one step away [Interstellar]

42.

Hebe had a dream, a long, long dream.

In the dream, there were hands on her palms, small and soft.She played with it in the palm of her hand, teasing her pink fingers, and heard a giggle.She lowered her eyes, unable to see clearly the appearance of the person holding her, but knew that this little child came from her body.

Warm touch, soft feeling, like a feather caressing the heart.She held this hand as if holding the whole world.Then that hand patted her palm lightly, slipped down without warning, and disappeared all at once.She looked around frantically, her lips parted slightly, wanting to call the child's name.

Where are you going?

my child.

But no matter how many times you call him, the child's name has never been said clearly. What's your name?what should your name be

She looked at the empty surroundings helplessly, and her voice was taken away by the great fear.Scanning the silent surroundings, he finally saw a small figure, then enlarged his pupils, and chased after him...

For a moment, he became sober in a daze.

"There is nothing wrong with the wound, the physical signs have stabilized, and then rest well..."

An unfamiliar voice rang in her ears, and it was vaguely recognizable. The eyelashes of the woman lying on the bed trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. A dazzling white light came in, causing her to narrow her eyes in a conditioned reaction. Eye.

Ah... where is this?

She thought chaotically, then subconsciously raised her hand and placed it on her abdomen.There, a piece of flat...

His heart twitched violently, his pupils shrank in fear, and he called out in a daze, "My child... Where is the child..."

The faint call attracted the attention of several people standing not far away. The black-haired general who was the most nervous walked quickly to the bed and saw the woman who woke up from the coma with surprise on his face, "Heber, you woke up."

The flustered woman raised her eyes following the voice, and met those blue eyes.In my impression, the young man who always keeps his hair neatly arranged, now has disheveled hair on his forehead, and even the corners of his eyes are stained with a tinge of crimson.Seeing that familiar face, Heber's powerless hands suddenly gained strength. She raised her hand, and her slender and tender fingers grabbed Xia Zuo's clothes. As if expecting something, she asked nervously , "Where is the child? Where is the child?"

A woman lying on a bed, wrapped in a loose blue and white striped hospital gown.Platinum blonde soft long hair is scattered, covering the straight collarbone, revealing the fragile spring light.That beautiful face was pale and looked so fragile.And the dark red pupils were rippling with water, filled with strands of light containing expectations.

As if listening to the voice of salvation, the woman who had half-slumped in despair clasped her clothes tightly, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw.

There was no hesitation on his face, as if he was telling a good thing, the innocent-looking young man stretched out his hand, put her hand in his palm, and said gently, " The baby has been born, because it was born prematurely, and the body is very weak, so it is now in the intensive care unit, don't worry. Right, doctor."

As she said so, she set her sights on the woman in the white coat.It seemed that he didn't expect the other party to say that. The doctor was obviously stunned for a moment, but he calmed down quickly, and then said, "Yes."

"Yes... is it..." As if he was shocked by the great joy, Heber's breath was short, and the tears on his face rolled down, but the corners of his mouth were raised as much as possible, struggling to get up, crying and laughing, "My child ... my child ... she is there ... I am going to see her ..."

But with a slight movement, the wound on her body caused by the operation caused great pain. She hissed lightly, and her eyebrows frowned in pain.The nervous Xia Zuo quickly pressed her shoulders and made her lie down again, "Don't move, don't move, you still have wounds on your body, can you let the doctor take a look at your body first?"

There was a gentle smile on her face, covering up the tiredness between her brows.There was a convincing signal in the warm eyes, Heber relaxed, her eyes were still dripping with tears, she held Xia Zuo tightly with both hands, and asked impatiently, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"Girl." Holding those slender hands, Xia Zuo comforted her emotions. Seeing this, the doctor stepped forward to check her physical condition again.

He Bo didn't care about his weak body, he pulled Xia Zuo and asked anxiously, "What does it look like, is it similar to me?"

"Wrinkled...like a chipmunk." She thought of the child she saw, suppressed her trembling voice, and said calmly, "The eyes...the eyes are very similar to yours, the color of rubies..."

"That's it...it's great, it's great..." She said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but tears kept streaming down her face, tightly holding Xia Zuo's hand. "I want to see her, can I go and see her?"

Xia Zuo raised his eyes, glanced at the doctor, and the other party checked Heber's various indicators, and said, "Not yet, ma'am, you just woke up, and your health is not very good, wait until the wound recovers in a few days."

"Yes, Heber, in a few days, I will take you there in a few days." Xia Zuo said, put his hand on the back of her neck, met her flustered eyes, and said soothingly, "In a few days In a few days, I will really take you there."

"But...but..." The eager woman clasped her fingers, held them firmly, and anxiously argued, then a force came from the back of her neck, her eyes darkened, and the already extremely weak woman softened body, loosened Xia Zuo's grip, closed his eyes again, and fell asleep.

"..." The doctor standing beside them looked at the situation in front of them and pursed his lips in silence.

