Chapter 1267: Chapter 1266: Gathering Forces to Demand Accountability Chapter 1267: Chapter 1266: Gathering Forces to Demand Accountability Bai Lan's condition stabilized and soon, she was transferred to a regular ward.
Zhou Shengting couldn't dare to leave Bai Lan's side for even a moment.
His deep, lake-like dark eyes intensely fixed on her pale side profile, “Rest well, I will stay by your side.”
Hearing this, Bai Lan slowly opened her eyes.
The sight of Zhou Shengting in her vision, silhouetted against the light, appeared very slender. His hands supported the edge of the hospital bed, his gaze serene, and his face full of worry.
Bai Lan raised her hand to touch his face, “I'm fine, don't worry.”
Zhou Shengting clasped her hand and then lowered his lips to kiss it, “Rest up.”
This time, Bai Lan really was frightened; although she was not one to cry and usually could control herself, her eyes had blurred with tears.
She placed her hand on her abdomen, feeling the presence of the baby, and it felt good.
Bai Lan slowly closed her eyes.
Zhou Shengting saw that she still looked very elegant, her delicate face clean and pale, her long eyelashes fell, and her appearance resembled that of a pure young girl just starting out in the world; a faint watery gleam at the corner of her eyes seemed pitiful.
A fleeting emotion flashed through Zhou Shengting's eyes; every time he saw her, he felt different.
Because Zhou Shengting was by her side, Bai Lan slept very soundly.
She quickly fell into a dream.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep, Zhou Shengting then turned and walked out of the ward.
He instructed Madame Jiang to go back and cook congee to bring over, as Bai Lan would need something to eat when she awoke. Given her current condition, she could only have congee.
Madame Jiang nodded her head and then went back to prepare.
Before returning, Madame Jiang made a trip to the market, bought some lean meat and a few greens.
She planned to cook congee and a bowl of greens with lean meat soup. Just as she returned, she saw Zhou's mother already standing at the door, becoming a bit impatient as she pressed the doorbell.
Madame Jiang immediately went up to greet her, then said, “Madam Zhou, hello, the master and mistress are not at home.”
Zhou's mother noticed Madame Jiang and frowned slightly, “Where did they go? Why isn't anyone at home this early?”
Zhou's mother had an unfriendly expression on her face.
It was nothing more than blaming Bai Lan for neglecting the Gu Family.
“Madam Zhou, hello, the mistress was feeling unwell and went to the hospital,” Madame Jiang did not mention Bai Lan's pregnancy.
She vaguely knew their mother-daughter-in-law relationship wasn't very good.
She worried that Zhou's mother would blame Bai Lan for not taking good care of the baby, so she didn't bring it up.
This matter should be discovered by her on her own. As a hired worker, it indeed wasn't necessary for her to explain in such detail.
Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother certainly had a complaint, “I knew she was always sick. Marrying Sheng Ting just burdens him.”
At the thought of Bai Lan, especially her poor health, who knew when she could hold a grandson?
A nameless fire would ignite in Zhou's mother's heart.
Madame Jiang inwardly felt relieved; this mother-in-law was not easy to deal with.
She pretended not to hear, then opened the door, and walked in carrying the vegetables.
Zhou's mother followed right behind.
Knowing that Bai Lan was resting, Madame Jiang did not disturb her.
Zhou's mother told her to find the master herself since she was busy cooking congee. How could she have the time to attend to her?
Seeing a servant disregard her as if she was invisible, Zhou's mother's heart grew even angrier, but she could not stoop to argue with a servant.
After all, she hadn't hired her.
Thus, she took out her phone and called Zhou Shengting; she indeed wanted to see what was going on.
