Chapter 485: Chapter 479 – Not Selling the Child Chapter 485: Chapter 479 – Not Selling the Child The new house was clean and bright, unlike her old one which was dark and damp.
Every day she faced three walls and a little window.

Living there for a long time had nearly made her depressed.
Under the soft blankets, Lin Yile quickly fell asleep.
But Tang Yuxin couldn’t sleep.
She took out her phone and walked onto the balcony, shutting the door behind her.
...
“Dean, it’s me, Yuxin.
I need to take a month off.
Something has come up and I can’t just leave it unattended now.”
The dean promptly approved her leave, even offering further help, promising money if needed, and manpower if required.
Perhaps it was because she was a doctor that the hospital had gone to great lengths to hire, that the dean indulged her to such an extent.
Yuxin had his backing even if her requests seemed a bit over the top.
Tang Yuxin had never had a child herself, and had no idea how to take care of a pregnant woman or the child she would give birth to.
Although she had cared for her younger brother, she had only paid attention to his physical health.
But it wasn’t just feeding, drinking, and excreting, or even following the family hierarchy.
If everything was left to her, how could she cope?
After some thought, she made another phone call.
By the time Lin Yile woke up, Tang Yuxin had already finished cooking.
The sight of the food caused Yile’s stomach to growl.
Like a shy young bride, she hesitated to come to the table.
It took her quite a while before she sheepishly sat down and started slowly picking at her food.
Yet, she was so hungry that she quickly set aside her inhibitions and began to gobble down the meal.
After the meal, Tang Yuxin washed the dishes while Lin Yile roamed aimlessly about the room.
Possessing at least a basic understanding, she knew to keep moving before the delivery as it could potentially ease the childbirth.
The next morning, Tang Yuxin took Lin Yile to the hospital.
“Do we need to sell babies for money?”
The struggle inside her mother was evident in her harsh words.
When she saw her pregnant daughter, her emotions were in total chaos.
Her once obedient daughter was now pregnant and she hadn’t seen her in months.
Just a few days before, she and her husband had been planning to move Lele back to Qing’an, where they’d find her a job, preferably close to home, so that she could visit every day.
But nothing had prepared her for the reality of her daughter’s state.
She was terrified.
If Tang Yuxin hadn’t informed her, she wouldn’t have known even after her daughter had given birth.
Both Lele and Yuxin were children themselves, how would they take care of themselves, let alone a baby?
After speaking a few words with her mother, Lin Yile succumbed to her yawning and quickly fell asleep.
Meanwhile, outside the room, her mother conversed with Tang Yuxin.
Yile got up and ventured to the door, pressing her ear against it, trying to overhear their conversation.
Don’t blame her for eavesdropping; she was genuinely scared.
“Auntie, what’s your plan?” Tang Yuxin asked.
Considering Yile’s determination, she would definitely have this baby.
But now the issue was that Yile wasn’t married, and she would have to bear the stigma of having a child out of wedlock.
In ten years or so, it might not be a big deal, but now, she was aware that public opinion could indeed ruin someone’s life.
After all, the current mindset was more conservative compared to the future.
“What else can I do?” her mother sighed.
“The baby is my granddaughter, after all.
You may think my LeLe is obedient, but she can be even more stubborn than a donkey when she sets her mind on something.
I fear that if the baby is lost or given away, Lele might be devastated too.”
“And besides, I can’t bear to let go of the baby either.
It is a product of Lele’s hardship.
Look at her, she has become so skinny.” Saying that, she wiped away a tear.
If Lele couldn’t bear to let go, how could her granny?
