Winters on the border are always colder than inland. A thin, cold wind blew in through the window cracks, and Tang Nuan, lying on the recliner, unconsciously wrapped the blanket around herself tighter.

The maid went over and closed the window. "Madam, if it's too cold, please turn on the heating. It will be more comfortable that way."

Tang Nuan shook her head; her pregnant belly was already prominently displayed under the blanket.

She is seven months pregnant and has been having difficulty walking lately. She can't sleep at night because the baby in her belly is always moving around.

"I'm not used to having the heating on; I'm fine with the windows closed."

"Then I'll put another blanket on your bed." The maid turned around and went to tidy up the bed.

Tang Nuan took out her phone from under the blanket, saw today's date, and realized that it had been several months since Si Ye had brought her back.

During this time, Tang Yao and Xue Ni also came to see her, but Si Ye wouldn't let them meet with her, only saying that he would treat her well and let her rest and recuperate here in peace.

Siye has been very busy these past few months, often leaving early and returning late, but he has been very attentive and caring towards her. He, who is usually short-tempered, has never lost his temper in front of her again, and she can even lose her temper with him now.

"Madam, the master will be back soon. He's so good to you; he'll definitely bring back your favorite candied hawthorns," the maid said casually as she made the bed.

"Make the bed and then go to rest. I want to be alone for a while."

"good."

She couldn't sleep well at night but was always sleepy. She leaned back in the recliner and was about to fall asleep.

The door opened, and a figure entered, bringing with it a gust of cold wind that jolted her awake.

Siye quietly closed the door, then knelt down beside her and asked, "Did the baby in your belly make you uncomfortable today?"

"It's okay." Her face was flushed, and her eyes were blurry with sleepiness, like a little lazy cat.

"Look what I brought back for you."

He pulled out a string of candied hawthorns from behind his back and put it in her hand.

I don't want to eat right now.

"It's okay, I'll buy it for you tomorrow."

Siye put down the candied hawthorn and picked her up, placing her on the bed.

Tang Nuan silently tugged at his sleeve and said, "You promised me last time that I could see my family once a month, but I haven't seen them yet this month."

"Then I'll arrange it for you in a couple of days."

"No, tomorrow."

"I'll listen to you."

He was very easy to talk to now, and affectionately stroked her hair. "I know you went through a lot during your ten months of pregnancy. I won't stop you from seeing them now, but you have to stay by my side. I want to make sure you're safe."

"It's not safe for me to be around you," she muttered under her breath.

"What?"

"without."

Siye turned off the lights, took off his clothes and shoes, lay down next to her, and talked to her.

Tang Nuan knew that he would go out to work overtime after she fell asleep, as he had been working overtime almost every day for the past few months.

"Nuan Nuan, once I finish what I'm doing this week, I'll take you to a warm city for a vacation, until our baby is born."

"Where would you find the time? Aren't you very busy?"

“After finishing a recent deal, I handed everything over to my subordinates. This deal was worth hundreds of millions, so I needed to handle it personally.”

She suddenly tugged at his sleeve. "Can you promise me you won't sell guns and ammunition anymore? It's illegal in this country."

"So I've always cooperated with foreign companies on these things. Don't worry, I won't get arrested and leave you and your children in a bad situation."

That's not what I meant either.

"Okay, go to sleep now, I'll stay with you."

Tang Nuan leaned against his chest, drowsiness washed over her, and she drifted off to sleep.

As the weather grew colder, Siye worried that Tang Nuan wouldn't be able to withstand the border winter, so he took her to a winter resort.

The scenery here is beautiful and the environment is tranquil, making it especially suitable for pregnancy.

Tang Nuan can sit on the balcony to bask in the sun and have breakfast as soon as she gets up in the morning.

After breakfast and a prenatal class, the doctor that Siye had arranged for her arrived.

Siye refused to believe that her eyes would never see again, so he went out of his way to find doctors to treat her eyes. During this period, no fewer than twenty famous doctors came.

She had already given up hope, and even if the doctor came, she would just mechanically cooperate with the examination.

"Miss Tang, can you open your eyes now? Are you comfortable?"

After the doctor finished applying a series of treatments, he asked her.

Tang Nuan opened her eyes, but everything was still pitch black, just like usual.

"Doctor, I don't think this will be of much use. You don't need to come in tomorrow."

"But this treatment course is not finished yet."

"Do you think my eyes will be able to see again after I finish all the treatments?"

The doctor fell silent.

Silence means consent, and Tang Nuan knew this principle well. She smiled and said, "I understand. You can go back now. Thank you for your hard work today."

“But the treatment still needs to be completed. Your husband has already paid all the fees for me and sends a car to pick me up and drop me off every day. If I suddenly stop coming, your husband might have something to say.”

"I understand. I'll talk to him about it myself."

"OK."

The doctor packed up his things, got up, and left.

Tang Nuan leaned back in her chair, gently stroking her pregnant belly with one hand, her expression somewhat forlorn.

Why did you stop treatment?

When Siye returned, he asked her as soon as he entered the door.

"It's impossible to cure, so why should I waste my time on treatment?"

He slowly knelt down in front of her, gently stroking her eyebrows and eyes. "Nuan Nuan, trust me one more time. This doctor is someone I've been looking for for a long time. He's famous in the field of ophthalmology. If it doesn't work after you finish this course of treatment, okay?"
