"Will you accept me even now when I have a baby? Will you accept my son too, son of some other male?" Zhou Liying asked and looked deep into his eyes.
Mu Yuehan took a deep breath. It was not easy for any man to accept the child of some other man. But same was not the case with Mu Yuehan.
"I will accept you and your son." He took a seat beside her and pushed away her hair from her face. "To me, he is not the son of some other male, but he is your son. I will accept him, I will give him my name."
"Really? Promise?" she asked hopefully.
"Promise."
"Now tell me, where is our son?"
Mu Yuehan wanted to ask many questions regarding the presence of this son. He failed to believe that she gave birth to a child, but after looking at her habit of sleeping around, he could not neglect that she may have gotten pregnant and have given birth.
He first decided to ask about the whereabouts of the child to bring him home.

"London, in the company of a close friend. She is looking after him right now."
"Give me the complete address tomorrow. We will bring him back. It is not good for a child to stay away from its parents."
"You will accept him?" hot tears appeared in the eyes of Zhou Liying when she heard him. She could not believe that he would accept her with her son. No man was so daring to do so.
"Of course. Now, do you want me to give an agreement to you?"
Zhou Liying shook her head.
"Now sleep. Hmm. We will talk more tomorrow." He gently ran his fingers in her hair.
"No." She shook her head. "I want to tell you one more thing." She looked at him with determination.
Mu Yuehan sighed. He knew she was not going to fall asleep before telling him what was in her heart.
She took in a deep breath before saying, "I can't become a mother anymore. I had some complications while giving birth to my son."
Taken aback, Mu Yuehan looked at Zhou Liying. His breath started to came in pants. It was as if her words had sucked the energy out of him. He felt broken at that moment.
He failed to digest that she could no longer be a mother. He knew she was not kidding or lying. She was drunk and when drunk she was always frank with him.
He felt heartbroken.
He was not broken for himself but her. He knew how much she loved children. How much she wanted to give birth to his children. She always wished for her child to have siblings unlike herself.
"Leave me, I can't give you a baby."
"I don't care."
"Don't you understand that I can't give you an heir? Don't you want your own child, your own blood, heir of your mega-corporation?"
"My brother can give me an heir, or we can make your son, sorry," he immediately corrected himself, "our son the heir of our company. If we want, we can adopt children in future. I don't care if you can give birth or not."
Zhou Liying started to weep when she heard his words. Mu Yuehan felt a pinch in his heart when he saw her in tears.
"Don't cry," he removed her tears and that was when he noticed that her body had started to burn. He knew it was the effect of drenching in the cold water of rain.
He cursed under his breath. "Stay here. I will be back in a few minutes."
He stood up from his seat and rushed toward the kitchen, wherein one of the shelves he found a Chinese medicine, suggested to him by a doctor expert in treating the fever. He followed all the instructions and returned to the room with it.
When he entered the room, he found Zhou Liying to be fast asleep. He shook his head and walked toward her. He did not want to, but he had to wake her up, to feed her this medicine otherwise she may fall sick.
"Sweetie, wake up. You need to drink this." He whispered lovingly in her ears and ran his fingers in her hair.
He coaxed her and tried to wake her up but she was fast asleep, not listening to him. He released a deep breath and decided to give her medicine mouth to mouth.
He filled his mouth with the bitter medicine. He then pulled on the chin of Zhou Liying and then kissed her hard. With his tongue, he pushed the medicine into her mouth.
He sighed in relief when Zhou Liying gulped down the whole content of medicine. Then he placed the utensil aside and looked at her for the last time before making his way to the bathroom.
He too was wet from the rainwater and now he had started to feel cold.
He took a hot shower, before changing into fresh pair of clothes. He too sipped some medicine, because precaution was always better than cure. He did not want to fall sick. He hated falling sick.
He walked toward Zhou Liying and entered the bed. He cuddled her in his arms and fell asleep with her.

"Cold, it is so cold here."
"Cold."
"Take me out."
"I can't bear this much cold."
Mu Yuehan woke up when he heard the faint mumbling of Zhou Liying.
He opened his eyes and found that she was mumbling something in her sleepy state. What scared him more was that she was shivering and her body was burning hot.
"Shit, she is sick."
Mu Yuehan without any delay called for his doctor. He regretted not calling him when he caught the first sign that she had caught cold. Instead of giving her Chinese medicine, he should have consulted the doctor.
"Hello doctor, Mu Yuehan here, come to my penthouse right now. There is an emergency." He called their family doctor.
When Mu Yuehan called the doctor, he was fast asleep. Moreover, the weather was so harsh that it did not permit a person to travel, but who was the doctor to deny Mu Yuehan?
Without wasting any time, the doctor got all ready and made his way to the penthouse of Mu Yuehan.
