Zhen Tian frowned at the two people's startled exclamations.
"What's wrong with you guys? My due date is only a few days away. Is this something to make such a fuss about?"
"Due date!" Ye Qingyan choked on her saliva and coughed for a long time.
"Take a sip of water to calm down," Zhen Tian said, still worried about her.
After overcoming her discomfort, Ye Qingyan cried out, "Sweetie, you don't still not know, do you? Brother Ji, he..."
"Shut up." Ji Quanzhou happened to be returning and was passing by Zhen Tian when he heard this. He quickly walked over, frowning and looking at the young girl in the video with a hint of anger.
Ye Qingyan was startled. She quickly regained her senses.
It seems that Sweetie really doesn't know.
"uncle……"
Seeing Ji Quanzhou's obviously strange expression, Zhen Tian recalled all the conversations she had just had with Yang Tao and Ye Qingyan.
A sense of unease arose within her.
"Dad? What happened?"
"It's alright. Yuzhi probably won't be able to make it back before you give birth, so he didn't dare tell you, afraid of upsetting you." Ji Quanzhou smiled at her. "What else could it be? Dad was just being a bit harsh, arguing with someone at the company."
"Uncle apologizes to you." Ji Quanzhou spoke gently into his phone, but his expression betrayed a different story, carrying a warning.
Ye Qingyan and Yang Tao both understood.
"I'm sorry, honey, your friend and I weren't in a good mood." Ji Quanzhou glanced at the call time: "It's been going on for so long. Let's get ready to eat."
"Dad, are you hiding something from me?"
Zhen Tian might not notice anything amiss, but once she does, she won't be so easily fooled.
"No."
"Dad!" Zhen Tian squeezed his hand: "Really not?"
"Really not. You little brat." Ji Quanzhou poked Zhen Tian between the eyebrows.
"Okay, then tell me, what did you say about Zhizhi just now?"
"No, did we say that?" Ye Qingyan shook her head quickly under Ji Quanzhou's cold gaze.
"You'd better tell the truth!" Zhen Tian felt increasingly uneasy.
If there really wasn't anything wrong, then everyone wouldn't be walking on thin ice like this.
"I'll just call Zhizhi myself and ask!"
Zhen Tian, Ji Quanzhou, and the two people on the phone faced off.
"Never mind." Lu Ti had been listening for a while. She and Liu Ye came out of the room, with Zhen Lei behind them.
"Wait a minute, let me call your brother about this."
Lu Ti's first words were: "It can't be hidden anymore."
Then, after saying something on the other end, Lu Ti put her phone on speakerphone.
"Let your brothers tell you."
There was a long silence in the room before Lu Kai spoke first.
“Sweetie, it’s my third uncle.”
"Hmm." Zhen Tian responded coldly, standing in the center of the living room, waiting with a blank expression.
"That's how it is. Yuzhi didn't mean to hide it from you; he was just afraid you'd worry..."
Ji Yuzhi has been infected with the virus.
It took my brothers and uncles twenty minutes to explain those eight words clearly, using various tactful methods.
"You mean, only him..." Zhen Tian felt a darkness before her eyes, her body swayed twice, and her eyelids fluttered open before she fainted.
"Sweet!"
"Sweet!"
Everyone in the room crowded around, and the room was in complete chaos.
I don't know who shouted that.
"Sweetie's water broke! Hurry to the hospital!"
Fortunately, the preparations were thorough, so I didn't panic at this moment.
Even at this critical juncture, they remembered to bring disinfectant and masks.
Ye Qingyan and Yang Tao also learned about Zhen Tian's water breaking over the phone. They had previously discussed which hospital Zhen Tian would be giving birth at.
So as soon as they heard the news, they packed their things and rushed to the hospital.
Zhen Tian regained consciousness before even reaching the hospital. She clutched her clothes tightly at her stomach and cried out, "Mom, is Zhizhi infected?!"
Her restraint was even more heartbreaking than her heart-wrenching cries.
Lu Ti gritted her teeth and agreed, but then immediately added, "Don't worry, his condition is stable. We've already contacted Yu Zhi."
"Call him, call him."
Zhen Tian's head was covered in sweat. Although she couldn't feel any pain, she felt as if something was twisting and churning all over her body.
"Okay, okay, I'll make the call right away."
Liu Ye picked up Zhen Tian's phone, but Zhen Tian slapped it away.
"Use yours."
She was afraid that her number would go unanswered.
"Okay, okay."
Now everyone goes along with her every whim.
The call connected quickly, and Ji Yuzhi's voice came through: "Mom, how is Tiantian?"
The moment the call connected, Liu Ye had already turned on speakerphone, so Zhen Tian could hear his weak greeting clearly.
Her cries were filled with despair: "Zhizhi!"
"Sweetie!" Ji Yuzhi panicked instantly.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep it from me!" Zhen Tian's voice was squeezed out of her throat. She felt sticky all over and as if she was being tightly squeezed, making it hard to breathe.
"Don't get agitated, relax. Don't get agitated." Ji Yuzhi was so frightened by her that he had even more trouble breathing. He gasped for breath, picked up the respirator from the bedside table, put it over his mouth, and kept panting.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you let me know!" Zhen Tian had only one sentence left on her lips as she arrived at the hospital.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault." Ji Yuzhi kept apologizing as well.
"I don't want to like you anymore. Ji Yuzhi, I hate you!" Zhen Tian shouted.
"No, no, this won't do," the nurse quickly said. "Pregnant women shouldn't get agitated. Keep breathing."
"Don't get excited, baby. You're about to give birth. It's the final stage. You don't want anything to happen to the baby, do you?"
The two mothers were already in tears, but they still had to comfort Zhen Tian.
Ye Qingyan and Yang Tao rushed over: "Sweetie, don't cry, don't cry."
"If you keep crying, something bad will happen to both the child and you."
They quickly joined the persuasion effort.
The whole family was filled with anxiety and impatience, and even lost their way.
Huo Qingming, who had parked his car, walked in and busied himself with the paperwork, not saying a word and not wanting to distract the others.
"Sweetie, don't cry." Ji Yuzhi's voice grew weaker and weaker: "I'll apologize to you in person when I get back."
"I don't want to, I don't want to! Just one!" Zhen Tian cried uncontrollably.
"Could you please calm her down? She can't seem to calm down."
"No, you can't use medicine indiscriminately."
Zhen Tian's blood pressure was very unstable, and her emotions were driving her insane.
"Sweetie, I beg you, please don't cry." Ji Yuzhi also cried: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to you and the child."
