The doctor asked them if the pregnant woman had often gone hungry before, and it was discovered that she had a very serious stomach problem.

“Stomach problems? How could that be? No matter how little she can eat, I always make sure she eats something. I’ve never let her go hungry. And when we went to the hospital in L City, no doctor ever mentioned that she had stomach problems.”

Even when we took her for a full-body checkup, the doctor never mentioned that she had a stomach problem. He said the baby was very healthy and at most mentioned that Bai Xiaoruo was anemic and that she needed to pay special attention to supplementing her nutrition.

Why did she develop even more problems when she came to see the doctor in Country M?

The doctor adjusted his glasses. "Sir, please calm down. May I ask, have you and the pregnant woman known each other since childhood?"

"No... what do you mean by this?"

“Since you haven’t known each other since childhood, how do you know that she has never gone hungry? According to the examination results, such a serious stomach disease cannot be formed in just a few days or months. She must have stopped paying attention to her diet and often went hungry many years ago.”

Many years ago...were you often hungry?

The only family that Xuan Mingyu could think of was the Bai family.

Bai Xiaoruo rarely talked to him about what she had experienced in the Bai family over the years. She mostly kept quiet about it, or she would just say lightly, "I'm used to it."

Xuan Mingyu had no idea how many things she had gotten used to, but based on the doctor's words, he could roughly guess that the reason she had stomach problems was definitely related to Bai Minglei and Bai Xiaofu.

Damn the Bai family!

No wonder she's so thin, no wonder she's anemic and malnourished, and now she even has stomach problems.

If it weren't for their actions, Bai Xiaoruo would definitely be many times more energetic than she is now.

He's determined to take down the Bai family!

The doctor continued, saying that fortunately, the baby was brought in in time, and the bleeding was not too heavy. The baby was very resilient and survived, but this is not necessarily a good thing. Rather, it is a very serious warning. If there is another bout of bleeding, even if the baby is as strong as a rock, it will definitely not survive. Moreover, it may have a very serious impact on the mother's health, and even lifelong infertility is possible.

Bai Xiaoruo received a blood transfusion and is now in good health, so she has been transferred to a regular ward.

The doctor instructed them that they could stay with the pregnant woman and talk to her, but not for too long, as she needed rest most after the blood transfusion.

Realizing they shouldn't disturb Bai Xiaoru's rest too much, Fang Peiru and Xian Shaodong decided to go back and rest first, and come back tomorrow.

"Mingyu, you stay here with Xiaoruo. Your dad and I will come to see her again tomorrow when she's feeling better." Before leaving, Fang Peiru gave her a special reminder, "You have to be very careful. You absolutely cannot let anything happen to Xiaoruo again, understand?"

"Yes, thank you for your hard work. You can all go back to sleep. I will take good care of her."

He will stay by her side at all times and keep her company.

They will definitely get through this difficult time. The baby will be born safely in a few months, and Bai Xiaoruo will definitely recover well.

......

Back in Bai Xiaoruo's hospital room, she was still asleep.

There was a needle in his hand, dripping intravenously.

Just as Xian Mingyu pulled up a chair and sat down beside her bed, Bai Xiaoruo, who was still half asleep, suddenly screamed, "Baby! Don't go! No! No!"

"I'm here, I'm here, don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay..." He held her hand tightly and gently stroked her head. She must have been having a nightmare, because she was covered in sweat again.

Bai Xiaoruo suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.

The first thing she did was touch her belly with her hand, "Baby, is the baby still there? Is my baby still there?" Her voice choked with emotion, and her eyes reddened.

"Yes, baby is fine, don't worry, he's still here."

Bai Xiaoruo breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, her baby was still there. It was just a dream... just a dream...

Thinking of how terrible the nightmare was, she pouted and buried her face in Xian Mingyu's arms, bursting into tears.

She was so scared, so afraid that everything in her dream would become real.

"What's wrong? I'm right here." He gently patted her back. She hadn't cried so bitterly in a long time, and her tears soaked a large part of his coat.

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah... I just had such a terrible dream... I dreamt that you were with another woman... You didn't want me anymore... Baby was so sad too, he said... he said he didn't have a dad anymore... Waaaaah... Then, baby said he didn't want to stay in my belly anymore, he wanted to leave me too... Waaaaah... Then my belly shrank, baby disappeared, and you disappeared too... Waaaaah..."

"Silly girl, that's just your dream, it's not real... How could I bear to leave you?" He comforted her, touching her slightly protruding belly. "Our baby is so precious. When he's born, I'll cherish him so much, how could I let him be without a father?"

Bai Xiaoru sniffed, finally stopping her crying. She lifted her little head from his arms, looking at him with red eyes, "Really? You're not lying to me, are you?"

"No, I'm telling you the truth, not a single word, not even a single pinyin, I'm absolutely not lying to you."
