My Evil Cinderella: Taming a Villainous Wife Chapter 99 - Hurry up

Shi Enxi wanted to stay strong for Lu Mello. She wanted to be there for him in his darkest hours. He was always there for her, even after she confessed everything to her, he didn't leave her side.

At that moment, Lu Mello was having a hard time. Despite the painful words he said to her, it was alright. Lu Mello wasn't in his right mind.

She wanted to understand him. He was only acting that way because of his sister, right?

And yet, the pain he inflicted her remained. 

Lu Mello managed to calm down thanks to Shi Enxi. After discussing things with the police, Lu Mello went brought Shi Enxi to his car.

"I need to go to my parents' place and explain Lu Weichun's situation to them. I need to tell them that the body that was found doesn't belong to my sister."

Shi Enxi nodded weakly, "Okay..."

Lu Mello felt so guilty when saw how pale she was. He clenched his fists tight. "Earlier... I-"

"It's alright..." She tried to smile at him. "I understand."

Lu Mello clenched his fists tight when he saw how forced her smile was. "It's not okay."

"Mello, let's not talk about this. Didn't you say that you have to go and see your family? They must be in a panic... You need to help them understand the situation first. So you really should go now. I'm just going to grab a taxi and go home."

"Enxi..."

"Please, Mello... Let's not talk about it right now..." She felt so exhausted, physically and emotionally. She felt her body becoming hot. Was her fever coming back?

"Let me drop you."

"I'm fine..." She trailed off, her body staggered as her legs lost its strength.

Lu Mello was surprised to see her faint, he reacted fast enough to catch her in his arms. "Enxi!"

When he held her, he felt her burning skin. Seeing Shi Enxi's unconscious state made Lu Mello panic.

He carried her and gently placed her in the car to bring her to the hospital.

"Mr. Lu, your wife is pregnant. Her fever is caused by stressed and it is bad for the baby. If you want her to have a normal pregnancy, then please refrain from stressing her out. Women in their pregnancy period are sensitive, especially to things around them."

Lu Mello continued to listen to what the doctor was telling him. 

Pregnant...

He suddenly remembered that Shi Enxi did tell him that she was pregnant... It was true... She was not lying.

"Mr. Lu?"

"Mr. Lu!"

Lu Mello was snapped out of his thoughts, "Yes?"

The doctor sighed. Lu Mello wasn't paying attention to him!

"It's important to watch over your wife's mental health. Women mostly have a miscarriage during their first trimester. If the hold of the fetus in the mother's womb is not strong, she could have a miscarriage."

Miscarriage?

Lu Mello turned to Shi Enxi who was lying unconscious on the bed. He was the one who caused her to be this way. He jumped into conclusions without properly talking to her.

"Thank you, Dr. Lin. I will watch over my wife."

Lu Mello was left alone with Shi Enxi after the doctor left. 

He sat on the chair beside Shi Enxi's bed. He reached out and held her hand.

He stayed that way for a while until his phone started ringing. When he looked at it, it was a call from his mother.

He went out of the room to answer the call.

The moment he did, he heard Xia Meilin's crying voice.

"Mello! Is it true? Y-Your sister... Weichun is..."

"Mom, calm down. The body that was found didn't belong to Xiao Chun."

"Really? Darling, Xiao Xing, it's not Weichun."

"See? You should calm down, Meilin." Lu Yifeng's calm voice was heard in the other line.

"How can I calm down? It's our daughter's life that we're talking about! Anyway, how is she? Where is she? Is your sister alright?" 

Lu Mello didn't want to lie to his parents, he doesn't know whether his sister is still alive or not. He was hoping that she would be in good hands tho.

"We still don't know her whereabouts but I believe that she'll be fine. Xiao Chun is stubborn. She won't let anyone kill her so easily."

"Even if you say that, we need to find her! I can't rest until we did!" Xia Meilin was so worried of her daughter's wellbeing. She fainted after hearing the news and as soon as she regained her consciousness, she called to Lu Mello.

"I will do something about it. I promise to find her, mom." 

Xia Meilin's sobs we're heard from the other line. As a mother, it was heartbreaking to learn that someone tried to kill her child.

"Mello." This time, Lu Yifeng's deep voice was heard. "Come home. I want to talk with you."

"Dad, I can't right now. I'm in the hospital."

"In the hospital? Why are you there?"

"My wife is pregnant and she currently has a fever, I need to watch over her."

Lu Yifeng was quiet for a while. Only Xia Meilin's soft sobs we're heard.

"Alright. Take care of your wife and your child."

"C-child?" Xia Meilin was surprised when she heard Lu Yifeng say that.

"Shi Enxi is pregnant." Lu Yifeng answered.

"Dad, I need to end the call now. I'll let you know if I am able to get some information about Weichun."

"Alright. You can focus on looking for her, I will take of the person who tried to harm my daughter."

Lu Mello returned to the room after he spoke with his parents. When he looked at the bed, he was surprised to find it empty.

Did Shi Enxi left?

He rushed out of the room and started looking for her. He caught a glimpse of her in the elevator that was about to close.

"Xi'er!"

Shi Enxi turned her gaze to him. Her eyes looked tired and her face was still pale.

He thought that he wasn't going to reach the elevator in time since it was only a few inches left before the door slid close. He didn't expect it to stop and slid open.

"Hurry up. I want to go home." Shi Enxi weakly said

Even if Lu Mello wasn't able to hear it because of their distance, he was able to read them on Shi Enxi's lips.

He hurriedly went before the elvator's door would slid close again.

They were the only ones in the elevator.

"Enxi, why did you left your room? Come, let's go back!" He held her hand and was about to drag her out but she tried her best to go against his hold.

"No. I want to go home." She stubbornly remained on her ground.

"You can't, you have a fever!"

"I don't like to stay long in the hospital... Please, I just want to rest at home."

If he was to use a bit of strength, he would be able to pull her out but instead of doing that, he went to her side and pressed the button to close the elevator's door.

He was still holding her hand as he stood beside her. "You're pregnant, you should be more careful of your health."

She rested her head on his side with her eyes closed. She didn't say a thing. She was quiet the whole time.
