Larissa smiled in her sleep. After deciding to keep the child, she would have to deal with the difficulties
that came with pregnancy, Lucky for her, the child was well-behaved and didn’t bring her much trouble.
Aside from experiencing an increased appetite and constant drowsiness, Larissa didn’t feel much
different than usual, it was just that it became more cumbersome for her to move about as her belly
grew bigger with each passing day.
In the middle of July, Larissa received an email from a lecturer at Wendy’s university informing her that
she had been accepted into a master’s course. At the end of August, she officially went to university.
When the lecturer saw her pregnant belly, he didn’t display any signs of shock or surprise; instead, he

overexert hersell.
Life as a postgraduate student was undoubtedly busy, but it wasn’t too hectic. Of course, this was
because the lecturers helped her out a little on purpose. Most of her days were occupied with attending
classes and discussing her research with her tutor and fellow group mates. She would also hang out in
the library, where she would spend time reading journals or working on her thesis.
I was almost New Year’s again in the blink of an eye. The baby was expected to arrive at the end of
January. Wendy checked the horoscope and found that the baby would probably be a Capricom. If only
the due date was a little later, then your baby would be an Aquarius! Wendy expressed, with a tinge of
disappointment.
“What’s so special about being an Aquarius?” Larissa responded, glaring at Wendy.
“Aquarius babies are absolutely adorable!” Wendy huffed and pouted, then said meekly, “But Capricom
babies are pretty cute too. think I’d better prepare two gold necklaces for the baby anyway!”
“Oh, please calm down!” Larissa exclaimed, feeling helpless. “Gold necklaces aren’t necessary. Why
would you need to get the baby two off them?
Over the course of the past eight months, Wendy diligently prepared for the arrival of the baby. She
had not only cleared out a room for the baby but also bought everything a child needed from being a
newbom till it was three years old. Among the numerous purchases, Wendy had bought clothes, shoes,
diapers, milk powder, and more. However, at the moment, she was fussing over a gold necklace.

be left speechless.
When the contractions began, Larissa was discussing her thesis with her classmates in her tutor’s
office. When the pain hit her all of a sudden, she clutched her belly and doubled over, letting out a
moan of agony. The other students called for the tutor in panic, and everyone worked together to help
Larissa downstairs. Then, the tutor drove her to the hospital and helped her inform Wendy.
Wendy wanted to stay with her in the delivery ward, but Larissa relused. She suffered alone inside for a
few hours and finally gave birth to a chubby baby boy of about 15 pounds amidst the doctors’ and
nurses’ words of encouragement. The baby’s cries pierced through the exhaustion that had nearly
lulled Larissa into sleep, compelling her to forcefully open her weary eyes.
As Larissa gazed upon her baby’s wrinkled face, tears streamed down her face. How ugly,” she
thought. However, a profound realization followed-that the baby was her child. She had camed this
child within her for nine arduous months and given birth to it after so much pain. For a fleeting moment,
she actually didn’t want to part ways with him.
