A few days after returning to the city, Pei Ziheng kept his promise and took Xia Ling to the hospital for a pregnancy test.

In the examination room, the doctor smiled and said to them, “Congratulations to the both of you, it is a boy.”

Xia Wei looked at the little guy curled up on the instrument screen, and her face had on a peaceful smile—he was so cute. After thanking the doctor, she walked out while holding Pei Ziheng’s hand and walked along the corridor. She raised her face and asked him, “The last time you haven’t told me, what is the name of the boy?”

Pei Ziheng’s expression was a bit pale. “What do you want to call it?”

Xia Ling reached out and gently stroked her lower abdomen. She smiled and said, “I haven’t thought about it yet. I hope that he will be healthy and handsome in the future. I hope his family is harmonious and he will have a successful career. Am I being too greedy?”

Pei Ziheng said, “You can call him anything you want.”

Xia Ling leaned into his arms and said, “Ziheng, thank you for making me have him. I used to think that the best way was to knock him off, but when I just saw his appearance on the screen, I really thanked G.o.d for giving me such a cute baby.”

Pei Ziheng nodded elegantly and warmly and looked up at the window.

Outside the window, the winter was still gone, and a cl.u.s.ter of plum blossoms was in full swing.

He suddenly said to Xia Ling, “Should I take a wintersweet for you? To celebrate.”

She looked at him with an affectionate smile. “Why, is it necessary to celebrate when it’s a son?”

Pei Ziheng said, “I like it whether it’s a girl or a boy. This is to celebrate that you are going to be a mother.”

Xia Ling laughed again. “Really?”

She pointed out the window and said, “Then I want that one, the biggest and most red.”

Outside the window, a flame-like scented plum was just in bloom, and the branches were covered with a little snow, which made it look even more moving. Pei Ziheng helped her to sit down on the wooden bench at the side of the corridor, then he walked through the corridor to the garden behind the medical building.

Xia Ling looked at his figure disappear into the forest through the gla.s.s. She thought,

G.o.d is really generous to her. Although there were rough times, my beloved man is with me and our baby.

She bowed her head and habitually stroked her lower abdomen and said to herself, “Baby, you must be healthy. Your father and mother are looking forward to your arrival…”

She sat in the hallway with a quiet smile. Suddenly, she saw the attending doctor rush over hurriedly and said to her, “Miss Xia, you have a check indicator that is not very good, you need a shot.”

Xia Ling was worried and asked, “What indicators?”

The attending doctor said, “Your progesterone is not stable, but it is not a big deal. You can rest a.s.sured. Just take a shot with us and go home and have a good rest.”

Xia Ling followed him to the injection room.

She suddenly felt uncomfortable on the way, so she said to the attending doctor, “I want to go to the bathroom, I will come back soon.” The attending doctor seemed to be somewhat reluctant, but still let her go.

She was not hospitalized this time, so she entered the common restroom in the hospital. When she entered the cubicle and locked the door, she heard footsteps outside. It seemed to be two little nurses. One of them said, “Why are they giving medicine to Xia Ling again? Wasn’t her fetus fine? Director w.a.n.g even said it was very healthy.”

Another little nurse lowered her voice. “Be quiet, Xia Ling is now in the injection room. What do you think that needle is? It’s the anesthetic needle that Mr. Pei ordered. Once it’s administered, she’ll move to the surgery room!”

The little nurse was shocked. “What surgery?”

“You are stupid. Of course, an abortion surgery,” said the other little nurse.

Xia Ling stood in the cubicle and even her breathing stagnated. She couldn’t believe her ears. What? Pei Ziheng actually wanted to give her an abortion surgery?! Her face turned white, and even her body trembled. She controlled herself and was careful not to be heard by the two little nurses outside.

She heard the two little nurses continue to talk, and one asked, “Why? Mr. Pei wanted this child before, didn’t he try all measures to keep it?”

The other said, “Who knows about the rich people? It’s just being really hard on Xia Ling. When she was pregnant for nine weeks, she wanted to get rid of it. At that time, the damage was so small, it would have been ok to do a suction surgery. But now? The formed fetus must be crushed and clipped out, and it might not be done as cleanly. It is much more sinful.”

The first little nurse asked with concern, “I heard Director w.a.n.g’s tone just now, this operation seems to be unbeknownst to Xia Ling herself. She first scammed her to take an anesthetic, then when she faints she won’t know anything. By the time she wakes up, the surgery will be over. And even if she cries and complains, it will be too late. But… if that’s the case, isn’t our hospital violating the will of the patient? It could become a lawsuit.”

“Are you afraid of taking responsibility?” The little nurse snorted. “Don’t worry, if the sky falls the tall man will support it. Mr. Pei is so rich and powerful. How could he let Xia Ling file a lawsuit? Then again, I heard the old man from the Pei family has always disliked her. At that time, Mr. Pei can just casually find an excuse to push things to him, she can make trouble as much as she wants to, and the world would soon be peaceful.”

Xia Ling listened and her heart grew colder, she hadn’t expected that man’s mind was so vicious that he would murder her child quietly. Besides that, he even put on a false and gentle face in front of her, so that even if the child was gone, she couldn’t put the blame on him, and might even be grateful for his gentle comfort.

What kind of animal was he?

She couldn’t think too much. At this time, Xia Ling had only one thought in her heart—

To protect this child.

Peng.

She pushed the door open and didn’t care about the two nurses’ panicked expression. She ran away quickly, and she didn’t know who she hit along the way, but she heard someone yelling at the back, “Miss Xia, are you not going to get an injection? Come back, don’t fall, beware of the child in your stomach!”

She did not dare to listen to their false care, knowing that as soon as she stopped, she would be anesthetized. Then, everything would be finished. She ran to the exit of the corridor in one go. In the hall on the first floor, people came and went. Someone soon saw her and screamed, “Look! That’s Xia Ling!”

This was the inconvenience of being a star, everyone would notice her wherever they went.

Xia Ling was pale and ran left and right in the crowd, but she was quickly surrounded by excited people. “Don’t squeeze! Don’t squeeze!” She was afraid and lowered both hands to guard her lower abdomen. She retreated to the wall not far away, leaned against the wall and tried to curl her body up. “I am pregnant, I am pregnant.”
