“Nowadays, women generally go through menopause around fifty, and it’s very rare for them to be over forty. Your irregular periods in the past were due to hormonal imbalance caused by emotional distress,” Ye Qingqing said.

Mood is important for both men and women. Men who are depressed may experience hormonal imbalances and even infertility. For women, the most direct consequence of depression is menstrual irregularities.

There is even a possibility that menopause will occur earlier than expected.

Yu Anning nodded. "That should be the case. I was in a really bad mood during that time, and that's when my period started to become irregular. But it's become more regular again recently. However, it didn't come this month, and I didn't think about it."

She still can't believe it, that she's almost fifty and can still get pregnant. She and Qi Wenyuan are finally having a child.

Seeing Yu Anning's face filled with ecstasy, Ye Qingqing guessed that she probably wanted to keep the child. "You want to give birth to this child?"

“Of course, I’ve always hoped that Wenyuan and I could have a child. Heaven has heard my heart’s desire,” Yu Anning answered without hesitation.

This is a gift from heaven; she must be born.

"But whether your body can withstand ten months of pregnancy is a question. The fetus will absorb nutrients from the mother. You have just recovered, and there is a high possibility that the pregnancy and childbirth will cause a relapse. The most direct consequence is that you will lose both the baby and the fetus."

Despite how cruel it was, Ye Qingqing still had to speak out.

The smile on Yu Anning's face slowly disappeared. She hadn't expected it to be so serious, but she still wanted to give birth to the child.

"If something really happens, is there any way to save the child?"

"The chances are slim. Even if a healthy mother gets pregnant and gives birth, her body will be severely weakened. You are both an older mother and have just recovered from a serious illness. No one can guarantee that you can give birth to this child safely. Your condition may relapse during the pregnancy."

Ye Qingqing told the truth and then said, "Actually, I don't recommend you have this child. The risk is too great. Even if you manage to keep the baby, how happy do you think a child who has lost his mother from a young age will be? You think you love the child, but actually you are being very selfish. If the child has a mind of its own, maybe he won't want to be born!"

Yu Anning's expression changed slightly. Ye Qingqing's words stung her. The reason why Li Qiqi was not close to her was because she rarely spent time with her. Other mothers and daughters were very close, but she and Li Qiqi were like enemies.

Although she has given up on this daughter, she still feels a deep sense of unease.

Ye Qingqing is right. It's unfair to the child to lose his mother right after birth, and it's also unfair to Qi Wenyuan.

But she really wanted to have a child with Qi Wenyuan!

"Qi Wenyuan probably doesn't know about this yet, right? I think you should discuss it with him and make a decision as soon as possible," Ye Qingqing suggested.

Yu Anning nodded; she had no intention of hiding it from Qi Wenyuan.

"Qingqing, tell me the truth, what are the chances of this child being born safely?" Yu Anning was unwilling to give up; she wanted to take a gamble.

"It's hard to say, I can't give you a definite answer. It's like a gamble, the odds of winning and losing are 50/50, but your stake is your life. If you win, you'll have a child, if you lose, you'll lose your life."

Yu Anning gritted her teeth, still unwilling to give up.

Ye Qingqing advised, "You really don't need to gamble with your life. Even if you can give birth safely, your body will be severely damaged, and it might relapse any day. Your body is like a glass doll now, and you must take good care of it and not let it get bumped or hurt in the slightest."
