Chapter 494: Human Shadow (8)

After learning that she was pregnant, Ma Jiayi has not been sleeping well enough. She was always half-asleep and half-awake when she felt someone touching her belly. The way of touching was strange, not the way the doctor palpated, nor like someone touching the skin of the mother's body out of cherishing the child, nor the feeling of her own curiosity caressing her own skin.

The hand, with a strange rhythm, as if to confirm something, touched her belly. Ma Jiayi felt it several times, only to realize that the hand was not confirming the fetus in her womb, but confirming herself.

Is there something wrong with her?

Could it be that there is some kind of disease?

Ma Jiayi's first thought was this, and then, she felt a little frightened.

Who was touching her?

Doctor? Warp and weft? Shi Juan?

Ma Jiayi's faces flashed in her mind, and after denying them one by one, she became more and more nervous and afraid.

At the height of that emotion, the images stopped on a familiar and unfamiliar face.

She hadn't seen that person in over three years.

The period when she was most impressed by that face was when she was a child, looking up at each other. Only then will she use her eyes to trace the other person's appearance, and out of a child's curiosity, she will compare the other person's appearance with her own.

After that, she didn't look closely at the face.

People who get along day and night, why should they take a closer look? The other party is wrapping herself in a dumpling, and she can recognize each other from the crowd at a glance.

She didn't expect that one day, when this face appeared in front of her, it would take her a few seconds to determine the identity of the other party.

I have the impression that my hand has touched the top of my head, my face, and my body.

It's a nostalgic feeling.

Including the other party's action of touching her stomach and confirming her condition, she still remembers it vividly.

At the same time, the memory of chills and abdominal cramps also spread throughout the body.

"It hurts......"

"Where does it hurt? Is this it? Over here? How does it hurt? Did you eat something bad? What did you eat before? ”

"It hurts......"

"I'll dress you, and we'll go to the hospital now."

"I don't want to. Don't get a shot. ”

"It hurts without an injection. Do you want pain, or do you want to get an injection? ”

"Hmm......"

"Good. It is not necessary to have an injection. Let's go see the doctor first, shall we? Come, sit up, put your coat on. ”

"I'm in so much pain......"

"I know, I know. Bear with me. ”

"It hurts...... Mommy ......"

Ma Jiayi opened her eyes suddenly, hugged her stomach tightly with both hands, and curled up in the shape of a shrimp on the bed.

She was covered in cold sweat, sticky and damp, and very uncomfortable. There was a faint pain in the stomach, as if the previous pain was still on the body, and it seemed like it was really hurting, as if a sharp blade was stirring in the stomach.

Ma Jiayi wanted to ring the bell to call the doctor, and then thought of Shi Juan, who was sleeping on the bed next to her tonight.

Her breathing was a little louder, and her hand reached out of the covers, groping at the head of the bed.

"Hmm......"

There was a noise behind him, as if someone had been woken up.

Ma Jiayi just breathed a sigh of relief and wanted Shi Juan to call someone, but she stiffened suddenly.

The sound came from behind, but it was close, close at hand.

The single room in the private hospital where she now lives does not require her family to place the escort bed close to the bed, and the escort bed will not be too small to be squeezed into the gap between the bed and the bed, or between the bed and the wall.

Shi Juan's escort bed was placed against the wall, two or three steps away from the hospital bed where she was lying.

So, who was the person who stuck behind her and was lying in a hospital bed with her?

The cold sweat on Ma Jiayi's back was replaced by goosebumps. Her hairs stood on end, and she couldn't feel any pain for a while.

"What's wrong? Having a nightmare? A gentle and vague voice, with a sense of sleepiness, sounded behind Ma Jiayi.

Ma Jiayi heard the sound of rustling and felt the vibration of getting out of bed under her body.

The man posted it......

The temperature belonging to others was attached to Ma Jiayi's back, but Ma Jiayi only felt colder.

A huge hand pressed against her stomach.

Ma Jiayi was about to scream.

"Stomach ache? Is the baby fussing in your belly? ”

Ma Jiayi's scream was stuck in her throat. She lowered her eyes in horror and bewilderment, and the hand that reached out of the bed was retracted and pressed against her stomach.

It's so big......

The belly is high and bulging, and the nest is pushed out in an arc.

It was only then that she felt her stomach feel heavy.

Her belly had never been so big and heavy. The huge belly seemed to be dragging her whole body down, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Suddenly, something moved under the belly.

