Liang Anya lovingly stroked her belly, her face radiating with the warm glow of maternity: "Yes, last time during the prenatal check-up, the doctor also said it’s good to get out and move about for the baby’s benefit, and it should make the delivery go smoother. These past few days, I feel like the baby’s been moving more too."

That’s great, as long as it’s beneficial for the heir, anything goes!

The subordinate nodded: "Yeah, that’s good. I’ll accompany Miss Liang to the vegetable market then."

Although the people from Beiming Hall had grown quite trusting of Liang Anya, and the vegetable market was not far from the entrance of the residential area, Liang Anya still had someone following her every day when she went to buy vegetables.

In the last few days, Liang Anya hadn’t refused this, and along the way, she would even chat with the subordinate for a bit.

Today was no exception. Liang Anya obediently walked to the nearby vegetable market with the subordinate, chatting as they walked.

As they were about to reach the vegetable market, her hand slipped, and she touched her handbag, suddenly exclaiming in a fluster, "Oh no."

"What’s the matter, Miss Liang?" The subordinate hurriedly asked.

"I didn’t bring my wallet," said Liang Anya with a pained expression.

The subordinate took out a wallet, pulled out a card, and handed it over: "Miss Liang, no worries, I have a card."

"Ah, but this is a vegetable market, they don’t take cards."

The subordinate was taken aback, remembered he had some cash, and immediately took it out.

Liang Anya glanced at it and shook her head again: "US Dollars? Who uses US Dollars to buy vegetables at the market? The vendors won’t accept it."

The common currency in A Country is the US Dollar. After coming to China, the subordinates, following the Hall Master, seldom had a chance to spend, and if they did, they would use cards and hadn’t exchanged for China’s local currency.

At this time, the bank was already closed and couldn’t exchange money, leaving the subordinate in a pickle.

Liang Anya held her waist, pushing out her belly, and sighed: "Never mind, I’ll go back and get my wallet. It’s just a bit tiring but that can’t be helped. Who would’ve thought pregnancy could make one so forgetful, sigh, truly pregnancy brain... Let’s go."

The subordinate, afraid she might tire herself, quickly said: "Miss Liang, just wait here, I’ll run back to Green Island Garden and get your wallet for you."

Liang Anya intentionally blinked, playing hard to get: "Didn’t your Hall Master say it? To watch me at all times. I’ll go back with you, so you won’t worry. It’s okay, it’s just a few more steps to walk, a bit of hardship, I won’t go into labor over that."

Upon hearing this, the subordinate became even more reluctant to let her go back again: "No problem."

Not keeping an eye on Miss Liang all the time, the Hall Master might scold me.

But if Miss Liang becomes tired and stresses the baby, I couldn’t bear the responsibility for that.

Moreover, Miss Liang has been behaving so well these days, there shouldn’t be any issues.

Only then did Liang Anya say: "Alright, I’ll wait here for you then."

The subordinate swiftly turned and walked toward Green Island Garden.

Watching the back of the Beiming Hall subordinate disappear from her sight, Liang Anya immediately dialed a phone number: "Hello, I’m at the entrance to the vegetable market."

Not a minute after hanging up the phone, a taxi drove over, apparently having been called in advance and waiting nearby for a while.

Liang Anya opened the car door, got in, and said to the driver: "Hurry, to Renxin Hospital!"

The taxi immediately sped away toward the destination.

Liang Anya turned to look back at the car, let out a sigh, and then curled her mouth.

Heh, playing games with me? Still too green!

The acting these days seemed to have been effective.

First, it lowered the vigilance of Beiming Hall against her, making them less wary, then she secretly booked an abortion surgery at the hospital online and arranged for a taxi to wait for her outside the market. Finally, she seized the opportunity while shopping for vegetables to slip away and head to the hospital to resolve—

Going to the larger public hospitals in the city, she didn’t feel secure, afraid that it might be easy for him to find her.

Renxin is the most secure private hospital in Yunling, it should be fine.

She touched her round belly, feeling incredibly content.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of Renxin Hospital.

After getting out of the car, Liang Anya headed straight inside and approached the information desk: "Nurse, I made an online appointment for an abortion surgery today."

Having said that, she reported her appointment number.

The nurse looked through the information and then looked up, scrutinizing Liang Anya: "Miss Liang Anya, you have an appointment for an abortion surgery, right?"

"Right, right, right," Liang Anya was so eager to proceed.

The nurse’s gaze flickered strangely, and with an outstretched hand, she led Liang Anya inside: "Okay, good, Miss Liang, please follow me."

Liang Anya was almost moved to tears, with sunlight ahead, she followed the nurse to the outside of the operating room.

"Miss Liang, please wait here, I’ll go call the doctor," said the nurse before leaving.

Liang Anya sat on the bench with an excited heart, waiting for the moment of liberation.

But for some reason, along with excitement, there was a touch of inexplicable bewilderment.

Finally, the child was about to be aborted...

For the past few months, she had desperately wanted to have this abortion, but why at this moment did she feel a faint loss and reluctance?

Perhaps it was because the baby had been in her belly for half a year.

Even two roommates living together would develop feelings after half a year.

Liang Anya sighed softly: "Little baby, it’s not that Mommy doesn’t want you, it’s just because you were conceived by accident, and it’s impossible for Mommy to marry your daddy. Even if you were born, you would live in a single-parent family, lacking your father’s love for your whole life... So, it’s better for you to be reborn in a happy family with both parents. Also, please don’t hate Mommy, if anyone, hate your biological father, he’s the real scumbag..."

Time slipped by.

Having waited for a long time without seeing the doctor, she started to feel anxious.

Eventually, Liang Anya couldn’t hold back any longer, stood up, and approached a nurse at the nurse station: "A nurse earlier said she would call the doctor, how come they haven’t come yet?"

The nurse glanced at her and said deliberately: "Miss Liang, right? Please wait a little longer. They might arrive at any moment."

Liang Anya had no choice but to sit back down and continue waiting.

As time ticked away, with no doctor in sight, she finally rushed to the nurse station again: "Nurse, are you just stalling for time... When exactly will you perform the surgery for me——"

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the nurses’ faces inside the nurse station turn solemn as if they’d seen someone, and they spoke with deep respect: "Mr. Si."

Excuse~me? Mr. Si?

Liang Anya’s heart thumped violently, and as she turned around, it felt as if someone had poured cold water all over her!

The elevator doors weren’t yet closed, and Si Yuheng had already strode out with a dark expression, heading straight toward her!

"You... why are you here..." Liang Anya stuttered.

Why couldn’t this man just leave her alone!

Si Yuheng snapped his fingers, and the nurses in the station tactfully retreated.

Liang Anya suddenly understood!

He must have already left his information with the hospitals in Yunling City, giving a heads-up to prevent her from acting on the idea of aborting the child!

As soon as the nurses at Renxin Hospital saw her, they immediately notified him.

The reason she had been made to wait for so long was indeed to stall for time!
