Guodong, Li Xue, and Jing Chu all came in as well.
"Xue'er, why did you come? Guodong, take Xue back. You're not needed here. Stay with her at home."
"Second Aunt, wasn't my sister-in-law doing fine this morning?"
"Yes, but she twisted herself getting off the kang. In this situation, it's not safe to go to the hospital. Besides, with Doctor Xie here, we can just have the baby at home.
Xue'er, you and Guodong should go back. It's not good for you to be here."
"Sister-in-law, you and my brother head back. I'll stay here, and when the baby is born, I'll run back to let you know."
"Okay, then I'll be going back." Hearing her sister-in-law's cries from inside, Li Xue was quite scared.
Tao Yanzhen lowered her head as soon as Guodong came in, fearing she'd lose her composure.
In that brief moment, she could see Li Xue's genuine happiness. She smiled bitterly to herself—that happiness wasn't hers.
