Qiao Chenfei's relaxed face revealed complex emotions, as though he was happy for me but also seemed to be disappointed.
"…" I was stunned for a few seconds, thinking that I had misheard. "What did you say?"
I sat up and stared at Qiao Chenfei, wanting to confirm if what he said was true.
I asked excitedly, "Doctor, am I really pregnant? Is that true? "
I still couldn't believe it. I was almost sentenced to death in childbirth, and I didn't expect it to happen again.
"Yes, you are."
God, I'm so happy! I'm really pregnant!
Suppressing the jubilant heart in my chest, I asked the doctor, "How many months has it been?"
"That's what I came to ask you." The doctor smiled, flipped open the chart in his hand, and took out a pen to take notes. "When was your last period?"
Her question stunned me for a moment. I quickly recalled it and in the next moment, I felt as though I had fallen into an icehouse.
My aunt hasn't been here in almost two months. Due to the fact that it was forbidden, Zhang Xuan didn't pay much attention to it. He thought that it would be possible for him to arrive in a short period of time just like before, so he didn't expect that it would be a pregnancy.
However, based on my calculations, the day of my conception is the day that I was kidnapped by the South American. That night, not only did I get intimate with Lou Shaotang, I even had a relationship with him.
Then, who is this child, this child?
A chill ran through my body, and cold sweat oozed from every pore. I clutched the sheet beneath me, trying to hide my fear.
"Xiao Ying, what's wrong?" Seeing my pale face with the smile frozen, Qiao Chenfei asked worriedly.
I took a quick, quiet breath, shook my head with forced calmness, and laughed again. "It's all right." To the doctor: "I'm sorry, I don't remember."
The doctor didn't care about him and smiled, "It doesn't matter. Later, I will make you a Yin-Yang Mirror, and you will know after seeing the size of the embryo." Closing the file, "Mr. Qiao told me about your situation just now. This is a miracle, congratulations. However, since your abortion rate is very high, you must be extra careful. Pay more attention to rest and don't overwork yourself. It's best if you stay in bed for the first three months. "
And then: "By the way, where's your husband? Didn't he come? I still have some things I want to tell him. "
I was slightly surprised that she didn't know who I was. But hearing her ask about Lou Shaotang, the puzzlement was immediately replaced with sorrow.
"He has something to do, so he might be a bit late."
The doctor smiled. "Alright then, you rest first. When he comes, ask him to come find me."
With that, she and the nurse left.
With the ward door closed, it was as if my heart was pressed down by a thousand kilogram stone. Even breathing had become difficult.
Why? Why did God joke with me like that!
Because I never thought that I would get pregnant again, I didn't take any medicine when relationship with Di Jin. However, the pregnancy I had on that day made me not know who it belonged to.
I can't kill him now, what if it's Lou Shaotang's? This child is not easy to come by, it's something I want even in my dreams. The doctor also said that it's a miracle, and if I knock him out, he might not be able to bear me again in the future.
But what if it was Di Jin's, in the end, what if it was?
At that time, Lou Shaotang would know that Di Jin and I went to wrong bed. It was a bolt out of the blue for him. He would have been shocked, more miserable than me. Besides, everyone will know that I'm wearing a green hat, so where is his dignity?!
He couldn't fight, nor could he stay.
What should he do? What should I do?
How about I confess to him as soon as possible. Although the pain cannot be avoided, it's better than him passively knowing about it in the future.
But I didn't want him to suffer. I didn't want him to get hurt.
My heart was at odds with each other, I was struggling, I was in pain, I felt like the whole world was about to collapse, and I couldn't help but cover my face and cry.
"Xiao Ying, don't cry, nothing will happen to Lou Shaotang."
Qiao Chenfei's pained and worried voice slipped into my ears. I was stunned for a moment, and then stopped crying.
Yeah, how could I forget that Lou Shaotang still has to face prosecution and jail time. Then I couldn't confess to him, or it would be a double whammy.
I looked up slowly, my face wet with tears, my palms wet.
Qiao Chenfei looked at me with a pained expression. "Don't cry, you're pregnant now. He used a tissue to wipe the tears off my face. "Don't worry, Lou Shaotang will be out very soon. Nothing will happen to him."
He thought that I was crying because Lou Shaotang was facing a prison sentence and he was comforting me.
But it was of no use to me, and only made more painful.
I brushed his hand away and wiped away my tears, brushing my wet hair from my cheek. "How do you know? "Are you a judge?"
My tone was unconsciously sarcastic again.
Qiao Chenfei's Adam's apple rolled slightly. He slowly lowered his hand, tightly grabbed onto a tissue, pursed his lips, and said: "If I said he would be fine, then he will be fine. Rest assured, your child will not be born without a father. "
When I heard him talk about children again, my heart ached even more. My heart was in turmoil again.
"Leave, I want to be alone."
I looked out the window. The sun was blazing outside the window, but my heart was in a torrential downpour.
"I just called Liu Sao. I'll leave when she comes."
I was surprised and turned my head around. "Why did you call Liu Sao?"
Since Liu Sao knew that I was pregnant, then Shen Yiru definitely knew as well. Before I had decided how to handle this matter, I didn't plan to tell anyone else. I had originally wanted to ask Qiao Chenfei to keep this a secret for me, but who would have thought that his words would come out so quickly.
