My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 659 - 222 Premature Birth_2
The room where she was and the one where Du Xixi was were far apart. Since she was in the waiting room area, she would occasionally hear the painful cries of expectant mothers from outside. Even though Mo Ying had mentally prepared herself for this, the uncertainty of her brother’s fate and the imminent childbirth weighed heavily on her, making it impossible for her to stay calm while waiting to give birth.
"Yingying, take a rest, there’s still a long way to go." Mo Ying didn’t want to rest, and her caretaker Ye Wenting naturally couldn’t rest either. He had been with Mo Ying for several days without sleeping, but back when he was doing research, it was common to go days and nights without sleep, so he still felt able to cope now.
But Ye Wenting knew that he could hold on, whereas Mo Ying’s body couldn’t. Pregnant women need to conserve their strength for childbirth, and if Mo Ying kept herself awake in fear, she might end up fainting when it comes time to deliver the baby.
"You heartless person, Fengzi has been missing for so long, and you still have the nerve to encourage me to sleep!" Even when in a poor mental state, Mo Ying could still raise her eyebrow and speak sharply. At this moment, she braced herself on the hospital bed and tugged at Ye Wenting’s ear. "Hmph!"
Mo Ying was just doing it for show; she didn’t use any force at all. Nonetheless, Ye Wenting cooperatively tilted his head and, while shouting in faux pain, pleaded, "Auntie, I misspoke, but you have to rest, otherwise, when Mo Feng gets back, he’ll be mad that I didn’t take good care of you."
"Hmph! You say you make sense, but I can’t argue with you." Mo Ying pouted and turned her head away. Ever since she got pregnant, everyone had been humoring her mood, and her little tantrums became increasingly well-practiced.
Seeing that Mo Ying was somewhat convinced, Ye Wenting worked harder and quickly coaxed Mo Ying into sleeping. After a long while, Mo Ying was sound asleep, and Ye Wenting sighed with relief as he looked at his wife’s sleeping face. As he pulled the warm blanket over Mo Ying, he genuinely worried for Mo Feng in his heart.
Back when he wanted to marry Mo Ying more smoothly, he secretly forged a good relationship with Mo Feng, her younger brother-in-law, so their relationship was quite strong, as close as actual brothers.
With Mo Feng in trouble, how could Ye Wenting not be worried?
But while worrying about that side, he had to take care of this side; he simply couldn’t neglect looking after Mo Ying because he was concerned about Mo Feng. The elders of the Ye and Mo families were growing old, and they were exhausted and saddened daily by Mo Feng’s situation, leaving Ye Wenting to shoulder more responsibilities.
Ye Wenting walked over to the window and glanced at the sky outside. His ears caught bits of conversation from the people coming and going at the hospital. He listened faintly, occasionally opening Light Computer to ask a friend some questions.
Ye Wenting belonged to the Imperial Research Institute, holding quite a high position and knowing many talented individuals. This friend was actually a senior, who retired early years ago due to health issues. Not only was he extraordinarily skilled in pharmaceutical biology, but he also supposedly had some connections to the Star Network, having contributed to some of its code.
This friend had always been low-key, and only after years of acquaintance did Ye Wenting learn about his capabilities. It was heard that the experts and scholars His Majesty Chen Yin sought had failed to decode Ke Lian’s Light Computer signals, which led Ye Wenting to consider asking this friend for help.
Even though this friend joined Star Network and became one of its managers, and despite Star Network not accepting any requests or commissions from various Empires... Ye Wenting figured if he personally asked a private friend for help with a private matter, Star Network shouldn’t interfere, right?
Ye Wenting slyly exploited the loophole of Star Network and conversed carefully with this friend.
No one knew about Ye Wenting’s covert efforts, as everyone else’s attention had already scattered. One moment they were looking for news of Ke Lian and others, the next comforting the physically weak Du Xixi, and then guarding to support Mo Ying, who could go into labor at any time. It was quite hectic.
Mid-April arrived, the weather was warming up, and the subtle heat in the air reached people, causing inexplicable restlessness. When Mo Ying rose early in the morning, she felt something was amiss with her body, and upon checking the bedding, she discovered patches of bright red blood.
Yes, Mo Ying had seen blood.
Due to health reasons, Du Xixi couldn’t come over, so Ke Xing entrusted their two children to Miao Miao and 2569. Then, as an elder, Ke Xing joined with the two pairs of parents from the Ye and Mo families, making a total of five people who came present to cheer Mo Ying on.
