Morning Vomiting

He Ming arrived home around midnight, much later than usual. He tiptoed into the bedroom and saw Ye Xiaomeng curled up, a sleeping position that showed a lack of security. He felt a pang of heartache, especially seeing how she had been tormented by morning sickness lately, her face looking noticeably thinner.

He caught a whiff of the lingering scent of smoke and alcohol on himself and furrowed his brow. He decided to take a quick shower.

When he emerged from the bathroom and lay down beside Xiaomeng, she instinctively snuggled into his arms. He smiled faintly and closed his eyes.

The next morning, as soon as Ye Xiaomeng woke up, she felt an overwhelming wave of nausea. She quickly got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom, leaning over the toilet, but since she hadn't eaten anything yet, nothing came out. She felt drained of energy.
