I am pregnant with the villain's child

Chapter 15 and 16

Chapter 15

Inside the fast Bentley, Ye Zhen sat in the back seat and impassively looked out the window.

“Uncle Xiao, what’s today’s date?”

“Miss Ye, today is the fourth.”

Ye Zhen looked out the window with a blank gaze.

A while later, she asked, “Uncle Xiao, Mr. Lu… He really woke up?”

Uncle Xiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat at the front, turned his head back. His attitude towards her fully embodied the mannerism that should be directed towards the lady of the house. There was a kindly smile across his face as he said, “Yes, Miss Ye. Young Master has really woken up. You’ve asked me this question fourteen times.”

Once again, Ye Zhen turned to look out the window with a worried gaze.

“Don’t believe in those outside rumors. I’ve watched young master grow up. He’s actually the type of person that’s cold to outsiders and warm to people he cares about. He’s easy to get along with. You’ll see this for yourself once you get to know him.”

A stiff smile appeared on Ye Zhen’s lips. Of course, she knew what kind of person Lu Beichuan was.

He was temperamental, violent, merciless, crazily cruel, and apathetic. He was someone that had a complete disregard for human life and guilty of monstrous crimes that made one’s hair rise on end.

He was someone that wouldn’t even let off his own father. How could you have any hope that he had a semblance of a conscience?

Right now, Ye Zhen felt overcome with apprehension. She had originally planned on leaving before Lu Beichuan woke up. At this point in time, she hadn’t interacted with Lu Beichuan yet. If the Lu family found Ye Qing and brought her back, Lu Beichuan wouldn’t have suspicions. But now that Lu Beichuan was awake, there would inevitably be face-to-face contact… Ah, there might even be deeper, intimate physical contact.

Of course, that could only happen if Lu Beichuan had recovered normal bodily functions.

As soon as she thought of that, Ye Zhen felt even more apprehensive.

Why had the plot gone astray? Shouldn’t Lu Beichuan be waking up half a month from now? What went wrong?

Could it be that the plot was irreversible? Was she doomed to stay by Lu Beichuan’s side as his wife and give birth to his son? And in the end, their family would neatly fall to a bleak ending. Was a happy ending impossible?

The attentive old butler saw the apprehension on Ye Zhen’s face, so he tried to comfort her, “Miss Ye, you really don’t need to worry or be scared. Young Master was the one that ordered me to bring you back.”

Ye Zhen choked. She showed a smile that looked worse than if she had outright cried. “I’m okay.”

The Bentley was driven smoothly and quickly. Ye Zhen looked at the chauffeur that was beaming with happiness. Her own expression was wooden.

It didn’t take long for them to arrive at the the Lu family’s villa. The old butler got out of the car and opened the door for Ye Zhen. He bowed and gestured for her to go inside.

The members of Lu family’s household looked very happy, as if today was New Year. Ye Zhen mustered up a stiff smile as she followed the old butler upstairs. The spacious room was crowded with people. Through the gap in the crowd, Ye Zhen saw Old Master Lu and Mother Lu sitting by the bedside. William was currently examining the awakened Lu Beichuan.

Lu Beichuan seemed as if he hadn’t been awake for long. His face was as pale as before. Lacking strength, he languidly leaned against the headboard. His eyes were lowered. He displayed an attitude of none of this stuff has anything to do with me, as if he wasn’t the center of attention.

Ye Zhen freely stood outside of the crowd.

After William finished his examination, he asked Old Master Lu, “Mr. Lu, let’s step away to talk?”

Chapter 16

Stepping away to talk meant that he didn’t want Lu Beichuan to hear the results of the examination. In circumstances when the doctor didn’t want to freely speak in front of the patient, the situations were usually bad. Everyone here understood William’s meaning.

Just as Old Master Lu was preparing to stand up, he heard a low voice say, “Just stay here to talk.”

Hearing this voice, Ye Zhen’s ears suddenly felt heated.

This voice sounded too similar to that overbearing voice in her dream that told her she wasn’t allowed to cry. It carried a tone that wouldn’t tolerate any contrary opinions.

William glanced at Old Master Lu. After receiving Old Master Lu’s consent, he said, “Although Mr. Lu has woken up, I still have to clearly explain the details to everyone. Mr. Lu’s legs and waist as well as his brain was injured by the car accident a year ago. Because there was an injury to the brain, he was unconscious for almost a year. I conducted a preliminary appraisal of his legs injury a year ago. Based on today’s examination, his lower half’s injury is more serious that I estimated back then. I’m afraid…”

His worried tone made the listeners feel as if their hearts had flown up and were blocking their throats.

A long time later, Mrs. Lu finally said, “Doctor, you mean…”

“Of course, that’s just the worst possible outcome. Nowadays, the study of medicine is advance. There’s still the possibility that Mr. Lu will be able to stand up.”

William’s adequately comforting words let Mrs. Lu sigh in relief. Ye Zhen also sighed in relief, but for a different reason.

A disability was great. It would be better if he stayed a cripple instead of recovering full mobility and going out to do nefarious deeds.

After hearing the answer, Old Master Lu nodded and stood up. “I understand. Thank you for your hard work, doctor.”

William smiled as he shook Old Master Lu’s hand. “I’m only doing what I should.”

After saying this, the crowd parted to allow William and the nurses to leave. Ye Zhen also hastily moved to the side.

“Ye Qing, come here!” Mrs. Lu caught a glimpse of Ye Zhen standing at the edge of the crowd. She affably waved at her to come over.

In the past, Mrs. Lu had disliked Ye Zhen because she was timid, weak, and without her own opinions. They had married her into the Lu family in hopes that it would bring Lu Beichuan good luck, but he had remained unconscious. However, the situation was different now. Ye Zhen had driven Lu Beifan, who had tried to usurp her son’s place, out of the Lu family, and her son had woken up!

In the eyes of Mrs. Lu, this was double blessings. Her view of Ye Zhen had completely changed. She saw her daughter-in-law as a sincere and considerate harbinger of blessings.

Old Master Lu smiled too. “That fortune teller’s prediction is really accurate. He said that as long as Beichuan marries you, it’s guaranteed that he’ll wake up within a month. Isn’t that the truth? Today… it’s the one month anniversary of Ye Qing marrying into the Lu family!”

Mrs. Lu held Ye Zhen’s hand and gestured for Ye Zhen to sit down on the bed. Her words were full of happiness. “Qingqing, ah, you’re our family’s treasure. Beichuan, don’t blame us for marrying you without your permission. You have to know that you were a comatose person a month ago. At that time, what innocent girl would dare to marry you? But, Qingqing was willing!”

Mustering up her courage, Ye Zhen sat down on the bed. Lowering her head and looking down, she deferred to listening to Mrs. Lu holding her hand while praising her.

“Also, while you were unconscious, it was Qingqing that took care of you. Every day, she sat on the bed and spend the entire day massaging you. Just seeing this sight made me feel bad for her. Dr. William has said it’s a miracle for you to wake up so soon. From how I see it, the majority of the credit goes to Qingqing. In the future, you have to treat her well. If you dare to bully her,” Mrs. Lu pretended to angrily say the last part, “Don’t blame me for being unkind to you.”
