“My Tianxin, we’re already married. For better or for worse, in sickness and in health, we have promised to go through it all together, for the rest of our lives… ”

The lighter and softer Li Qingcang’s voice got, the harder Ye Tianxin cried.

The panic and restlessness in her heart rose like a tornado. It appeared to have drowned her entire self.

Ye Tianxin hugged her chest as she grew more uneasy.

She felt so alone, struggling by herself in the sea of endless pain.

She did not dare to say anything.

She did not know how to tell Li Qingcang what she was afraid of.

She could not help but think of the worst.

She could not but wonder what would happen if Jin could not come into this world.

What should she do?

Right from the beginning, when she was sure that Jin was Li Qingcang’s child, she was looking forward to his arrival.

She was not too upset about it because she knew that mother and son would be reunited very soon. She and Jin would be together again.

Now…

What if Jin…

No, it would not happen. It sure would not happen.

Jin would surely come into this world.

She would be with Jin again. He would surely be by her side.

Nothing would happen to her precious Jin.

She would be brave as his mother.

Ye Tianxin wanted to be a brave mother for him.

How could she be weak and vulnerable now?

How could she be so weak that she could not protect her son?

She was just bleeding a little. What was there to be afraid of?

It was common for most women to show signs of bleeding during the early stages of their pregnancy.

She just had to follow the doctor’s advice. Simply rest well and wait for the baby to be born.

At that moment, Ye Tianxin seemed to have come alive again. She was full of hope once more.

She sat up from Li Qingcang’s embrace and hugged him tightly. “Sorry, you must’ve been worried about my crying.”

Li Qingcang brushed Ye Tianxin’s hair away from her forehead. he lowered his head to kiss her.

“Tianxin, Dr. Hua said that you cannot afford to get too emotional.”

Ye Tianxin nodded her head obediently, like a child who had done something wrong.

“I know. From now on, I won’t worry about that kind of thing anymore.”

Ye Tianxin took a deep breath, as though she was exhaling all the bad feelings from her body.

“Do you want to rest now?”

Ye Tianxin nodded. “I do, but I want to hear some sort of soothing sound now.”

“All right, wait a moment.”

Li Qingcang went to the other end of the bed and turned on a switch. Light music sounded across the room, accompanied by a girl’s voice. It was clear and soft.

As Ye Tianxin closed her eyes, she slowed down her thoughts.

The music eased away all her tension and fear.

Ye Tianxin’s face gradually softened as she relaxed her entire body.

When Li Qingcang turned around and saw Ye Tianxin smile, he looked relieved. His eyes were full of affection and love for her.

Suddenly, a fire was starting to rise in her abdomen.

It was burning gradually like a ball of fire before engulfing Ye Tianxin and burned her into ashes.

“It’s so hot..”

Ye Tianxin reached out and tugged at her collar.

She had unconsciously exposed a part of her delicate and fair skin.

Li Qingcang quickly stretched out his hand to pull up Ye Tianxin’s clothes.

Just as he pulled up her collar, she started to pull it down again.

Li Qingcang was kept awake the whole night.
