Ling Shuang immediately took a few steps forward, patted An Xiao Rabbit's shoulder, and seeing that she had finally come to her senses, she said:

"Second Miss, your aunt has prepared lunch. Please come back to the house for a meal."

"Oh." After hearing this, An Xiaotu coldly responded, then slowly got up from the noblewoman's chair. Ling Shuang saw this and quickly helped her stand up and walked towards the room.

After finishing her meal, An Xiaotu silently put down her chopsticks and went upstairs.

Seeing this, Rong's mother quickly grabbed Ling Frost who was about to follow. After An Xiaotu went upstairs and disappeared from view,

Rong Shen lowered her voice and said to Ling Frost, "Little Frost, you go persuade Second Madam, Second Young Master will definitely be back tonight."

It's really worrisome that the second young mistress isn't speaking.

He was getting old and had a big generational gap with the young second mistress. He couldn't say anything comforting to ease her, and it would only make things worse.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who gives advice, Auntie" Ling Shuang countered in her usual cool tone.

Rong's mother froze. "Uh..."

She was so worried that she had become muddle-headed. Usually, Ling霜 didn't talk much, even less than her second young master. She spoke straight to the point and certainly couldn't say anything nice to comfort the second mistress.

After some thought, she had no choice but to let Ling Shuang follow the Second Young Madam every step of the way; at the same time, she prayed in her heart, praying that her Second Young Master would complete his mission and return home soon, so that the Second Young Madam wouldn't have to worry all the time.

……

An Xiaotu didn't know that after she was knocked unconscious last night, Tang Yucheng had fed her a sleeping pill that could make her sleep for a whole day and night. Although she woke up early, some of the medicine's effects were still there.

Therefore, even after lunch, she still felt a little dizzy and weak all over. She suspected that she might be sick.

She nervously came to get a thermometer and checked her temperature. It showed that her temperature was normal.

It seemed that besides feeling weak and tired all over, there were no other discomforts in her body, so she was too lazy to call a doctor.

Before bed, thinking about what he said last night, she thought that if she slept for a little longer, he might come back.

Although An Xiaotu fell asleep due to the medicine's effects, she slept very restlessly and kept having nightmares. She dreamt of them being outnumbered, of Si Kong Liu Yi grinning ferociously and shooting him in the back, and of him covered in blood...

Evening

Ling Shuang came to call An Xiaotu downstairs for dinner.

I knocked on my master's door, but there was no response. I waited a while and knocked again, but Xiao Tu still didn't open the door.

"Second Miss, I'm coming in." Ling Shuang said coldly, pressing the fingerprint password lock. The door immediately opened automatically, and then she stepped into the room.

Approaching the bedside, I saw An Xiaotu drenched in sweat, her face contorted in pain as she lay on the bed with her eyes tightly shut. Tears streamed down her cheeks, as if she were enduring immense suffering.

Ling Shuang was startled. She hurriedly reached out to touch An Xiaotu's forehead and found that she wasn't feverish. She anxiously called out, "Second Miss, wake up! Second Miss..."

Despite calling out several times, there was still no sign of An Xiaotu waking up.

Even Rong's wife, who had been waiting for her master to come down for dinner, went upstairs. Hearing Ling Shuang calling her master in a tense voice, she hurried up the stairs.

"Xiaoshuang, what's wrong with the second young mistress"

"Call a doctor immediately." Ling Shuang commanded, her voice grave.

Rong's face was a bit pale, and she hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, I'll call the doctor right away. You take care of Second Madam."

Before going out, the Second Young Master gave them the contact information of the military doctor in his troops and instructed them to closely monitor the condition of the Second Mistress. If anything seemed amiss, they should call the doctor.

The Second Madam will be giving birth in less than a month. The master and the child absolutely cannot have even the slightest mishap.

An Xiaotu, plagued by nightmares, could hear their conversation but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open her eyes. After a while, the room fell silent, and then she plunged back into another agonizing nightmare.

Tang Yucheng had already informed the military doctors before his action, so when he received Aunt Rong's call, two highly skilled military doctors arrived at the villa with three or four nurses and some of the latest advanced medical equipment.

When Ling Shuang saw the doctor arrive, she quickly made way for him and briefly explained An Xiao Rabbit's condition.

The doctor quickly and efficiently took a small bottle from the medicine cabinet, opened the lid, and held it to An Xiaotu’s nose. Within seconds, An Xiaotu hadn't even opened his eyes yet, but he spoke, “Cough… so stinky!”

Following that, they saw her slowly open her eyes. Ling Shuang and the doctor immediately let out a sigh of relief.

While Ling Shuang saw her mistress wake up with a face full of sweat, she immediately went to get a dry towel to wipe the cold sweat from her face.

"General's wife, allow me to check your condition." The doctor saw that her face was pale, almost frighteningly so, and frowned slightly, his expression turning serious.

An Xiao Rabbit ignored the doctor's words and instead looked silently around the room, then glanced at the sky and time outside. It was almost seven o'clock.

"He... hasn't come back yet" she asked Ling Frost cautiously.

"Hmm." Ling Shuang responded coldly with an emotionless face.

Hearing this, An Xiaotu felt a surge of anger, yet her eyes reddened. She bit her lip tightly, cursing in her heart: "That big liar, Tang Yucheng, said that she would wake up to find him back after a sleep. But she had already slept two times, and he was still not back."

"Madam General, the General has always been undefeated in battle. This mission will be no exception. You should trust him." The doctor softened his tone and said comfortingly.

Although it makes sense, An Xiaotu felt that some things are beyond the understanding of outsiders. She believed he had one reason for doing something and worried that there was another reason behind it.

Especially, she didn't know when he left. Even if he acted at noon, until now, it had already been almost seven hours…

But he was like he had disappeared, with no word coming back.

The doctor offered some soothing words, but she seemed not to be listening. Meanwhile, the nurses and another doctor had set up their medical equipment, and then the doctor began checking her and the fetus's condition.

I don't know how long it has been.

The doctor looked grave and said to An Xiaotu, “Madam Colonel, your current emotions are affecting the fetus. There’s been some restlessness in its movements. I’ll prescribe some medication to keep the pregnancy going, and please try to regulate your emotions. The Colonel is a grown man; you don’t need to worry too much about him. It's the child... If this continues, the child could be born prematurely or there could be other dangers.”

An Xiaotu's face turned pale, she placed her hands on her stomach, and lowered her head, her eyes welling up with tears as she said, "I'm sorry!"

This sentence doesn't know whether it was said to the doctor or to the little rabbit in her belly.

Later, the doctor gave Ling Shuang and Rong Shen some more instructions before leaving with the other medical personnel.'s face turned pale as she heard this, a chill rising from her feet. 。Thinking of that hellhole, prison, she'd rather die than go back there. 。"Nothing..." An Pingtong abruptly came back to her sens...
