A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

Xia Ling coldly laughed. “The only reason why I’m not eating the food you made is because I’m thinking about my child.”

Not only did she not dare to eat anything, but she also did not even dare to touch any ready-made items in the kitchen. She was being paranoid, but she could not risk letting the smallest problem affect her child anymore.

She stood up and left the dining hall.

She was so hungry that she felt heartburn. She went to the room to look for a thick coat to wrap around her body, put on sunglasses, and covered up most of her face before she went to the nearby supermarket to buy something.

She bought items like sealed mineral water, instant noodles, ham, and milk.

She brought them back to the villa and turned on the gas stove as she wanted to heat them before she ate.      You’re reading on AllNovel .Tks!

Nanny Zhou was distressed looking at her. How could a pregnant woman eat those things? She wanted to persuade her, but she realized that she had long lost the ability to do so. “Mister, how about you replace me?” Nanny Zhou resolutely said. “Miss Ye doesn’t trust me. If you replace me with someone new, perhaps she will be willing to eat again.”

“This is not something you should worry about.” Pei Ziheng’s voice was low.

Thus, Nanny Zhou did not dare to speak again. However, she felt extremely guilty. It was her who wronged Miss Ye!

In actuality, Pei Ziheng understood that things would remain the same even if he replaced her. As long as it was someone Pei Ziheng assigned, the person would never gain Xia Ling’s trust. Although his Xiao Ling was sometimes foolish, she was very clear about certain things. She definitely knew that every wrong had its cause. She could not really blame Nanny Zhou for the abortion medicine.

Xiao Ling was just throwing a tantrum in front of him.

Pei Ziheng was unhappy and only coldly looked at Xia Ling preparing as she prepared her dinner without reprimanding her.

As she was clumsy and accidentally knocked over the pot, the boiling hot water splashed out, and an earth-shattering bang was heard. The kitchen was in a mess. All of the food she had bought was wasted.

Xia Ling only felt that her hand was aching. With a closer look, she realized that a big blister had formed on her thin wrist.

She looked at the blister and the mess around her in shock. Suddenly, she felt that she was really stupid. She could not do anything and could not even cook a meal well. How could she face her baby? The more she thought about it, the more sorrowful, indignant, and helpless she felt. As if she had lost all of her strength, she held her injured hand and slowly crouched down.

Pei Ziheng looked at everything coldly and whispered something to Nanny Zhou.

Soon, Nanny Zhou brought over a medicine box.

Pei Ziheng opened it and took out disinfectant, gauze, and other things. He ignored the mess as he walked towards Xia Ling and squatted down. “Show me your hand.”

Xia Ling shrank back her hand, lowered her head, and nasally rebuked. “I don’t need your help.”

Pei Ziheng frowned. “Blisters will leave a scar.”

Xia Ling trembled and suddenly realized why Pei Ziheng did not say a word to her the entire day since he got back home but suddenly became concerned about her injury. She lifted her head and stared at Pei Ziheng with red eyes. “Pei Ziheng, do you only care about whether there will be a scar on my hand? Do you not care about the child’s life at all?” She wept, almost about to break down. “I hate you, I hate you!”

The emotions of pregnant women were never stable, to begin with. Furthermore, she was provoked many times.

Pei Ziheng was upset, but he resisted the urge to argue with her. He forcefully pulled her hand over and applied the medicine on her.

After that, he wrapped her wound using a white bandage.

Xia Ling could not fight him and was half forced to let him bandage her wound with tears still flowing down her face. She cried until her shoulders shivered, and her body curled up in fear and helplessness.

“I’ll take you out to eat.” Pei Ziheng hated to see her cry. In the end, he could not bear to see her in tears.

Xia Ling relentlessly shook her head as she wept and pushed him away. “Go away!”

His slight tenderness and sympathy immediately disappeared. He abandoned Xia Ling as he stood up and coldly instructed Nanny Zhou. “Ignore her. Let her starve to death!”

Nanny Zhou became even more worried. She was so anxious that she almost stamped her feet.

Xia Ling was still hungry. After crying for a while, she went out to buy dinner. She went to the same supermarket and bought a frozen lunch box this time. As she did not dare to take it back to heat it up herself, she asked the staff for help.

Unexpectedly, she was recognized by the store employee.

“Ye Xingling. You’re Ye Xingling, right?!” The store employee said excitedly. “Can you give me an autograph?”

Xia Ling was taken back. The store employee was loud and caused several customers nearby to turn around to look at her. It was human nature for people to gather around celebrities. Many people’s eyes were shining as they rushed to surround her.

Xia Ling knew that she was in an unlucky situation. Without buying her sandwiches, she immediately ran out. After running a few steps, her stomach started to hurt again. It was a terrible pain for pregnant women.

Her face turned pale, and she regretted running. She hurriedly flagged for a taxi beside the road and said to the drive, “Go to Huaxin Mother and Child Specialist Hospital.”

The driver quickly sent her to the hospital’s emergency room.

An old senior professor like Senior Zhang was not on duty during the emergency night shift. The doctor who examined her was young. He recognized her as a celebrity, so he was excited and happy. However, the doctor already knew that Ye Xingling had already been doing birth checks here and would have a child here in the future. Thus, seeing her was not very unexpected. Although he was excited, he maintained good professionalism and carefully checked her.

“There are slight signs of miscarriage. Miss Ye, you can’t do any strenuous exercise anymore.” The young doctor said. “I recommend that you stay in the hospital for the sake of your child. Tomorrow, when Senior Zhang comes to work, he will do an even more detailed diagnosis and treatment.”

Anything that happened to the child was a big deal.

Xia Ling nodded and followed the doctor’s advice and stayed in the hospital.

Even though she was just discharged in the afternoon.

“I want… to eat something.” In the ward, she was a little embarrassed as she spoke to the head nurse who came to see her. “I didn’t eat anything for lunch and dinner.”

The head nurse was shocked. “With the condition you are in now, how could you not take care of your body? You should at least eat three meals a day on time. You can’t do this anymore in the future.”

Xia Ling obediently listened to her lecture.

The head nurse turned away and went out. Soon, she gave her a lunch box. “It’s the middle of the night, so the hospital cafeteria has already been closed. The nearby restaurants use unhealthy oil, so you can’t eat food from there as well. If you don’t mind, you can eat this meal. I’m working overnight today, so my husband made this as supper for me. It’s very clean.”

Xia Ling was very grateful. She thanked her and took the lunch box.

When she opened it, it was a very simple homemade stir-fried white rice stem and sliced meat. However, Xia Ling could tell that a lot of effort was put into making it. Every piece of white rice steam and meat was cut thinly and evenly and looked tasty.

After tasting it, she felt that it was quite delicious.
