บท 467: The Fragile Peace

Xia Ling was so terrified that she did not dare to rebut him anymore.

She stopped waking up in the night to care for the child. However, in the middle of the night, she would still wake suddenly in fright, before tossing and turning in bed unable to sleep.

Pei Ziheng would wake up from her restlessness and ask, "What's up again?"

She would say softly. "I think I heard the child crying."

Pei Ziheng gave an irritated "Hmph."

Hence, Xia Ling did not dare move around anymore, forcing herself to try to sleep. Often, she would lie awake with her eyes open till morning, and she started to look even frailer than before.

Pei Ziheng had no choice but to allow her to wake in the middle of the night to care for the child.

After all, he wanted her to be well and to take care of her health. The doctor said that if she wasn't healthy, there was a chance that she would never get pregnant again. Pei Ziheng could not allow that to happen.