Ma Jiayi was startled, and felt that hand that did not belong to her gently stroked her belly.

"Obediently, the baby goes to sleep, don't make any noise about the mother. Sleep, sleep, sleep......"

The big hand gently stroked her belly.

Ma Jiayi felt the fetus in her womb slowly quiet down.

Ma Jiayi looked ahead blankly and saw the bedside table in front of her.

There is a picture frame on the bedside table.

Through the moonlight, Ma Jiayi saw two strange people in the frame.

Strange man, strange woman......

Also, unfamiliar rooms.

Ma Jiayi was confused.

Is she dreaming?

If it's a dream, you should wake up soon, right?

Her stomach was so heavy that she felt so tired.

Her consciousness was as heavy as her stomach, falling into darkness for a moment, and waking up for the next.

"Why are you asleep here? What should I do if I catch a cold? ”

Ma Jiayi was woken up, opened her eyes, and looked at the woman in front of her in a daze.

"I'm going to be a mother, and I'm still like a child." The woman with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes frowned, and many wrinkles were squeezed out between her eyebrows. She put a small blanket over Ma Jiayi. "Don't fall asleep anymore. I'll go down for a walk with you later. You've got to get moving. Eat so much, don't exercise, and have to suffer when you are born. Really...... You young people...... Fortunately, Xiao Chen is here. I used to dislike him for being old, but now I know that you should find an older person to take care of, you can't live alone, find a young one, both of them are like children......"

The woman nagged and turned away.

Ma Jiayi stared at her intently, and as the woman turned around, she turned her head and stretched her neck, until she saw the other party enter the bathroom and disappear, before she froze and remained motionless.

After a while, the woman came out with a mop, and the words did not stop.

Ma Jiayi didn't listen carefully to what she said, just stared at her without blinking, her eyes full of longing.

Her body protested first.

The fetus in her belly kicked her foot and kicked her belly.

Ma Jiayi turned her head in pain and held her stomach with both hands.

That's a big belly.

Ma Jiayi no longer wondered why she had such a big belly at this time.

“…… When I'm done, we'll go down. Xiao Chen should also come back later. When will he go to the field again? He was too busy with work, and it took him ten days and a half to leave. ”

"He has a big business, and he can't help it." Ma Jiayi blurted out, and was stunned after speaking.

An unfamiliar sound came from her mouth.

Ma Jiayi touched her lips, down her chin, and on her throat. The tentacles feel rough, the lips and skin are not elastic, and the chin is slightly larger. When he speaks, the cheek muscles pull, moving the teeth and jaw, and the tongue touches the roof of the jaw and touches the teeth......

She vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Alright. Let's go downstairs. ”

Ma Jiayi was shrouded in shadows, raised her face, and saw her mother smiling.

That smile did not make Ma Jiayi kind and nostalgic, but a little crazy.

Ma Jiayi was pulled up, like a marionette, and was helped to change shoes, go out, and go downstairs......

The cramped passage of the community made Ma Jiayi feel uncomfortable.

There is not a single tree around, it is all parking space. The few cars I saw along the way were not good cars, some were old, and some were dusty.

Ma Jiayi subconsciously covered her mouth and nose in disgust.

It seems to be an old neighborhood, with low houses and mottled and falling walls.

It's strange, how could she live in such a place?

She should live in ......

“…… I have my eye on the house here. Look at this name, Shang Yi Xinyuan, there happens to be a word that is the same as my name. Do you think it's good? ”

In her memory, she was delicate and delicate to Jingwei, and within a few words, Jingwei agreed to buy a house in Shangyi Xinyuan. Although the house is not listed in her name, she has full control over the selection, decoration and residence.

She always thought about how to get Jingwei to give the house to herself, but Wu Jingwei was the one who was generous, cash, credit cards, jewelry, clothes and cosmetics...... I can send it at will, but I am not willing to send a house. Or should it be said that she has not yet reached the point of letting Wu Jingwei send tens of millions of yuan of real estate. But think about it carefully, even if it is not a house worth tens of millions of dollars in Shang Yixinyuan, Wu Jingwei has some old houses that he bought many years ago, and now the market value is two or three million, he didn't live there, he just found someone to list and rent out, he didn't ask about the rent, and he was as generous as he treated her, but he didn't mention that he wanted to give the house to her. Wu Jingwei allowed her to swipe hundreds of thousands of credit cards every month, so she could use it for three or four years, enough for several small houses, but she never gave the house seriously, and I don't know what the psychology is.

