Chapter 48 - They will kill me

....

After Han Ye left, Guang Ying got up and went to Xiao Lei's room.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

He knocked thrice before he called out, "He left, Ms. Xiao Lei. You can stop hiding now."

One second later, the door was opened, thus confirming Guang Ying's suspicion that the woman had been waiting behind the door, probably with her ear stuck to the door.

She had freshened up and changed into a fresh set of clothes, but her face was still slightly red from the memory earlier. Looking at Guang Ying, her face turned even redder than earlier as she said meekly, "If you don't want me anymore… I understand…"

Looking at her expression, Guang Ying laughed softly. Other than the women he slept with, the only women his age that he knew well enough was Kai Xin... and she was definitely not as shy as this woman standing in front of him.

Guang Ying looked at Xiao Lei with an understanding gaze as he said, "I'm not going to do anything just because of something like that, but I sincerely hope that if you're pregnant, you won't drink like that… if any."

Xiao Lei shook her head and said with a very serious expression, "I don't drink during pregnancy. I might be uneducated, but I know that my actions will affect my baby. Ah! I don't smoke either, so you don't have to worry about that."

"Good to know. Well, if you're ready, let's go. Dr. Phillip is waiting for us," Guang Ying said as he looked at his watch. He then added, "Just leave your thing here first… Han Ye told me about your problem. Until I find a place for you, you'll stay in this hotel for now."

He walked to the coffee table, and after he picked up his car keys from the coffee table, he looked at her and reassured her.

"As for the issue with Murong Yu, we'll deal with it once Callum is back. Ah, that's Director Shenlong's English name. He doesn't like it when others outside of the family call him that, so don't refer to him as Callum unless he tells you so."

"Noted on the name and," Xiao Lei bowed in gratitude before she continued, "thank you, Mr. Luo."

Guang Ying smiled. "If we're going to work closely together, then please call me Guang Ying. In return, I'll call you Xiao Lei."

Xiao Lei smiled in return. "Yes, Guang Ying."

When they arrived at the hospital, they immediately went to meet Dr. Phillip at his office. When Dr. Phillip saw Xiao Lei, he had a weird expression on his face. It was as if he knew something no one else did.

"When was the last time you ate?" Dr. Phillip asked.

"Erm…" Xiao Lei thought for a second before mumbling, "Should be around 2-3 a.m. Make that 3 a.m. just to be safe."

She remembered waking up at around 1 a.m. to look for food and figured that 3 a.m. would be a good estimate.

Dr. Phillip glanced at his watch before saying, "Just to be safe, we'll give it another hour before we do the fasting blood test."

"Alright."

He then asked a few more preliminary questions. Once he was done, Dr. Phillip looked at Guang Ying and said, "I'm sure you are wondering why I called you here… But before we begin, do you mind leaving the room for a moment?"

"As if I have a say in this…" Guang Ying raised a brow at the doctor.

"Glad you know," Dr. Phillip smirked.

Guang Ying knew that Dr. Phillip would not start anything as long as he was still in the room. The doctor could be damn stubborn if he wanted to.

And so, Guang Ying sighed and stood up. He then turned to Xiao Lei and said, "I'll wait outside. Take your time."

Once he left the room, Dr. Phillip dropped the smile off from his face. He then pulled out a folder and placed it on his desk.

However, he did not pass it to Xiao Lei. Instead, he looked at her with a curious expression as he said, "I found out something interesting about you… Since you said you don't remember much about your past, I did a check on your background using your blood sample…"

He loved children and whenever he came across a child without a clear background, or if suspected anything, he would do a simple DNA match against the database of missing children. Of course, what he did was borderline illegal, but he never cared for such propriety.

He rarely did such a thing when it came to a.d.u.l.ts, but since Xiao Lei would be carrying the child of his friends, he felt an obligation to do a thorough medical background check and when he found out her secret, he was shocked.

The kid that everyone thought was dead years ago was still alive and had grown into a healthy, beautiful woman!

As for Xiao Lei, her eyes widened and she turned pale when she heard what Dr. Phillip said. She knew what he meant alright!

Looking at her pale features, Dr. Phillip sighed. "Looking at your expression, you lied to me, didn't you?"

With her fists clenched tightly, Xiao Lei averted her glances and asked, "What are you going to do now?"

"Do you want to tell them?"

Xiao Lei gulped and mumbled, "I-I…"

"If you can't, I can do it for you," Dr. Phillip said in a kind voice. When Xiao Lei looked at him, Dr. Phillip continued, "If you knew who you are but don't want to go home, then there must be something that prevented you from going home. However, if you intend to continue to be the surrogate mother for those two, then they have a right to know. I can't hide it for you and I don't want to."

When she did not reply, Dr. Phillip looked at Xiao Lei and asked in a concerned voice, "Ms. Xiao Lei… Or Ms. Fan Wushuang… Why didn't you go home?"

It took her a while to register that he had called her by her real name, and after a moment of hesitation, she murmured, "I can't…"

"What do you mean?"

"They will kill me…"

"Who?"

"Everyone in that house…" Xiao Lei clenched her fists tightly.
