I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 224 – He would silently support her in any goal that she pursued (3)

“Mom? What’s wrong with Zhouzhou?”

During this long period of time when Ye Zhen left early and came back late, Mrs. Lu had been the one taking care of Zhouzhou. Zhouzhou cried and threw up when the nanny fed him this morning. Perhaps, this was due to the temperature turning cold recently. His temperature wasn’t right either. When they called a doctor over, he confirmed that Zhouzhou had a fever.

The doctor patiently explained, “Mrs. Lu, the changing of seasons has brought colder temperatures. Babies have weak immune systems. It’s normal for them to catch a cold or get a fever. He’s already okay now.”

Ye Zhen touched Zhouzhou’s forehead. His temperature really was unusually high.

On the side, Mrs. Lu couldn’t stop worrying. “Dr. Chen, don’t go back tonight. I’ll have someone clean out a guest room. Stay here for a night and wait until tomorrow when Zhouzhou’s condition is better. What do you think?”

Dr. Chen was the Lu’s private doctor. There was a precedent of him staying overnight at the Lu’s.

“Okay, Mrs. Lu.”

Mrs. Lu had someone lead Dr. Chen to a guest room to rest. Then, she turned around and sighed. “You and your husband, neither of you are willing to stay at home. You didn’t even know that Zhouzhou got sick. Tell me, is work important or is your baby important?”

Until now, Mrs. Lu had never spoken harshly to Ye Zhen. It was only that she was rather critical of Ye Zhen leaving early and coming home late for work.

Ye Zhen was self-aware and ashamed. She didn’t refute. “Sorry mom. I’ll be more concerned about Zhouzhou in the future.

Mrs. Lu sighed and didn’t say anymore.

Perhaps, there was a connection between mother and child. Zhouzhou woke up shortly after Ye Zhen entered the room. His cheeks were flushed, and he looked very sickly and in low spirits. He stared at Ye Zhen with his dark, round eyes.

It might be because he wasn’t feeling well or because it had been too long since he saw his mom, so he felt wronged, but either way, he pouted and burst into tears when he saw Ye Zhen.

Distressed, Ye Zhen immediately picked him up and carefully bounced him to cheer him up.

Zhouzhou was almost a year old. He really had grown much bigger than when he was just born. Although his face was still chubby, she could more or less see that the shape of his face and his facial features resembled Lu Beichuan.

Day by day, Zhouzhou had become increasingly clingy towards her. As soon as Ye Zhen picked him up, Zhouzhou leaned on her and continued loudly crying.

“Be good Zhouzhou, mom is here. Don’t cry.” Ye Zhen stroked his back and kept comforting him.

Hearing these words, Zhouzhou gradually stopped crying and only made convulsive gasps. He cautiously rubbed his face on Ye Zhen’s shoulder. Feeling her son’s little body moving as he gasped, Ye Zhen’s heart ached.

The nanny brought over a milk bottle. Ye Zhen held Zhouzhou as she fed him milk. Looking at those big eyes that were looking straight at her, she thought about how she would leave home before Zhouzhou woke up every day. By the time she came back, Zhouzhou was already asleep. There really had been very few interactions between them. As a mother, she had been negligent.

It took a while before Zhouzhou fell asleep in Ye Zhen’s arms after he finished drinking milk. Ye Zhen remained in the nursery to take care of him. From time to time, she would check his temperature with a thermometer.

Around 9PM, Lu Beichuan finally came home. Mother Lu nagged at him for quite a while in the living room. As soon as he heard that Zhouzhou was sick, he immediately went upstairs.

Lu Beichuan first glanced at Zhouzhou’s crib. Zhouzhou’s head was turned to the side. He was clearly asleep. He touched his son’s forehead to check his temperature. Still worried, he used the thermometer to check. Seeing that Zhouzhou’s temperature was within the normal range, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On the side, Ye Zhen’s head and arms were lying on the table. She was already asleep.

Lu Beichuan was aware of the energy and time that Ye Zhen contributed to the movie’s cast and crew. Although his heart ached for her, he didn’t try to persuade her to work less.

He would silently support her in any goal that she pursued.

Lu Beichuan leaned over and scooped Ye Zhen up in a princess carry. He gently carried her back to their room to sleep.