I was annoyed.
"I told her to take care of you, but I still have other things to do, so I'm worried about you alone." he explained.
The problem is, it's getting trickier!
Seeing that I was upset, Qiao Chenfei comforted me, "Xiao Ying, don't let your thoughts run wild. Right now, the most important thing for you is to properly nurture your baby, leave the rest to me."
"Leave it to you?" I laughed sadly. "What can you do?!"
Qiao Chenfei was silent, looking at me with a serious face.
Just as he was about to kick him out again, Liu Sao came in from the outside.
"Eldest Young Lady!" Seeing me, Liu Sao became extremely excited, and went straight to the sickbed.
Qiao Chenfei stood up. Liu Sao respectfully called out to him again, "Second Young Master."
Qiao Chenfei nodded, and instructed: "Take good care of Eldest Young Lady, I'll be leaving first."
Second Young Master, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of Eldest Young Lady. Liu Sao was all smiles as he nodded his head repeatedly in agreement.
Qiao Chenfei looked at me and his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something to me. But in the end, he didn't say anything and left the ward.
After he left, Liu Sao placed the thermos bottle on the bedside table and said: "That's great, Eldest Young Lady! God has opened your eyes and finally got you pregnant! "
She was beaming, as if she had been blessed, but my heart was as bitter as if I had eaten coptis.
This was not an eye-opening joke, this was a joke.
What a joke.
Fatal joke.
Liu Sao opened the thermos pot, scooped a bowl of porridge and gave it to me, but I didn't have the slightest bit of appetite for it now. I placed the porridge on the bedside and asked: "Does Shen Yiru know yet?"
Perhaps thought that I was letting Shen Yiru know, Liu Sao immediately took credit and said: "Of course. After Second Young Master finished calling me, I immediately told this good news to First Lady. "
As this was to be expected, my mood didn't fluctuate. I could only sigh and ask again, "How did she react?"
"She didn't say anything, but I can see that she's happy in her heart. It's just that the matter of Eldest Young Master has made her too sad and worried, so she didn't show it."
Liu Sao had never lied to me before, so I believed that what she said was the truth. But the happier Shen Yiru was, the more uneasy and terrified I became.
If this child found out that it wasn't Lou Shaotang's, and wanted to beat him down, I could imagine what kind of storm I would face.
"Then what about the other people from Lou Family? Do they know? "
I heaved a sigh of relief. At least it wasn't too bad.
Liu Sao picked up the bowl of porridge on the bedside table, "Eldest Young Lady, I know you have no appetite, but for a baby, eat a little more." She scooped up a spoonful and handed it to me. "I added your favorite Yao Zhu inside. It tastes really good. Try it."
Seeing that she cared so much about me and didn't want to brush off this kindness, I didn't refuse anymore and ate the congee with my mouth wide open.
Liu Sao was very happy that I was willing to eat it, so she scooped another spoonful to feed it to me.
"I'll do it myself." I took the bowl from her.
"Alright." Liu Sao laughed, and helped me adjust the pillow behind my back, so that I could lean on more comfortably. She asked me, "Eldest Young Lady, if you have anything else to eat, tell me. I'll buy it for you."
I smiled faintly. "No need."
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of going to a doctor to ask about something, so he changed his tone and said, "I want to eat some fruits, how about you help me buy some?"
"Ok, what kind of fruit do you want to eat?" Liu Sao asked actively.
I said a few casually and Liu Sao took them down one by one before helping me buy them.
As soon as she was gone, I went to the doctor's office. Halfway there, he heard a few nurses discussing, and realised that this doctor had just been transferred over from outside, no wonder she didn't know that I was Lou Shaotang's wife. He was secretly glad that he was like this, lest this matter spread like a scandal.
It turned out that this person had been pregnant several times when she was in love with someone, and the uterine wall had thinned out. Now she wanted a child, but it would be difficult for her to get pregnant. She cried as she spoke, but there was nothing the doctor could do about it. He gave her professional advice and told her to make the test tube.
As soon as the patient left, the next patient asked the doctor if she could do the abortion right away, because she had to get back to her hometown tomorrow to marry her boyfriend.
I was speechless, why is this person so shameless! However, thinking about it in this day and age, what oddity had there not appeared to be?!
The doctor should have the same thoughts as me, so he immediately scolded her shamelessly, "You think the hospital is opened by your family? You can have surgery whenever you want!?" If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have done it. The operation time cannot be changed, you should change the wedding date! "
After being pouted, the patient blushed and left dejectedly. The doctor shook his head helplessly and sighed at me, "This world is really strange. I don't want children that are easy to bear and don't want ones that are easy to bear." He put the medical record aside.
"Yeah." I smiled in agreement and sat down across from her.
Seeing that I came alone, the doctor was a little surprised. "Where's your husband? Still not here? "
"He was away on a business trip. He didn't come back so soon." I lied again.
The doctor smiled in understanding. "Why did you come to me?"
The question that I wanted to ask was a little hard to answer. I pursed my lips and after a few seconds of silence, I mustered up my courage to ask, "I would like to ask if I can get a paternity test during pregnancy?"
