The matter between Meng Shiqing and Duan Jingyan continues to ferment. With the support of the Meng family, Meng Shiqing can only remain calm. It is said that she has been hiding at home and dare not come out, and her reputation is ruined. Duan Jingyan was almost confused this time and was still desperately trying to contact Shi Yun.
Shi Yun didn't pay attention. She had more worries.
Mr. Ji just called her and asked her to go back to Ji's house for a meal.
In the past, she was heartless. Ever since she went to Mr. Ji's birthday party and was given a bracelet, she would call to express condolences every few days. Now that she has moved out of the villa, she has not called him again and is somewhat evasive.
The other party's words seemed to be testing her current relationship with Ji Huai, and he also expressed slight dissatisfaction with her not calling during this period.
Shi Yun made a clumsy excuse and stumbled to end the call.
Mr. Ji has a wide range of hobbies, from antiques to calligraphy and painting to tea tasting, and he is somewhat proficient in them all. She wanted to come to her door, but she didn't know what to give, so she called Ji Huai.
"Grandpa wants you to go back for dinner tomorrow?" Ji Huai was slightly surprised.
"Didn't he tell you?" Shi Yun was also stunned.
Is it possible to invite only her
Ji Huai: "No."
“…”
She understood that Mr. Ji had not found out anything from her, and planned to see if she came alone or with Ji Huai, so that he could see the emotional state of the two of them, and he could also ask her alone.
"I will prepare the gifts and pick you up tomorrow." He didn't ask any more questions, he had already arranged the matter, and then said, "Grandpa has been in poor health recently, and he probably wants you to come back for a meal. There is nothing else. .”
"… Um."
…
Before going to Ji's house, Shi Yun dressed up carefully and chose a plain long woolen dress, paired with white high-top boots. The overall color scheme was soft and fresh, making her look comfortable.
When the time came, he came to pick her up on time. When the car drove to Ji's house, he took out the gifts from the trunk. Seeing that she was standing still, he reached out to hold her hand, "What are you doing standing there?"
"What gifts have you prepared?" she asked.
Ji Huai: "Grandpa likes the tea set. These are not important. He doesn't have the energy to bother with it now. Just come. If you feel uncomfortable staying here, I will take you away soon."
Shi Yun was led into the house by him. Looking at the two people's clasped hands, she had mixed feelings for a moment.
Although he is domineering and arrogant, he will arrange all kinds of things for her. When she is around him, it seems that all she needs to do is be obedient. He will be very happy when he is obedient, as if he enjoys the feeling of being needed. .
And what about her
She is quite stubborn and is used to being strong, so she is unwilling to accept weakness and prefers to go against him. It is quite comfortable and worry-free to rely on him occasionally. He trusted everything she said, and she was also very greedy for the magical feeling.
The housekeeper greeted me with a smile: "Miss Shi, long time no see."
"Long time no see." Shi Yun smiled lightly.
Mr. Ji stood up from the sofa with a cane and looked at the two people who came in hand in hand. His brows relaxed a lot, but he said: "Every young man is busy, unlike an old man like me who just waits to be buried."
There is a row of black lines on Shi Yun's head, and it is an ancestral tradition for the Ji family to speak unflatteringly.
"Isn't that right? I took some time out of my busy schedule to come see you. What do you want to eat? Is the meal ready?" Ji Huai answered.
Mr. Ji looked at him with turbid eyes and lowered his face.
Shi Yun tugged at the corner of Ji Huai's clothes, looked at Mr. Ji and asked with concern: "Are you feeling better?"
"I'm 80 years old, how can I get better? One day at a time." Mr. Ji said and walked to the restaurant, "Eat."
"You went to the company to attend the shareholders' meeting two days ago. You are very strong." Ji Huai refused to follow this trick and led Shi Yun to follow him. "It's boring to eat alone. Xiaoyun and I will come back often in the future. I’ll keep you company.”
Mr. Ji's face was expressionless, but he didn't object.
At the dinner table, the three of them didn't talk much. They accidentally mentioned Meng Shiqing, which naturally involved Ji's mother. Mr. Ji commented lightly: "That girl from the Meng family was raised to be arrogant and careless, and she will fall into trouble sooner or later. Her mother is on good terms with your mother. Half a pound or two."
