nA soft smile tugged at the corners of her lips and she pulled the sheets over her head coly. She knew she looked like a total mess but knowing Lei Zhao, he probably didn’t care about how she looked.

nLei Zhao hadn’t read a single word, for the past one hour he had been staring at her sleep. She was beautiful lying there. He felt satisfied to see her relaxed and not suffering from any pain. She was snoring as she slept, he couldn’t wait to teased her about it.

nHe stood up from his chair and walked towards her. He placed a kissed on the sheet covering her forehead. He pulled down her sheets to reveal sleepy eyes.

n”How are you feeling?”

nYan Mei smiled softly, “I’m good.”

nLei Zhao nodded; climbed into the bed and put his arms around her. Yan Mei felt safe in his arms.

nThey stayed in each other’s arms enjoying the feeling of being closed until Yan Mei’s stomach rumbled.

nLei Zhao chuckled, “are you hungry?”

nYan Mei blushed and nodded.

nLei Zhao ruffled her hair and got up from the bed.

n”I will go prepare you breakfast.”

n”Okay.”

nA few minutes after Lei Zhao left, a sharp pain hit Yan Mei in her stomach. Yan Mei pulled the blankets around her tightly, trying to warm up, while every muscle in her body was protesting with every movement.

nShe pulled her knee up closer to her chin and started rocking her body slightly. The pain in her stomach was unbearable.

nYan Mei closed her eyes and concentrated on feeling better. She hated this time of the month it made her feel vulnerable and she didn’t like feeling that way.

nThe pain in her stomach worsened.

n”Oh.” She moaned weakly. Clutching her stomach. She jumped out of the bed and dashed into the bathroom, reaching the toilet just in time. When she finished, she sat weakly on the cold floor, unable to stand up.

nLei Zhao came in twenty minutes later holding a tray containing breakfast. His narrowed his eyes when he didn’t see Yan Mei.

n”Wifey?” he called out but no one answered.

nHe placed the tray on a table and walked towards the bathroom, when he reached there, he saw the door was opened with a shaking Yan Mei sitting on the floor.

n”Wifey!” he squealed as he hurriedly scooped her in his arms carrying her bridal style. He gently placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

nLei Zhao brows snapped together as he stared at her pale face. He knew it was normal to have pains during this time of the month for a woman but his wife’s condition seemed to be worse.

nRaking his fingers through his hair, he picked his phone and dialed a number while keeping his eyes on Yan Mei who was moaning in pain.

n”Hello?” A hoarse voice sounded on the other side of the phone.

nHeaving a sigh of relief, “Grandpa Jun, it’s Lei Zhao. Please are you available?” Lei Zhao said politely.

nGrandpa Jun was the famous Chinese medicine practitioner in city S. He was really lowkey and rarely appeared in the public’s eyes. Fortunately, he was a family friend and one of Lei Zhao’s best friends, Jun Mo’s grandfather

n”Oh it’s Little Zhao, what can grandpa do for you?” The old man asked.

n”My wife is not feeling well, please can you come and take a look at her?” Lei Zhao queried anxiously.

n”Alright send me an address. I will be there in half an hour.”

n”Okay, thank you.” Lei Zhao said hanging up the call.

nLei Zhao climbed in the bed, pulled her blanket up and took a pillow and put it on his laps.

n”Come here.” He said.

nYan Mei laid her head down on his laps, and he covered her with the blanket.

n”Do you want to eat?” Yan Mei shook her head weakly.

nLei Zhao nodded in understanding and rubbed her arms.

n”Just relax, I have called someone to check on you.” He said rubbing her stomach.

nYan Mei started having trouble keeping her eyes opened, soon she fell asleep.

nLei Zhao picked her up and cradled her in his arms while she slept.

n- FORTY-FIVE MINUTES LATER-

nGrandpa Jun hunched his brows examining Yan Mei. Heaving a sigh, he beckoned at Lei Zhao to follow him in order not to wake Yan Mei up.

n”Grandpa, what’s wrong with her?” Lei Zhao asked worriedly.

n”Did your wife have an accident or miscarriage?” Grandpa Jun asked after a few seconds of silent.

nLei Zhao froze and nodded, “Yes, she did.”

nStroking his beard, he fell into a deep thought.

n”I’m sorry Little Zhao, but it would be difficult for your wife to get pregnant.”

nLei Zhao felt a heavy feeling in his stomach.

n”Even if she did, her body can’t take the stress. Her body had suffered too much from the accident.”

nLei Zhao swallowed the lump in his throat.

n”Is there something you can do?”

nGrandpa Jun smiled,” of course, I’m not given the god doctor without a reason.”

nLei Zhao heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

n”Tell me, where did you find that girl? She is definitely not an ordinary person.”

nGrandpa Jun asked with his voice laced with curiosity. He has never met anybody with such a special body constitution like her.

nLei Zhao rubbed the nape of his neck, “She is from the Yan family.”

nGrandpa Jun raised his brows but just nodded.

n”I will send you some medicine. Make sure she drinks it every morning. I will come back three months later to check on her.”

n”Thank you. What about her stomach pain?” Lei Zhao asked.

n”Don’t worry. She would be fine once she wakes up. Like I said your wife is really special.”

nGrandpa Jun said patting Lei Zhao on the shoulder.

nAfter Lei Zhao sent him out, he came back to the bedroom and saw Yan Mei still sleeping.

nHe sat beside her and held her hand falling into a deep thought.
