Chapter 1346: I Only Want You (44)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although the pregnancy stick had already shown that she was pregnant, at this point, she was still anxious and afraid.

She was afraid that it would be an ectopic pregnancy, or that there would be other problems.

Although the check-up was very short, she felt like every second was an eternity.

Finally, the doctor was done checking and she sat upright before getting down from the bed. No. 8 then passed her quilted coat back for her to wear.

"Congratulations, you're pregnant. The embryo has been successfully implanted in your womb for about 42 days. It looks like everything is fine at the moment. But Ms. Mo, your uterine lining is rather thin, so I suggest that from this moment onwards, you rest in bed at home. After three months, you should come for another check-up. Give this report to the doctor to take a look again."

"Alright. Thank you, doctor."

The doctor passed her the ultrasound report, and Mo Li and No. 8 took it out with them. The two looked at the ultrasound report as they walked, feeling rather anxious but overjoyed at the same time.

With the ultrasound report in hand, they returned to the gynecologist's office again.

Unexpectedly, the doctor inside the office was Qiao Yina this time.

She was originally a gynecologist and was just transferred to the First People's Hospital not too long ago. She had just changed shifts with her colleague and, as such, it was not surprising to see her there.

Upon seeing the two, Qiao Yina was rather taken aback.

"Ms. Mo, are you feeling unwell?"

Mo Li sat down and passed her the ultrasound report. "This is the report from the ultrasound room. The ultrasound doctor told me to bring it here for the gynecologist to see."

Qiao Yina took it from her. After glancing at the contents of the report, she was rather surprised. "You're pregnant?"

"Yes."

Qiao Yina's face froze but she still said, "Congratulations. I don't see any problems from this report. You just need to rest well and start to consume some folic acid pills."

Mo Li nodded. "Alright."

Qiao Yina wrote down a prescription of folic acid pills for her. When they left, she had still yet to recover from the shock. Mo Li was actually pregnant?

She herself had not gotten pregnant, yet Mo Li was actually pregnant.

At this point in time, she received a call from Ye Xiaotian, who told her to get off her shift.

She briefly told the doctor sitting opposite her, "I'm going to see my mother-in-law, she's not going to make it. It'll be hard on you tonight."

"It's alright, go ahead."

With her white robe still on, she rushed to the ward department of the hospital.

Ye Xiaotian, his brother and sister-in-law, as well as Mr. Ye, were inside the ward, standing by Mrs. Ye.

Mrs. Ye had grown extremely thin by this point, and her eyes were already sunken. She looked lifeless, like a shriveled corpse, and it was a sight that was difficult to take in.

The doctor had already informed them that she was critically ill and that they should be mentally prepared.

Ye Xiaotian also kept in mind what An Xiaoning had told him: that Mrs. Ye would pass away at 7:14 that tonight.

As such, he had asked the whole family to come and see her.

Qiao Yina closed the door shut and looked at her mother-in-law lying on the hospital bed, not making a sound at all.

It didn't feel right to just stand there and do nothing, so Qiao Yina asked Ye Xiaotian to go out with her for a moment. "I have something to tell you."

"Okay."

When they were outside the door, Qiao Yina said, "Didn't you previously say… if Mo Li were to come to the hospital to have any check-up done, I have to tell you if I know about it? She came by just now."

Ye Xiaotian remained calm and composed. "What was the check-up for?"

"She… she's pregnant. The embryo is 42 days old already."

Ye Xiaotian's nostrils constricted, and he unknowingly clenched his hands and asked again as if he had not heard her words clearly, "What?"

"I said she's pregnant, the embryo is 42 days old already."

He did not express any more abnormality in his reaction, at least not in front of his wife. Seeing how he was acting, Qiao Yina did not say anything else.

"Was she alone?"

"How could she possibly be? Her man was with her."

"Alright, got it." Ye Xiaotian raised his wrist and glanced at the time and saw that it was only past five o'clock. There were still about two hours to seven o'clock.

He instructed Qiao Yina, "Go in the ward first. I'll go out and have a smoke."

Qiao Yina nodded and entered the ward.

Ye Xiaotian went out of the ward department and headed directly to his car.

Inside his car, he started to light up a cigarette, but perhaps because of the cold or something else, his hands were shaking and he failed to light it up a few times consecutively.

When the cigarette was finally lit, he breathed in the smoke deeply and gazed outside the window. Snowflakes were falling down slowly and it was simply a beautiful sight.

Yet the wound in his heart still had not healed completely and hurt from being torn apart.

He smoked many cigarettes in one sitting. There were a whole lot of cigarette buds on the ground outside his car, but they were very soon covered up by the snow.

When Ye Xiaotian returned to the hospital ward, it was about seven in the evening already.

He got everyone else to go out first, claiming that he had to speak in private with his mother.

Everyone abided by his instructions and went outside to wait.

Ye Xiaotian bent down and looked at his mother's face.

"Mother…" His low and hoarse voice had a tinge of heartache. "Mo Li's pregnant."

Mrs. Ye's originally listless eyes suddenly glistened.

"Wh… what?"

"She's more than one month pregnant already." Ye Xiaotian sniffed a little, his eyes reddening. "I regret it so much. I could have treated her very well. I could have cherished and protected her, but I didn't manage to do that. All I gave her was suffering."

Seeing the state he was in, Mrs. Ye consoled him, "Son… forget the past, let bygones be bygones."

"Mother, I love her. She's the only woman I've truly loved." He straightened his body and said, "Don't tell me that until now, you don't feel that you've let her down?"

Mrs. Ye's eyes were slightly unfocused. "Now, it's too late to say anything already, so I don't think I've let her down. Even when I'm dead, I won't think I've let her down."

"Even on your deathbed, you still want to keep your dignity. Actually, you've already regretted it, haven't you?" Ye Xiaotian held onto her hand. "Mother, let's not be mother and son in our next lives anymore. Promise me, let's not have any relation with each other ever again in our future lives. This life will mark the end of our fate as mother and son."

Tears were spilling out from the corner of Mrs. Ye's eyes, and he reached out to wipe them away for her.

On the third day of the 11th lunar month, accurately at 7:14 pm, Mrs. Ye passed away.

Ye Xiaotian did not continue staying in the hospital anymore. While the family brought Mrs. Ye's body back to the Ye residence, he went to the Gu residence instead.

When he arrived, Gu Beicheng was carrying his son and playing with him. Upon hearing that Ye Xiaotian was here, he placed his son down on the bed beside Lin Mingxi. The weather was pretty cold out there so he could not possibly carry his child out.

Once he arrived downstairs, he noticed Ye Xiaotian sitting on the sofa, looking extremely grim and dull.

"Xiaotian, what's wrong?"

"Beicheng, my mother's dead."

Upon hearing this, Gu Beicheng patted his shoulders and replied, "My condolences."

"Beicheng, get a few bottles of wine you have in your house. I want to drink."

Seeing how horrible of a mood he was in, Gu Beicheng then got the maid to get some wine and decided to drink a few glasses with him.

However, he did not expect that Ye Xiaotian would raise the wine bottle and drink directly from it. From the way the other was drinking, Gu Beicheng knew that he was feeling extremely upset.

"Xiaotian, don't drink like this, there's a glass here. Why are you drinking so fast?"

He wanted to take away the wine bottle in Ye Xiaotian's hand but was unsuccessful.
