In his eyes was an imperceptible pain. He gazed deeply at her and said, "Fool, don't ever say things like that again. You're the most competent mother I've ever seen. You talk to the baby every day, you read nutrition books every day, and you stayed in the hospital for so many days for the baby... you've already given so much for him..."
"These things are just what I should have done. It's all my fault, my health has always been poor."
"It's not your fault." Nangong Yaoling gently stroked her hair. "Xiaonuan, promise me, be brave, even if it's for me, understand?"
Xia Xiaonuan clenched her teeth, broke free from his embrace, looked into his eyes, and nodded firmly.
But after nodding, tears poured out of her eyes again. She touched her belly with her hand, suddenly gasped heavily, and started coughing violently.
Nangong Yaoling's expression changed, and he quickly reached out to pat her back.
"Xiaonuan...are you okay? Xiaonuan..."
