After Huo Shao Ting and his two sisters left the ward, the Old Madam only sat down on the chair in front of the hospital bed and took out some tissues to wipe away Rong Dai's tears.
Rong Dai's eyes were very red. In just one night, she had lost all her spirit.
She looked dispirited, like an eggplant that had been frosted.
"Granny...I'm sorry."
Although Rong Dai was heartbroken, she was not in a state of complete collapse.
She only dared to be willful and act coquettishly in front of Huo Shao Ting.
Even in front of the Old Madam who had always stood up for her, she did not dare.
The interactions between people were just so strange.
"Silly girl, that's not something you should say."
Seeing her cry like this, the Old Madam also felt very distressed.
"It's Granny who didn't fulfill her duties. You're still young. Granny should have talked to you about some things in advance."
The Old Madam held her hand and explained to her earnestly.
Rong Dai pursed her lips tightly as tears rolled down her cheeks silently again.
How could she not know?
In her previous life, although she had no fortune to become a mother, she still had some perception when she was pregnant.
But this time she did not notice anything, and had been so willful, which led to such a big mistake.
If she had been more careful and perceptive, or if she had gone to the hospital for an examination earlier, this might not have happened.
"Granny knows you are heartbroken. Granny knows you are a good girl."
"It's just that this child was not meant to be yours and Shao Ting's. Our Huo family was not fortunate enough to be this child's relatives."
"What is meant to be will come, what is meant to be ours will be ours."
The Old Madam gently patted her slender hand to comfort her.
"The doctor told Granny that your body was not well rested during the filming. This child was unlucky and the gestational sac was inherently poorly developed from the beginning, so it could not be kept."
"You are heartbroken, and Shao Ting is also heartbroken because of you."
"Now that the child is gone, he would not bear to see you so sad either."
"Take good care of yourself, rest well. Children are a gift from heaven. You are a good girl. Heaven will not miss your share."
The Old Madam's comfort rekindled a flame of hope in Rong Dai's heart. She stared at the Old Madam with tears in her eyes and asked sobbingly, "Really?"
She thought she was lucky.
Meeting the Huo family, Shao Ting's gentleness, understanding, respect and spoiling of her, she thought she could have happiness.
But she did not expect that just as she was treading on the clouds of bliss, the nightmare came so unexpectedly and caught her off guard!
"Of course it's true."
The Old Madam looked at her kindly and nodded.
Rong Dai couldn't help but her eyes turned slightly redder. She was really afraid.
With the inferior medical skills in her previous life, the pain of losing that child and the moment before entering the operating room last night, all her buried memories came flooding back.
Even now, the memories were still fresh in her mind.
She was afraid that because of the sins of her previous life, she would have to repay them in this life.
"Don't worry, you are still young. Rest well, keep your spirits up. Granny won't rush you. Let's just let nature take its course."
Seeing that her emotions had eased a little, the Old Madam exhorted her again.
Rong Dai obediently nodded. Perhaps it was because of the IV drip and from crying too hard, her face looked very tired.
"If you’re sleepy then rest well. Lu Zheng is stewing soup for you at home. When you wake up, you can drink it nice and hot.”
The Old Madam affectionately patted her head and tucked the quilt snugly around her.
Rong Dai was indeed sleepy. Not daring to think about the child anymore, she closed her eyes obediently and went to sleep.
Only after she had fallen asleep did the Old Madam leave the ward.
