Become a mother in one night Chapter 57
It was likely because Michelle Xia had spent time playing in the snow with the children that she caught a cold, leading to a fever.The next morning, Michelle woke up feeling a fog enveloping her mind, as if someone had whacked her head with a stick. Even breathing felt like a laborious task. Dazedly, she got up from bed and moved to the dining table to have her breakfast. Her mind seemed miles away, and it wasn’t until the child called out to her a couple of times that she snapped back to reality.She gave a gentle smile to the child and ruffled their hair, asking, "What's up, Lizzy?" Her voice was nasal, and her throat sounded scratchy, making speaking appear to be a strenuous task.Hearing her voice, Alex Ye looked up at her, a frown creasing his forehead. He was about to suggest having Dr. Lu come over to check on her when he remembered Dr. Lu was away in Europe for a conference that week. "Do you think you need to visit the hospital?" Alex asked, already aware of her probable res

With a simple statement, "Follow the doctor's orders," Alex Ye made the decision for Michelle Xia, leaving her somewhat displeased.Michelle's face remained expressionless, her feelings manifesting clearly on her visage. Seeing her demeanor, Alex fell silent.After some contemplation, he offered, “Would you like me to bring your laptop over?”Before Michelle could answer, the doctor who overheard them responded sternly, "The patient needs to rest." This raised the doctor's suspicions about the nature of their relationship. The thought of a young woman working so hard that she fell ill, and a man still wanting to exploit her, seemed inhumane to the physician. With this thought, the doctor cast a sympathetic glance at the young woman.Receiving the doctor's pitiful look, Michelle thought, "...What?"Although the doctor strongly advised her to rest, Michelle asked Alex to bring her laptop. In her mind, working on her computer was just a matter of moving her fingers, so it wouldn’t confli

After ending her call with Leonard Chen, Michelle Xia stole a glance at Alex Ye.She wasn't entirely aware of the significance of the 'Star Path' project to NexRealm Studios, but she did know they had poured a hefty sum into its early phases.Alex, not one to eavesdrop on someone's phone conversation, waited patiently for Michelle to finish her call. Once it seemed she was done, he approached her, "What do you fancy for lunch?"Michelle was taken aback by Alex's persistence on the matter, even waiting over ten minutes just to ask her. Wanting to send him away as soon as possible, she replied nonchalantly, "Plain rice porridge and pickled vegetables, I guess."Alex stared at her, a silent acknowledgment of her dismissive tone, but Michelle chose to ignore it.With Alex finally out of the way, she let out a sigh of relief and began drafting her update for the day. However, not long after, her mind started to haze and drowsiness seeped in. Combined with her struggles in typing, her work

After playing around with Lizzy, who was quite the drama queen, it was time for dinner.Since Michelle wasn't feeling particularly hungry due to her illness, Nora Su had specially prepared porridge for her, complemented with pickled vegetables.Michelle was a bit taken aback by the extent of the care. She was not picky and found the vegetables mixed with porridge quite appetizing.Nora, worried that Michelle might get hungry later, made an extra portion, so she could reheat it if needed.After dinner, Michelle prepared to take her medicine. But because of her decreased updates for the day, her subscription count had dropped. This made her feel uneasy, leading her to consider burning the midnight oil to make up for it.Alex Ye seemed to sense her internal debate. Seeing her linger near the water dispenser, he feigned getting water for Lizzy and casually mentioned, “Flu can relapse easily. It's best if you rest early."Then, turning to Nora Su, he inquired, “Do we have any coffee? I’d l

Hearing Alex Ye call out to her, Michelle Xia snapped back to reality. She lifted her head to gaze at him, and after a moment, said, "Thank you."Michelle always used these formal words of gratitude to create distance between them. Alex was used to it by now, and he didn't think much of it. He glanced at her and simply responded with a nonchalant "Mm-hmm."Noticing that Michelle didn't seem upset by his words, Alex felt relieved. The last thing he wanted was to upset her in front of Lizzy. The scene of both mother and daughter crying would be too much to handle. Alex thought to himself, "Better not dwell on that." He then poured himself another glass of warm water and went to sit with Lizzy, watching cartoons with her.Michelle was aware that she often thanked Alex excessively. Now, when she genuinely wanted to express her gratitude, she struggled to find the right words. Alex probably thought she was just being her usual polite self.She had always recognized that Alex treated her

That afternoon, Leonard Chen received a call from Michelle Xia. She expressed willingness to appear on a live stream alongside Brandon Su to promote "Star Path." However, she requested that they also promote her pseudonym and work during the broadcast.Brandon Su was a contracted writer with ScribeSphere, and the rights to "Star Path" had been acquired by NexRealm Studios from ScribeSphere. Michelle Xia, too, was a contracted writer with ScribeSphere. Given her involvement in the design of "Star Path's" game narrative alongside Brandon Su, her desire to promote her work during the live stream seemed reasonable.Leonard thought for a moment, then readily agreed. "Of course," he replied. "However, considering this arrangement, your compensation would be slightly reduced."Leonard wasn't a harsh leader. He wouldn't expect Michelle to help promote their game without some compensation. But given their tight budget, the fee they could offer Michelle would be modest—just enough to cover her

The next morning, Lizzy Xia walked in with a pouty, chubby face, trying her best to convey the message "Lizzy is unhappy, Lizzy is mad" to the adults in the house.Nora Su, who was preparing breakfast for the family in the kitchen, noticed the young girl's sulking demeanor as she asked for milk. Thinking the child was just being grumpy from just waking up, Nora gently ruffled Lizzy's hair. After all, kids always enjoy a few extra moments in bed. And what's a little morning grumpiness from a child? Soon enough, they cheer themselves up. Nora gave Lizzy a warm smile, retracted her hand from the girl's head, and continued with the breakfast preparations.Lizzy stared down at the sweet milk in her hands. "Oh, it's sweet milk today! Much tastier than plain milk!" Holding her delightful drink, her mood lifted, and she thought of joining her mom in the dining room for some pampering. However, just as she approached the kitchen door, she remembered she was still mad at her mom.Making sure to

Michelle chuckled when she read Alex's final comment. She was well-acquainted with her daughter's temperament. She was certain Lizzy wouldn’t remain upset by the afternoon. Besides, Michelle felt that Lizzy had just feigned her anger earlier. And Michelle didn't feel she'd done anything wrong. Surely, accidentally falling asleep because she was too tired wasn't a mistake, right? While she believed this, she still nonchalantly agreed to Alex's suggestion. She responded: "If Lizzy is still upset in the afternoon, I'll try to cheer her up."The workaholic Mr. Ye, as Alex was popularly known, didn’t respond to her message. Staring blankly at her phone screen for a while, Michelle felt she hadn't quite regained her focus and decided to rest for an additional 20 minutes.She sent Alex another message, "Thank you, Mr. Ye."Everyone knew Mr. Ye was a workaholic. He might pick up Eleanor Ye’s call during work hours, but he wouldn’t spend too much time chatting idly with her.Similarly, Mr. Ale
