On a snowy night when she was eighteen, the grand gate opened before her. An aged voice rang out above her: "From now on, he is your uncle." A noble and benevolent man then knelt before her...
Chapter 56 Happiness
After Shen Sangsang woke up, she sat on the bed in a daze.
The reason she was in a daze was naturally that she was still thinking about what happened yesterday.
She was very clear that this matter was full of doubts. Shen Zhou's death was like a pool of muddy water. She would not believe anyone's words.
And who is Chen Yuehuai?
Perhaps what she can hear is what he hopes she can hear?
Shen Sangsang looked towards the window.
She knew that Shen Yuehuai must be responsible for Chen Zhou's death.
Her hands fell on her knees and clenched little by little.
Just as she was staring blankly ahead, the door opened.
She turned her face and looked towards the door.
The maid was standing at the door. When she saw that she had woken up, she hurried in. However, when she reached her bedside, the maid stopped immediately.
Shen Sangsang saw fear in her eyes, the fear of looking at a madman.
She knew very well what image she had in the eyes of these people.
However, she didn't care, so after seeing the fear in the servant's eyes, she withdrew her gaze and continued to look out the window.
The maid stood by the bed and thought for a few seconds. In the end, her duty overcame her fear, and she spoke cautiously, "Madam, you're awake."
Shen Sangsang didn’t respond to her at all.
Seeing her sitting there without responding to her voice, the servant swallowed and after a while, he whispered, "Madam, are you feeling okay now? Breakfast is ready, please have some."
The room was so quiet that the servants' voices echoed.
This empty echo inexplicably reminded Shen Sangsang of a scene from a palace drama. At this moment, she looked like a madman in the cold palace.
But is she considered a lunatic in the cold palace?
Obviously she wasn't, because the next second, Shen Yuehuai came in.
The first thing he did when he got to the room was to quickly come to her side, put his hand on her head, and looked at her with endless worry: "Are you feeling better?"
Shen Sangsang stared at the worry in his eyes, and she wondered in her heart whether he was really worried about her or just pretending.
What kind of role has she played in his side over the years?
She calculated, thought and considered in her mind.
Seeing that she had been staring at others without moving, Shen Yuehuai thought that she had been ill yesterday and had not recovered until today. A trace of worry crossed his brows. He removed his hand from her head and placed his fingers on her cheek: "Sangsang, what's wrong? Why aren't you talking?"
She shook her head to indicate that it was nothing.
Shen Yuehuai sighed softly, his hand falling on her brow: "You really scared me yesterday." He frowned: "Cooperate with the doctor, we will slowly recuperate, okay?"
His tone was like he was talking to a child.
Shen Sangsang lowered her eyes, looking haggard.
Shen Yuehuai looked at her like this, his brows furrowed never relaxing.
At this time, he added: "We may have to go to the hospital for a check-up today."
When Shen Sangsang heard the word "inspection", her expression froze.
Seeing how nervous she was, he tried to comfort her: "You're not going to the psychiatric department, you're going to the hospital for a prenatal checkup."
After hearing his words, Shen Sangsang's tense body gradually relaxed.
Shen Yuehuai was afraid that she was still not feeling well today, so he asked, "Are you in good health enough to go out today? If not, you can have a prenatal checkup another day."
He said this and let her make her choice.
But she thought about it seriously and nodded, indicating that she could go to the hospital and that she was fine.
When Shen Yuehuai saw her answer, he followed her: "Okay, then let's go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up first."
…
After ten o'clock, Shen Yuehuai took her out. The car drove down from above the temple and soon arrived at a nearby hospital for a prenatal check-up.
During this prenatal checkup, Shen Yuehuai was still standing at the door of the examination room waiting.
The department doing prenatal checkups was crowded with pregnant women.
As Shen Yuehuai was standing at the door waiting, a child in the corridor suddenly cried sharply.
Shen Yuehuai was attracted by the crying sound, and he looked up.
It turned out to be a little girl who accompanied her mother for a prenatal check-up. She was only two years old, white and chubby, with two little bumps on the top of her head.
He cried at his mother's feet like a small white lotus root just pulled out of the lotus pond.
He stared, wanting to laugh for some unknown reason.
He was wondering what his child would look like when he was born.
He tried to conjure up the image of a child in his mind, but came up blank.
He thought, it was enough for a girl to look like her mother, and if it was a boy, he would probably look like him?
When the baby is born, he will watch her babbling, teach him to read and write, and take him to a playground full of cute dolls.
Such thoughts swirled in his mind, and he actually felt very happy.
