After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1206 - 1205: Waiting for a Miracle

With a heavy sigh, Huo Shiqian finally declared, "Let this matter end here. In the future, don’t tell anyone about it."

Hearing these words, Xia Chuyi nodded with a smile and assured him, "Don’t worry, except for you, I won’t tell anyone."

After at last confiding her deeply guarded secret to Huo Shiqian, a tremendous burden lifted from Xia Chuyi’s heart in an instant.

Suddenly, Huo Shiqian placed his hand on her belly and suggested to Xia Chuyi, "Chuyi, let’s go pray to Buddha someday."

Xia Chuyi perfectly comprehended Huo Shiqian’s intention.

He was offering thanks to the heavens for bestowing upon Xia Chuyi this precious opportunity, keeping hope alive for their child.

"Yes, we’ll go pray to Buddha another day," Xia Chuyi nestled into his arms and vowed resolutely, "to have Buddha bless our child to be clever and intelligent."

That day, the couple had weathered an overwhelming storm of events.

Finally, they clung to each other fiercely, allowing the "three" of them to slip into blissful sleep.

The following morning, Mrs. Ou, Ou ZhenTing, and Ou Jun arrived at Xia Chuyi and Huo Shiqian’s residence to pay a visit.

"Dad, Mom..." As her parents entered, Xia Chuyi rushed forward to welcome them warmly.

"Chuyi, sit down, sit down!" The instant she budged, Ou ZhenTing hurried over and insisted, "With your health condition, don’t move around!"

Gently, Ou ZhenTing eased Xia Chuyi back down into her chair.

With Xia Chuyi settled comfortably, Ou ZhenTing spoke up, "Chuyi, your situation, your mom has already told me..."

His voice just beginning, Ou ZhenTing’s eyes brimmed red; sorrow veiled the blazing anger lurking beneath.

But to avoid distressing Xia Chuyi, Ou ZhenTing rapidly quelled his fury.

"Last night, Shiqian also told me about your decision," Ou ZhenTing continued, "regarding this matter..."

Pacing himself briefly here, Ou ZhenTing went on, "I have consulted with Doctor Guo, the child... may have some issues."

"But since you’ve already made your decision, I won’t say much."

"With our family’s situation, no matter what happens, we can ensure the child lives a life without want." Ou ZhenTing let out a sigh, mirroring Huo Shiqian’s prior words.

Deeply touched by this, Xia Chuyi replied gratefully, "Thank you, Dad."

At her side, Mrs. Ou’s eyes swelled with redness too as she urged, "Since the decision is made, Chuyi, take good care of yourself, eat more nutritious food..."

Mrs. Ou then clasped Xia Chuyi’s hand tightly and murmured, "Perhaps a miracle might happen."

"Yes." Xia Chuyi nodded vigorously, beaming at her mother, "There will be a miracle."

In saying so, she cast a look toward Huo Shiqian.

Their gazes intertwined, and Huo Shiqian nodded back at her.

The unspoken promise rang true: a miracle awaited.

Indeed, a "miracle" was destined.

Xia Chuyi reflected silently.

Right then, Ou Jun, tagging along with them, advanced and added, "Dad is right, Chuyi, don’t worry, even if the child really... we will definitely ensure they have a peaceful and happy life."

These words prompted Xia Chuyi to stroke her belly, pondering: Did you catch that, baby? Grandpa and Grandma, plus Uncle, are all impatiently waiting for you.

Thus, dear baby, you have to turn out clever and intelligent.

"Chuyi, you and Shiqian lack elders nearby and have no pregnancy experience," Mrs. Ou pressed on, "Why don’t you and Shiqian come stay at the Ou Family’s house for the time being? Mom can care for you much better."
