Before I knew it, a light drizzle began to fall outside. Large swaths of dark clouds gathered, blocking the sunlight and casting vast shadows. The ground was wet with rain, clean and fresh, and the air was filled with a damp coolness that was invigorating.

A woman in a blue striped hospital gown stood outside the window, her eyes deep and unfathomable. She stared blankly at the drizzle outside, lost in a long silence, as if she had lost her soul. Her hands unconsciously rested on her lower abdomen, gently stroking it.

Ring ring ring—the phone rang abruptly, instantly shattering the silence of the room. The jarring sound made everyone frown. Luckily, Yan Rui had booked a private room as a gesture of friendship; otherwise, it might have disturbed the other patients in the room and caused them dissatisfaction.

Looking at the big word "Mom" on her phone, Cheng Momo frowned, gritted her teeth, and hung up the phone. Then she stuffed the phone under her pillow, deceiving herself into not looking at it.

Unfortunately, the phone kept ringing like a death knell, and the vibrations caused the hospital bed to vibrate, shattering the peaceful atmosphere.

Cheng Momo covered her ears, refusing to listen or think, and finally simply blocked her mother's number, only then did the world finally calm down. But not long after, the phone rang again. Although it was an unknown number, Cheng Momo knew it was someone from her family calling.

I don't know how much time had passed, but the sky had darkened, the moon hung high in the branches, and the ground was wet with rain, creating a misty night scene outside, quiet and beautiful.

Cheng Momo deceived herself for a long time, forcing herself not to look at her phone, but in the end, her hands trembled as she picked up the phone and pressed the green button.

He blinked his dry eyes, coughed lightly, his handsome face filled with confusion, and his voice was as dry as parched earth. She licked her dry lips and said in a hoarse voice, "Hey, Mom..."

As soon as the call connected, the other end launched into a rapid-fire monologue, filled with endless anger and a sobbing voice, accusations, and barely perceptible heartache and disappointment.

"MoMo, where have you been? Come home right now. You can't be like this. You're still so young. How can you shoulder the responsibility of a mother? Since the other person doesn't want you or the child, just abort it. You're young, you have a bright future ahead of you, and you'll have many more choices in the future. Why hang yourself on this one tree?"

Cheng's mother was furious with her daughter. She had raised her with great care and effort, and her daughter, who had only graduated from university two years ago, suddenly became pregnant. She didn't know what had gotten into her, but she insisted on having the baby. She had a huge fight with her family over this and even ran away from home.

He had called the phone so many times he almost lost count, trying one number after another, before finally getting through. He was angry and anxious, but mostly worried about his daughter.

"I don't want it. This is the fruit of my love, a vibrant life. Even if he doesn't want me anymore, I will still give birth to this child and raise him." Cheng Momo sniffed, blinked, and wiped away the tears in her eyes. Her tone was firm, filled with an inexplicable persistence, and it was unclear where she got the courage from.

"MoMo, how is this possible?" Cheng's mother was furious. Being a single mother is not easy. She knew her daughter very well. She had been pampered since she was a child and was too naive. She was a delicate flower in a greenhouse and could not withstand the storms outside.

The couple discussed finding a responsible and capable husband for Momo, asking him to take good care of their daughter so that she could be cherished, safe, and happy throughout her life.

But their own daughter went against the grain and did something like this. Although people's views are much more advanced and open now, being pregnant out of wedlock inevitably invites criticism and ridicule. Gossip can be deadly; even if the elderly couple didn't say anything, their daughter, who had been protected since childhood, certainly couldn't bear this kind of suffering.

“I don’t care where you are right now. Go home right now, get rid of this child, come back home and find a job. Your father and I will find you a good man to marry, and then we’ll pretend this never happened.”

Their daughter might be confused, but Cheng's parents were not. They absolutely could not stand by and watch their daughter make a foolish decision and go down the wrong path in such a crucial life matter. The muffled voice, heavy with anger and carrying a hint of command and reprimand, made Cheng Momo, who had been spoiled since childhood, feel even more aggrieved, and a defiant fire rose in her heart instead.

You think I can't do it? I'll show you! What's so bad about being a single mother? He's capable; he can earn money and support his child. He doesn't need anyone else to worry about him.

He's grown up now, no longer the obedient child he once was. Why should he let his parents control him? He wants to be in charge of his own life. He utterly disdains their outdated, conservative ideas.

As an educated youth nurtured in the new era, how could she be influenced by such outdated ideas? The more Cheng Momo thought about it, the more ambitious she became.

“Impossible. Don’t come looking for me again. Just pretend I don’t exist as your daughter. I won’t acknowledge you as my parents either. Anyway, you have a younger brother now. I’m going to show you whether I can raise a child properly.”

After saying that, ignoring her mother's exasperation on the other end of the phone, Cheng Momo cleanly and decisively hung up the phone and blacklisted all her parents' and relatives' phone numbers.

In the hospital director's office, Wuyou leaned wearily against his executive chair. He rubbed his throbbing forehead; he had just finished a major surgery, and his strength was waning—after all, his age was taking its toll.

With her superb medical skills accumulated over many worlds and her familiarity with the cosmetics industry, Wuyou also made a name for herself in the beauty industry. After her son came of age, she handed over the company to him to manage, and founded the hospital herself, becoming its director.

The fear of death is inherent in all people, especially the wealthy who are unwilling to give up their lives. A skilled doctor brings far greater benefits than a business partner. It was precisely because of Wuyou's support that their Mingzhu Cosmetics Company grew larger and larger in the industry, enjoying smooth sailing all the way.

The commotion when they first arrived in this world seemed to have passed long ago. If Cheng Momo hadn't accidentally appeared in front of Yan Rui, Wuyou would probably have forgotten about them completely long ago.

Thinking of Cheng Momo, who was comfortably in her private hospital room, Wuyou's eyes deepened. This girl is not simple either!

In Liu Wuyou's world, Cheng Momo also became pregnant out of wedlock and had an affair with their company's president. In the end, the two were forced to separate. She was pregnant but refused to have an abortion, so she ended up finding Yan Rui, the gullible fool, to take advantage of her.

Because Cheng Momo had shown Yan Rui the only kindness he had shown during his childhood, Yan Rui developed a special affection for him. He was completely obedient to him, did everything he could to support Cheng Momo and raise her child.

He was practically a model of someone who would take over a bad situation, but ultimately he didn't get a good ending.
