When Mei Feng realized it was Dad Xia, she became impatient.
Besides, the line was noisy and had static interferences, which was annoying to hear.
Mei Feng frowned and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Dad Xia’s voice came over the line again, asking, “Is Nuannuan at home?”
“Oh, it’s okay if she’s not. There is a long queue here to call our families to inform them that we’re okay. I’ve tried reaching her on her cell phone, but I couldn’t get through, hence I’ve called your home. May I trouble you to let Nuannuan know that her Mom and I are both fine? She does not need to worry.”
Mei Feng gave a cold chortle and said, “Ok.”
Without waiting to hear anything else from the other party, she hung up the phone with a firm click.
She continued to watch TV, holding a toothpick in one hand and eating the pieces of fruit that had been placed on the coffee table.
As she ate, she suddenly heard a car stopping at the driveway.
Without turning to look, she knew it was Xia Nuannuan returning.
And she was sure the girl had gone to Xia Yehua’s house.
This girl had absolutely no regards for her.
A look disgust flashed across Mei Feng’s eyes as she observed Xia Nuannuan walk into the room dejectedly.
Mei Feng did not move from her seat.
Shen Zihao had gone on a work trip, so she wouldn’t bother to put up a show.
Xia Nuannuan saw her watching TV as she walked into the house.
She walked up to the woman and said, “Aunty Mei.”
Mei Feng raised an eyebrow and looked at her, pretending to be surprised. “Oh dear, Nuannuan, what’s wrong? Why are you so pale?”
Xia Nuannuan asked her, “Mom, did my parents call at all?”
When Mei Feng heard this, a vicious glint appeared in her eyes. She tapped her fingers on the coffee table a couple of times and then put on a befuddled expression. “No, what’s up?”
Xia Nuannuan was stunned.
There had been many typhoons in Hainan in the past, but none of them had been as serious as this one.
There had been no news from her parents, and she was anxious and confused.
How were they? Were they safe?
Xia Nuannuan fell on the sofa in despair.
She had just calmed herself down from a wave of nausea, but she felt it worsening again suddenly.
Feeling a congestion in her chest, she sprang up and ran to the washroom. She was throwing up for a while.
She only managed to control the nausea after she had thrown up most of the acid in her stomach.
But when she tried standing up, the room spun. She tried hard to focus, but her vision blurred.
She was seeing double.
Hanging on to the door, she stood there for a long time before she felt a little better.
She put one foot in front of the other and tried to take a step forward.
She could see Mei Feng standing at the doorway, pinching her nose in disgust.
Extending her hand towards the woman, she said, “Aunty Mei, please- please help me...”
But as she took that step, a curtain of darkness fell and she lost consciousness.
When Mei Feng saw that she had fainted and was about to fall, she stepped forward reflexively, but froze the next moment with her arms in mid air. Then, she retracted her arms.
She stood there coldly as she watched Xia Nuannuan fall on the ground. At this point, she shouted, “Young Madam has fainted!”
The housekeepers rushed over to where they were. Now, she pretended to be concerned and said, “Hurry, hurry and take her to the hospital!”
When she arrived at the hospital, Mei Feng grabbed the doctor’s hand and asked, “How is the child Nuannuan?”
She was sure that would end the pregnancy, surely.