"Here we go again." Ji Huai gave Shi Yun a piece of crispy garlic spareribs and was serving her soup. He smiled and asked Mr. Ji, "Didn't those two come to see you?"
He was referring to Ji's father and Ji's mother. They had returned to China for nearly a month and were living elsewhere. They didn't notify him when they returned. They were so estranged that they didn't look like a family.
Hearing this, Mr. Ji's face sank. Thinking of Shi Yun's presence, he suppressed his anger and said, "Don't bother me."
Ji Huai placed the bowl of mutton soup in front of Shi Yun, chuckled twice, and said no more thoughts.
Shi Yun drank the bowl of soup in front of her. The smell was very light and she smelled the fragrance. After drinking half the bowl, she felt tired and her appetite became bad. She put down the spoon slowly.
"Eat another piece of ribs." Seeing that she hadn't taken a few mouthfuls of soup, Ji Huai gave her another piece of ribs.
Shi Yun has been naughty recently. Looking at the ribs in the bowl, he lightly kicked the person next to him with his feet under the table. The crispy pork ribs are fragrant and glutinous. The first piece is okay, but the second piece feels greasy.
She can't stop eating, which gives a bad impression, but she really can't eat.
Ji Huai seemed to understand instantly and took it out of her bowl: "Forget it, I'll eat it."
Mr. Ji watched his behavior and took the opportunity to preach with a straight face: "There are no rules." After saying this, he looked at Shi Yun and signaled that there was still more on the plate.
Ji Huai jumped in and said, "Female celebrities should eat less, otherwise they will gain weight and look bad, and they will have to lose weight."
Mr. Ji looked at him and was about to curse when Shi Yun said, "I just eat green vegetables. Green vegetables are delicious."
Look, how aggrieved I feel when I hear this.
Ji Huai also gave her some green vegetables, which made her look even more pitiful. Mr. Ji looked back and forth between the two of them several times, but said nothing in the end.
After meal.
Ji Huai went upstairs to pick up the documents that were stranded in the room last time. Mr. Ji looked at the housekeeper, who handed Shi Yun a wooden box.
Shi Yun didn't dare to follow.
"Take it, you can't take it into a coffin when you are old." Mr. Ji didn't look up and sipped his tea carefully.
"Thank you...Thank you, Grandpa Ji." She paused, her eyes darting away, a little restrained.
Mr. Ji put down his tea cup and looked at her with raised eyebrows: "We were so generous last time, why are we a bit coy this time? What did his mother say to you? If you shrink back, life will not be easy for you in the future."
Shi Yun lowered his eyes and remained silent.
"A woman can achieve great things if she is sweet-tongued but cruel on the outside, soft on the outside but strong on the inside, and at the same time careful in her words and deeds." He said, changing the subject, "Don't be like his mother, who is narrow-minded, but be open-minded and calm. Some. Ji Huai has a hot temper, a lot of confidence, a big temper, and always shows off his abilities. What I like most is that you have a stable temperament and a sensitive and delicate mind, which is not a bad thing. You think far and far."
Mr. Ji was talking, Shi Yun looked up at him again, and saw him smiling: "I'm too dazzled to see the news, and I don't understand the hot spots. Complementarity is a good thing, let him learn to take responsibility, and you can also learn to let down your guard. . Men have to take care of things, and the men of the Ji family can take care of things for their wives."
"I still say the same thing, be broad-minded and open-minded."
…
Shi Yun felt that there was something in Mr. Ji's words and kept thinking about it on the way back.
Ji Huai saw that she didn't eat much for dinner, so he wanted to take her for a midnight snack, but she refused. He didn't say it yet, but she didn't feel it yet. As soon as he said it, she felt her stomach was turbulent and it was really greasy. She sniffed and felt that there was a strange smell in his car.
"Strange smell?" Ji Huai opened the car window further, but once she opened it, she felt cold again.
Shi Yun pressed her head against the car window, feeling a little wilted: "I haven't been sleeping well recently, my energy is not good, and my appetite is bad. I can't fall asleep when I want to sleep. I yawn constantly when I don't want to sleep. It's very annoying. I can't eat anything. It’s annoying not to eat.”
She was really annoyed, and her words were filled with anxiety.
"Take you to eat Malatang?" Ji Huai had a free hand, held her hand at his side, and kneaded it gently.