"Yes... Is there any way to make her sleep for a few more days without much harm?" Xia Zuo, who was exhausted, stood by the bed, firmly held Heber's hand, and asked softly with downcast eyes.

"Yes, before her wound heals, I will prescribe some injections for her to stabilize her." The doctor holding the notebook sighed and said, "Don't stimulate her too much recently. "

"Yes, thank you."

Hearing this, the doctor sighed, then paced out of the ward.From last night until now, I have been very busy.but……

She turned her head, glanced at the female alpha who had taken off her jacket and was standing on the bedside, and showed a sympathy.

At such a young age, this must be the first child. It is too unfortunate that the first child was born a dead baby.Moreover, the wife is still bleeding heavily, almost having an accident... If she doesn't take care of it, it will be difficult to have children in the future.

But...he is still young, and seems to have a good relationship, so he should still be expecting a second child.

After all, such a beautiful couple.

The doctor's footsteps gradually moved away from the ward where there were only two people left.Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly, gradually dispelling the haze in this room.

Heber, who had just come off the operating table, didn't know that his child died in his womb before he even opened his eyes.After all, Xia Zuo, who failed to protect the child, blamed himself deeply for this.Could it be that if you pay more attention, this child will be left behind?

As she thought about it, thinking about the little child that she had placed in the cold cabinet with her own hands, suddenly, a wave of helpless panic took over her heart.

This seemed to be the first time that her heart was strangled by fear, she was afraid...afraid...Heber would...

hate her.

Even, it has nothing to do with her.

"General..." Amanda, who led the people over, stood outside the door, looked at Xia Zuo who was standing by the bed, knocked on the door lightly, and said, "The test results have come out."

Xia Zuo, who was standing by the bed, turned his head and put his index finger on his lips to signal her to keep silent, then put Heber's hand under the quilt and covered her up.He walked out of the room lightly, walked slowly to the door, closed the door, and led Amanda to the end of the empty corridor.

Cleaning up the smile on her face, she frowned and asked, "How?"

"The child and the mother have trace amounts of aphrodisiacs in their bodies. It is presumed that the accumulation will cause the child to die in the womb. Ms. Heber... contains C22H38O in her body, which is a forbidden drug for pregnant women..." Amanda raised her eyes and glanced at herself The general with a bad face said, "The people on the cruise ship have no signs of taking such drugs, so... and not all of them are monitored..."

Such an open banquet will not have such traces, and the sea is wide, making it easier to destroy criminal evidence, so it is even more difficult.But what can be concluded is that someone has attacked the Duke's Mansion, and Heber has become a thorn in the side of others.

who can that be?

Except for that person, there is no need to think about it.

"You don't need to deal with this matter, let's prepare for the military exercise first." Xia Zuo said with a smile.Professional matters should be handled by professionals.

"Yes." Amanda agreed, and glanced at her general again, after all, she still concealed her gossip.

The child is definitely not my general's. After all, I have been with her all the time and have never seen her go back to San Lorenzo. The timing is definitely wrong.But... isn't Ms. Heber the general's sister-in-law?So as expected, it's just that they have...

Ah, I can't think about it anymore, I can't think about it anymore.It was so exciting.

Amanda, who knew what to ask and what not to ask, followed Xia Zuo's order with loyalty, and returned to work.

After briefly telling his intelligence personnel to deal with Heber's affairs, Xia Zuo, who disappeared for a night, finally thought of the engagement ceremony of sister Ellen who had been messed up by himself.The helicopter was mobilized last night, which made it known to everyone, and it was also a hot search on the interstellar network, which caused a lot of trouble for Ellen.

From the looks of it, it's time to apologize.

Thinking of this, she unbuttoned her shirt, feeling a little embarrassed.It took a while to reply to Ellen's communication last night.

"That's right...the child is gone...it's a pity." Hearing the bad news, Ellen expressed her sympathy.

Xia Zuo replied, "Yes, it's a pity."

Ellen said again, "So, have you decided?"

"Yeah." Xia Zuo nodded, and responded softly, "It's decided. I have contacted Ms. Lisa, and all the materials are ready, including the application for a ruling."

"Okay. I will let my mother tell my grandma to prepare the judgment. So, are you going to come to my engagement ceremony now? Although it is not a marriage, you can't be absent." The elder sister's voice was as gentle as ever. Zuo thought of Heber who was still lying on the bed, he hesitated, "I..."

There was silence for a moment, and it took a long time to ask, "Is it Heber?"

The eldest sister's question seemed to have fallen from a huge ax hanging above her head, and Xia Zuo, who felt that he was being tortured for a moment, was a little embarrassed.After a long while, he answered firmly, "Yes."

"..." What responded to her was a long silence and a sigh.

Looking at the hung up phone, Xia Zuo frowned slightly. How to put it, she felt that Ellen was about to be pissed off by herself.

The author has something to say: Ellen os: The little white-eyed wolf who values ​​sex and despises sisters, is so mad.
