When I regained consciousness, I seemed to be lying in a hospital bed, with the pungent smell of disinfectant.
I don't want to open my eyes and see if this is a hospital.
I don't want to face anything anymore; I feel like there's no point in living.
Just a few months ago, I was grateful that I had been reborn and could plan ahead to protect my parents.
Looking back now, it's truly ironic.
I couldn't help but wonder if it was because I was truly worthless that they didn't love me...
A warm liquid slowly flowed down the corner of my eye, and my nose tingled.
"Sister Qiao?"
I heard Muye's voice in my ear, and when I opened my eyes, I met his slightly tired face.
He sat in the bedside chair, wearing a baseball cap, looking at me with a smile on his lips, "You're really awake."
"Muye, tell me, why did I have to be reborn?" I looked at him with dejected eyes and murmured.
I'm also asking myself this question.
Such a rebirth is not as peaceful as being hit and killed in a muddle in my previous life.
My nose stung, and tears welled up in my eyes. I turned my face away, refusing to look at him.
"Sister Qiao, don't be like this. You're pregnant, and the doctor said you need to keep your emotions stable, otherwise you might have a threatened miscarriage. You bled last night!" Mu Ye turned my face and took a tissue to wipe my tears, his tone serious.
I was stunned by his words, thinking I had misheard.
"Muye, what did you say?" I asked incredulously.
“You fainted and almost fell last night, so I took you to the hospital. The doctor saw that you were bleeding, so he ordered a blood test for pregnancy, and it turned out you were pregnant.”
Makino said earnestly.
I kept shaking my head. "Impossible, you're lying to me, aren't you?"
Makino probably made it up on purpose because he thought I didn't want to live anymore.
I saw him pick up a medical report from the bedside table and unfold it in front of me.
HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) 2500…
Progesterone 15.68
Looking at the numbers above, I frowned, somewhat confused.
I had never known what a pregnancy test result looked like before.
Makino explained to me, "This 2500 corresponds to the range after it, which is 2-3 weeks of pregnancy. This progesterone level is within the range of early pregnancy... This is what the doctor taught me."
I was still confused after hearing what he said.
I am pregnant?
How could that be?
Fu Yanshen said it himself; he had undergone a tubal ligation.
Two to three weeks later, I conceived on the night before we parted in London.
Is that really such a coincidence?
My period just ended the day before, how could I still get pregnant?
I don't know how much time passed, but I still couldn't believe it. I rang the bell and called a female gynecologist. After her explanation, I finally believed that I was really pregnant!
She said that even if a man has undergone a vasectomy, he can still become pregnant unexpectedly.
For example, unsuccessful surgery or engaging in sexual activity too early after surgery.
There are also rare cases of vas deferens mutations. If a man has multiple vas deferens that are not detected during vasectomy, he can still ejaculate sperm.
As for women getting pregnant during their safe period, the probability is even higher.
"Do you believe me now? Do you think it could be that your child from a past life has come looking for you?"
After seeing the doctor off, Mu Ye patted me, who was still in a daze. His words brought tears to my eyes, and my hand unconsciously went to my flat stomach.
My throat tightened.
"You're about to cry again. You promised to stay calm." Makino raised an eyebrow and glared at me.
I quickly took a deep breath, held back my tears, calmed myself down, and tried my best to turn up the corners of my mouth.
But I still felt a pang of sadness.
Could it be that child? Has he come to comfort me?
It came to keep me company when I felt I had no strength left to live.
At the same time, the tragic ending of my past life makes me anxious. Am I capable of bringing him into the world safely? Will I repeat the same mistakes as in my past life?
In my past life, I went mad and was hit and killed by a truck while running on the road, along with my unborn child.
I'm not crazy now.
I think I can protect it.
Suddenly, there was new hope for survival.
"Aren't you going to tell your ex-husband?" Makino's sudden voice pulled me back to reality.
I was taken aback for a moment, then glared at him. "Muye, are you deliberately trying to provoke me?"
Fu Yanshen had said harsh words to me before, that if I got pregnant, I would have an abortion, and he even had a tubal ligation. He couldn't possibly want this child.
"No, no, don't even think about it!" Mu Ye quickly waved his hand at me.
I tried not to think about it, gave him a knowing smile, and asked him to buy me food.
After being discharged from the hospital, I moved into a Muye apartment with an elevator. I prepared my own nutritious meals every day, ate and slept on time, took folic acid, and abstained from alcohol and secondhand smoke.
After Ms. Dai Xiufen was arrested, the police took my statement. As far as I know, her crimes were not limited to assisting Shen Yu in raping me; she was also suspected of economic crimes.
I will be required to testify in court when the trial begins.
Sheng Minghui was hospitalized due to a heart attack, but thanks to timely treatment, his life is not in danger.
Their arrest and the heart attack were enough to cause the already precarious prosperity to collapse, leading to bankruptcy and liquidation, and the court to seize all their assets.
That day, the hospital called me and asked me to pay the outstanding medical expenses for Sheng Minghui. His previous social security card and bank card had been suspended, so they could only contact his children.
Beichen is still abroad, and they can't get in touch with him.
Although Shengshi went bankrupt, Fu Yanshen retaliated against Ms. Dai Xiufen; my uncles and aunts were unaffected. But given my "dad's" temperament, I doubt he'd have the face to ask them for help.
I gritted my teeth and went to the hospital to pay tens of thousands of yuan in medical expenses. I mustered up my courage and went to the ward to explain things to him.
Now, I'm still being supported by Muye, and I can't even take care of myself, let alone him in the future.
Before I even pushed open the door to the ward, I saw a familiar figure standing by my "dad's" bedside through the glass window at the entrance.
It is Fu Yanshen.
He wore a long black coat draped over his shoulders and looked down at his "father" sitting on the hospital bed, leaning against the headboard.
Why is he still looking for "Dad"?
My hand unconsciously went to my flat stomach.
At this moment, "Dad" became emotional, leaned forward, reached out towards Fu Yanshen, and opened his mouth slightly.
I gently pushed the door open.
"You, you are... me, my son with Qiao Wan, aren't you?!"
"Dad!" came the excited voice.
Upon hearing this, I was startled and pushed the ward door open forcefully with a creak.
Fu Yanshen suddenly turned around and looked at me.
His expression hardened when he saw me.
I stared at him blankly.
Could he be the boy whose life was switched with mine, the son of my father and my ex-girlfriend?
Was the boy not killed?
My brain was buzzing.
Fu Yanshen turned around again and looked at the person on the hospital bed. "Chairman Sheng, your son with Ms. Qiao Wan was chased and killed when he was five years old. He jumped off the cross-sea bridge... He drowned long ago."
His voice was cold, with a mocking smile.