"I don't want to eat, I'm sleepy." She didn't break away and closed her eyes gently.
Ji Huai didn't say anything, turned the steering wheel, and drove into the community.
Mr. Ji's return gift to her was an antique painting. During this period, he received a lot of supplements. He didn't need them, so he asked the housekeeper to give her a few boxes.
Ji Huai helped her get it, walked to the kitchen with ease and boiled water. He only boiled a little, then boiled it quickly, poured it into a cup, and walked out with it.
Shi Yun was half-leaning on the sofa, with a bad expression on his face, and shrugged his head. He asked with concern: "Is it a stomachache?"
She raised her eyelids and looked at him, pursed her lips, and seemed to complain: "Your driving skills are not good, and I get carsick."
Ji Huai knew that she didn't get motion sickness, so he reached over and touched her forehead to confirm that she had no fever. He sat with her for a while and saw that she was much better. He handed her warm water and said, "Drink something to calm down."
Shi Yun was holding the water cup and drinking water in small sips. Her complexion was rosy again and she was fine.
"Do you still want to drink? There's still some in the kitchen. I'll pour it for you." He asked.
"You are a guest. This is my kitchen. I will cook it myself." She said and was about to stand up. Ji Huai suddenly turned over and imprisoned her on the sofa with his hands. He stared at her with his dark eyes and his warm breath. On her face, "Are you just throwing it away after using it?"
"If you don't throw it away after using it, what should you keep it for?" Shi Yun raised her hand to his chest, then released her hand and tapped him gently, "Don't push yourself too hard... um... "
Before she finished speaking, he leaned down and took the pink lips he was thinking about. Shi Yun's pupils shrank slightly. He sucked gently, and his hand went to the back of her head, dragging her neck, and continued to deepen the feeling. kiss.
Lips and teeth touched, the tip of his tongue pried open her teeth and penetrated deep inside.
Shi Yun's hands grabbed the edge of the sofa, her body tensed into a line, and she fell into his tenderness. He gently picked her up and walked to the bedroom with his long legs.
She was put on the bed, and he half-pressed her up. Just as Shi Yun was about to stand up and speak, she was kissed again. He covered her delicate and sweet red lips and continued to caress her. Shi Yun had always been unable to resist him. In the past, she had been unable to resist him. He was somewhat proactive, and his body was extremely sensitive, causing him to tremble and his toes curled up together.
Ji Huai's fingers were nimble and he couldn't help but unbutton her long skirt. He was slapped hard.
He suddenly woke up, coughed slightly, and buttoned it up for her again, "I'm used to it."
"Get down here." She said quietly, but her voice was still a bit sticky and sticky.
"I swear, I don't want to do it." Ji Huai assured her and kissed her shamelessly, "I won't do it for sure. It's better to be safe. I won't do it if you ask me to."
Listening to his words, Shi Yun seemed to have gone back to the time when he was stubborn. He was really cautious and willing to endure it without a condom. He didn't know where this little guy came from.
"Who asked you to do it?" She deliberately picked up the words.
"Myself." Ji Huai reacted quickly, took the initiative to take responsibility, and then said softly, "I must protect you. You can't get pregnant out of wedlock. That would be bad for you."
Shi Yun pretended to snort coldly: "Are you afraid that if I want to come to you to settle accounts, I accidentally have a child, which will be more troublesome, right?"
"Do you really think so?" Ji Huai held her slender waist and looked at her, slightly sad, but he told the truth, "I didn't expect it to progress so fast at first. You are too stubborn. I want to leave you a note." Road, leave a way for myself. Later, I couldn't resist. I didn't know why, but I got carried away and had no future. Didn't you say you would let me be responsible? Well... I really want to get married, but I definitely won't be unmarried. Pregnant first, haven’t we been preparing for the wedding? We haven’t missed any measures.”
Shi Yun looked away, not even daring to look at him. She didn't regret or blame anyone for this matter. To put it bluntly, she herself had bad thoughts about him.
Seeing the complicated expression on his face, she regretted talking nonsense and blurted out: "It's not your decision to get pregnant out of wedlock. There are some things that you can't prevent."
Ji Huai: "If you can't help but get married, hold the wedding immediately."
"You don't have to get married to get pregnant..."
Before she could finish her words, he frowned with his slender black eyebrows and interrupted directly: "Of course you have to get married immediately if you are pregnant, otherwise you will raise her alone? What are you thinking in your head?"
