"I am starting to worry about him now..."

Li Huiqing clutched his belly and looked around with clear worry. Li Chen knew that worry was not good in pregnancy and he stopped him.

"Calm down Ge, Doctor Han said that he visited her just a week ago no?"

Li Huiqing nodded and calmly looked for the house with Li Chen. 

They soon arrived in front of the door of the home they were supposed to find. Li Huiqing knocked on the door and a light voice answered.

"Who is it?"

Li Huiqing felt tears in his eyes. He quickly answered.

"Xiulan, It's me, Huiqing."

Soon the door opened and a wide-eyed person appeared. Li Huiqing looked at the famished Shu Xiulan, He looked like he has aged, Had an unkempt appearance, unlike his usual elegant one. He had dark circles under his eyes and looked so weak, that it caused heartache.

Even Li Chen felt sour, how could those bastards do this to his Ge and his friends! He must find and separate their limbs and throw their bones to monsters...I will tame monsters that will shred them into pieces, That's a good idea.

"Hui...It's You...How did you find me?"

"Lan, How can you leave without telling me anything?"

The two spoke at the same time and then laughed, Like this, they entered Shu Xiulan's home. the home couldn't be called home at all. It was just one room and bathroom. This place was suffocating.

'Not suitable for childbirth.'

Li Chen thought, He also found that this person Shu Xiulan was a cultivator. He was in the Core formation Realm, At the 4th stage. A bit weak than his Ge.

He then turned to the two talking.

"How can that be? I am sure that morning sickness will go away at the start of the 4th month."

"Doctor Han also don't know."

Li Chen interfered.

"What happened?"

Li Huiqing answered.

"Xiao Chen, Lan's morning sickness has still not resided but it worsened, He said he also feels dizzy these days."

"More like lightheaded."

"I am worried Lan..."

"Hui...I...This baby...I can't keep it.."

"Lan?!"

Li Chen's eyes became cold, yet he listened, What the excuse was of a parent to kill his unborn child.

"This child's life won't be easy...He will be condemned...all his life...I...Can't make it much farther...I think I won't be able to give birth to my baby safely..."

"Lan...Calm down...There must be a way..."

"Hui...I am scared...What if my child hates me? What if he leaves me? What if he dies before being born? I can't be a good parent Hui..."

"Lan..."

Li Chen smiled. This person was strong. He was strong in his own meaning. He knew there was a problem with him but he still kept the baby until now. He was judged but he braved through. But he is hesitating because this is his first time becoming a parent.

"Lan-Ge, May I call you that?"

"...Yes...And you are?"

Shu Xiulan had never seen this person before with Huiqing.

"I am Hui-Ge's little brother. Name is Li Chen, you can call me Xiao Chen."

"Little brother?"

"Yes."

"What is it, Xiao Chen?"

Li Chen looked at Li Huiqing who was also listening to him and had hope in his eyes. He reached out and touched the stomach of Li Huiqing.

"You see, This small angel inside my Ge will be my little Nephew or Niece, They will be born in this world with their mother looking over them. I am sure when this little angel will grow up, And then he will become my Ge's Pride and Joy."

"Lan-Ge, There is something you must know. This little life inside you still loves you and is not afraid to be born. Becoming scared is alright but why are you deciding for the little child?"

"...Ah..."

"Lan-Ge, Think about how the child will call you, Will it be mother or Father? How will that baby grow up like? How will he look like, How will he smile and depend on you? When he will be scared and lean on you. Lan-Ge, This child will have a family of his own and will give you Grandchildren. It will be thrilling no? You will always watch over him right?"

 Shu Xiulan was an abandoned child. He was very young when his father married another woman. His mother was broken and she couldn't help but also find another man. He was abandoned by both. He was only 6. Yet he had to find a way to survive. 

He felt envy whenever he looked at other families. He wanted one too. Yet, He grew bigger but he could not find his family. He only had Huiqing as a friend whose family also saw him as an eyesore. But he always regards Huiqing as his family. 

Now that he has become pregnant, He felt like he will have someone for his own yet he thought he was selfish, What if the child does not want him? What if the child was also disgusted by him?

Tears ran down his cheeks. Li Chen patted his back while Li Huiqing thought about something seriously.

After a noon, System told Li Chen.

[He has symptoms of HG.]

'What is that?'

[...Well, Ugh...Just open the System Chat Group already.]

'System Chat Group?'

[....Forget it, First, let's talk about that guy, He has Hyperemesis Gravidarum.]

'What's that?'

[The condition might be caused by rapidly rising serum levels of hormones, Symptoms are extreme nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Hyperemesis gravidarum usually occurs during the first trimester of your pregnancy. But he is already in his Second trimester, So he might be carrying more than one child.]
