It was killing Huian inside to know that Nana is carrying Jinhai's child. It was the right that should have been hers. She was feeling disgusted inside thinking of that child.
But she rembered how Jinhai vehently opposed to having a child with her when she suggested it. It was after that incident that their relationship started to go downhill.
So she realized that how can Jinhai accept Nana's baby? He doesn't want to beco a father.
Jing's face turned sour.
Bro was against it that ti because the mother of that child had been you, stupid.
Liu Chunhua widened her eyes. She didn't know what to say. That ti it was different. But nowthe woman carrying his child is the person he has fallen for.
Yes, she realized it last night. Jinhai had feelings for Nana.
Chen Liling was also thinking along the sa lines.
Why won't Jinhai accept the baby when Nana is the mother? He loves her. Naturally, he won't give up on the child.
She sighed inside.
How she wanted Nana to be her daughter-in-lawHow she had already thought a na for her grandchild
Chen Guiren felt the sadness in her eyes. He patted her on her shoulders and smiled assuredly.
She smiled and nodded back.

Nana's eyelids fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes. Her sight was locked by a familiar pair of black orbs, unblinkingly looking back at her. She saw him firmly holding her hand, their fingers softly intertwined.
Nobody said anything for a while.
Jinhai asked first, breaking the ice, "Are you feeling better now? Any discomfort? Should I call uncle Zhou?"
Nana shook her head.
A tear trickled down from the side of her eye. She whispered, her lips trembling. "What will I do now? What will I-"
"We." Jinhai interrupted. "It's not 'I.' It's 'We.' You are not alone. I won't let you bear anything by yourself. We are, and we will always be together, facing whatever cos our way."
Her eyes reddened.
"Liu Jinhai", she broke down in tears. "I'm terrified. I want to feel happy, but it is only frightening even more. I hear voices echoing in my head that I'm not supposed to feel this joy. This right is not mine."
"This right is only yours." He said firmly. He helped her sit up and took her in his arms. "When I confessed to you that night, I said that you can be only mine, just as I can be only yours. I love you. You love . Our child is proof of those feelings we have for each other. Neither our feelings are a mistake, nor is our child."
She smiled faintly, tears still flowing.
"Do you rember that day in Liu Corps, when we were holding Peng ixiu's child in my arms?"
She looked at him and nodded.
He smiled. "That was the first ti when a feeling arose in my heart to hold my own child. Our child."
She gazed in his eyes, surprise evident on her face.
Jinhai cupped her cheek. "Yes. Maybe I didn't realize, but I had started to have feelings for you. You know, when I was holding her baby, a thought ca across my mind. 'How nice it would be if it were our child'. That was the first ti in my life that I held such a strong desire for sothing."
He was pouring out his heart to her. She didn't know if it was the pregnancy or not, but watching him expressing his heartfelt feelings made her cry even harder.
"I couldn't control that urge to wish for it. It just naturally ca to . And it felt so right at that mont. That feeling was so pure, and I didn't feel ashad of myself or guilty of that emotion."
"You" Nana was stumped for any words to say.
He wiped her tears and asked, "Tell . Do you hate our child?"
"No!" the response was instant.
"Our baby may not have conceived in an ideal situation, but will you feel embarrassed about him or her? Will you regret giving birth?"
"Never."
Jinhai smiled. "Then that is all I want to know." Just one last thing was left. "Do you rember the question I asked you that night?"
There was a few monts of silence.
"Yes. You asked if I trust you." She said softly.
"Do you?"
This ti she held his face in her hands and said, "Be it that night or today, my answer is still the sa."
He stared at her.
"Yes, I trust you."
Jinhai leaned in and kissed her lips.
"I promise. Neither you nor our child will have to lower your head in sha. Neither you nor our child will have to bear any criticism. I promise I will not let you or our child suffer."
All the sorrow and anguish in Nana's heart washed away in an instant. Not only her lips, but even her eyes smiled a brilliant smile.
She had never forgotten those words he had said that night.
And today too, the words were the sa, but this titheir child was also a part of his promise.

Everybody was anxiously waiting for Jinhai to co out.
The door slowly opened, and Jinhai ca alongside Nana.
Jinhai ignored everybody's questioning gazes and asked Zhou Bingwen, "Uncle Zhou, How is Nana's condition now? Can I take her back ho?"
He said, "Yes, she is fine. I have written down so supplents. She has to take them once a day. Also, I suggest you take her for an ultrasound tomorrow."
Jinhai nodded.
"Child." Zhou Bingwen looked at Nana. "If you ever feel even the slightest bit of discomfort, then call anyti, okay? Here is my number."
Her heartbeat quickened, coming face to face with everyone. She looked at Zhou Bingwen, faintly smiled and nodded.
Liu Hai said, "Jinhai. Co to Liu villa with Nana. We have to talk."