"You don't necessarily want a man if you want a child." Shi Yun told a fallacy. This was what Xu Chuchu told her recently. It was said that the other party did not want to get married, but wanted children.
Ji Huai suspected that he had heard wrongly, and his brows were filled with helplessness: "Do you think of me as a sperm bank?"
Shi Yun said nothing, as if he was brewing some emotion.
He continued to look at her and lowered his voice to reject: "I don't agree. I can't let you get pregnant before marriage. Do you want to use my genes for nothing? That's a good idea."
Shi Yun: "I don't care."
Ji Huai was offended by her appearance, and reached out to pinch the tip of her nose: "Why do you like to be angry with me so much? Are you sure you don't want such good genes? You can have as many as you want when you get married, buy one, get one free, I Come and raise them.”
"But it would be better to have a daughter. According to the Ji family's ancestral tradition, father and son are at odds with each other, and they can live without contact for a long time, and then they are separated from each other for generations. I hope that this curse can be broken, and it will be broken by giving birth to a daughter."
…
"I am pregnant."
Her light words made the chattering Ji Huai suddenly stop, and then the room fell into mysterious silence.
He didn't speak for a long time. Shi Yun, who mustered up a lot of courage, had his thoughts flying around and stiffly twitched the corner of his mouth: "Actually..."
"You're done. You must get married. I don't agree with any other options!" Ji Huai's heart was beating wildly and he tried his best to restrain himself. His expression was solemn and he could not refuse.
Shi Yun: "..."
Young Master Ji did not give her a second choice: "Choose a time to get the certificate from me, the sooner the better."
She was angered by these overbearing words, and just as she was about to start speaking, he looked at her with his deep black eyes, and said firmly: "The child must be mine, don't make up any words to lie to me, I will give you a few more days at most." Prepare,"
Shi Yun was initially dissatisfied with his tough tone, but was finally moved by a certain sentence. She is a very sensitive person, and the reason for such hesitation is that he is too cautious. Maybe he does not want to have a baby early, or has other concerns. If a baby suddenly appears, she is afraid that his first reaction will be suspicion, and she has thought about it. , what would she do if he questioned.
But he didn't, he was so firm, and her little thoughts of fear suddenly dissipated, leaving only a sense of security.
Ji Huai didn't know when he fell asleep next to her and stretched out his arms to hug her. This time, he was cautious and nervous. His eyes accidentally moved to her belly and he breathed a little deeper.
Shi Yun stayed safely in his arms: "You must be very proud."
He didn't reply for a long time. After a while, a low and deep voice came: "I feel guilty."
Hearing this, she looked up at him. His face was solemn. When he saw her looking up, his big hands covered her smooth and white face. He seemed to have a thousand words to say, and finally said: "I'm sorry."
Shi Yun shook his head.
This is the responsibility of two people.
"I… "
"What do you mean by the ancestral discord between father and son in the Ji family? You haven't finished speaking yet." Shi Yun changed the subject with a smile, looking at him with confusion and curiosity.
Ji Huai met her eyes, the corners of his lips slowly curved, and his tone was gentle: "That..."
Ji Huai hugged her and briefly said that the Ji family's affairs were all scandals and no one else knew about them. The Ji family wanted to save face and did not tell anyone about it.
From the previous generations, the father and son of the Ji family have been at odds with each other. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a mess. They married ladies from all the families. They are all arrogant. Mrs. Ji is like this, and so is Ji’s mother. The situation is so serious that Mrs. Ji is critically ill in the hospital. , Ji’s mother wouldn’t even take a look, one can imagine how much she hates her.
As the eldest grandson, he was left to the old couple since childhood. They were dissatisfied with Ji's father and Ji's mother and loved him a lot. However, Ji's father and Ji's mother ignored him and thought he was a traitor.
Following the death of Mrs. Ji, Mr. Ji was in poor health, so he restrained himself, but it was just restrained and he could no longer fight.
After hearing this, Shi Yun understood more what Mr. Ji said to her, and turned to him and said, "Mrs. Ji asked me to return the bracelet to her. Have you returned it? It's in the safe in the villa."
Ji Huai: "There is no need to pay her back. If she can really give birth to another young master, just pass on the one she has. This one must be passed on to our children. Mrs. Ji is good at bullying and is arrogant. She will not do it because of you." Just be patient and stop, don't take her seriously, I will support you."
