"Honey, what's wrong with you these past two days? You seem to be absent-minded. Are you afraid of having a baby?"
Huo Yunchen touched her belly and comforted her softly.
The countdown to the due date was approaching, and he was just as anxious as she was, but also looking forward to it.
The private hospital's confinement ward has been reserved for a long time. The surgeon, confinement nanny, and nanny are all ready, just waiting for these two little guys to land.
"Don't be afraid, I will always be with you. And dad, mom, your grandparents, aunts, everyone will be with you."
"Well, I'm not afraid. It's not like I've never given birth."
She said confidently, with a slight smile on her lips.
"Honey, you are the bravest."
He kissed her lips, and she responded lightly, still absent-minded.
She suddenly asked inexplicably: "If one day, you were asked to choose between me and your mother, who would you choose?"
"What is this question? What are you thinking in your little head?"
He touched her hair gently but didn't answer.
Bai Qingqing also knew that he had gone too far. One was his wife and the other was his mother.
She didn't want this day to come, because no matter what choice he made, it would be painful.
She didn't want to see him in pain, not at all.
"Qingqing, promise me never to choose between you and my mother. You know I will definitely choose you, but I can't give up on her."
"I know, I won't."
She hugged him and patted his shoulders gently. Only when she hugged him could she feel calm and stop thinking about Song Chaoyang's words.
However, a scream suddenly came from the other side of the compound.
"ah"
Bai Qingqing's heart suddenly sank, and she subconsciously stood up.
Aunt Rong, it’s Aunt Rong’s voice.
She felt inexplicably scared, and an unknown premonition came over her like an overwhelming sea.
"Qing Qing, please slow down and don't be anxious. What could happen at home?"
Huo Yunchen quickly stepped up to support her and walked towards the compound where Shen Qingyue and the others lived.
As soon as they walked through the door of their small courtyard, they met Liu Yun running over in a panic.
"Sir, young mistress, Aunt Rong, Aunt Rong, she fell down the stairs."
"Falled? Is it serious? Have you called Dr. An?"
Bai Qingqing's heart felt like falling from a hundred-meter cliff, and she rushed forward three steps at a time.
how come
"Prepare a car and take us to the hospital, quickly."
Bai Qingqing was so anxious that she fell down the dozens of steps to the second floor from the hall.
A young person can't bear it, let alone an old man over sixty years old.
When she arrived at the hall, she saw Aunt Rong lying on the ground, her body twitching continuously, and blood pouring from her mouth. She was so frightened that her hands and feet became weak.
"Aunt Rong, how could this happen? How could it happen?"
"lightly"
"Aunt Rong, don't be afraid. You're fine. I'll take you to the hospital."
"No, it's too late. Qing, it's her, she."
Aunt Rong's ribs were broken and her spleen was pierced, and she was already dying.
She kept holding her last breath, waiting for the light.
She had something to tell her, and if she didn't say it, she wouldn't be able to say it again.
"She is her"
Her eyes were bloodshot, full of resentment and hatred, and looked very terrifying.
Bai gently looked in the direction of her finger and saw Shen Qingyue running over in her pajamas.
But in fact, the person Aunt Rong was referring to was Liu Yun, but she took advantage of the chaos and quietly retreated behind Shen Qingyue.
"Be gentle and protect yourself"
Bai Qingqing watched helplessly as Aunt Rong lowered her hands in her arms, closed her eyes, and lost her breath.
Her heart felt as if it had been thrown onto the ice that had not melted for thousands of years, and she hugged her body that was still warm and refused to let go for a long time.
She is the only relative in the world who loves her as much as her mother.
She is dead, why did she die like this
Bai opened his mouth slightly and was so sad that he lost his voice. His tears kept falling down like broken beads.
Huo Yunchen stepped forward and patted her shoulder gently, took her into his arms, held her head and let her cry on his shoulder.
Shen Qingyue was worried that her sadness would hurt the child in her belly, so she stepped forward to try to separate her from Aunt Rong.
But as soon as her hand touched Aunt Rong, she heard Bai growl softly and sharply: "Don't touch her."
"Qingqing, no one wants this kind of accident to happen. However, people cannot be resurrected, so you have to express your condolences. How can the child in your belly bear such sadness? You are the one who is about to give birth, even if you don't care for yourself. You should also consider the child in your belly.”
Although Shen Qingyue was embarrassed by her yelling in front of so many servants, she could only endure it.
Bai Qingqing wiped her tears and smiled coldly.
Thinking of what Aunt Rong said before she died.
Why was Aunt Rong pointing at her and asking her to protect herself.
"Mom, do you really care about me or the child in my belly?"
"Your child must be sad and confused. Yunchen quickly takes her back to rest."
Huo Yunchen lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Bai Qingqing, and said lightly: "My mother is right, people cannot be resurrected after death, and no matter how sad they are, it will not help. You have to take care of yourself and your children."
No matter how sad a good person is, it won't help.
Bai gently waved his hand and threw Huo Yunchen away, holding Aunt Rong stubbornly and refusing to let go.
"When my mother died when I was ten years old, there was only one person in the world who was really kind to me, and that was Aunt Rong. If the Bai family didn't give me enough to eat, she would secretly make food for me, and if they didn't give me good clothes, she She made clothes for me by herself and used me to gain respect for the Bai family. Aunt Rong also followed me quietly, fearing that I would be bullied. My mother died, and I cried with my hands on the quilt. I've been there for three days and three nights, and now Aunt Rong is gone. But I can't cry or be sad. I have to endure it because I have to take care of the child in my belly."
She shed tears as she spoke.
Sobbing and taking a deep breath.
As a mother, of course she knows how to take care of her children.
But no one can stop her from mourning the most important person.
These words and things pierced Huo Yunchen's ears like dense needles.
His cold eyes swept over everyone standing in the living room, and his sharp eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Everyone lowered their heads, everyone was in danger.
No one dared to take a step closer to her, and Shen Qingyue could only sigh secretly.
No one even dared to breathe out, and even a pin dropped to the ground would make a noise.
Until Tiantian's appearance broke the terrible silence.
"Mom, what's wrong with Grandma Rong?"
When his childish voice penetrated into Bai Qingqing's ears, he suddenly stopped asking as if being pricked by needles.
He put down Aunt Rong in a panic and raised his hand to cover Tiantian's eyes.
"Son, don't look. Grandma Rong fell and was injured. Go back to sleep."
Tiantian stood there obediently and let her cover her eyes.
Pulling her mother's sleeve and shouting: "Mom, I'm afraid, I want you to stay with me."
Bai Qingqing knew that there was nothing she could do to save herself if she continued crying, Aunt Rong could no longer come back.
What she wants to do is to live a good life, bring the evildoers to justice, and comfort her spirit until she is reunited.
