Chapter 462 - The Bleeding Did Not Stop

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Pei Ziheng went in to accompany her and half-knelt as he held her hand. “Xiao Ling, are you ok?”

She did not have the strength nor the heart to talk to him. At this time, she hated him endlessly. If this man did not take her amulet away from her hand, she would not have become unstable and lost the energy to give birth to her child. In that case, she would not have needed the forceps. If the forceps were not used, her child would have probably been safe.

Her body trembled slightly, and she clasped her hands near her chest as she prayed.

Seeing her like that, Pei Ziheng’s expression darkened. He was already thinking about what awful place to send that spawn of the devil if he managed to survive.

After a difficult time, the nurse ran over to report the happy news. “Congratulations Mr. Pei and Mrs. Pei, the child is safe!”

“Where’s the child? Let me see him.” Xia Ling weakly said.

“He’s in the incubator and should not be moved around.” The nurse tried to console her. “Mrs. Pei, you can see the child after you take care of your body.”

“I want to see him now.” Xia Ling insisted.

“You shouldn’t move so much now.” Pei Ziheng said.

“I don’t care.” Xia Ling was very stubborn. The man in front of her was not her child’s biological father. In such a big hospital, she was the only one related to her child by blood. If she did not see her child personally, how could she be relieved?

She struggled as she got up.

“Don’t move!” The nurse quickly went to support her. Suddenly, she was shocked. “Oh my god, blood... Your bleeding hasn’t stopped!” This was a sign of postpartum hemorrhage which could kill her!

The color was drained from the nurse’s face as she rushed to find the doctor-in-charge.

Xia Ling also felt faint as she tumbled to the ground.

Pei Ziheng grabbed her body quickly and cruelly said, “You better survive. I will ask them to do all they can to save your child. If you die, don’t even think about protecting your child. He will be buried with you! No, he will be fed to wild dogs! I swear!”

Xia Ling was scared by his ferocious look. Demon... This man was a demon...

She was sent to the emergency rescue room for a day and a night.

When she finally opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was her child.

This was thanks to the doctor. He said to Pei Ziheng, “Madam can’t be provoked anymore. The postpartum hemorrhage is very dangerous and can kill her. If she gets anxious because she can’t see her child, the consequences will be dire.”

Pei Ziheng’s look was cold, but he still let the staff place the child’s incubator in her ward.

Xia Ling turned her head over on the bed to look at her baby. He was a very thin baby boy, and his body was still faintly purple. He looked a little smaller than other babies. His eyes were closed, and his face was crumpled. Occasionally, he cried weakly like a kitten.

Xia Ling felt sorry for him, but she did not have an ounce of strength in her body to get off the bed to take care of him.

Her bed was right beside her child’s incubator for many days.

In the meantime, Pei Ziheng visited her.

Xia Ling initially wanted to ignore him, but after some thought, she realized that her child’s life was in his hands. So, no matter what, she could not offend him. Thus, although she was not enthusiastic when meeting him, she was also not cold.

Both of them maintained a semblance of peace. Including the child in the incubator, in the eyes of outsiders, they seemed like a peaceful family of three. The nurses even said privately that Mr. Pei doted on his wife and took care of his wife more than his newborn son. This sort of man who loved his wife so much was rare.

However, no one knew that it was because this child was not actually Pei Ziheng’s.

The doctor said to Pei Ziheng, “You must take care of your wife well. Her condition is not good. Although the bleeding from her postpartum hemorrhage was controlled, it is easy for her to get sequelae. If she is not careful, she may not be able to get pregnant ever again.”

Pei Ziheng’s face darkened. “No matter what, you have to ensure that she remains fertile.”

The doctor replied, “We will do our best.”

After the doctor left, Pei Ziheng stood at the end of the corridor and lit a cigarette. He could not believe that the situation turned out to be so serious. If he had known that it would turn out like this, he would have ignored her strong resistance and would have aborted the child directly. Pei Ziheng was rather regretful and knitted his brows.

“Boss.” It was Chu Chen’s voice. These days, as Pei Ziheng accompanied pregnant Xia Ling, Chu Chen accompanied him. Chu Chen asked, “How are we going to deal with the child?”

Pei Ziheng said, “When her body is better, send the child to an orphanage.”

Chu Chen said, “The child is too small. If we send it away like this, I’m afraid it would be difficult for it to survive.”

Pei Ziheng replied, “I don’t care.”

Chu Chen shuddered in his heart and understood what he meant. He was afraid that even if the boy did not encounter some accident in the orphanage, Pei Ziheng would hire people to create a few accidents.

That child could not live for long.

“Before Xiao Ling is discharged from the hospital, take care of him well.” Pei Ziheng’s voice was as calm as water. “Let him eat the best food and wear the best clothes. You must ensure that he’s well taken care of so that Xiao Ling is relieved. When Xiao Ling is relieved, she will recover soon and will be able to give birth to the real heir of the Pei Family earlier.”

Chu Chen bowed his head and promised him.

Pei Ziheng instructed Chu Chen to stay in the hospital and left.

He did not return for more than a month.

Every day, Chu Chen would report to him about Xia Ling’s situation. Once, he asked, “Boss, why don’t you come to see madam? Recently, her body is not well, and she can’t eat anything.”

Pei Ziheng answered faintly, “Do you think she can eat more if I’m there? You’re more than enough to take care of her. Once she is able to leave the hospital, send her back home directly.”

Chu Chen understood that he did not intend to visit her. Thinking about it, he felt that it was understandable. This child was not his boss’, and his boss had already made so many concessions for her and her child. How could he possibly personally come to the hospital to visit them and emotionally burden himself?

Besides, Pei Ziheng was usually very busy with his business. Due to Xia Ling’s pregnancy, he had already rejected a few big projects. At this rate, it would affect Imperial Entertainment’s dominance in the industry.

Thus, Chu Chen continued to take care of Xia Ling for him.

Xia Ling did not care about seeing Pei Ziheng. If she had a choice, she would rather face Chu Chen every day. At least, the level of danger and oppression she felt was much lower than his master.

Now, her baby did not need the incubator anymore. His unhealthy purple skin had also faded, and his small hands and feet were small and white. He still could not open his eyes and often drooled.

Xia Ling cradled him in her arms lovingly.

She felt that her child’s eyes resembled hers and then felt that they resembled Li Lei’s. They looked very attractive. In reality, newborns looked almost the same. She only felt that her child was attractive because she was biased.
