Mo Li was jolted awake from her sleep by a nightmare, which had caused her to break out into cold sweat while grabbing onto the duvet tightly.

She dreamed that she had lost her baby, though she was not exactly the most willing to keep it, since its existence would mean that she would have to be tied down to Ye Xiaotian for the rest of his life.

Ever since she found out about her pregnancy, she had been feeling a little excited about its arrival.

She looked forward to see what her child would look like when it was born. She was eager to know if it was a girl or a boy and even more eager to hear her child call her "Mother."

"What's the matter?" Ye Xiaotian asked as he sat up slowly.

"I had a nightmare."

"About what?" he asked.

Gazing at him, Mo Li snuggled up into his arms and said, "Xiaotian, I'm really scared."
