’t dare to scare the elders, so he could only say, “She said she wasn’t feeling well, so I’ll take her to the hospital first.”
“Then I’ll accompany you all.”
Mrs. Zhan followed.
As soon as Owen pushed open the door to his room, he saw Zoey sitting there with a pale face and red eyes.
Without saying a word, he hurriedly picked up Zoey and ran downstairs. Mrs. Zhan didn’t dare to ask a word, her heart was drumming, and she quickly followed.
…
Car, drive straight to the hospital.
The first time I saw Zoey, I saw her in the kitchen, and I saw her in the bathroom. The first time I saw Zoey, I saw her in the library, and I saw her in the library, but I didn’t know what she was doing.
“The baby is lifeless in the womb …”
Even though it was the second time she’d heard the doctor’s words, Zoey’s heart still shook hard, as if she’d been struck by a whip.
Tears, all at once, fell. She didn’t say anything, just closed her eyes and lay there. The heart no longer hurts, but also not humming a sound. In her mind, flashed through the joy of Jerry for so long, the expectations of all the people …
For a moment, more tears flowed. Hands, trembling, caressed the unmoving abdomen.
Is it because Mommy wasn’t careful enough, so, the baby abandoned everyone? Baby … you are so cruel …
“Get ready for surgery!” The doctor spoke.
Mrs. Zhan and Owen had to nod their heads, the pain in their hearts was not much less than Zoey’s, especially when they saw how sad Zoey looked.
…
“Mom, please, don’t tell Jerryyet,” Zoey begged her mother-in-law.
“How can you not talk to him about something this big?”
“He’s on a business trip right now, he must not be able to take this kind of blow. Mom, I want to keep doing it.”
Mrs. Zhan looked at her with heartache, “Zoey , since there are already two children, in fact, it’s okay not to have any more. It all comes with the territory, and Jerry will definitely not be willing to have another.”
“Hmm. I agree with Auntie. How are you going to cope with taking care of three kids when you have another one?” Owen joined in convincing his sister.
Bringing up a child is not hard, after all, the family has many hands. It s just that he is worried … that if the next time is still the same result, her emotions will break down.
“No, please, you guys are on the same page as me. jerry is expecting a baby, how can I bear to, to get his hopes up?”
Mrs. Zhan and Owen look at each other.
Silly girl, with her heart completely set on Jerry …
…
Jerry Xiao had never blamed himself like this before. I can’t believe he didn’t stay by her side when she was going through something so tragic. Clothed, lying on the bed, holding the recently operated her tightly in his arms.
“It must hurt, doesn’t it?” He heartbreakingly kissed her tearful eyes, “Don’t cry, don’t cry … After that, you don’t have to endure this kind of pain anymore. We do not give birth! No more births!”
“No, I want to give birth … Please, let me do it again, okay?”
“Not good!” He refused without hesitation, aching with pain, “This child has already tortured you enough, and now …” He paused for a moment, looking at her glum expression, and didn’t continue on, but only changed his words, “In short, I’m just forbid you to do it again. What regret, what expectation, I do not care! We are now a family, already very complete! I’m very satisfied like this!”
Zoey didn’t say anything more, just leaned into his arms and listened to his heartbeat. But she had made up her mind …
The baby, she’s going to have another! Definitely!
…
“Zoey , have you thought about it?” A few months later, Yami Hu accompanied her daughter to the hospital.
Zoey nodded her head again, and Owen looked at his stubborn sister, knowing that he couldn’t convince her, so he didn’t say much. He only urged, “You’d better tell Jerry as soon as possible, otherwise, he might get angry.”
“It’s okay, I’ve got it figured out.” Zoey was brimming with confidence.
Was wheeled into the transplant room and made a baby again. This time, she didn’t dare to slack off at all, and she took a little bit of what the doctor said about the stripes to heart.
After lying in the hospital for a few hours, waiting for the pain to subside, Owen took Zoey home, and Yami Hu and Owen kept going back and forth before letting Zoey in.
…
A month later, the child survived again in her stomach. Zoey looked at the inspection report with delight and took a taxi directly to my group of companies. All the way up the stairs unimpeded, to the top floor, Jerry Xiao is negotiating with the customer, after hearing the secretary’s report, he originally because of the negotiation and wrinkled eyebrows, all of a sudden stretch open.
Whispering into the secretary’s ear, “Tell the lady I’ll be out in two minutes.”
“Yes, President.” The secretary hurriedly went out. Jerry Xiao immediately re-engaged in the negotiation.
…
Zoey’s joy was unstoppable. Two minutes passed, but it seemed like a long time. Until the door to the office was pushed open from the outside, and she put down the cup in her hand with delight, having turned to throw herself into the wide embrace.
“What happened today?” He asked. He couldn’t help but look at her smiling and laughing.
“Jerry, I … am pregnant!” Zoey surprises her with this fact.
“Pregnant?” He frowned decidedly, pulling her slightly away from his arms and looking at her still unmoving abdomen, “You went through with it without me? Zoey , you should know better …”
“No, he or she was conceived naturally.”
“Natural conception?” He clearly didn’t believe it. “Didn’t the doctor say you have tubes on both sides …”
“No, it was misdiagnosed. I went to the hospital today and realized that only one was broken. So, I’m pregnant now!” Zoey wouldn’t dare tell the truth.
