Chapter 172 -172: Morning Sickness
Zong Fang was both anxious and furious, his face darkened as he patted her back beside her, Ruka fetched her water to rinse her mouth, and Leberli personally went to check the kitchen, while Carl sat outside on the sofa with his head in his hands, looking utterly remorseful.
Qiao Suisui could barely vomit anything out; her eyes reddened from the effort, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face. After rinsing her mouth and pausing for a moment, she tried to walk to her room, but the next second, Ruka picked her up. The man didn’t speak or look at her, but Qiao Suisui knew he was heartbroken for her. She tugged at his collar and whispered softly, “I didn’t know the reaction would be so severe…”
Ruka sighed, kissed her temple soothingly, and carried her back. “Don’t talk for now; I’ll take you back to sleep for a while.”
Carl followed, anxious, but then saw Zong Fang’s murderous glare. He muttered resentfully, “I swear, I only gave her a small cup.”
“Haven’t I told you about her unique constitution?” Zong Fang was irritated, really wanting to twist Carl’s head off, “Do you think always spoiling her by giving her whatever she wants is good for her?”
For once, Carl didn’t talk back but stood there taking the scolding, his face a bit stiff.
However, Qiao Suisui, who had laid back down once inside the temple, hadn’t improved. She endured and endured, but finally covered her mouth and rushed into the bathroom, vomiting nothing but stomach acid.
Ruka frowned in pain, caressing her back with his hand, while asking the others, “Isn’t there anything that can be done?”
Leberli, who had returned, said, “The medical team has checked her. They said it’s due to gastrointestinal discomfort causing pregnancy reactions; we can only wait for the symptoms to subside on their own.”
At that moment, Zong Fang came from outside with a glass of water and a pill. Ruka stopped him, “What are you giving her?”
“Medicine to stop the vomiting.”
Ruka disagreed, but Qiao Suisui said she wanted to take it. She really couldn’t stand the nauseous feeling, similar to motion sickness.
In fact, the tablet only contained vitamin B6; he told her it would stop the vomiting to provide psychological comfort. He had done extensive research on human pregnancy beforehand to prevent her discomfort during pregnancy, relieved that he hadn’t needed to use it previously. But this pregnancy was making her so uncomfortable, he suddenly felt both guilty and heartbroken.

“Qiaoqiao, sweetie, it’ll be better once you take this.” He cooed softly, wiping the physiological tears from her eyes, and watched her take the medicine and then gave her water to drink.
Qiao Suisui leaned on the washbasin, feeling utterly drained. Ruka carried her back to bed and wiped her face with a warm towel, making her feel much more comfortable.
After taking the medicine, she indeed no longer felt nauseous, but she felt her eyes were a bit heavy to keep open. Ruka stroked her head, coaxing her to sleep, while Zong Fang was taking her temperature and Leberli sat anxiously at her bedside. Carl stood alone in a corner of the room, his head bowed in silence.
She yawned, fighting off sleepiness, and called Carl’s name.
Carl stepped forward, his eyes full of regret.
Qiao Suisui grasped his hand and gently shook it, saying to the other men, “It’s my own craving, Carl is not to blame.”
Seeing her consider his feelings even when she was in such discomfort, Carl felt even more remorseful. He held her small hand and said softly, “Sleep tight, it’ll be okay when you wake up. I’m not going anywhere; I’ll be right here with you.”
Qiao Suisui was still uneasy, her eyelids heavy yet unwilling to sleep, until Zong Fang, both angry and helpless, whispered in her ear, “No one will blame him. Sleep now, sweetie.”
At his words, Qiao Suisui slowly closed her eyes, no longer resisting the sleep.
Ruka looked at Zong Fang with concern, lowering his voice to ask, “Does your medicine contain any ingredients for sleep?”
Zong Fang nodded, his gaze fixed on Qiao Suisui as he gently brushed her hair from her forehead. “Those ingredients won’t harm her body. Her body is very easily fatigued and needs more rest. Moreover, if she continues to vomit like before, she will feel very uncomfortable.”
Carl had been holding her hand and staying silent, and suddenly he no longer wanted the leopard cub. He had no concept of pregnancy before, only knew it was a wonderful thing. Now, seeing Suisui so distressed, even eating a little of what she wanted could lead to such intense reactions, he suddenly felt that pregnancy was a very hard ordeal. He didn’t want her to suffer.
Indeed, carrying this litter was proving to be too much, overwhelming even Qiao Suisui’s system-enhanced body. Just one month in and her stomach already felt bloated, as if stuffed full. The men thought unanimously, if her stomach were to grow bigger, she would increasingly need someone nearby, and they wondered how long she would hurt until the day of delivery.
Just thinking of that day, Zong Fang began to experience uncontrollable anxiety.
In the following days, Qiao Suisui’s symptoms of morning sickness did not lessen. Zong Fang dared not give her any more medication; after all, every medicine has its side effects. Seeing her wanting to vomit at the smell of any food, he felt frantic.
Ruka had been away from the Military Department for several days now, staying by her side non-stop. At that moment, he was feeding her a small bowl of porridge. After she vomited three times with just three sips, he couldn’t bear to coax her to eat anymore, feeling heartbroken, “If you don’t want to eat, then let’s not eat. Would you like to drink some water?”
Qiao Suisui shook her head, curling up in Carl’s arms, covering her mouth.
The men were all at their wit’s end, powerful individuals outside but now helpless, watching her suffer. Though none spoke it aloud, each was feeling very agitated inside.
Just then, Leberli walked in carrying a bowl of pink medicinal liquid, with Sang Yan following behind him, saying, “Suisui, this is water boiled from the nectar of Moonlight Flowers. You won’t feel sick after drinking this.”
Leberli was truly desperate. He remembered soon after Suisui’s previous delivery, Sang Yan had once provided him with a bowl of something said to help her recover quickly. He shared the situation with Sang Yan who, without a second word, transformed into a dragon and flew directly back to the Freedom Alliance, plucking Moonlight Flowers in front of the Beast God Temple to bring back.
Traveling from Auslan to the Freedom Alliance typically took at least fifteen days, but Sang Yan, flying ceaselessly against the wind, managed to reduce the journey to five days.
Carl took the porcelain bowl, tasting a mouthful first to ensure there was nothing odd, then gently supported Qiao Suisui’s shoulders to let her sip it. Now, he insisted on tasting anything first.
After Qiao Suisui finished, she licked her lips, finding it sweet and fragrant like drinking nectar, the constant churning in her throat and stomach subsiding significantly.
“It seems to really help, Sang Yan, thank you.”
Seeing her spirits improve noticeably, the men finally felt a great weight lift from their shoulders.
Leberli said, “You said this is called Moonlight Flower? I shall order it to be planted in the Imperial Court too.”
Sang Yan shook his head and said, “It won’t work, Moonlight Flowers only grow in front of the Beast God’s temple. I have never seen it thrive outside of the Freedom Alliance.”
Zong Fang asked, “How long will its effects last?”
Sang Yan estimated for a moment and answered, “Up to two days.”
Zong Fang and Ruka exchanged glances, seeing the same idea reflected in each other’s eyes.
That day, the men discussed and decided to take Qiao Suisui to the Freedom Alliance for her pregnancy.
