Chapter 1206: Chapter 1248: What Exactly Happened?

Huo Junmo couldn’t help but say: "Stop overthinking it, what big trouble could Anxin be in? If you keep thinking like this, even if she’s okay, you’ll end up imagining trouble for her!"

"My intuition is never wrong! I’m going to call Ye Auntie; she must know Anxin’s situation!" Saying this, she unlocked the phone screen and started looking for Ye Mom’s number.

"Yueyue, leave Ye Auntie alone, she...!" Huo Junmo wanted to intervene, but it was too late, Ling Yueyue’s call had already been made, and soon enough it was answered by Ye Mom’s gentle voice, "Hello, Yueyue!"

Ling Yueyue laughed and said, "Ye Auntie, it’s Yueyue!"

Ye Mom replied, "Why did you suddenly decide to call me today? Is there something wrong?"

Ling Yueyue got straight to the point without any detours and asked, "Auntie, I just called Anxin because I wanted to hang out with her, but her phone is turned off. I can’t reach her! Later, I called her home, and the butler hesitated for ages without saying where Anxin is, only saying Anxin gave birth early and had a son, but he didn’t mention her situation! Do you know where Anxin is now? Is she in the hospital or at home?"

...! Ye Mom’s reaction was the same as the butler’s; when Ling Yueyue inquired about Ye Anxin’s situation, the phone line fell silent as if the world had stopped.

Ye Mom’s reaction made Ling Yueyue more convinced of her suspicions. Her heart instantly jumped to her throat, and she asked nervously, "Auntie, did something happen to Anxin? Where is she now? Tell me, please! I’ve grown up with her; you should know, I care about her the most. If you don’t tell me, I’ll start imagining the worst!"

"Sob, sob...!" As Ling Yueyue finished speaking, Ye Mom’s sorrowful, suppressed sobs suddenly echoed from the other end.

Seeing Ye Mom cry, Ling Yueyue said nothing, directly hung up the phone, and walked straight outside.

Huo Junmo hurriedly chased after her, grabbing her arm, "Where are you going?"

Ling Yueyue said anxiously, "I’m going to Ye Auntie’s house, I’m a hundred percent sure Anxin is definitely in trouble! Auntie is crying bitterly over there, and the butler cried too, which proves that something major has happened. I must find Auntie and ask her face-to-face; a phone call won’t clarify everything!"

Huo Junmo comforted: "Why are you going with such a big belly? If you’re really worried, I’ll send someone to ask for you. You just stay home and wait for news!"

"No, I must go and find out myself! It’s all my fault, all my fault, ever since I got pregnant I haven’t contacted Anxin, and now I don’t even know her situation! If I don’t go and find out, it’ll be a betrayal of so many years of friendship!" Saying this, she forcefully shook off Huo Junmo’s hand and headed outside.

"Wait a minute, I’ll go with you! How can I let you go alone when you’re pregnant!" Saying this, he caught up with Ling Yueyue, and took her hand.

At this moment, Ling Yueyue couldn’t be bothered about disrupting Huo Junmo’s work. She pulled him into the garage and made him drive her directly to Ye Mom’s place.

When she arrived outside Ye Mom’s house and knocked on the door, Ye Mom opened it and was visibly startled to see Ling Yueyue standing outside, asking in surprise, "Yueyue, why are you here?"

Ling Yueyue looked at Ye Mom standing inside the doorway. Though the journey had taken some time, she could clearly see Ye Mom’s swollen eyes, a clear sign she had been crying.

"Auntie, I’m worried about Anxin, did something happen to her?" Saying this, Ling Yueyue took Ye Mom’s hand and walked inside with her.

Ye Mom led Ling Yueyue and Huo Junmo to the sofa and served them each a cup of tea.

Ling Yueyue couldn’t be bothered to drink and, seeing Ye Mom still not answering her question, felt even more anxious, "Auntie, just tell me, did something happen to Anxin? Why do both you and the butler cry when mentioning her?"

Ye Mom didn’t immediately answer Ling Yueyue’s questions; her gaze slid from her face to her slightly protruding belly, concernedly asking, "Yueyue, are you pregnant again? Judging by your belly, it’s four or five months, right?"

Ling Yueyue unconsciously touched her belly, worriedly saying, "Yes, it’s over five months now! Because of pregnancy and severe morning sickness recently, I haven’t had the energy to contact Anxin! Today, I missed her and wanted to chat and catch up, but couldn’t reach her at all! Auntie, tell me, how could she suddenly give birth prematurely? If she gave birth prematurely, her body must be weak, right? Is she recuperating in the hospital or at home? I’m really worried about her; tell me where she is now so I can visit her!"

Seeing Ling Yueyue asking about Ye Anxin again, Ye Mom’s barely stopped tears started to fall again, she hurriedly wiped them while sobbing, "Yueyue, you’re pregnant now, you should go home to rest! I’ll tell you once your baby is born!"

The more Ye Mom said this, the more worried Ling Yueyue became, "Why wait until my baby is born? Did something huge happen that you’re afraid I can’t handle the blow because I’m pregnant?"

Huo Junmo held Ling Yueyue’s hand, comforting her, "Yueyue, since Auntie said she’d tell you after you give birth, just go home and rest. Once you’ve had your baby, Auntie will naturally tell you about little sister-in-law’s situation! Don’t worry!"

"No, you saying this confirms that Anxin is indeed in big trouble!" At this point, Ling Yueyue seemed to suddenly remember something, she sharply turned to look at Huo Junmo, her eyes scanning him thoroughly, and sternly asked, "I ask you, do you know something? But you’re not telling me!"

Feeling uncomfortable under Ling Yueyue’s sharp gaze, Huo Junmo’s eyes flickered hesitantly, stuttering, "I... I... no... you’re overthinking!"

Ling Yueyue raised an eyebrow confidently, "Don’t say you don’t know! Ever since I mentioned Anxin, you’ve been acting strange, always stopping me from finding her. If you didn’t know something happened to Anxin, why are you always stopping me from finding her? Hurry up and tell me, did something happen to Anxin? What on earth happened? Why are you keeping it from me? Tell me now, or... don’t blame me for being tough on you!"

"I... I...!" As Ling Yueyue pointed her question sharply at him, Huo Junmo was left speechless.

Seeing Huo Junmo rendered speechless by Ling Yueyue’s confrontation, Ye Mom quickly intervened to help him, "Yueyue, don’t make it hard for Mr. Huo, not telling you is for your own good! Stop asking, go home and rest!"