Ma Jiayi's mind drifted away all of a sudden.

She has been wondering what kind of person Wu Jingwei is all these years, and at this moment, along with her thoughts, other thoughts have been suppressed.

She had a guess in her mind.

She is Wu Jingwei's favorite little lover, carefully dressing herself up to make Wu Jingwei happy. Those old houses can't make Wu Jingwei happy. Shang Yi Xinyuan's new house is a gorgeous cage that flatters her, which is enough to satisfy Wu Jingwei.

In other words, Wu Jingwei has never taken her to heart or in his eyes.

"Miss Ma."

Ma Jiayi turned her head when she heard the sound and saw Shi Juan.

"You're awake? Do you want to get up and wash? How did you sleep last night? Shi Juan chatted and asked about her situation, and opened the curtains in the ward.

Sunlight floods the room.

Ma Jiayi wanted to answer, but she didn't know how to answer for a while.

"I ...... I had a very strange dream. Ma Jiayi sighed.

It was as if she had lived her life all over again, living a life that her parents expected her to live.

Thinking of this, Ma Jiayi's face sank.

The kind of old house as cramped and cramped as her hometown made her unhappy. Even if you have a house like that, will it be more comfortable than Shang Yixin Garden? What she really wants is a house in Shang Yi Xinyuan. Now she just lives, and later she will really have it.

Ma Jiayi sat up, saw her lower abdomen that was not yet bulging, and subconsciously put her hand on it.

"Sick to your stomach?" Shi Juan asked.

Ma Jiayi shook her head, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

She went to the ward's own bathroom. Her makeup case was on the sink. This is far worse than the cosmetics on the wall in Shang Yixinyuan's house.

Ma Jiayi's eyes swept over Armani's lipstick, and instantly thought of the graffiti in the living room of Shang Yi Xinyuan, remembering that almost all of her cosmetics had been destroyed and had not been replanted. The contents of this little makeup box are all her current cosmetics.

Ma Jiayi was in a bad mood and dressed herself up with a temper.

When she came out of the bathroom, she saw that breakfast was already on the small table in the ward.

"This morning it's shrimp porridge and boiled eggs." Shi Juan introduced.

The color of the shrimp porridge is very beautiful, red and green on a white background, with meat and vegetables, and it is rich in nutrition.

Ma Jiayi nodded with satisfaction, took a bite of the peeled egg first, and immediately frowned, "Why isn't it a soft-hearted egg?" ”

"You're pregnant now, it's best to eat fully cooked food." Shi Juan explained.

Ma Jiayi put down the egg in disgust, "Isn't it okay to use sterile eggs?" ”

"Let's be on the safe side." Shi Juan said, "This is breakfast in the hospital. Whatever you want to eat at noon, I'll go back and make it. ”

"Whatever." Ma Jiayi didn't have much appetite, didn't touch the egg again, picked up the porridge bowl, and slowly drank a few sips of porridge, "When will I be discharged from the hospital?" ”

"The doctor said he could be discharged at any time. Mr. Wu said last time, it depends on your thoughts. Shi Juan replied.

Ma Jiayi has no physical problems, mainly because of mental pressure, plus she didn't know that she was pregnant before, and she didn't pay much attention to her eating habits, and some indicators were not very good after examination. Next, just pay attention to it. Now that she has Shi Juan's care, she doesn't have to worry about any more problems.

Ma Jiayi didn't want to stay in the hospital ward, so she immediately asked Shi Juan to go through the discharge procedures.

As soon as Shi Juan left, she was the only one left in the ward.

The shrimp porridge is very warm, a few degrees higher than the ward with central air conditioning, and it is held in the palm of her hand, which makes Ma Jiayi feel very comfortable. She wasn't hungry yet, and she wasn't in a hurry to eat the porridge, she only used it as a prop to warm her hands.

Looking at the scenery outside the window a little bored, Ma Jiayi's mind was empty.

Outside the window is a green hill, not high, and some distance from the hospital's inpatient building, so you can only see a piece of green, and you can't see the scenery in the mountains.

For the first time, Ma Jiayi knew that there were mountains next to the city.

Between Aoyama and the hospital is a low-rise villa, which is said to be a high-end nursing home belonging to the same company as this private hospital.

