Sheng Ning's belly grew bigger by the day. Initially, she could still go with Lin En to collect bottles, but later, when her belly had grown so large that she couldn't see her toes, she had no choice but to stay home.
Moreover, her calves were severely swollen, almost to the point where she couldn't walk.
At night, her belly pressed against her heart and other organs, causing her to toss and turn restlessly in bed. Sometimes, even breathing was difficult, and she often sat up crying from the makeshift floor bed in the middle of the night.
During the day, she always appeared strong and optimistic, with a smile on her face. But only heaven knew she was nearing her breaking point. She missed the Living Yama, missed everything about home.
Sheng Ning covered her face with both hands, sobbing softly.
The suppressed sobs awakened Lin En, who slept opposite her, and he also sat up.
Faint light shone through the gaps in the shack, revealing the worried look in Lin En's blue eyes.
