687 The Countdown of Yan and An 1 (1/2)

Tears welled up inside of Tang Mo'er's eyes, she bit down on her lower lip and tried to suppress her tears. They had to stay strong and brave through these difficult times.

Tang Mo'er lifted her hand, knocking on the door after calming herself down. \”An'an, it's me.\”

A tender voice responded, \”Little sister-in-law, come in.\”

Tang Mo'er entered the ward. \”An'an, I've brought you some chicken soup that I've made, have some while it's still warm.\”

An'an returned to her bed and said, \”Little sister-in-law, just leave it there. I'll have some when I'm hungry.\”

An'an had been obedient for the past few months, she heeded the doctor's advice and had her medicines and injections on time, though she would always vomit everything out after eating.

\”Little sister-in-law,\” An'an held onto Tang Mo'er's hand, \”Can you let me listen to the sounds that the baby makes?\”

\”Of course.\”

An'an crouched over, leaning closer to Tang Mo'er's baby bump and she placed her ear on it. The baby moved a little.

\”Oh my, little sister-in-law, the baby is greeting me.\” An'an's eyes were sparkling and she smiled brightly. She was genuinely happy.

Tang Mo'er patted An'an's head gently, she nodded her head in agreement. \”Mm, the baby loves you and can't wait to hurry up and meet you soon!\”

An'an's eyes crinkled into a sweet smile. \”I'll make sure to wait for the baby's arrival!\”

An'an then hugged Tang Mo'er and shut her eyes. Her little sister-in-law's body smelled so good and it was so soft and warm. She smelled like a mother, and An'an loved it.

Tang Mo'er's eyes turned red and watery again, and she couldn't help but hugged An'an back. \”An'an, do you wish to meet… Master Yan?\”

An'an's eyelashes fluttered, she froze for a few seconds before burying her face on Tang Mo'er's baby bump. Tears trickled down her cheeks.

They hadn't seen each other in a very long time.

Or perhaps, they wouldn't be able to meet each other again.

She was withering away in the hospital, she knew that her time was almost up. It was becoming harder for her to fall asleep at night, she didn't dare. As she forced her eyes wide open, she waited for the daylight to arrive. Loneliness and the feeling of missing someone had overcome her, but she couldn't do anything about it, she felt so helpless.

…

Tang Mo'er stepped out of the hospital ward, she slumped against the bench and covered her mouth. It was really disheartening witnessing An'an in such a state.

She then heard a string of heavy footsteps, someone had arrived.

Tang Mo'er lifted her eyes to look, it was Gu Mohan. He sported his usual look, white shirt with black trousers. A few doctors were following behind him.

Tang Mo'er sniffled, she quickly wiped away the tears on her face.

Gu Mohan had given some orders and the doctors turned around to leave.

Along the corridor, he just looked at her without saying a word. She was already seven months pregnant and her baby bump was huge, though her limbs were still skinny. Her skin was still smooth and supple, he noticed the tears on her face. She just looked at him with her lustrous eyes, his heart pulsed.

As he stretched his legs, he walked over and reached out to wipe away the tears on her face with his calloused fingertips. \”Why did you cry?\”

She was pregnant with his child and still remaining by his side even in An'an's most difficult times. Gu Mohan's voice was husky and somewhat tender, he couldn't hide his affection for her.

Tang Mo'er turned her face, refusing his touch.

His hand was suspended in mid-air. Ever since they'd returned from Miaojiang, their relationship was only going downhill.
