However, the distance of the border military camp and the unpredictable nature of the war made her uncertain about her husband's return.
She could only pray silently, hoping that God would bless their family and let her husband return safely before giving birth.
When she saw Madam Zhao coming, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in her eyes.
