Chapter 172 Morning Sickness
Zong Fang was anxious and angry, with a dark face, he stayed beside her and patted her on the back. Luka gave her water to rinse her mouth. Liberi went to check the kitchen in person. Carl sat on the sofa outside with his head in his hands, looking annoyed.
Qiao Susu couldn't vomit anything. Her eyes were red from vomiting, and tears were flowing uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes. She rinsed her mouth and took a break. She wanted to go to the room, but the next second she was picked up by Luka. The man didn't speak or look at him. Qiao Susu knew he was worried about her. She pulled his collar and whispered, "I didn't know the reaction would be so big."
Luka sighed, kissed her temple soothingly, and walked back with her in his arms. "Don't talk for now. I'll take you back to sleep for a while."
Carl nervously followed, only to see Zongfang's murderous eyes. He said angrily, "I swear, I really only gave her a small cup."
"Did I ever tell you that she has a special physique?" Zong Fang was annoyed. He really wanted to twist Karl's head off. "Do you think you're being nice to her just by pampering her and giving her whatever she wants?"
For the first time ever, Carl did not fight back, but stood there listening to the lecture, his face a little stiff.
However, Qiao Susu did not feel better after lying down in the hall. She endured it again and again, but finally she covered her mouth and rushed into the bathroom, vomiting acid.
Luka frowned distressedly, and while running his hand down her back, he asked the others, "Is there nothing we can do?"
Laibley, who has already returned, said: "The medical team came to see me and said it was a pregnancy reaction caused by gastrointestinal discomfort. I can only wait for the symptoms to disappear on their own."
At this time, Zongfang came from outside with a glass of water and a pill. Ruka stopped him and asked, "What did you give her?"
"Medication for morning sickness."
Luka disagreed, but Qiao Suisui insisted on eating. She really couldn't stand the nausea, which was like motion sickness.
Actually, it only contained vitamin B6. He told her it could stop vomiting just to provide her with psychological comfort. He had done a lot of research on human pregnancy before, and it was originally intended to prevent her from feeling uncomfortable during pregnancy. He hadn't used it the first few times, and he felt relieved. But he didn't expect this pregnancy to make her so uncomfortable. He suddenly felt guilty and heartbroken.
"Qiao Qiao, be good. You'll be fine after you finish eating." He coaxed her in a low voice, wiped away the physiological tears from the corners of her eyes, watched her take the medicine, and fed her water.
Qiao Suisui leaned against the sink, feeling exhausted. Luka carried her back to bed and wiped her face with a warm towel, which made her feel much better.
After taking the medicine, her nausea subsided, but she felt a little dizzy. Luka stroked her head, trying to soothe her to sleep. Zongfang took her temperature, and Liberi sat by her bed, watching her with concern. Only Carl stood in a corner of the room, head bowed, silent.
She yawned, trying to shake off the sleepiness, and called Carl's name.
Carl stepped forward, his eyes full of guilt.
Qiao Suisui grabbed his fingers and shook them slightly twice, then said to the other men, "I'm greedy, it has nothing to do with Karl."
Seeing that she was so upset and still considered his feelings, Karl suddenly felt even more guilty. He held her little hand, his voice muffled, and he said to her softly: "Go to sleep quickly, you will be fine when you wake up. I won't go anywhere, I will stay here to guard you."
Qiao Sui Sui was obviously still worried. She was so sleepy that her eyelids could hardly hold up, but she still refused to sleep. Zong Fang was angry and helpless, and whispered in her ear: "No one will blame him. Go to sleep, baby."
After hearing this, Qiao Susu slowly closed her eyes and stopped fighting the sleepiness.
Luka looked at Zongfang worriedly and asked in a low voice, "Does your medicine contain any sleeping pills?"
Zong Fang nodded, his eyes fixed on Qiao Sui Sui as he smoothed the loose hair from her forehead. "None of those ingredients are harmful to her body. She's easily fatigued right now, so she needs more rest. And if she continues to vomit like she just did, she'll be in great pain."
Karl held her hand without saying a word. He suddenly didn't want the little leopard anymore. He had no idea about pregnancy before, only that it was a good thing. But now, seeing how uncomfortable Sui Sui was, even eating something she wanted would cause such a violent reaction, he suddenly felt that pregnancy was a very difficult thing, and he didn't want her to suffer.
In reality, this pregnancy was indeed quite large, a burden even for Qiao Suisui's system-modified body. It was only a month old, and her belly was already bloated and felt completely stuffed. Several men thought simultaneously: if her belly got bigger, she'd need someone even more by her side. Who knew how long she'd be in pain by the time she gave birth?
When he thought of that day, Zongfang began to feel uncontrollable anxiety.
Over the next few days, Qiao Suisui's morning sickness didn't subside, and Zong Fang didn't dare give her any more medication, as medicine is always toxic. He watched her want to vomit at the mere smell of anything she ate, and his eyes immediately turned red with anxiety.
Luka hadn't been to the military headquarters for several days and had been staying by her side. He was feeding her a small bowl of porridge. She vomited three times after taking three sips. He couldn't bear to coax her to eat anymore and said distressedly, "If you don't want to eat, then we won't. Do you want some water?"
Qiao Suisui shook her head, covered her mouth and shrank into Karl's arms.
The men were helpless. They were all trying to make things happen outside, but at this moment they could only watch her suffer. Although no one said anything, they were actually very anxious in their hearts.
At this moment, Liberi walked in with a bowl of pink potion. Sang Yan, who was following behind him, said, "Sui Sui, this is water made from the nectar of the moonflower. You won't feel uncomfortable if you drink it."
Libery was truly anxious. He remembered that shortly after Sui Sui gave birth, Sang Yan had given him a bowl of something he said would help her recover quickly. He explained the situation to Sang Yan, who, without a word, transformed into a dragon and flew directly back to the Free Alliance. He went to the Beast God Temple and picked some moonflowers and brought them back.
The fastest journey from Osland to the Free Alliance and back would take fifteen days, but Sang Yan did not stop for a moment, flying through the wind and actually shortened the journey to five days.
Karl took the porcelain bowl and drank a sip himself first. After making sure there was no strange taste, he held Qiao Suishou's shoulders and fed her small sips. No matter what he was drinking now, he would help her taste it first.
After drinking it, Qiao Susu licked her lips and felt it was sweet and fragrant, like drinking nectar. The feeling that had been churning in her throat and stomach suddenly subsided a lot.
"It seems to be really useful, Sang Yan, thank you."
The men saw that she was in much better spirits than before, and immediately felt relieved that the heavy burden on their hearts for the past few days was gone.
Liberi said, "You called it moonflower? I ordered some to be planted in the royal court."
Sang Yan shook his head and said, "It's useless. The Moonflower only grows in front of the Beast God's temple. I have never seen it grow outside the Free Alliance."
Munakata asked, "How long will its effects last?"
Sang Yan estimated and answered, "Two days at most."
Zongfang and Ruka looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes.
On that day, several men discussed and decided to take Qiao Susu to the Freedom Alliance to nurture the baby.
