Chapter 1205: Chapter 1247: Something Happened

Ling Yueyue was silent for a while, then suddenly shook her head frantically, "No, no, something’s not right! Anxin is not someone who would disappear without explanation! Although she often forgets to bring her phone and I sometimes can’t reach her, she would definitely call me back if she saw my missed calls. Her phone would never be out of service or turned off, and certainly, she wouldn’t change her number without telling me. Something must have happened!"

Huo Junmo forced a smile and said, "What could happen to her? With Mu Beiting by her side, nothing will happen to her. You’re overthinking it!"

"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Otherwise, how did we lose the child last time? Even if Mu Beiting protects her well, if someone sets their mind to harming her, they’ll find an opportunity!" As she spoke, she picked up her phone from the dining table again and started searching on it.

Huo Junmo glanced at her phone and asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"

"Ye Anxin’s home landline number!" As she spoke, Ling Yueyue’s eyes lit up, "I’ve found it, Ye Anxin’s home number. I’m going to call their home; I refuse to believe I can’t find her!" Then she dialed the number.

This time the call connected quickly and was answered after two rings, with a familiar and aged voice on the other end, "Hello, who is it?"

Upon hearing this voice, Ling Yueyue knew it was Ye Anxin’s housekeeper and immediately smiled, "Is this the housekeeper? I’m Huo Junmo’s wife and your lady’s best friend; I’m Ling Yueyue! I’m looking for your lady, can you let her take the call?"

"...!" After Ling Yueyue finished her sentence, the other side remained silent for a long time.

Seeing no response, Ling Yueyue frowned and tentatively called out twice, "Housekeeper... housekeeper... are you listening to me?"

After a while, there was finally a response, "Yes...!"

Hearing the housekeeper again, Ling Yueyue’s tense expression eased as she smiled and said, "Then please let your lady take the call and tell her I’m Ling Yueyue and I need to talk to her!"

This time there was another silence in response to Ling Yueyue.

The housekeeper’s repeated silence made the perceptive Ling Yueyue sense something unusual, startling her, and she hurriedly asked, "Housekeeper, has something happened? Where’s your lady? Is it possible she’s lost the baby again?"

The housekeeper quickly replied, "No... no, the baby is fine, the little master is okay!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yueyue was overjoyed, "The little master? Have you checked properly? Is it a boy?"

The housekeeper explained, "No, it’s just that she has already given birth to the little master!"

At these words, Ling Yueyue furrowed her brows again, "Given birth? Isn’t it not yet the due date? It’s only a little over eight months, how did she give birth? Prematurely?"

The housekeeper answered evasively, "Yes, it was premature!"

Upon receiving this confirmation, Ling Yueyue stood up from the chair in a hurry and exclaimed, "How could she have given birth prematurely just like that? Did something happen? Did someone try to harm the baby, causing the premature birth? How is your lady now? Is she okay? Has she recovered? Is she in the hospital or at home? I want to visit her!"

"Our lady... our lady...!" The housekeeper didn’t answer and stumbled over his words, but Ling Yueyue could even hear a sob in his aged voice.

The more this happened, the more anxious Ling Yueyue’s heart became, "Housekeeper, what happened to your lady, tell me! She didn’t... didn’t... didn’t something happen to her?"

Although Ling Yueyue spoke vaguely, she didn’t dare to mention the word death!

But, at this moment, the only thought in her mind was that something happened to Ye Anxin, something major for sure! Perhaps... perhaps really... really...!

At this thought, Ling Yueyue dared not continue thinking! She was scared, scared that her suspicions might be confirmed!

Even though she hadn’t been in touch with Anxin for just over three months, so much could happen in those months! She truly regretted not keeping in touch with Anxin more often!

She was clueless about Anxin’s current situation! She indeed felt unworthy to be Anxin’s best friend.

The housekeeper, not foolish, naturally picked up on the implied meaning in Ling Yueyue’s words and quickly clarified, "No, no, the lady is not in danger, she’s living well!"

Ling Yueyue let out a heavy sigh of relief, murmuring to herself, "Living well is good, as long as she’s alive!" Upon saying that, she felt an overwhelming burst of anger, "Since Anxin is alive, why were you hemming and hawing, making me overthink and nearly scaring me to death! What exactly happened to her?"

"The lady... the lady...!" The housekeeper stammered again, unsure whether to reveal what Ye Anxin had been through during this time to Ling Yueyue.

Seeing the housekeeper hesitating and stammering, Ling Yueyue became impatient, "What on earth has happened to Anxin, just tell me!"

"The lady...!" Just as the housekeeper was about to speak, Mu Beiting’s cold and deep voice came from the other end of the phone, "Whose call is it?" As soon as Mu Beiting spoke, Ling Yueyue heard the beeping sound on the phone.

Ling Yueyue was stunned, not expecting the housekeeper to hang up on her!

Her questions remained unanswered, and she still didn’t know if Anxin was in the hospital or at home.

Seeing Ling Yueyue in a daze, Huo Junmo asked with concern, "What’s wrong? Did the housekeeper say anything?"

Ling Yueyue shook her head bewilderedly, "He didn’t say much, just that Anxin had a baby boy! He seemed like he was about to tell me about Anxin’s situation, but then Mu Beiting’s voice came on and the housekeeper hung up! It’s almost eleven o’clock now, why is Mu Beiting still at home? Why isn’t he at the company?"

Huo Junmo gently patted her on the head, softly comforting her, "Since Anxin has given birth and she’s okay, stop overthinking it. Anxin is at home resting."

Ling Yueyue shook her head, insistently saying, "No, definitely not! The housekeeper was hesitating, there’s obviously something going on! Anxin must have encountered something, or else why wouldn’t the housekeeper tell me about her situation! Furthermore, when I mentioned Anxin, I felt like the housekeeper was crying! If Anxin were okay, why would the housekeeper cry? Therefore, I am sure, even if Anxin is not in life-threatening danger, something major must have happened!"
