313 Reunion 8 (1/2)
Mei Yangyang chuckled and said, ”Sis, I didn't get to attend your wedding previously. When you get married to Mr. Jin again, I must be there to witness your big day and the most beautiful side of you.”
”You'll be my only bridesmaid. It's settled then,” said An Xiaoning.
Mei Yangyang's phone rang all of a sudden. She took a look at the caller display to see that it was from Long Tianze and shushed An Xiaoning before answering the call, ”Tianze.”'
”…”
”I just touched down a while ago.”
”…”
”Yes, my mother has settled down.”
”…”
”Alright, mwah. I'm hanging up.”
Mei Yangyang ended the call and said to An Xiaoning, ”I told Tianze that I sent my mother abroad for medical treatment. That's the only excuse I can fool him with. Hope he doesn't kill me when he finds out the truth.”
An Xiaoning guffawed and answered, ”He won't kill you, don't worry.”
The doctor entered with a nurse and a syringe containing a tocolytic drug.
”Ms. An, you will be administered a single dose of a tocolytic agent daily until you reach the full term of your pregnancy. I will continue to increase the dosage depending on your condition.”
”Alright, Doctor. I'll do as you say.”

”Young Sir, we've got news.”
Ye Xiaotian looked up and said, ”Shoot.”
”After tailing Ms. Mo's family continuously, we've discovered that Ms. Mo's brother has been going to the countryside rather frequently. He goes there almost every other day. We also found that he would often bring a few buckets of water back home in the countryside before leaving. We've never seen anyone else come out of the house. After we asked about, the villagers told us that a pregnant woman was residing in that house.”
Ripples formed in Ye Xiaotian's heart upon hearing the piece of news. ”A pregnant woman?” he asked with a frown.
It can't be Mo Li…
She clearly wasn't resuscitated back then.
Impossible!
”Yes, it might be the girlfriend of Ms. Mo's brother.”
”Knock on the door and verify who it is. Go now, at once,” Ye Xiaotian instructed.
”Yes.”
Ye Xiaotian was filled with a sudden nervousness as he sat on the couch.
He hoped greatly for a miracle to happen.
At the same time, Mo Li heard a knock on her door. ”Who's there?” she asked while walking towards the door.
”Your neighbor next door.”
Mo Li opened the door to see that it was a woman who was pregnant, just like herself. ”Please come in,” Mo Li welcomed her with a smile.
”I noticed that you've moved in for quite some time now, but I've never seen you coming out of the house before. I was almost bored to death at home so I decided to pay you a visit,” said the female neighbor, Xiao Song, who slowly walked inside Mo Li's house.
”I don't know anyone here so there's no one I can look for. Have a seat.”
”Your house is so warm,” said Xiao Song as she sat beside the fireplace to warm her hands.
”I've been burning firewood all day. Otherwise, I really can't tolerate the freezing temperature.”
”Indeed. What's your name?”
”My name is Mo Li, what about you?”
”You may call me Xiao Song. Since we're neighbors, feel free to come to me if you need anything. I will help you with whatever I can. Don't stand on ceremony with me.”
Mo Li nodded and asked, ”Sure. How far along are you?”
”Five months. How about you?”
”Seven.”
