After Ji Yuzhi left, Liu Ye seemed to take on his responsibilities, spoiling Zhen Tian in his place.

Lu Ti was certainly worried and heartbroken for her only daughter.

But the current situation doesn't seem like the time to indulge them.

Pregnant women in their later stages of pregnancy are most afraid of emotional excitement.

Zhen Tian doesn't control herself at all.

She sat there fuming, crying and wailing, and wouldn't listen to any attempts to persuade her.

Ye Qingyan was also stunned to see Zhen Tian lose her temper like this for the first time. Although she was surprised, she felt even more sorry for her friend who was crying uncontrollably for Ji Yuzhi.

The two mothers couldn't persuade them no matter what they did, and they were powerless to help since Ye Qingyan wasn't around.

She suddenly remembered Zhen Tian's brothers.

Ye Qingyan hung up the phone when no one was paying attention, and then called Yuan Yuan to ask her to pass on the message to Lu Lin.

After learning about it, Lu Lin called each of the men in her family one by one.

Zhen Tian was distracted by the phone calls from Ji Yuzhi's brothers and uncles, who took turns scolding him. Although she vented her anger, it eventually turned into a debate between her and her brothers and uncles.

"Don't cry, baby. Ji Yuzhi is a real scoundrel. When he comes back, your brother will be the first to punish him."

"Okay, sure."

"You know, he just abandoned you like that. What kind of man is he? He abandoned his wife and children. No matter how big the problem is, he shouldn't have done that."

"that is."

“Don’t cry, I’ll call Ji Yuzhi right now and give him a piece of my mind. What’s so great about his job that he’d abandon his pregnant wife?”

"Still remarkable."

"So what if he's a nobody? He's just a lowly, insignificant official."

"That's no lowly official position; he's the youngest official in history to hold the title of 'Outer 3,000'."

"And what do those people have to do with him? He went there all the time. If he gets infected, wouldn't his family be worried? Do you think those people would care about him? Who knows who he is?"

"That's not quite right. I just wanted to help everyone."

"Help me my ass, I think he just wants to avoid you because you're pregnant."

"No, that's not it. He's just doing this for everyone's benefit; he's going to do something important."

"What's the important business here?"

"He cares about the people; he's a good official. He should be like that!"

The above is just one part of the debate between Zhen Tian and her brothers and uncles.

Finally, Lu Kai suddenly smiled.

The girl, her face streaked with tears but her expression already showing resentment, glared at her third uncle in the video.

What are you laughing at?!

"You understand everything, don't you? You're so insightful." Lu Kai wanted to pat Zhen Tian's hair, but he couldn't do it through the screen. "Don't be sad. Your uncles and brothers know you're worried about him. But like you said, those in positions of power must do their jobs. It's enough that you know he cares about you too."

“Uncle, you weren’t saying that just now.” Zhen Tian lowered her head and pouted.

"If I hadn't gone along with you, you would have thrown a huge tantrum," Zhen Yan teased.

"snort."

"And you heartless little thing, Ji Yuzhi just went to inspect the place and said some nice things, and you're worried like this. Why don't you think about your older brother, your doctor who's on the front lines serving patients?" Lu Xian shook his head with a smile.

“That’s right.” Lu Yinuo tapped the screen: “And your third brother, who is in charge of this virus research at the research institute. Your brother Jin is armed and ready to be dispatched at any time.”

"Why didn't you shed a single tear when you were the one who should be most worried?"

"How could I not have?" Zhen Tian was embarrassed by what she was being said and muttered with her head down, "I just dropped it and you didn't see it."

"You," Lu Lin nudged the screen remotely, "you can't worry about anyone right now, you should worry about yourself. Your child is so old and you still dare to cry like a cat."

"You're the one with the calico cat."

“I am, so don’t cry.” Lu Lin has always been the most shameless person in the family.

"Tch, I wasn't crying." Zhen Tian wiped away her tears: "I don't want to talk to you anymore, I'm hanging up."

After saying that, she hung up the phone in a huff.

The advice from her brothers and uncles had an effect. Although Zhen Tian was still worried, she wouldn't make a scene like before.

She stood by the window, gazing intently at the snow-covered landscape outside.

Her two mothers called her to eat, and she obediently went to eat.

Although I'm not in the best condition, it's still much better than before.

Life goes on.

Normally, Zhen Tian should have gone to the hospital to prepare for childbirth, but at this point in time, the hospital is actually the most unsafe place.

Although there aren't many infections in S City, hospitals are sensitive places that are different from other places.

Therefore, the family unanimously decided to let Zhen Tian stay at home to prepare for childbirth.

However, the downside of staying at home to give birth is that family members must remain vigilant 24 hours a day and pay attention to whether Zhen Tian is feeling unwell.

The items in the hospital bag were also prepared in advance, so I can just take them with me when I go to the hospital.

The two fathers were also present, ready to act at any time.

Zhen Tian couldn't help but laugh whenever she saw her family's serious expressions.

The whole family was waiting for Ji Yuzhi to return, but as the days went by, he still didn't come back.

...

After another busy day, Ji Yuzhi's stiff neck was crooked, and his whole body ached.

He returned to his hotel room and disinfected all his clothes with alcohol. Although he had already gone through a disinfection checkpoint outside, he still disinfected them again for peace of mind.

After spraying, he threw the clothes he had changed into the washing machine, soaked them in a high-concentration disinfectant solution, and then dried them in the washing machine.

He sprayed the exposed skin with disinfectant, rubbed it in repeatedly, and then sprinkled disinfectant throughout the room. Finally, he opened the windows to ventilate the room.

Only after completing this series of actions did he go to the bathroom to take a shower.

This is the last stop. In just one more day, he can complete his quarantine and go back to be with Tian Tian.

After taking a shower, without even drying his hair, he picked up his phone from the bedside table.

First, he opened many short videos that his mother had sent him and flipped through them over and over again.

The girl inside isn't a girl anymore.

Every frame of the woman he loved most, whether she was smiling, being silly, or being quiet, stirred his emotions.

After looking at it for a while, he finally opened the calendar on his phone.

Sweetie's due date is only 20 days away.

He can get back in time.

With that in mind, he made a phone call back.

"Brother, it's me."

The phone call lasted two hours, starting with contacting Lu Kai and ending with the appearance of the entire Zhen family.

It's all because of that troublesome girl at home.

Although he was away, he kept in touch with his family to ensure Zhen Tian's safe delivery.

He meticulously oversaw every step.

"What is she doing?" Ji Yuzhi suddenly asked.

“Watching TV. Eating snacks,” Ji Quanzhou replied.

"Um."

He smiled slightly. Ever since he left, this girl hasn't answered his calls or replied to his messages.

Sometimes he could even see the typing prompt on the other end...
