Chapter 358 - 304: She was the last one to know she was pregnant.
By the time it was one in the morning, Cen Jin still hadn’t woken up. The nurse said she might not have had a good rest for a long time but was pretty stable at the moment, likely in deep sleep. Jiang Baizhou then suggested that Miss Yu Hui and Ms. Qin should go back to rest and that he would stay here to watch over her. However, Ms. Qin refused, since this was her daughter and she couldn’t be at ease until she saw her awake.Miss Yu Hui also did not agree, so Ms. Qin said, "Hui Zi, you go back first! It’s enough that I’m here. If everyone stays here, nobody will get good sleep. Tomorrow morning we might have to trouble you to cook some porridge or something for Cen Jin. Bai Zhou, you too, you’ve worked a whole day and must be very tired. Just take your mom back too! Come back tomorrow to switch with me. Don’t forget, your burden is heavier than before now. Cen Jin has your child in her belly. If she’s exhausted herself, you definitely can’t collapse, otherwise, what will happen to her?"
"Yes, Mom is right." Jiang Baizhou actually wanted to stay, but Ms. Qin really made a good point. He had no choice but to agree, so he drove Miss Yu Hui back, and instead of returning to his apartment, he stayed at the villa.
At dawn, a thin layer of mist covered the outside, like a gauzy veil over the dark backdrop. A faint cinnabar red rose slowly from the east, gradually brightening the sky.
Lying on the hospital bed, Cen Jin gently fluttered her eyelashes and struggled slightly before she managed to open her eyes. What entered her sight was a patch of white and a faint antiseptic smell that lingered at her nose, making her frown and feel a bit nauseous as she lifted her hand to cover her lips. With her other hand, she propped herself up to sit, then realized where she was with a sudden clarity — she must be in a hospital!
As her gaze retracted, Cen Jin noticed the figure lying on the sofa, covered with a blanket that wasn’t very thick but wasn’t thin either. Her lips moved slightly, wanting to speak, but her throat was very dry, preventing her from making any sound.
Perhaps hearing her movement, Ms. Qin, who was asleep on the sofa, opened her eyes and saw that she was awake with one leg on the ground about to get up. She quickly threw off the blanket and got up to walk over, "Cen Jin, you’re awake? Is there anywhere uncomfortable? Do you want me to call the nurse?"
"Mom, I’m fine, I just want some water, my mouth is a bit dry." Seeing Ms. Qin’s anxious expression, Cen Jin couldn’t help but smile slightly, reaching out to grasp her arm, "Why am I in the hospital? And, Mom, why are you here?"
"Oh, you child, let me tell you." Ms. Qin glared at her angrily and turned to pour her some water, "You just have to wear yourself out to this extent to be happy? You’re an adult but still making me worry."
"Sorry! Mom, I’ll be more careful in the future." Cen Jin beamed, taking the cup and finishing it in one go.
"You better be."
"Why am I in the hospital?" As Cen Jin attempted to pour another cup, Ms. Qin snatched it away and poured her another one. Cen Jin smiled gracefully, took it again, and sipped lightly as she curiously asked.
"Yesterday, Bai Zhou and Ling Ran brought you to the hospital!"
"Oh, oh, then... where’s Jiang Baizhou?" Cen Jin’s gaze scanned the surroundings, not spotting that familiar silhouette, prompting her to ask tentatively.
"I asked him to go back yesterday, to come pick us up today. He worked a whole day and must be tired. You’re pregnant now, so you need to take better care of yourself. No more negligence. You too, can’t behave so willfully as before. You’re going to be a mom now, after all."
After listening to Ms. Qin’s words, Cen Jin paused her action of drinking, her eyes widening in disbelief. She almost choked on the water, coughing a few times, but felt relieved after Ms. Qin patted her back, "I... I’m pregnant?"
How come she didn’t know?
"Really, you, how could you be so careless, as grown-up as you are? Don’t you know if your period has come or not? Aren’t you aware to go to the hospital for a check-up? Thankfully nothing happened yesterday; what if something did? This is exactly because of your carelessness towards yourself. The doctor said you need to be more careful now. The first three months are the most prone to miscarriage, you know that?" Ms. Qin’s tone was filled with helpless anger towards her, picking up the ultrasound report from the table to show her, and continued, "Don’t worry so much about the studio matters. Your health and the baby’s are more important, got it? Besides, your mother-in-law brought you chicken soup and snacks last night. Are you hungry? I checked, and they are still warm. Want to give them a try?"
