A Star Reborn: The Queen's Return

What, miscarriage?

She could not believe it, and her eyes widened at the doctor, as if she could not understand what the doctor had just said. There was no sense of truth. Her dry, petal-like lips twitched and she wanted to say something, but the effect of the anesthesia gradually developed, and soon, she fell into darkness.

When she woke up, she saw the white ceiling of the ward and the glass hanging bottle.

Madam Xia was holding her hand and sitting beside the bed, a hint of a dark green shadow at the bottom of her eyes.

Xia Ling called out, “Mom.” Her voice was so hoarse and weak that it was almost inaudible.

Madam Xia heard it, however. She looked up and, seeing that she had woken up, showed her a tired yet joyful smile. “Xiao Ling, you’ve woken up? It’s a relief that you’re fine, I’ll call the doctor to check on you.”

She said, reaching out and pressing the call bell on the bedpost.

Xia Ling gently touched her hand. “Where’s Li Lei?” She knew Li Lei better than anyone else. If he was fine, he would surely have stayed at her side without leaving. But now he was missing, so his injuries must be really serious. However, she hoped so badly that she had guessed it wrong. She looked at her mother’s eyes with a hint of hope.

Madam Xia couldn’t bear to look at her. She held her daughter’s hand and said in the most compassionate tone, “You know the situation at the time, he was injured. When you were sent to the surgery room, he was sent to the rescue room as well. He is still recuperating in the hospital bed, and it’s estimated that he will wake up in a few days.”

She breathed a sigh of relief first. Great, he did not die.

Immediately, her heart rose to her throat again. He had not yet woken up from a coma?

She looked at her mother and said, “I want to see him.”

Madam Xia stopped her. “Your body is still very weak. The doctor has instructed for you to not walk around. What if you develop the root of a disease and cannot give birth to children anymore?”

Hearing that, Xia Ling fell silent.

She only started feeling an emptiness in her body at that moment. She could not help but grieve at the thought of her daughter whom she had been pregnant with for three or four months being gone just like this. It was her own carelessness. When she had come out from Pei Ziheng’s ward, she should have stayed in the same place and waited for Li Lei, or, or what... She did not know. She gently loosened her mother’s hand and covered her soft belly, shedding tears uncontrollably.

Madam Xia also wiped her tears in sadness. “You are still young, you just have to take care of your body and you will be able to have children in the future.”

Xia Ling did not want her mother to be sad, so she stopped her tears with much difficulty and changed the topic. “What about my brother?” When she had been shackled on the steel rope, she had heard that her brother was also there.

Madam Xia thought of her son and her expression darkened. “Your brother was injured by the beast Li Feng, and he has been lying in the hospital bed for a few days already. But now it’s no longer a problem. The doctor said that he can recover completely in a few days. Oh yes, his ward is just next door to you. I’ll tell him to come and see you.”

Xia Ling found it strange. “Is this not the gynaecology department?”

The general hospital inpatient department was divided according to departments. As she had a miscarriage surgery, she must be in the inpatient department of gynecology to rest. But what about Xia Moyan? No matter what injury he had, it was not possible for him to be here.

Madam Xia smiled. “Stupid child, you are in the VIP ward on the top floor of the inpatient department. This floor is quiet, and you were supposed to stay here alone, but your brother missed you and hence, asked to come here to rest. Who dares not to give him face?” Rich people naturally had privileges, not to mention important people like Xia Moyan who had the world in his palm.

Hearing that, Xia Ling nodded.

Madam Xia got up and was about to call her son when suddenly, Xia Ling asked, “What about Li Lei’s ward?”

Madam Xia’s footsteps swayed slightly, and she turned around, bringing a sway of her fringed shawl. “He is in the ward of the building next door, with the Li family accompanying him. Everything is well, you can rest assured.”

Xia Ling frowned, feeling as though something was wrong.

However, after thinking for a long time, there was still no conclusion. Xia Moyan had already come in wearing a hospital gown. It was rare to see him like this, no longer dressed in a white coat. The blue and white stripes were very casual on him, and the top two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, revealing a little of his collarbone.

Even though she was his sister, Xia Ling still felt a little amazed.

Why had she never found out before just how beautiful and provocative her brother was! It was obviously a loose hospital gown, but the way he wore it with a little laziness and abstinence was alluring, making people...

Making people...

Xia Ling silently used her hands to cover her eyes. “Brother, you are so handsome.”

He was so handsome that she could not stand it anymore.

Xia Moyan did not expect her first sentence to be this, and with a smile on his cold eyes, he teased her deliberately. “I look good, or the one in your family looks good?”

“Li Lei is the most handsome!” Xia Ling did not hesitate to change her tune.

At the side, Madam Xia laughed out. Seeing the face of her son who had always been cold turn slightly black, she could not help but smile while saying, “Xiao Mo even said that he would live next to you to guard you. In the end, when he was not here on this floor the area was quiet and peaceful, but the moment he moved here, this floor was almost smashed by all the nurses trying to grab his attention!”

The little nurses did not care about The Preceptor. Given their level, they would not understand what this title meant. They only knew that there was a handsome guy in the VIP room on the top floor. He was very handsome, very handsome, rich and handsome, with a perfect body... In the past few days, almost all the nurses in the hospital had come under the pretense of having to check the rooms, find the doctor, change shifts, send lunch boxes, and various other reasons just to check out Xia Moyan again and again. Several nurses responsible for his bed were even more excessive. Every day, in order to fight for who was responsible for changing his medicine, the girls would almost fight. The girl who had garnered the opportunity would be extremely excited, and while changing his medicine, they would take the opportunity to stare at his body in plain sight, taking advantage of him...

Xia Moyan was almost driven crazy.

Madam Xia, however, was only too happy to see this. She felt as though she could finally advertise for her cold and abstinent child, so she refused to let him stop the nurses from touching him. Hence, he could only... endure.

Because this was the only fun that the mother could have while being worried about his sister.

Xia Moyan went to stand beside his sister’s bed and bent over to look at her. “Awake? Now that you’re awake, follow me to recuperate back at the village and settle the hospital procedures to leave.”

Xia Ling blinked her eyes and was a little stunned. “What’s the hurry? Li Lei has not woken up yet.”

Xia Moyan said with a black expression, “I will not stay here and be harassed by the nurse gang anymore. Moreover, the air in the village is good, and the food and water quality are better than here. It will be very beneficial to your recovery.”

Xia Ling shook her head firmly. “Then you go back first. I won’t, I have to wait for Li Lei.”

She said while looking at her brother up and down. “Mom said that you were injured by Li Feng, where is the injury? Is it heavy? It looks like you’ve recovered?”

Xia Moyan secretly grinded his teeth. This sister finally remembered to care about him?
