Chapter 277: Stay with me

277 Stay with me

By the time Liling, finished dressing up, her driver was already waiting for her downstairs. As she walked down the stairs, Yan Ran walked out of the kitchen with a cup.

''Liling, drink this, it's good for the health. ''

She extended a cup of something Liling couldn't figure out what was inside.

''What's this? ''

''It is pineapple and Aloe Vera juice, you complained of stomach upset, this is good for the belly.\''

Liling smiled, ''Oh thank you, but I'm in a hurry now, I'll take it when I return, you can keep it in the fridge. ''

Yan Ran looked hesitant but she forced a smile. ''Okay, it'll be in the fridge then, have a nice day, Liling.''

Liling smiled.

''Thank you ''

She wondered why she was so thoughtful. Not thinking much about it, she walked out the door. Yan Ran gritted her teeth as she watched her leave. If she could, she would shove that drink down her throat!

She prayed that Liling wouldn't go to the hospital that day; else it would be the end.

…

That morning, during the meeting with one of the companies concerning the shoot, they were served coffee and Liling drank some but when she felt slightly uncomfortable, she stopped drinking.

That day's shoot was for a perfume brand. It was a short play and Liling shot it perfectly following the script that they didn't even have to retake.

After the shoot, they were served exquisite meals in the company and Liling dined with the staff and Manager Su before heading home.

By the time she came back home, it was past seven.

Since she had eaten, she wasn't quite hungry; she just needed to drink water. Dropping her bag on the couch, she strode to the kitchen, opening the fridge; she stretched her hand to take a bottle of water.

Just as her hand was about to come in contact with the bottle, her eyes saw the cup of pineapple and Aloe Vera juice, Yan Ran had given her in the morning and suddenly she felt like drinking it.

She immediately took the cup and undid the lid before taking a sip.

Aloe Vera was nothing next to sweet; the mixture with pineapple gave it a sour taste. It had this sour taste but at the same time, it made you want to take another sip and before she knew it, she had downed the whole cup.

When she finished with the cup, she rinsed it and put it away before taking a can of water and going upstairs. After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, she picked her phone from her bag and lay on the bed, hugging her pillow.

Just then, her phone started ringing.

''Liling my best friend!! My first single is officially out next week, I can't wait! ''

''Yeah, me too! Almost everyone is waiting for it. Jin Yue and Liu Wei reposted the trailer, and almost everyone in Beijing is waiting for it now. 'Someone You Loved', Xin Yong it is so touching! Is it for him? ''

''Alright, alright, but did you see Jin Yue's post? ''

Liling asked again, as though she wanted Xin Yong to know that Jin Yue reposted it. ''

''I didn't, I blocked him, so I don't see anything he posts. '' She replied vehemently. Although she knew she was lying.

One thing was blocking him, and the other was being able to resist searching up his name. She already saw the post and it melted a part of her heart, although she forced the coldness back on immediately, but she was not going to tell Liling that.

''Okay, but Xin Yong… ouch…''

Xin Yong creased her brows.? ''What's wrong? ''

''No, nothing, I just felt a sharp pain in my abdomen, maybe my period is coming. ''

Liling said, rubbing on her stomach. Just now she felt a pain there, but it didn't hurt anymore.

''Oh, okay, hope you have pain medications? You know Liu Wei isn't around to soothe you. ''

Liling chuckled, ''Yeah, I have some. I'll call you later, let me go check myself. ''

''Okay; goodnight ''

Liling disconnected the call and went to the bathroom. She checked her panties but there was nothing on. But just in case, she put in a pad before going back to bed. As soon as she lay down, she stood up again and walked to the drawer, taking out some pain medications, she took some pills before retiring to bed again.

By exactly past five am in the morning, Liling sprung up from the bed. Her abdomen was literally on fire. She had taken pain medications; she didn't know why it hurt like hell.

She wanted to stand up from the bed, but her legs could not let her, it was so painful that she didn't know what to do.

What was happening to her? Liling was sweating all over. As time continued to pass by, the pain became more unbearable.

When Liling couldn't take it any longer, she picked her phone and called Liu Wei.

''Baby, are you up already? ''

''Liu Wei, my stomach, it hurts! It hurts too much, I can't move…''

Liu Wei just came back home from a meeting, he hadn't even taken a shower when Liling called. The hairs on his whole body stood erect.

''What's wrong? Are you on your period? ''

''I think so, but it hurts so much, it's unbearable! ''

Liu Wei was literally restless. Why did bad things always happen when he was away?

''Liling breathe… Just breathe, let me call Jin Yue now. ''

''No, no, don't cut the call; it's killing me so much! ''

Liling cried, clutched her belly with another hand.

Liu Wei clutched his hair with his hand.

He didn't know what to do. Why would this happen now he wasn't in the country? The next time he was travelling, he was fucking taking her with him!

''Okay, Liling, listen to me, it'll be alright. Qianru, the chief maid is home right? ''

''Yes. ''

"I'll call her now with my other phone, okay? ''

''Okay. ''

Liling nodded, biting on her lower lips, she was no longer seeing clearly, the pain was quite unbearable.

''Just stay with me okay. It'll be fine.''

Liu Wei picked his second phone and called Qianru. It rang twice before she picked.

''Young master? …''

''Go to my bedroom now! Liling is in pains! Now!! ''

Qianru, who was sleepy, flung out of the bed and out of the room. She rushed upstairs and pushed the door open, only to see Liling shaking and red all over.

''What's wrong? ''

She walked towards her and shifted the covers of her body.

''My God…''

''WHAT IS IT?''

Liu Wei, who was still on the call with Liling screamed.

Liling's lips could not move, the phone fell slowly from her hand and she blanked out.

''Liling? Liling!! ''

Liu Wei was frantic as he screamed her name but no-one responded.

Qianru picked up the phone and said;
