Chapter 120 Jealousy

"Could it be a urinary tract infection? Let's go to the hospital to get it checked out today!"

Since last night, I've been constantly running to the toilet, but I've only been able to urinate.

"No, I probably drank water before bed last night."

I am most afraid of hearing the word "hospital". I have almost never even caught a cold since I was a child, but I have been hospitalized in the past few years. So now I feel very averse to the word "hospital".

"If the situation persists during the day, we must go to the hospital."

Today is Saturday. I plan to go with Chu Zhen to visit Grandma Zhou in the old town first, and then go back to the villa in the suburbs to visit my grandmother.

"Why are you always running to the toilet? I soaked all these fruits in salt water, just in case you wouldn't like them, so I washed them like that~"

Grandma Zhou thought I had an upset stomach.

"No, it's been like this since last night, it should be frequent urination?"

"It's not diarrhea? You mean you've been going to the toilet constantly since last night?"

Grandma Zhou's eyes actually revealed joy when she looked at me.

"Hmm, it might be a urinary tract infection. We should go to the hospital to get it checked out right away."

I was so thirsty before bed last night that I drank a glass of water, but I kept going to the bathroom all night and figured I'd used it all up. As a result, I'm still going to the bathroom frequently today. Although I hate going to the hospital, I still have to go if I have a health problem.

"Child, are you pregnant?"

What is it?

"My child, when did your period start?"

When Grandma said that, I realized that my period was indeed a week late. It used to be a bit irregular, but I had been taking Chinese medicine and it had been regulated. Now, it's been more than a week since my period lasted.

"Grandma, I've put the rice and oil in the kitchen for you. I'll take Lin Dang to the hospital now. Call me if anything happens." Chu Zhen heard her grandmother's words from inside the house, immediately ran to me, grabbed my bag, and headed out.

"Slow down, that's not necessarily true, and I'm not disgusted."

I slowed my pace.

Even if you're not pregnant, you should still go and find out what the reason might be.

Congratulations on becoming parents again!

The doctor looked at the report and was even happier than we were. She knew my physical condition best. I regretted the miscarriage. She would come to see me every time I was hospitalized. In addition to the Chinese medicine that Zhao Zhengyu sent me every month, I would also go to her for gynecological checkups regularly. What was originally a hopeless situation became a reality, and we could hardly believe it.

"The HCG and progesterone levels are good, but it's too small to see right now. Come back in a while for an ultrasound."

It wasn't until the doctor said those words that Chu Zhen finally came to her senses.

"You mean I'm a dad again?"

"Yes, you're a dad again."

The doctor smiled.

"Lin Dang~"

"Mmm~"

Chu Zhen actually kissed me in front of the doctor, and what's worse, there were so many people lined up outside.

"How wonderful! Is it only handsome men who dote on their wives like this?" the girl said enviously.

"What? Look at them, they're both way older than us. They must be happy to have children late in life," the boy said dismissively.

“We’re not at the right time to have children right now. We have nothing. Wouldn’t it be better to wait until we’re more mature? Maybe then you can be like him.” The girl said, her voice trembling with tears.

"Girl, do you love him?" I asked as I walked over to the girl.

"Hmm~" The girl nodded.

"Then you should be happy to have a child; it's the fruit of your love."

"Okay, thank you, sister~"

Having gone through Chu Lin and Chu Yi Lin, I was surprised to be able to welcome a new life. I always thought that God had given me a death sentence, but I never expected to give me such a surprise.

After learning that my body was infertile, we stopped using contraception, but we had never gotten pregnant over the years. This time it was a completely unexpected joy.

"Chu Zhen, let's not tell anyone this time."

"Just as I thought."

After leaving the hospital, Chu Zhen carefully supported me, and I correspondingly restrained my movements. Although I can no longer be considered an elderly pregnant woman, I am still considered to have given birth late in life. In addition, I had injured my body before, and the doctor repeatedly told me to be careful.

We agreed not to tell anyone I was pregnant. I'm slim and not very noticeable yet. We'll wait until it's fully stable and obvious before telling anyone.

Pregnancy symptoms are really different this time. I urinate very frequently. The doctor said it was caused by uterine pressure. As long as it doesn't hurt when I urinate, it's fine. But it's still hard on Chu Zhen. She hardly rests all night. She wakes up as soon as I move.

"Why don't you sleep in the second bedroom? You won't get a good rest this way."

I felt really bad. Although I wasn't getting enough rest myself, I genuinely didn't want to disturb Chu Zhen's sleep.

"You just got a baby and you already want to abandon me? Don't forget, without me, there would be no baby."

Chu Zhen touched my belly and said jealously like a child.

"Honey, you've worked so hard~"

In the blink of an eye, Chu Zhen was looking at me with tender affection again.

"It's not tiring at all, I actually feel very happy. Honey, do you think it'll be a son or a daughter this time?"

"Honey, could it be that we're having both a son and a daughter, giving me a perfect family?"

"How can a person be so greedy? I hope it's a son, so that I can treat my daughter-in-law well in the future, just like my mother treated me. If it's a daughter, I probably can't accept her leaving us."

When I remember my mother's appearance when I went home, I felt very sorry for her. Although my parents always nagged me to get married as soon as possible so that they could have more time alone, they felt empty inside after I actually got married.

"It must be twins, didn't the doctor say? The blood levels are very high, so the chances of twins are high!"

"Let's hope so~"

I touched my flat belly. Right now, there's just an embryo inside. It will slowly grow and develop day by day in my belly. I can almost feel it kicking my belly. Gradually, I can see Chu Lin laughing heartily in the amusement park in my mind's eye.

I nestled in Chu Zhen's arms all night, and we dreamed about the future, imagining those blissful family moments, until the sun rose in the east.

A few weeks later, when I went to the hospital, they could see the gestational sac and hear the fetal heartbeat.

"Two, there really are two."

The doctor was clearly more excited than I was.

Because of the "special privileges" granted to her, Chu Zhen was also allowed into the ultrasound room.

"Really?"

Chu Zhen stared wide-eyed at the screen, but seemed unable to discern anything.

"Here, and here, do you see these two black dots?"

The doctor pointed to the screen and said, "If I weren't lying here, I would have wanted to see what it looks like too."

"This is my child? How come he's so small?"

"It will take a few weeks this time. As the pregnancy progresses and the shape gradually forms, you will be able to see it."

The doctor was very satisfied with my ultrasound results and smiled frequently.

In the end, God still favored me.
