Eventually, although everyone was on guard for the entire afternoon, Chu He did not vomit. Uncle Fu was overjoyed! Probably this early stage of pregnancy had come to an end!
From here on, there was no need to be overly cautious although they still could not completely relax. When Gu Jinglian came home from work at night and everyone sat around the dining table, the man picked up some red braised pork for her and urged her to eat a few pieces of meat. After she ate it, there was no sign of nausea.
Madam Qin exclaimed happily, “Chu He, you don’t feel unwell?”
“Uh huh, I don’t!” Chu He grinned and said, “There won’t be any vomiting from now on!”
“Waaaaa!” Madam Qin immediately beamed with joy. She and Butler Fu looked at each other, both extremely gratified!
“It’s good that there’s no more nausea. You can finally start nourishing your body!” Butler Fu said with heartache, “You haven’t been able to eat much during this period and that has made everyone in the household nervous. Even Old Master hasn’t slept well for a few days, being constantly worried that you’ll feel unwell.”
Gu Jinglian cleared his throat and shot him a warning look, annoyed at the man for speaking out of turn.
Butler Fu smiled. “Old Master is shy. He dotes on his wife and doesn’t want it to be spoken aloud!”
“Butler Fu!” Gu Jinglian issued another warning, this time making Butler Fu so nervous that he fell silent.
Chu He covered her mouth and chuckled.
“Alright, stop scaring Butler Fu already!” Having said that, she turned to Butler Fu. “Butler Fu, I’ve made you and Madam Qin worried these days! I’m not sure what happened overnight. When I woke up, I was craving some oil and meat. Almost dying for it! After eating the drumsticks and ribs, I didn’t feel sick or nauseous. It’s really amazing.”
“The same happened to me when I was pregnant. This pregnancy reaction came and went suddenly! This simply means that your pregnancy reaction is gone.”
Chu He nodded, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
Pregnancy reactions were too torturous. She had no idea how she had managed to get through it alive. It was too tough. She felt tormented, and so did everyone else around her! Fortunately, that was now history.
After the pregnancy reaction period had passed, Madam Qin and Butler Fu busied themselves with keeping the mother-to-be nourished.
Previously, she had thrown up almost everything she ate. She had lost a lot of weight, and lacked nutrition. Therefore, Madam Qin made old hen soup and nourished Chu He with chicken soup for three days in a row, hoping to replenish all the nutrition that she had lost previously.
Chu He didn’t like to drink soup, so Butler Fu had to coax her. “The nutrients of this old hen are all in the soup. Eating chicken meat isn’t as good as drinking this soup. Moreover, you have to stop thinking that you’re drinking this for yourself. Think about it, you’re pregnant with two little ones! If you don’t nourish yourself, you’d be treating the little ones unfairly!”
Chu He understood at once what Butler Fu meant.
She proceeded to drink the soup even though she didn’t like it.
There wasn’t a lot of ingredients in the chicken soup. Although the original flavor was light and delicate, it was naturally delicious. In addition to chicken soup and pork ribs soup, Butler Fu also focused on nutritional balance, fruits, vegetables, and meat dishes.
Adhering to the nutritionist’s formula, Chu He gained some weight after half a month. Everyone was overjoyed. This meant that the nutritional meals were working!
Within half a month, Chu He had more or less regained her weight.
She was worried, however. “Butler Fu, if you keep pampering me like this, I’ll end up like a pig.”
