Chapter 1431: Morning Sickness

They were forced to take a cab home but they didn’t regret their choice to perform this act of kindness because the injured woman on the ground could have died if they didn’t lend a helping hand.

“Dad, did they make things difficult for you?” Mo Ling asked. He vowed to make sure that all the police officers would be fired if they didn’t treat his dad civilly earlier.

Mo Yixuan shot him a small smile and said, “No.”

He was very calm about the whole situation because they seem like potential suspects based on preliminary deductions, so the police weren’t wrong.

They hopped into a taxi and stopped talking about the car accident as they quietly made their way home.

This was just a minor blip that disrupted their everyday lives and they didn’t want this incident to disrupt their lifestyles.

——

At the Ye castle.

The pregnancy signs for Xi Xi had become more obvious now that she was nine weeks pregnant. She felt very nauseous after she had breakfast and the acid reflux left a sour taste in her mouth.

She rushed to the toilet and soon, she vomited the contents of her breakfast.

He Xiyan quickly followed her daughter into the bathroom and her heart ached for her daughter when she saw her daughter crouched on the ground and experiencing such an intense bout of morning sickness.

She bent down and gently stroked her daughter’s back.

“Xi Xi, are you feeling very uncomfortable?” He Xiyan said anxiously. She was a mother of three children but she didn’t remember having such bad morning sickness when she was pregnant.

Xi Xi gargled some water after she had finished retching out the contents of her breakfast.

She seemed a little haggard because she was vomiting once or twice a day.

“Mom…I’m so tired,” she said softly.

He Xiyan helped her daughter out of the bathroom. She would have to prepare some food for her daughter since she had just vomited everything out.

One couldn’t skip meals while pregnant because this would be very bad for her health and the baby’s development.

“Xi Xi, does your stomach hurt?” He Xiyan asked anxiously. She was still very worried about her daughter even though she had consulted two doctors and they had informed her that her daughter’s intense morning sicknesses were a result of her constitution and would pass by the time she hit her second trimester.

She was still worried.

Xi Xi shook her head and said, “No. Mom… I don’t want to eat.”

He Xiyan said, “You can’t skip meals. Why don’t you head to your room to rest while I make some congee for you?”

Then, she went to the kitchen. There were three chefs employed at the castle but this time, she decided to personally cook for her daughter.

She made a bowl of pumpkin congee and a serving of sandwiches which she then brought up to her daughter’s room.

“Xi Xi, why don’t you try some of this and let me know how they taste?” she asked.

Xi Xi replied, “Mom, I’m not hungry.”

He Xiyan tried to cajole her into eating, “You should try to eat some. How else would your baby grow if he can’t absorb nutrients from you?”

Xi Xi reluctantly walked over and picked up the bowl of congee. She took several mouthfuls and it seemed rather tasty, so she finished the whole bowl.

Her appetite improved and soon, she finished everything her mother had cooked, including the sandwiches.

“How do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable?” He Xiyan asked.

She didn’t mind cooking for her daughter every day as long as she was able to keep her food down.

Xi Xi nodded and said, “I’m fine. I don’t feel nauseous. Thanks, mom…”
