The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 367 - 229: Time Flies, Filling Hearts with Panic and Unease
The place remains flat.
Yet Yun Chunnuan feels it’s completely different from before!
Although she doesn’t know how big the fetus is now, she can feel the baby’s presence, though... though it tortures her greatly.
Perhaps, this is sorrow intertwined with joy.
But now, that feeling of pain has disappeared?
There’s a warm current in her lower abdomen, and she can’t tell what it is. But the words uttered by her husband before she fainted filled her with fear and fury!
"Yelyu Lie, you bastard! How could you bear... how could you be willing... never again... never again!"
She screamed, overwhelmed by grief and anger, hitting and pounding the man sitting before the bed.
Yet Yun Chunnuan’s body was too weak, she lacked strength, and after a few blows, she was utterly exhausted.
From beginning to end, Yelyu Lie didn’t struggle at all.
What he had done, whether successful or not, was something he was meant to endure.
Once his little wife had vented her anger and tired herself out, he sighed heavily, his voice hoarse and trembling almost imperceptibly.
"Nuannuan, go to that space."
Her sobbing stopped abruptly, and Yun Chunnuan looked at him in shock, "What?"
"Go to your space, adjust it to a mode more comfortable for your body." Yelyu Lie hadn’t visited the Storage Ring Space, and he didn’t know if the time was static or accelerated there, nor its effect on his little wife.
All he knew was there was a way to slow the baby’s growth.
He could bear not seeing her.
If it were three months, five months, or even ten months, as long as she was safe, what did a little more time matter?
All he wanted was stability, his little darling’s stability.
Yet Yun Chunnuan still couldn’t understand what it meant.
Wasn’t he the one who drugged her unconscious?
Wasn’t the baby removed after that?
Initially, Yun Chunnuan didn’t have time to check other parts of her body.
Now she carefully sensed and found nothing unusual except the warm flow in her abdomen.
Just as she was about to lift the blanket, Yelyu Lie pressed down her frail hand, "Nuannuan... it’s still there, that thing is still there..."
His voice choked, and his pale eyes filled with red veins.
He couldn’t bear it!
Drinking a bowl of medicine had already been his utmost limit.
But if it meant harming her body...
How could he bear it, how could he be willing?
That thing...
Yun Chunnuan caressed her lower abdomen.
The term he used for the baby inside her felt unbearably harsh.
"Husband, this is our child!"
Yelyu Lie’s gaze lingered on her covered abdomen for a moment.
He didn’t want to admit it!
He couldn’t admit it!
Even if it’s his flesh and blood, how could he accept it as his child when it caused such harm to his little wife?
"Nuannuan, don’t be afraid. I’ll be with you no matter what." He changed the topic, unwilling to argue with her over this issue.
Yun Chunnuan still didn’t know what had happened.
After all, before she lost consciousness, his attitude was so resolute.
And her abdomen indeed felt strange.
"Then here I..."
"Fetus-preserving medicine."
He curled his lips, trembling fingers tracing her brows, her eyes, her face, finally to her cracked lips.
"Nuannuan, go ahead, don’t worry about me, just be safe."
Yun Chunnuan felt a tug at her heart, seeing the man’s eyes full of pity, she threw herself into his arms, crying bitterly, "I can’t go! Husband, I can’t go! Even before confirming pregnancy, I couldn’t get into the Storage Ring Space!
There was a similar situation before, but it would resolve itself within two days, I thought it was the space having a self-repair process.
But this time... I can’t get in... even now..."
Yun Chunnuan had considered going to the Storage Ring Space.
With this child, how could she not be worried about her own health?
In her husband’s eyes, it might only seem like her rapid emaciation, but the torment inside her, only she knew.
That’s why she had long thought of the Storage Ring Space.
Even in the last moment before fainting, she feared her husband might truly throw caution to the wind and abort the child.
She tried going again, but... it was still the same.
The space seemed no longer welcoming her...
The man’s embrace froze, his body trembling more violently.
"How long has it been since you couldn’t access the space?"
Yun Chunnuan thought for a moment, "About half a month, I last fetched Spiritual Spring Water half a month ago, then one day suddenly I couldn’t get in anymore."
"Due to... pregnancy?"
"Uncertain. But no living being apart from me can enter the Storage Ring Space, so... perhaps... it was half a month ago that night, don’t you remember?"
Yelyu Lie suddenly recalled that night half a month ago.
From night till dawn.
The side of the bed was too dim, so he carried his little darling to the window edge...
And that was the time, the oversight...
Yelyu Lie was filled with remorse, but now it was too late to say anything.
He held her arms, stared seriously at her deeply sunken foxy eyes, "Nuannuan, do you know how old the child is?"
Yun Chunnuan didn’t dare ask but had to, "How old?"
"Three months! Possibly... even longer! Nuannuan, oh, what should we do, what should we do... I’m doomed!"
He truly deserved this!
Why does she have to bear this pain alone?
Why can he only watch, unable to do anything?
At this moment, Yelyu Lie felt as if his heart would shatter.
If deducing from the time his little wife couldn’t enter the Storage Ring Space, then she conceived this child at that time.
Half a month, merely half a month.
But the fetus in her abdomen was already nearly three months!
This was no longer a multiple-fold speed...
Time flies, inciting fear and unease.
In a week, Yun Chunnuan has become even more thin than before.
Her once rosy cheeks are now only hollow, hair falling in clumps, she can’t even leave the bed.
Her flat abdomen enlarges visibly.
On her emaciated body, it doesn’t look like an expectant mother, but rather like a tumor, hard, seemingly a stone.
Yun Chunnuan dares not look in the mirror, nor let her husband see her like this.
The small bed from before marriage is once again in use, the bed canopy drawn daily, blocking everything outside.
Yelyu Lie apart from daily delivering food and water, if he gets close, the little figure inside would voice fear, telling him to leave, to go away.
Yun Chunnuan eats desperately, even if she vomits afterwards, she still strives to eat.
And Yelyu Lie apart from this invisible, untouchable companionship daily, has dispatched every usable spy from the Yecheng Bureau to seek out renowned doctors across the entire Qingxuan Continent.
Nanqi’s letters, constantly sent out...
