Chapter 39 Grief And Healing

• Mei’s pov
• I couldn’t eat. I tried really I did because of my baby but the whiff of even the tasties dishes made me want to haul if I didn’t get rid of it. Liang sat opposite me and was glaring at a spot on the wall as if it was responsible for me not being able to eat. It wasn’t. We had even gone to the clinic and the doctor said nothing was wrong witg either me or the baby and that it was probably my body’s way of grieving. I felt guilty that my own body was rebelling against my child’s nourishment. I had already stressed this baby enough yesterday when I heard my father was dead. I didn’t want to deprive it of food too. But my body wouldn’t cooperate. I would have forced myself but I knew I would just throw everything back up.
