Chapter 1033: Baby, you are a glutton just like your mom.

“Ge Ge! You really scared me to death. I thought…” That you wouldn’t wake up again.

Tang Xiaoyu swallowed the rest of her words for fear that they would come true.

“Hahhh! I’m so hungry…”

Pei Ge yawned loudly and turned to look at her best friend through hazy vision.

“Of course. You didn’t eat anything last night, and today you’ve slept past the afternoon. How can you not be hungry?”

Her best friend reprimanded her immediately. Still, her words were filled with concern.

“What do you want to eat? I’ll go buy it for you now.”

Tang Xiaoyu looked at her gently. Noting that the sorrow on her face had faded somewhat, she felt a little more joyful.

“I… I feel like eating meat—maybe chicken—now! I don’t know why, but I’m craving it!”

She smacked her lips together like a gluttonous cat.

In fact, she did not look like a person who had just experienced many unfortunate events.

“Okay! Apparently, the stew here at this hospital is quite good. Wait a while; I’ll go to the cafeteria and buy you a bowl of chicken soup.”

Her best friend got up from her seat with a smile.

“Anything else? Is there anything else you’d like to eat?”

“Something spicy and sweet! Do they have mousse cake here? I suddenly feel like having that, too!”

She licked her lips following her best friend’s question, seemingly about to list off all the things she wanted to eat.

“…”

The other woman’s lips twitched at this.

“Your appetite is truly great.”

“Mhm. I don’t know why really, but I suddenly want to eat a lot, especially spicy and sweet food.”

She looked at the other with a baffled look. She did not know why, but ever since she woke up, her body kept sending her ‘hungry’ signals! She really wanted to eat something!

“Pfft! Okay, okay, okay! I’ll definitely buy you lots of delicious food! Still, for now, you shouldn’t bother thinking about having anything spicy. Your health isn’t at its best presently, so you must have bland and nutritious food. Forget about the spicy and oily food in the meantime.”

After refusing to buy that, her best friend fished out her phone and wallet and then made her way to the hospital canteen.

Pei Ge remained in the brightly lit and clean ward by herself thereafter.

The relaxed and happy expression she had in front of her best friend just then dimmed.

With an empty gaze, she stared out the window.

She had only pretended to be relaxed for her best friend not to worry much.

Now, she was unable to keep up the act anymore and did not want to do so.

Having been confronted with so many things, she had long lost her sincere smile.

All she felt inside right now was endless hate and sorrow.

She hated Pei Zhenghui’s family for heartlessly hurting her parents, hated Ji Ziming for lying to her, and felt sorrow at the thought of her mother who was in critical condition, as well as her weak baby…

At the thought of her baby, she gathered her wits about.

She lowered her head and lightly caressed her lower abdomen; finally, a rare and sincere smile graced her lips.

“Baby, it turns out that you are like your mother—a glutton.

“You’re truly too greedy. You aren’t even out yet, but you already want to have meat, spicy food, and even cake. What a glutton you are.”

Her whole being was currently giving off a motherly love and a blissful air.

Focusing on speaking to her baby, she temporarily forgot all her frustrations and heartaches.

“Baby, rest assured; mommy will be happy for you. I won’t let my emotions affect you anymore. Mommy still wants to make clothes for you with my hands and even cook for you!”

Just like this, she lowered her head and continued crooning at her baby, which persisted until Tang Xiaoyu returned.

“Alright, baby. Your godmother is back. She has brought you a lot of delicious food. Do you smell it? Everything is so fragrant!”

The way the former was talking to her tummy with a smile on her face frightened the latter.

She gazed at her with a touch of complexity but still decided not to comment on it.

After sorting out her emotions, she smiled and laid down all the food she had bought on the small table by the hospital bed.

“Alright. I know you’re hungry so I got you quite a lot of food. You said you wanted to eat meat, so here you go! This is all meat—chicken, fish, mutton, beef, and even pork! I bought you everything!”

As she spoke, she smilingly took out another nicely packed box.

“Also, mousse cake!”

After she took out the mousse cake and showed it to Pei Ge, she smiled in exasperation.

“This private hospital is truly quite good. It even has a dessert shop, and the taste isn’t too bad as well! I tried sampling one while they were packing this one, and it’s really good. You’ll definitely like it.”

Pei Ge looked at the table filled with food. She had not even eaten anything, but she was already feeling very satisfied.

With a gulp, she picked up her chopsticks and quickly dug in without hesitation.

She downed a bowl of chicken soup first, then a drumstick… fish… mutton…

Seeing how much she was enjoying her food, Tang Xiaoyu’s highly strung heart finally relaxed.

She had originally thought that her best friend was only purposely pretending to be happy to calm her worries, but seeing how good the former’s appetite was, she could tell that the other was at least not pretending at the moment. She was truly hungry and wanted to eat.

“It’s good that you have an appetite…”

She stared at her, her eyes glistening with tears.

“Xiaoyu, why are you still standing there? Come and eat with me! There’s so much food!”

The woman in bed suddenly raised her head to look at her before inviting the latter with a smile.

“I’m in fact hungry, too, so I might as well join you.”

Tang Xiaoyu sniffled and nodded her head. She then sat in the chair by the bed and picked up chopsticks to join her best friend in this sumptuous lunch.

Perhaps, due to the two truly being hungry or the food truly being very good, they actually managed to finish everything on the table.

Clearly, the food on the table could feed four to five people!
