How did you get in?
A hint of panic flashed in Jiang Xiu's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it, smiling as she hugged Ye Yu's arm and spoke in a coquettish tone.
"The doctor said that both I and the baby are fine. You seem very anxious. Did the doctor say something to you?"
She gritted her teeth secretly. She had just told the doctor not to tell him anything. If he did, she would kill him!
"The doctor didn't tell me anything, that's why I'm worried. Are you and the baby really okay?"
Ye Yu's eyes were fixed on her belly, which was his only son. Now that he was getting older, it was uncertain whether he would be able to get a woman pregnant again. In any case, this child had to be born safely!
She breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head: "It's okay, let's go home."
"Um."
He felt relieved for the time being. On the way back, while sitting in the car, Jiang Xiu was distracted several times, and it took her a while to react when Ye Yu spoke to her.
Back at the Ye family home, Jiang Xiu used the excuse of feeling nauseous to go to her room to rest. Ye Yu stared at her back, his eyes slightly narrowed.
The aunt saw this, walked over, and deliberately asked, "Sir, is something bothering you? If it's because I haven't taken good care of Comrade Jiang, please just tell me."
"It's nothing." He waved his hand. "From now on, keep a close eye on her. Make sure she has three meals a day and is well-nourished. If she goes out, you'd better find out where she's going. You absolutely cannot let anything happen to her or the child, understand?"
"Understood."
The aunt smiled, her fingers tightly intertwined; she had finally found an opportunity.
In the room, Jiang Xiu sat in front of the dressing table, stroking her belly.
She was several months pregnant when her baby turned out to be deformed! She couldn't believe it and thought she'd go get it checked herself next time, behind Ye Yu's back...
"Knock knock knock..."
There was a knock on the door. Jiang Xiu thought it was Ye Yu coming over, so she patted her face, composed herself, and went to open the door with a smile.
To her surprise, when she opened the package, it turned out to be the housekeeper. Her face immediately fell, and she coldly crossed her arms.
"What are you doing here? It's not lunchtime yet!"
"Uh... Comrade Jiang, I'm bringing you milk as instructed by your husband." The aunt handed over the milk: "He said that the baby in your belly is very important and cannot be harmed in the slightest, so he asked me to take good care of your nutrition in addition to your three meals a day."
"Oh, I see..."
Jiang Xiu took the milk, drank two sips, and returned it. If it were before today, she would have been overjoyed to be treated with such importance.
But now, the more attention she receives, the more panicked she becomes, because it means that if something goes wrong with the child in her womb or if the child is born with a deformity, the Ye family will definitely not let her off the hook!
Should she tell or not? Jiang Xiu's eyes darted around, she gritted her teeth, and decided to keep it a secret for now and see how things went.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Jiang Xiu looked up and saw that her aunt was still there, her tone impatient.
"Comrade Jiang, there's something I'd like to tell you. The doctor said you need to report your whereabouts whenever you go out, for your safety."
"What?!"
Jiang Xiu bit her lip in resentment. Did he suspect her? Or did he want to put her under house arrest?
“This is what the gentleman just told me. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him yourself.”
"Who says they don't believe me? Get out! Let me have some peace and quiet!"
She was very upset. Now she couldn't even go out freely, which would make things inconvenient in the future.
This can't go on; she needs to decide what to do with the child as soon as possible...
The next day, Jiang Xiu went out to the factory to handle some matters. The aunt silently noted it down and told Ye Yu.
As soon as she left the Ye family, she went straight to the doctor's house.
She only trusted that doctor. After all, they were in the same boat; their fates were intertwined. If he said the child was deformed, she would have to have the abortion, but she had to make the most of it!
But to her surprise, when she arrived at the place, no one answered the door no matter how much she knocked.
"That's strange... Wasn't he supposed to be on vacation at home...?"
Jiang Xiu muttered to herself, craning her neck to peer through the crack in the glass.
A woman walked over, carrying a shopping basket, and patted her on the shoulder.
Comrade, who are you looking for?
"ah!"
She was startled, turned around, and glared at the woman.
"None of your business!"
"How could you be like this! I was just trying to kindly remind you that if you're looking for the doctor who used to stay here, don't bother looking for him. He checked out and moved to another city. You're really ungrateful for my good intentions!"
The woman spat, picked up her shopping basket, and went into the next room; it turned out they were neighbors.
"Explain yourself! Where did he go?!"
Jiang Xiu couldn't believe he would just leave without a word. She was determined to get to the bottom of it and started banging on the door next door.
"I don't know, get lost! You ungrateful wretch!"
Jiang Xiu was so angry that her stomach hurt, and she left in a sorry state, clutching her stomach. The other person was nice to talk to earlier, but she was rude. Now they simply won't tell her anything.
Just in case, she went to another hospital, but the test results came back the same.
The doctor solemnly told her, "The baby in your belly is indeed a deformed fetus. If it is born, not to mention the survival rate, even if it survives, it may not be curable. You need to think it through carefully. This is a huge test for you as a mother and even for your whole family."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's eyes glazed over. If only one hospital said this, it would be one thing, but now two different hospitals and different doctors were saying the same thing...
She suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if she had just realized something. The doctor she had slept with had already run away. Could it be that he already knew this was the case and ran away because he could no longer hide it?
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Xiu panicked even more. She was already nine-tenths convinced that the child in her belly was deformed. She couldn't calm down at all and hurriedly left the hospital.
Just as I stepped out of the consultation room, I brushed past a woman wearing a mask. The door closed, and the woman placed a wad of cash on the doctor's desk.
"Well done, here's the agreed-upon compensation."
The doctor took it, said thank you, and then took a breath.
"Let me tell you something. After examining her just now, I found that the child does have some problems. Although it's not as serious as a birth defect, there is a possibility that she has a congenital disease."
The woman's eyes widened: "Really?"
"I'm 80% sure."
"It seems... this is all fate..."
The woman tightened her mask, said nothing more, and left the hospital in the opposite direction from Jiang Xiu.
Because of these troubles, Jiang Xiu couldn't stay at the Ye family home. She was afraid that Ye Yu would discover her secret, so she always ran away and had a particularly bad temper.
Ye Yu saw this and called the aunt over to ask her about it.
"Has she been like this lately? Where does she usually go when she goes out? Who does she meet?"
“Sir, Comrade Jiang never reports to me, she only says she’s going to the factory, but I often smell a man on her. You…you should send someone to investigate. I’m just guessing.” The aunt finished speaking and then stopped.
Ye Yu narrowed his eyes and slammed his fist on the table.
"She dares!"