Ma Jiayi was sent here for an examination, only to learn that Wu Jingwei and the woman's parents lived in the villa of the nursing home below, and the two old couples were in the same villa and had been together day and night for almost ten years. Wu Jingwei also went to visit the four elderly people with the woman and the child every month.

This is not what Wu Jingwei told Ma Jiayi. He just casually asked a familiar doctor about the situation of the four old people, Ma Jiayi pricked up his ears and listened for a long time, and then asked the doctor and nurse to knock on the side, and then heard this.

Ma Jiayi thought about this with some irritation.

No wonder Wu Jingwei believes in that woman so much...... No wonder that woman was emboldened...... The status of her and that woman in Wu Jingwei's mind is worlds apart. She's just a canary raised by Wu Jingwei...... Just a pet.

The sound of bones rattling was like the movement of wheels rubbing against the ground.

Ma Jiayi just thought that there was a nurse's cart passing by outside, lowered her head, and scooped a spoonful of porridge.

The spoon stopped at her lips, Ma Jiayi heard the sound of the door opening, and asked casually, "Have you completed the formalities?" After asking, thinking that it was really a private hospital and there was no need to wait in line, she slowly and methodically sent the spoonful of porridge into her mouth.

There was a chill in her mouth, as if she had been stuffed with a piece of ice, which made Ma Jiayi's face change.

She spit out the porridge in one gulp.

The bowl in my hand is still warm, how can this spoon ......

Ma Jiayi endured her nausea and carefully looked at the white porridge that had just been spit on the table. There was no ice there, just a shrimp.

Could it be that the hospital uses frozen shrimp to cook porridge, and the shrimp has not melted, right?

Ma Jiayi felt sick and lost her good feelings about the private hospital.

"Giggle......" The child's laughter sounded behind him.

Ma Jiayi turned her head in confusion.

The room was empty and there was no second person.

"Shi Juan?" Ma Jiayi screamed.

There was no one to see, only the sound of footsteps and staggering into the bathroom.

Ma Jiayi frowned.

Did a child run into the room?

Ma Jiayi put down the porridge bowl, got up and walked to the bathroom.

There was no one in the bathroom either.

"Who? Come out? Ma Jiayi drank and walked into the room, "Come out for me, do you hear?" ”

She looked around, then opened the door again and looked out into the hallway.

There was no one in the hallway, and I could see someone sitting behind the nurse's desk not far away. This is the second person Ma Jiayi saw after waking up today. Other than that, there is no one anymore.

Ma Jiayi scolded secretly, it is estimated that the child has already run away, and the previous footsteps are not running to the bathroom, but running in the corridor......

She wanted to call the nurse to complain, but she thought that she would be discharged from the hospital today, and she didn't bother to call someone.

Ma Jiayi closed the door and turned around.

Boom.

A palm-sized toy car came out of nowhere and hit Ma Jiayi's toe headlong.

Ma Jiayi was startled, looked forward along the butt of the car, and saw her hospital bed.

The car seemed to have come out of under the hospital bed.

Ma Jiayi's mind flashed, the person had already taken three steps and made two steps, kicked away the toy car, came to the bed, squatted down, bowed down, and looked at the bottom of the bed.

There was nothing under the bed.

Ma Jiayi was stunned.

If it's not under the bed, where did the car come from?

She grabbed the edge of the bed and straightened up, and when she looked up, she saw a small face on the other side of the bed.

Ma Jiayi was stunned again.

She looked under the bed just now, but she didn't see anything, the other side of the bed was empty, and there were no feet......

The child shrank his head and disappeared.

Ma Jiayi's hand trembled, and her head seemed to be pulled by something, and she lowered it to the bottom of the bed.

Under the bed, there was still nothing, no one in sight, no feet in sight.

Ma Jiayi jumped up like crazy, threw herself on the bed, and stuck her head on the other side of the bed.

No one.

No one at all.

Ma Jiayi turned over, walked around the bed, opened the bedside table, checked the wardrobe, and went under the bed to look for it.

Still, no one.

She snorted and gasped, only to feel a trace of cool air in her lungs and out of her mouth, and she shivered from the cold.

What did she see just now?

The kid...... What is it?

Ma Jiayi glared at the toy car that was still overturned on the carpet.

It was like a remote-controlled car with a battery cover on the bottom.

Thinking like this, Ma Jiayi saw the four wheels of the car spinning slowly.
