Zhixi leaned against his chest, feeling depressed: "Are you not lying to me? Even if I'm pregnant, I can handle this much... Tell me the truth."
"This is the truth. If your dad were really at death's door, do you think I'd be so unconcerned?" He Jingyao chuckled, "He's having surgery next month, and once it's done, everything will be fine. Stop overthinking, okay?"
"But surgery always has risks..." Zhixi murmured softly.
"Giving birth has risks too!" He Jingyao suddenly snorted, "You have no idea how scared I am, huh?"
Zhixi blinked, finding herself at a loss for words.
"Your dad has the best medical care, the best doctors; it's hard for anything to go wrong." He Jingyao smiled lightly, "Besides, there's Xiaobao, and the two little ones in your belly. His will to survive will be incredibly strong, you can rest assured."
Only then did Zhixi smile, and softly said, "Mm."
Xiaobao looked up at them: "Dad, Mom, what's really wrong with Grandpa?"
