Chapter 100: Medical Interview
Han Que looked up in a daze when he heard this, staring straight at Fang Jiayan. He looked dazed for a long time and his face gradually turned pale.
Seeing her expression, Fang Jiayan frowned slightly. With the sensitivity of a doctor, she felt that something was wrong with Han.
"Han Que, you are..." She threw down the towel in her hand, sat down next to Han Que, and carefully observed her face. "When did your relative come?"
Han shook her head: "I don't remember. You know mine is never accurate. Sometimes it's early, sometimes it's late. The weather has been too hot recently, and I've been busy, so..." She was stunned again and turned to stare at Fang Jiayan, "Jiayan, am I..."
Fang Jia frowned. "You and Gu Ningwei?" She asked with a questioning look.
Han immediately understood what she was asking, "Because mine is not accurate. He is the one who always takes measures."
She frowned, recalling something, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
That night at her house, they were so passionate and couldn't control themselves, but Han couldn't prepare condoms in the old house. They were so passionate that they didn't think of taking any precautions.
Afterwards, Gu Ningwei asked her when her period came, but Han said it seemed to be last week. Gu Ningwei breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep tiredly holding her in his arms.
When she was about to fall asleep, Han also wanted to remember to buy medicine the next day, but she was in a daze and groggy state the next day. She kept losing things at work and didn't remember to buy medicine at all.
Fang Jiayan frowned as she listened, then asked about her other physical conditions. She sighed slightly and said, "So you're most likely infected. Buy a test strip tomorrow, but it's best if you go to the hospital for a checkup. That's the most accurate way."
Han agreed.
Fang Jiayan carefully observed the expression on her face and asked softly, "If so, what are you going to do?"
"What should we do?" Han repeated hesitantly, turned his head after a while, and looked at Fang Jiayan blankly.
"Yes, what are you going to do with this child?" Fang Jiayan pointed at her abdomen. "You need to make a decision as soon as possible. Delaying it for too long will be bad for your health."
"Yeah." Han lowered his head and remained silent.
Her long eyelashes covered her eyes, hiding her trepidation, even fear.
"You should discuss this with Gu Ningwei." Fang Jiayan paused. "I think you should still seek his opinion. After all, it's his..."
"We broke up." Han interrupted her.
"Break up?" Fang Jiayan was stunned, revealing an expression of disbelief. "When did it happen? But..." She couldn't understand, "You broke up, and you still..."
"Well, it's a breakup shot." Han said self-deprecatingly.
"Han Que." Fang Jiayan called her with a stern expression: "Can you be more serious? This is a child, a life. Can you not talk about this in such a frivolous tone?"
She thought about it and became angry again. She stood up and looked down at Han Que condescendingly, "I really can't understand you two. When you're in love, you're so desperate. When you're breaking up, you keep making a fuss about breaking up. Now that we've broken up, someone's dead. You're simply..."
She was so angry that she couldn't continue speaking and wanted to leave immediately, but when she looked down at Han Que's pitiful eyes, she couldn't bear it, so she sat down next to Han Que again and didn't say anything for a long time.
After a while, Han spoke intermittently, "You just said that Chengguang has been in trouble recently. They are in financial crisis and no bank will lend them money. His father and uncle are forcing him to get married. If he doesn't agree and doesn't inject capital, they will be exposed..."
She sighed and shook her head: "Look at the online news a while ago... You also know what the consequences will be after the thunder..."
"Then there's no other way?" After a moment of silence, Fang Jiayan asked, "Then I have to sacrifice you?"
"I don't know if there is any other way. I don't understand." Han Que said in a low voice: "But I know that Gu Ningwei has no other way..."
"Where is the child?" Fang Jiayan asked again with her head down.
A child? Han touched her belly, seemingly unable to believe it. A seed of life was quietly nurturing in her flat belly. She couldn't imagine that seed had taken root, would gradually grow, and break out of her body. She couldn't imagine that she had to raise it alone.
After a long time, Han finally sighed deeply and said, "I'm sorry, he came at the wrong time."
Fang Jiayan nodded. "Since you've made the decision, then deal with it as soon as possible. Make time to come to the hospital tomorrow. I'll make an appointment for you with my mentor, she's an expert."
Han Que went to the hospital for a check-up with Fang Jiayan the next day.
Fang Jiayan's mentor is a thin old lady with white hair and a kind and friendly attitude.
She gave Han Que a test order and asked her to go for the examination. Before Han Que received the paper report, the old lady had already put on her reading glasses and looked at the computer screen intently. After a while, she smiled and said to Han Que, "Congratulations, you are having a baby."
Han lowered his head and forced a smile, then looked up at Fang Jiayan beside him and said nothing.
Fang Jiayan hesitated and had to speak for her: "Teacher, she doesn't want this child... When do you think is the best time to do it?"
"Why not?" The old lady's face darkened, and she glanced coldly at Han Que and Fang Jiayan. "It's fine, why don't you want it? Can you adults decide the life of a child? You can take it if you want it, and you can refuse it if you want it?"
