178 Completely Fallen for Her 6 (1/2)

Mo Li had been abiding the doctor's instructions ever since the day of her consultation. Though she was aware that there was still a long way to go before she could nurse her health into a state which was ideal for pregnancy, she was determined not to give up.

She ought to buck up and work hard to bear Byron some children, in order to repay her gratitude towards him for choosing to marry her despite her unglamorous past. She was completely unaware that Ye Xiaotian would be stepping foot into Y Nation again. She had no clue what was going to happen next.

Mo Li rarely got the chance to spend time with Byron, due to the fact that he was rather busy every day, though she did not know in detail just what he was busy with. However, she understood that he had to oversee many matters in the office himself in order to ensure that his company was running well.

She could not afford to waste her days idling about either, and thus, she had been picking up several skills in her free time. Besides, she had to spend most of her time lying down in bed, now that she had just undergone a fallopian tube recanalization surgery.

”Lili, I've made you some soup, come drink it while it's still warm. I've simmered it for a long period of time so that the broth would be thicker,” said Mrs. Mo as she handed Mo Li a bowl of soup.

”It smells delicious. Thank you, Mother,” said Mo Li as she took the bowl of soup over and began drinking it slowly, sip by sip.

”It's almost nine o'clock in the evening, why hasn't Byron returned home?” Mrs. Mo asked all of a sudden.

”He's busy, and there's nothing much I can help him with either. He should be back soon.”

”Okay, remember to take good care of yourself. Things are going to get better once you're pregnant. Given the fact that they're royalty, they'll definitely need a successor. Thus, you have to bear him a child. Byron is not getting any younger either, it's a great time to have a child now. Mo Li, you have to try and stay happy every day. Your father, Mo Xun, and I are all here to accompany you. Feel free to tell me about your innermost thoughts. Don't bottle everything up.”

Mo Li took her time to finish the soup before saying, ”I know, Mother. Here, take the bowl.”

”I'm going to bed, you should rest early too. Don't stay up late to wait for Byron.”

”Alright.”

Although Mo Li had agreed, she did not abide by her mother's instruction. She was a little fatigued but not sleepy just yet.

After a relaxing foot bath, she laid onto the bed and began reading her book. Time flew by, and soon, it was 10 o'clock in the evening, yet Byron had still not returned.

Mo Li then decided to give him a call, only to find that it was his assistant, Lance, who had picked up.

”Where's Byron?”

”Um… His Highness is still in the midst of entertaining his clients. I reckon he still has another hour to go. Your Highness, His Highness has asked for you to go to bed first. You don't have to wait for him, he'll be home once he's finished entertaining.”

”Alright, please tell him I'm going to bed now.” Mo Li ended the call and began to feel worried for Byron, knowing that he would definitely have to drink a ton of alcohol, which would surely cause him discomfort in his stomach.

She lifted the duvet, got out of bed, and headed to the kitchen to brew him some broth to aid him in dissipating the effects of alcohol. She then proceeded to place it in a thermal flask, so as to keep it warm until he returns home.

After placing the flask onto the dining table along with a spoon, she turned around to head back inside her room. At this very moment, the lights went off all of a sudden, without warning.

Shocked and frightened, she hurried to the entrance in the darkness and yelled, ”Somebody, come here!”

The bodyguard hurriedly ran towards her and asked, ”Your Highness, what's the matter?”

”Why are the lights off?”

”I'm afraid there's a power trip. Please hold on, Your Highness.” The bodyguard then instructed for the power source to be checked, only to realize that it was indeed a power trip. Mo Li heaved a huge sigh of relief upon seeing that the lights had been switched on again.

She then turned the lights off and returned to her bedroom.

She laid onto the bed after removing her clothes and soon fell asleep.

At this juncture, a figure emerged from the darkness and entered the room before locking the door from the inside. He then removed his clothes slowly and laid onto the bed as well.

Having felt the presence of someone laying down beside her, Mo Li said, while still being half-asleep, ”You're back? I've made you some broth and left it on the dining table.”