Ji's father and Ji's mother gave birth to a little son when they were abroad in their early years. He died of illness before he was born. Later, he has been recuperating and conceiving. I heard that he did several in vitro fertilizations later, but they were unsuccessful. As Ji's mother got older, There are many difficulties, but I haven’t given up yet, and I am still thinking about surrogacy.
The two of them looked down on him, so they kept trying to find a second heir. He had also looked away from him over the years, and there was not much family love left.
"I don't want your support." Shi Yun pushed him gently again.
"What should I do? I want to support you." After Ji Huai finished speaking, his thin lips covered her ear again, "It feels good to be needed by you. I will protect you and the child."
He missed the time when she relied on him wholeheartedly. His childhood experience made him have no sense of existence, so he had a more arrogant temper. But she trusted and loved him without reservation. At that time, he was very satisfied and happy, so he sank.
"I'll think about it." The ends of her eyes raised slightly, and she leaned into his arms.
At noon, South China Film and Television Building.
Xu Chuchu walked from the door to the studio, holding two bags in her hands, and placed the other beautifully packaged one in front of Shi Yun, "Master Ji ordered the lunch for you~"
Shi Yun took it: "Thank you."
Xu Chuchu also opened her lunch box, looked at Shi Yun and said, "Master Ji didn't say anything special when he found out you were pregnant? Did he just take it with you so easily? Just send you to the film and television studio in the morning and that's it?"
"What do you want to express?" Shi Yun smiled.
Xu Chuchu: "Aren't you overjoyed that someone suddenly becomes an expectant father?"
Speaking of this, Shi Yun broke open his chopsticks: "He didn't sleep all night, so I asked him to calm down. I'm going on maternity leave tomorrow, and he will go with me."
She was afraid of going to the hospital, and with Ji Huai accompanying her, she felt much more at ease.
Xu Chuchu was confused: "You haven't slept all night? Are you happy or scared?"
"Maybe I'm afraid of giving birth to a son."
"A wealthy family is afraid of having a son?" Xu Chuchu couldn't understand.
"I don't know." Shi Yun didn't say much.
Today's shooting tasks are a bit tight. I didn't take a lunch break after dinner and continued shooting.
Shi Yun was in better condition and finished ahead of schedule, and several people returned to the studio.
Everyone was busy, and Shi Yun's cell phone suddenly rang. She answered the call, her face changed slightly, and she walked out quickly.
Zhang Xiaoxiang printed a document, took it and went to find Shi Yun. Seeing that she was not there, she came out and asked, "Where is Sister Xiaoyun?"
"She's out for something." One of the staff members replied.
Zhang Xiaoxiang: "Who are you going out with?"
"Myself, I took the car keys and left..."
"How can she be allowed to drive by herself?" Zhang Xiaoxiang didn't finish listening and ran out anxiously. She called Shi Yun again and found that the line was busy.
When we arrived at the garage, no one was found.
"What's wrong?" Xu Chuchu was frightened by her. Zhang Xiaoxiang called Ji Huai and said with a sad face, "Master Ji won't let Sister Xiaoyun drive by herself. Isn't her head a little uncomfortable? Driving is dangerous. .”
"I went to the hospital for a checkup last time and there was nothing wrong. She has a driver's license. I thought something was wrong. It was so scary." Xu Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief and asked her to go to work quickly. "What a fuss."
Zhang Xiaoxiang was worried and insisted on calling Ji Huai.
On the other side, Ji Huai received the call and stood up from his seat. His heart slowly sank. He hung up before hearing Zhang Xiaoxiang's words and called Shi Yun instead.
The line is always busy.
He quickly walked to the elevator with his car keys, got in the car, turned on the engine, accelerated out of the garage, and continued to call her. She was in a car accident in her previous life. Many things in this life have been reversed, but she still feels that she has not escaped her fate, such as recovering her memory and her children.
He wanted her to drive, especially now that she was pregnant with a child, and he didn't want her to be exposed to any danger.
The call still couldn't be connected. Ji Huai frowned and tightened his jaw, then dialed another number and then provided Shi Yun's license plate number.
Soon, the other end said: "We just got on Anguo Avenue, nothing seems unusual, the speed is very stable."