She glared at Fang Jiayan: "And you, how did you become a doctor? Do you treat life as a joke?"
Fang Jiayan hesitated and didn't dare to say a word.
The old lady was displeased and threw the mouse in her hand. She said, "You young people's attitude really shows no respect for life. You are self-righteous and arrogant."
She then asked Han Que, "Where is the child's father? Why didn't he come?"
Han pursed his lips and said nothing.
The old lady stared at her sharply for a few more seconds. "So you're just going to make the decision on your own?"
Han nodded, then shook her head. Fang Jiayan was afraid that the old lady would misunderstand, so she quickly made up a story: "The father of the child is on a business trip, and my friend just found out she's pregnant. She wants to confirm it before telling him."
"Yeah." The old lady's expression finally softened. She warned Han Que, "You're pregnant, probably three or four weeks. Go back and get some rest, pay attention to your nutrition, and stay cheerful. There's nothing in life that can't be overcome. Even if there's a huge problem, you have to be strong. Talk it over with the child's father. Got it?"
Han had no choice but to nod repeatedly.
The old lady then waved her hand and asked them to leave.
After leaving the clinic, Fang Jiayan pulled Han Que and ran quickly to the elevator. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and muttered, "Oh my god, I must have been crazy to let you make an appointment with her. This old lady is simply unreasonable."
Han smiled and said, "Ah, but she is really amazing. One sentence after another, it is hard to resist."
"That's true." Fang Jiayan sighed. "The old lady is quite amazing. She's a famous reproductive specialist, specializing in treating all kinds of infertility and difficult and complicated diseases. It's just that she's never married and lives alone, so it's inevitable that her personality is a little eccentric."
Han was stunned for a moment, but then he felt relieved after thinking about it. Perhaps it was because he didn't have it, so he was so anxious when he saw others not cherishing their lives.
Gu Ningwei really kept his promise and did not come to the 24th floor for two consecutive weeks. Other people in the office seemed to know something. They were busy and evasive in silence, and the atmosphere was weird.
However, Han suggested to Director Pan that he move to the Zhening Company downstairs to work, saying that it would be more convenient to communicate with other departments. Director Pan remained silent.
Han knew that she was going to report to Gu Ningwei, so he didn't say much and just quietly did his own thing.
Now she is a little listless and always sleepy. She dare not drink coffee or tea, and can only drink boiled water cup by cup.
Fang Jiayan said that she still had to be careful about everything before making a final decision.
"What if Gu Ningwei doesn't marry that painter in the end and still wants to marry you? You have to be prepared for both situations." Han knew that she was comforting her, but the baby was too young to undergo surgery. Fang Jiayan was worried about her having an abortion, saying that if it wasn't done cleanly, she would have to suffer, so she advised her to wait a while.
Han was counting the days and waiting, but he didn't know what he was waiting for, and lived in a daze every day.
An hour later, Director Pan said that she could move downstairs and asked other people to help move.
Director Pan personally helped Han Que move office supplies, documents, and other items downstairs, and instructed Liu Tongtong at the front desk: "Boss Gu said that Assistant Han should use Boss Li's office temporarily. Boss Li will not be coming to the company for the time being."
Liu Tongtong widened her eyes and looked at them, as if she was shocked by the news and at a loss.
Han waved his hand and said, "No, I'll just sit in my original seat."
Director Pan did not force her and helped her put the office supplies to her seat in the sales department.
Almost everyone in the department was not in the office, and people like Zhu Meimei had already resigned, leaving many seats vacant. The once bustling office now seemed deserted.
It took only a few months to move from the Zhening Company downstairs to the 24th floor, and then back to the Zhening Company from the 24th floor, but it seemed like a lifetime ago.
A fluorescent lamp was squeaking, as if it was broken. At the empty workstation, the light on the computer monitor was flickering with a cold light.
Han was packing up the documents and personal belongings she brought from downstairs. She took out her mug and wanted to go to the tea room to get some water, but her hand slipped and the mug fell to the ground, shattering with a loud bang.
She was stunned for a moment before she bent down and picked up the glass pieces on the ground. She and Gu Ningwei each had an identical cup.
It was while they were shopping in Qingdao. She said her glass was too small and it was inconvenient to drink from it. Gu Ningwei suggested buying a new one. He ended up buying two identical mugs. Han complained that they couldn't be distinguished. Gu Ningwei chuckled and said, "Why do you have to distinguish them so clearly? Haven't we exchanged everything? We've been in each other's arms for a long time."
Seeing her look of disgust, Gu Ningwei said, "This is not what I said, it's written in an ancient poem."
Seeing that she didn't believe him, he read to her: "You and I love each other so much, our love is so deep, and the love is as hot as fire. Take a piece of clay, knead you, and shape me. Break us both, and mix us together with water. Knead you again, and shape me again. You are in my clay, and I am in your clay. We share the same quilt in life and the same coffin in death!"
