Chapter 69 - Manless

"I don't know. He just texted me asking you to wait here," Shi Luo glanced at Yu Mei worriedly.

They were currently standing in front of the newborn baby nursery in the hospital. Through the transparent section of the door, they could see the kids sleeping in their cribs. A few of them were crying their lungs out

Yu Mei clicked her tongue, "Out of all the places, why would he ask us to wait here?"

"It looks like Miss Yu is not fond of kids."

Both the women turned around to glance at the man who spoke.

"Dr. Tony," Shi Luo greeted the man while Yu Mei simply nodded at him.

The doctor was a man somewhere around in his early thirties fitting perfectly in the 'tall, dark, handsome and gentle' category. The man adjusted his glasses before looking at them, "Follow me, ladies…"

Yu Mei and Shi Luo exchanged glances before following after him.

As they entered his office, he offered them seats before walking to the other side.

Taking a seat, Dr. Tony glanced at Yu Mei, "I asked you to wait there because I wanted to know your opinion about kids."

Yu Mei raised an eyebrow.

"So, Miss Yu, what do you think about them?"

"Troublesome," Yu Mei propped her face on her arms before continuing, "You can play with them for an hour at two if that's what we are talking about."

"What about having your own child?"

She frowned. Why were they even talking about that?

''I can't reproduce asexually. I need a man to mate with but I'm manless. So, having a kid is out of the question," She shrugged.

Dr. Tony: "_"

Shi Luo slapped her forehead. Why is she so cranky today?

Dr. Tony cleared his throat, "It's a hypothesis, Miss Yu. I am just asking your honest opinion about having kids."

"The idea of a little devil clinging to me, puking on me, peeing and pooping on my bed or in my wardrobe terrifies. Thanks but no thanks, I don't want a kid or a man in my life,'' Yu Mei shook her head.

As a child, she was the most troublesome one. While growing up, Jian Yu has always treated her tenderly like a warm father. She was sure that if there was someone else in his place, they would have thrown her out of the window.

"Dr. Tony, it will be better if you just talk about my condition rather than going around in circles," Yu Mei spoke up looking at the man's solemn expressions.

"Miss Yu, you have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome."

Shi Luo stilled.

Looking at Yu Mei's nonchalant expressions, the doctor continued, "It is basically a hormonal disorder causing…"

She stopped him, "I am not an expert with medical terms, you should explain the negative effects and treatment instead."

Dr. Tony nodded, "This condition is found in nearly 5 out of 100 women. Treatments can help but the condition can't be cured, it will last for years or life long. As for its negative effects on you…it leads to menstrual irregularity, acne, and obesity."

Yu Mei nodded. That explains why this body is in such a condition, ''So, what can be done about my current condition?" She asked, pointing her finger towards her obese body.

Dr. Tony shook his head, "You don't need to worry about that. If you take care of a few things, this condition won't be a threat to you. I'll prescribe some medicines. Just make sure to take them regularly and you need to work out at least once a day. Accompanied with the medicines, if you work out properly, you should be able to lose weight with a proper diet."

Her expression stiffened at the last sentence.

''You don't have to starve yourself. Just make sure you are following a healthy diet routine. Once you've recovered, you can opt for any kind of food but you can never drop your workout schedule."

After writing a few medications with instructions, he passed them to her.

"Thank you," She looked at him gratefully before standing up from her chair.

"Wait, Miss Yu. There is one more thing…"

After talking to the Doctor, Shi Luo wanted to come with her but she wanted some space.

As Yu Mei sat on the wooden bench in the hospital garden, Mia appeared on her lap striking an elegant pose.

"You don't like children…" The fox said after reading her thoughts, "Then are you sad when you can't have one?"

Yu Mei recalled the doctor's words, "Your current condition is more severe than the other women suffering from PCOS. It will be difficult for you to get pregnant and even if you are pregnant, there will be an increased risk of complications. By any chance, if you develop preeclampsia during pregnancy, then it might be life-threatening to both you and your children. It'd be best for you to not try to have kids in the future."

"There is a difference between I don't want to and I can't have kids,'' Yu Mei picked up the fox in her arms before stroking the crimson lotus imprint on its forehead, "Besides, I am not sad. I was just at a loss…"

Mia opened her mouth, showing her canine teeth, ready to bite the woman's unruly finger but she stopped at the last moment. Somehow, she did not want to hurt this woman.

It was strange. It has been two days since she was reading this woman's mind but she still could not understand her at all. She wanted to know what kind of person could easily bind her to a contract and be her master.

But even for a fox like her, Yu Mei was difficult to comprehend.

The woman might look bubbly and happy all the time but her mind is like a dark abyss. Despite having the warmest smile, she has a heart made of ice. Often dumb about little things, but her lethal brain could bring nations down.

An extremely ruthless woman.

Mia squinted. Having a Master like this, she did not know whether it was a boon or a bane.

"It seems like you don't want to hurt me anymore?" Yu Mei chuckled looking at the fox's reluctant expression as it retracted its canines.

''HUMPH!!" Two suspicious red patches appeared on the silver fox's cheeks.

"How cute!!"

"I am a mighty existence. Don't use such disgusting words for me…" The fox disappeared.
