"The baby is fine, don't worry."
He finally answered, reassuring her.
Zhiyun was still unsure, so she asked again to confirm, "Are you really okay? Can I really give birth to this baby safely?"
"Yes." He replied, his voice trembling slightly.
Zhiyun's mind was completely focused on the baby in her belly, and she couldn't care less about his expression or tone.
As long as the baby can be born, it’s better than anything else.
She did all this just to give birth to this baby, she couldn't fail. She could withstand any blow, but not this one.
Zhiyun didn't know why he kept staring at her. She thought she wouldn't live long and he was feeling pity and compassion for her.
Thinking of this, Zhiyun chuckled softly: "Louis, don't look at me like that. I know I won't live long, but as long as the child is okay and I can give birth to this child smoothly, for me, this is enough."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Louis again and said to him, "Thank you for saving me."
"Zhizhi..." Han Qingrang looked at her in surprise.
Zhiyun withdrew her gaze from him and said in a light voice, "Lord Duke Louis, you should call me A-Li instead of Zhizhi. I might easily confuse you with him. I haven't seen him for a long time. I don't want to see you because I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you apart..."
At this point, Zhiyun smiled bitterly: "Before, I could tell you apart. Even if you didn't speak, I could still tell you apart..."
She said she could tell him from Louis.
But it's been a long time, I haven't seen him for too long.
She was worried that she wouldn't be able to tell him from Louis.
But now, she really can't tell...
Han Qingrang should have felt relieved when he saw her indifferent attitude towards him, but he couldn't feel happy at all.
His internal organs were tormenting him inch by inch like a raging sea, and the pale blue veins on his forehead looked like they had experienced a disaster of burning flames.
Zhiwei has always been his calamity, and he has always been Zhiwei's calamity.
The proprietress, who had been standing not far away and had always been ignored, came over.
Zhiyun noticed the boss lady coming over and felt a pang of disappointment, "Boss lady, why are you here too?"
The proprietress didn't expose Han Qingrang's refusal to explain who he was. She simply smiled and sat on the other side of the bed, looking at Zhiyun, whose face was pale but whose pupils had turned gray-blue. "What I care about is this child. I have to see you give birth to this child safely with my own eyes."
Zhiyun smiled bitterly and stroked her belly. "I was bitten by a snake, but since I'm fine, the child must be fine."
"Well, of course I'm fine." The proprietress leaned forward slightly and stared at Zhiyun's haggard face. "In three months, you will give birth."
"I know the due date."
Zhiyun was very tired, but she was even more thirsty. "Boss, could you please pour me a glass of water?"
The words fell.
The proprietress looked at Han Qingrang.
Han Qingrang got up to pour water, then poured the water to her mouth.
Knowing that he was only taking care of herself, Zhiyun was not used to such close contact with him, so she fed herself water with her own hands. She turned her head and took the cup of water, "I can do it myself, thank you."
A thank you, so distant.
I wasn't talking to him, but my heart still felt like it was suffocating.
Zhiyun drank several mouthfuls first, drinking very quickly and quickly, almost choking. When Han Qingrang reached out his hand, she saw it, moved away, and immediately said, "Don't touch me."
The hand he extended froze in mid-air.
Zhiyun held the water cup in her palm and looked at her. Although there was a grateful smile on her face, that smile was uglier than crying because her face was too pale and bloodless.
She said, "Louis, don't be so nice to me, really. You can't get anything in return from me, and I'm grateful to you for saving my baby this time. I'm very grateful."
"I saved you," he said.
"To me, you saved my little baby." Zhiyun repeated.
The proprietress deliberately said, "Little girl, why don't you just make do with Louis? He has a face exactly like the one you love, and he's just as good to you. Why not?"
"Boss lady!"
Zhiyun shouted in a deep voice.
The boss lady's smile deepened. "I think I'm telling the truth. You only have three months left. Don't you hate him for treating you like this this time?"
"hatred!"
The word "hate" made Han Qing feel like he was hit hard in the heart.
He looked at her without saying a word.
"Even if I hate him, he is still the father of the baby in my belly." Zhiyun's voice was so clear, every word was clear, "Even if I don't love him anymore, he is still the father of the baby in my belly."
After saying that——
Zhiyun leaned back against the bedside table and spoke again, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible: "But even if it has come to this, I won't hate him, because I can't. All this was just me forcing him to do this, it has nothing to do with him."
Han Qingrang stared at her intently.
Noticing his gaze, Zhiyun also looked at him: "Louis, I don't care whether you want the throne or something else, I will cooperate with you. However, you must guarantee my personal safety until I give birth to this child. He hates me so much, and if I don't die this time, I'm sure he won't let me go."
Han Qingrang's hands, which were supporting the bed, slowly clenched up inch by inch.
His expression was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs," the proprietress suddenly interjected, "Besides, you're carrying his child. How could he have the heart to kill you?!"
"Yes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs." Zhiyun echoed the proprietress's meaning. "But he's such a proud man, he wouldn't tolerate me cheating on his feelings and being with someone else. What does this child mean to me? It means nothing at all!"
As she spoke, Zhiyun smiled bitterly, "So, before that happens, I have to keep this little baby. At least, this is the only 'souvenir' I can leave for him."
Zhiyun would never know that the person in front of her was the man she always claimed hated to the core.
She thought it was Louis.
But he is Han Qingrang, the man she loves most.
Because even she herself couldn't tell the difference between Dr. Han and Lewis.
"I'm leaving. Contact me if you need anything."
The proprietress said nothing more and walked away fanning herself.
Only Zhiyun and Han Qingrang were left in the room.
Zhiyun didn't even know where she was when she woke up. She only knew that when she woke up, the boss lady and Louis were by her side.
