Memories flooded her mind, and Ah Zhen sighed softly, feeling as if she were in another world. Even now, she still wondered if she was dreaming, but every sound she made on the floor reminded her that she wasn't dreaming.

She is truly free.

She can now pursue her happiness.

Thinking of Ye Hua, Ah Zhen smiled sweetly. Although this man was not strong, did not have much money, and was not capable, he was good to her and Lele, and that was enough.

She doesn't crave great wealth and status; all she wants is a warm home, a loving and caring man to rely on, the freedom to buy and cook whatever she wants to eat, the peace of mind to not have her earnings stolen, and the ability to sleep soundly at night without fear of being robbed.

That's enough.

Back in the ward, the old lady pulled Ye Qingqing aside and asked in a low voice, "How long has it been since you had your period?"

Ye Qingqing didn't react for a moment, and it took her a while to realize that the old lady was talking about her period. She silently calculated, "It seems to be a few days overdue, but I've never been very accurate with my period before."

"Go for a check-up tomorrow, don't do 'that' tonight, take it easy..."

Ye Qingqing blushed slightly and replied softly, "I know, I'm a doctor myself, how could I not know?"

The old lady glared at her and snorted, "Then how come you didn't know you were pregnant? Knowing is one thing, but whether you can hold back at night is another. Forget it, call your mother-in-law, and I'll give her a few words of advice. You young people are so naive."

Ye Qingqing obediently dialed the home phone. The old lady snatched it and greeted Lin Shufang, "This is Ye Hua's grandma. Qingqing is probably pregnant. That girl is a bit silly and doesn't know anything. You have to be careful!"

Ye Qingqing, standing beside her, curled her lip. "How can an idiot get into medical school?"

How could a fool save so many lives?

Lin Shufang was so excited on the phone that she slammed down the phone, shouting that she wanted to come and pick her up, but the old lady stopped her, saying, "With Lu Mo here, this child is steady, it's no use you coming over."

She hung up after saying only a few words, handed the phone back to Ye Qingqing, glanced at her a few times, her cloudy eyes filled with complex emotions. Time really flies; the little girl who was once so ignorant is now going to be a mother.

Xu Yali can rest easy down there now, right?

The old lady sighed and told Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo to go home quickly, and also told her not to bring them food anymore.

"Two grown men won't starve. Just take care of yourself. Go back and don't go out too much."

The old lady waved for them to leave. She had originally planned to go back to her hometown tomorrow, but now she changed her mind and decided to wait until the girl had been examined and received definite news before making any decisions.

And then she suddenly remembered that she hadn't been to Pingjiang for many years and needed to visit her former daughter-in-law, Xu Yali.

Ye Qingqing thought for a moment and then said, "I'll have Tiantian and Wuchen deliver the food tomorrow. They're free anyway, and they can ride their bikes very fast."

Given the old lady's frugal nature, she definitely wouldn't be willing to buy her anything delicious. At her age, her body can't handle eating too poorly.

"Is Xiaotong home?" The old lady missed her grandson.

“He’s going abroad for a competition next week, so he’s not staying at home right now. He’s gone to the mountains to calm his mind. I’ll have him come see you after the competition,” Ye Qingqing explained.

The old lady hurriedly waved her hand, "The competition is important, there's no need to come see me. Let him focus on the competition, I don't need to worry about this. Oh dear... Xiao Tong has become so successful. You'll have to keep an eye on his wife in the future. After all, she's a world champion, she can't be from a humble background."
