After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Chen Mo turned around, leaned against the balcony railing, and then slowly lowered his head.

He held the phone between his long, slender fingers, gently turned it with his other hand, and sighed.

"The call just now was from Qin Su."

"They're still in the hospital; they won't be able to go home tonight."

"He told us to take good care of Qin Shuyi, talk to her, and send her back to school tomorrow afternoon."

"Since she wants to board at school and doesn't want to live at home, then let her continue boarding at school!"

Lan Yujuan leaned her shoulder against the man next to her, listening attentively to what he was saying.

Although everything Chen Mo said was related to Qin Shuyi.

However, she still sensed something was wrong; Chen Mo must have something he hadn't said.

"How's my sister? Is she alright in the hospital? What's her condition now?" Lan Yujuan asked tentatively in a low voice.

Chen Mo paused in his hand as he turned his phone, raised his hand to scratch his temple, and shook his head slightly.

"She's not doing well."

Even Chen Mo couldn't help but take a deep breath when Chen Feifei's condition was mentioned.

"She is getting on in years, and her health has not been very good since she became pregnant."

"Previously, I received treatment at the hospital for a period of time. The fetus's development was relatively normal, and all indicators were barely within acceptable limits."

Lan Yujuan stood to the side listening, her hands hanging by her sides unconsciously clenching into fists, her heart also becoming tense.

"Yesterday afternoon, the mother and daughter had a big fight."

"No one knows the specific reason for their argument except for the two of them."

"In the evening, Chen Feifei felt unwell in her stomach and suddenly developed a high fever. Her aunt found out and quickly took her to the hospital."

"When we got to the hospital and completed the tests, we found that... the fetal heartbeat had stopped."

When Lan Yujuan heard the last four words clearly, her shoulders trembled with fright.

Her voice began to drift and ethereal, "Ah, how could this happen so suddenly..."

Lan Yujuan knew very well how much Chen Feifei and Qin Su cared about this unborn child.

She even felt that the arrival of this child was very likely to become the glue that held together the broken relationships within the Qin family.

Having gone through decades of separations and reunions, as well as the setbacks and lessons learned during the birth of the first two children, there is a possibility that these lessons can be learned when raising a third child.

The old lady of the Qin family, who used to be a "wicked mother-in-law," is now old and sick, and can no longer cause trouble.

I heard that Chen Feifei is pregnant again, and I am filled with joy and anticipation.

Not to mention Chen Feifei and Qin Su, a married couple.

For the sake of this child, the two of them are putting aside their work as much as possible.

Having lost so much, I cherish this chance to start over all the more.

But no one expected that fate would play such a cruel joke on the two of them!

It's not that I can't get pregnant, nor that I miscarried.

Instead, the fetal heartbeat suddenly stopped.

Chen Mo turned his head to look at the void on the other side and whispered:

"The first surgery has been scheduled for tomorrow morning."

"After the surgery, you will be observed in the hospital for three to five days. Then you will be discharged and go home to recuperate."

Lan Yujuan didn't know how to comfort Chen Mo with words.

He was caught in the middle, with relatives on both sides.

She thought for a moment, then said nothing, simply turned to him and gently hugged him.

Chen Mo's body stiffened, and after a while, he gradually relaxed.

Then he reached out and hugged her back, gently resting his chin on the top of her head, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Don't tell Qin Shuyi about Chen Feifei's miscarriage for now."

"Anyway, she should be going back to school tomorrow afternoon."

"By the time she returns home next month, Chen Feifei's health should have recovered sufficiently."

"Let the mother and daughter resolve their own issues through communication."

Lan Yujuan leaned against him and nodded, "Yes, I know."

She certainly knew the ins and outs of this kind of thing.

Even if she knew everything, she couldn't just rashly interfere.

"Cough, cough!"

Suddenly, a soft cough came from the direction of the living room.

Lan Yujuan recognized her father's voice and quickly crawled out of Chen Mo's arms, tidying her stray hairs as she did so.

After a while, sure enough, Mr. Lan slowly walked towards the balcony.

"Have you two finished talking?"

Lan Yujuan nodded in agreement, "Yes, more or less."

Mr. Lan put his hands behind his back, glanced at his daughter, and then calmly said:

"Now that you've finished talking, let's go inside and eat."

Whether you're hungry or not, just grab a quick bite and have a light snack before bed.

When Lan's parents heard that the couple had gone out to look for someone that night, they were worried that they wouldn't find the person and that the couple would get so anxious that they would forget to eat dinner.

After discussing it, the two decided that even though they had already eaten dinner, they would use the excuse of taking the children home to buy groceries on the way and come over early to cook for them.

The food was kept warm on the stove in the kitchen, so that when they got home, they could just take it out and eat it right away.

When Qin Shuyi came out after drying her hair, the food was just being served.

The little girl was initially a bit awkward, but when serving the rice, she specifically asked her mother to serve her less.

"Grandma, I had dinner at a fast food restaurant tonight."

"Could you please serve me a smaller portion? I'll just have a couple of bites."

However, Qin Shuyi immediately contradicted herself after picking up her chopsticks.

"tasty."

"This is delicious too!"

"Grandma, I want another bowl..."

The whole family was amused by her greedy little face.

When Lan's mother saw that the little girl enjoyed the food she had prepared, she was also happy.

Only Chen Mo sat in the corner, serving food to his wife while simultaneously undermining Qin Shuyi.

"Who just said they had already eaten dinner?"

Qin Shuyi hummed in a nasal tone while gnawing on a rib:

"I don't really like the food at that fast food restaurant."

"Besides, I didn't have any money on me, so I asked the proprietress to let me pay on credit, and I felt embarrassed to eat too much..."

"Oh, by the way, Uncle, remember to settle my bill tomorrow!"

Upon hearing the words "buy on credit," Chen Mo frowned slightly.

"Qin Shuyi, you're really something!"

He immediately put down his chopsticks and was about to grab his phone.

Seeing this, Lan Yujuan quickly said:

"Don't call anymore. I've already paid for the fast food."

"Let's eat while the food is still hot!"

After the three of them finished eating, Lan Yujuan persuaded her parents to stay the night, as there were spare rooms in room 802 next door.

At first, the elderly couple refused to go home; they just wanted to sleep in familiar surroundings. They felt more at ease sleeping there.

"It's not far anyway, we can just stroll back!"

Seeing that her persuasion was useless, Lan Yujuan stopped trying and just gave Chen Mo a look.

Chen Mo immediately understood, picked up his car keys, and got up.

"Don't worry, I'll take Mom and Dad home and be back in a bit."

After the elderly couple left, Lan Yujuan felt that the whole house suddenly became empty and desolate.

Before, when I lived alone with my daughter, it was much quieter than it is now, but I never felt this way.

Today, her parents only came for a short visit, and when they left, she felt a sense of loss and something was not quite right.

"Auntie, you are so lucky!"

Unbeknownst to her, Qin Shuyi had quietly crept over, her eyes filled with envy as she looked at Lan Yujuan closing the door.

She had never experienced this kind of unconditional love and pampering from her parents before...
