Wen Huai raised his hand and pointed at Bai Xiao with a trembling finger. She asked Hu Ke in disbelief, “You saw him just now! You’re not with him, are you? Where’s the child? Is it his too?”

Hu Ke looked at Wen Huai and nodded solemnly.

The next second, she heard Wen Huai’s wail.

“Ah—my child has grown up. She doesn’t even tell me anything! She doesn’t love me anymore!”

Hu Ke hurriedly covered Wen Huai’s mouth. Wen Huai was used to being carefree, but this was outside after all. It was not good to affect others.

Hu Ke gestured as she explained to Wen Huai. In order not to make Wen Huai agitated again, she deliberately hid the fact that she had been drugged by Hu Lai. She only said that it was because her family owed too much money. Marrying Bai Xiao and having children could save them.

Bai Xiao could not understand sign language, so he watched the two of them talk from the side.

Wen Huai was silent for a long time after Hu Ke finished explaining.

Hu Ke looked at her uneasily, afraid that Wen Huai would blame her for not cherishing himself.

Unexpectedly, Wen Huai raised his hand and pulled Hu Ke into his arms. Her heart ached as he said, “If only I had known about these things earlier. I would have gone home to take over the company. At least I wouldn’t have let you suffer so much. You have to get married and have children so early.”

Hu Ke smiled at Wen Huai. At this moment, she clearly realized exactly how close Wen Huai was to her. She also understood that she always had a solid backing like Wen Huai.

Ever since her family went bankrupt, many of her former friends had distanced themselves from her. Hu Ke also knew that they were just afraid of being implicated, so she consciously cut off contact with many of her friends.

It was not until later, after arguing with Bai Xiao and having nowhere to go, that she remembered Wen Huai and 1943.

Bai Xiao was getting impatient and shouted, “Are you guys done chatting?”

“Hurry up and go to the hospital with your husband for a checkup. Don’t let the fetus be hurt.” Wen Huai smiled and pushed Hu Ke, urging her to leave quickly.

Hu Ke nodded at her before walking towards Bai Xiao.

The two of them did not speak along the way, but the atmosphere in the car was much better than before. At least, they did not draw their swords like before.

When she arrived at the hospital, Bai Xiao had already informed the staff in advance. As soon as she entered, the medical staff surrounded her and brought her to do some checkups.

Bai Xiao took the opportunity to send a message to the bodyguards who had gone to the police station.

[Detain her for a longer period.]

[Yes, boss.]

After Hu Ke was done, she was brought to Bai Xiao.

The director personally took the examination report and showed it to Bai Xiao. “Mr. Bai, Madam’s body is still fine. There are no major problems. The fetus has some signs of a miscarriage. Don’t let Madam’s emotions fluctuate too much for the next few days. Take good care of her. She can start eating folic acid and take note of her calcium supplement. When it’s convenient for you next week, come and check again to ensure her safety.”

Bai Xiao gestured for the bodyguards to put away the checklist and nutritional supplements and thanked the director.

The director smiled and said that this was his duty, so he took his leave.

Bai Xiao turned to look at Hu Ke and remembered the doctor’s instructions. In the end, he could not say anything harsh. He only sighed. “Let’s go. Grandpa wants to see you.”

Bai Zheng’s ward was on the third floor of the hospital, the cardiovascular department.

Hu Ke followed Bai Xiao into the elevator in a daze. Only then did she remember that it was not good for him to visit a patient empty-handed, so she lowered his head and typed a message to Bai Xiao.

[I have to bring a gift to see the patient. Isn’t it bad for me to go empty-handed?]

The elevator had already arrived. Bai Xiao walked out first. “It’s fine. Just don’t spout nonsense.”

Then, he suddenly realized that not being able to speak might be Hu Ke’s sore spot, so he added, “Sorry.”

Hu Ke was used to such things. She obediently followed Bai Xiao to the ward.

Bai Xiao led the way. When he saw Hu Ke’s obedient appearance, he could not help but smile.

She was probably frightened. If only she would be so obedient in the future.

The Bai family had plenty of money and power, and the wards they used also had to be the best.

When the two of them arrived, Bai Zheng was watching the television excitedly. Bai Xiao was the first to enter and greeted Bai Zheng with a smile, “Grandpa, I brought Xiao Ke to see you.”
