"Yes, our child. You are so careless. How could you not know that you're pregnant?" Chu Lui's hand shifted and lay flattened on her stomach. It was warm. He did not know why, but his heart felt numb.

Sorry, Rainy. I can't save you. Suddenly, a sharp pang pierced his heart. It hurt so much that the veins on the back of his hands almost burst. He didn't dare to think of that child or her little face.

At this moment, inside the prestigious VIP room, everyone was absorbed in their own thoughts. Even the atmosphere in the room seemed to have thinner causing them to feel suffocated as a result.

Chu Lui's hand remained on Li Manni's stomach as though by doing this, he could put himself at ease. He would not think about that face, the one child that he had deserted.

Mrs. Li was right.

How could other people's child be more important than his own? That's right. His child was the most important person to him.

If he were to choose, there was no doubt about it. He needed this child; his family needed this child. Chu Enterprise needed to have an heir. At last, Li Manni smiled with satisfaction. Perhaps, among the many people in the room, she was the only one who could really smile.

That's because now, she had everything.

She had everything she had ever wished for. Whatever she didn't want would soon disappear.

She closed her eyes in silence, wondering how good her dream would be tonight.

While Chu Lui stared deeply at her with his dark eyes, an extremely painful look appeared at the corner of his eyes which could not be wiped away. He turned around and looked out the window. His eyebrows were knitted together with something that did not belong to him, like one who had gone through great changes. So he, Chu Lui, had also met with this day when he would have his internal struggles. Li Manni was sleeping soundly, but he doubted he would be having any rest tonight. It did not matter as long as it was what she wanted.

His wife and his unborn child needed his protection.

In another slightly normal hospital, Xia Ruoxin wiped the stain off Rainy's mouth gently. She had vomited again. It has been a few days since she has eaten a good meal, and she has been having a fever for the whole day.

"Mommy, I'm in pain." Her little hands grabbed at Xia Ruoxin's clothes. She was actually a very strong child, and she would never voice or scream in pain. However, this time, she had said it's painful. It must have been really painful for her.

Exactly how much suffering could a three-year-old endure? Any child her age would have cried at the slightest touch. However, her daughter—who was going through so much pain—could only utter 'Mommy, I'm in pain'.

"Mommy knows." She wrapped her arms around her daughter's tiny body. "Mommy knows you are in pain. I am here with you in pain. Bear with it for a few more days, okay? Once you have been cured of your sickness, you won't feel any more pain. Mommy will buy you lots and lots of hair clips with butterfly knot and pretty clothes, too."

"Mommy, you can't lie to me…" Rainy's voice was getting softer and softer. She shrank deeper into her mother's arms, her tiny body kept shivering.

Xia Ruoxin placed her hand against her daughter's forehead and realized that her temperature was shockingly high.

"Doctor… Doctor… " She scooped her daughter up as she called out for the doctor. What to do? What should she do? Her daughter's temperature was like having a fever again. It was getting higher and higher each time. The frequency of her fever was getting more and more. It was becoming more critical each time.