Ji Huai turned around and kept dialing Shi Yun's number.
at the same time.
Shi Yun looked forward, slowed down the car a little, put on Bluetooth headphones on her ears, and said in a calm voice: "You don't need to pay for the medical expenses, I will pay them. As I just said, let the doctor do his best. Save people.”
"Are you still blaming me?" Duan Jingyan didn't want to hold back anymore and lost control of his emotions, "Don't I want to live an ordinary life? Do I want to face Meng Shiqing's stinky face? Do I want to get used to her princess disease? Why? Don’t you understand me? You have to do this.”
"This is your own choice and has nothing to do with me. I'm driving. If you have anything to do, wait until I go to the hospital." Shi Yun's eyes were calm.
Duan Jingyan had lost his mind and couldn't get any understanding, so he vented wantonly: "Aren't you the same as me? If you go to cling to Ji Huai, I tell you, it won't end well. When he gets tired of playing with you, you will …”
Shi Yun immediately turned off the phone, took off her earphones and threw them aside.
Aunt Li from the orphanage suffered a heart attack and was being rescued in the hospital. Her condition was very bad. When the other party saw Duan Jingyan, she kept chanting her name. He said that he was holding on because he wanted to see her, so she rushed over in a hurry.
When the dean's mother couldn't hold on anymore, Aunt Li protected them for a long time. When she was in high school and college, Aunt Li also sent her living expenses. Just like her mother, she was one of the few warmths.
She made money and always sent it back to Aunt Li to help those orphans who were not able to rely on themselves.
The cell phone rang again. Shi Yun wanted to concentrate on driving, so she didn't answer it. The call only rang once and then hung up. Ji Huai was already following her. Afraid of disturbing her concentration, Ji Huai hung up the phone and planned to let her park on the side of the road after passing this section of the road.
Suddenly, he saw the large truck in front of him, and a scene flashed through his mind so fast that he couldn't catch it. The next second, his expression suddenly changed. He took his mobile phone to call Shi Yun, but found that Something was wrong with that car she was driving.
A chill surged up from the soles of Ji Huai's feet, and he accelerated the car without hesitation.
Shi Yun hadn't had a headache for a long time, and she didn't know what was going on. Suddenly, there was another pain. Not only was it painful, but her temples were "thumping", and pictures were rushing around in her mind, causing her vision to blur.
For the sake of safety, she immediately slowed down the car and prepared to stop, but her thoughts didn't follow her and she had a splitting headache. She didn't know if it was stimulated by Duan Jingyan's words, but it hurt like a hammer.
The sound of horns kept coming from behind, urging her.
"parking!"
Ji Huai's voice seemed to ring in her ears.
right.
parking.
She thought so too.
"boom!"
"Bang!"
"Bah...boom..."
…
Shi Yun looked at the person in the car window in front of her. That face woke her up and made her slam on the brakes. She was too close and still hit him. Her face suddenly turned pale, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Two large trucks collided in front of her. The speed was too fast. One truck was knocked over, and the nearby cars were knocked away. The truck fell towards her, and the black car turned a corner and blocked her. In front of her, a large truck pinned half of the truck down, and she was attacked from both sides.
Shi Yun felt cold all over, tears streaming down her face, her ears buzzing, and her mind went blank.
In the ambulance.
Ji Huai held Shi Yun in his arms. She was lost in thought, her whole body was weak, her eyes were red and she was gulping: "There is blood all over the ground. Are several people dead?"
"No." He denied, lowering his head and kissing her. There was still fear in his words as he denied, "No one died. The doctor has sent them to the hospital."
He knew that truck. When she was in a car accident, seven people died on the spot. The driver was drunk and driving, and he had some connections with the other party and planned to default on the bill. In the end, he was sentenced to death and lost all his money.
This time, he didn't think much and just turned and blocked her. Her speed was slow, so even if she hit her, it wouldn't be a big deal. The other side of the car was crushed, and he only injured his right arm, which was not a serious skin injury.
Shi Yun was still crying, her weak shoulders were shaking, and her face suddenly wrinkled again: "It hurts."
"Where does it hurt?" Ji Huai asked urgently, going to check it out. He seemed to have thought of something, and he looked at her belly at a loss. His whole body was stunned again, his movements holding her stiffened, and the panic in his eyes was no less than hers.
