Chapter 117 Chapter 117: Morning Sickness "The frequency of sexual intercourse should be appropriate..."
The movie is playing on the screen,
It is a documentary that roughly tells the story of the distribution of all minerals in the interstellar era and the chemical reactions that minerals will produce.
Hades took off his mask and sat side by side with Ian on the sofa, with two nutritious meals on the table in front of them.
Ian had done a lot of research before choosing Hedis's meal. The ingredients were perfectly matched, meeting the nutritional needs of pregnancy while also taking Hedis's taste into consideration.
——Although Hedis is easy to raise, Ian found that Hedis doesn’t like spicy food very much. He won’t show it, but he will frown when eating spicy food, which is quite cute.
Ian's meal was also very light. He himself preferred simple food - he really didn't have any preferences. He could eat spicy or non-spicy food, sweet or non-sweet food. Of course, chocolate cake was the only exception.
The movie was still playing, and soothing background music filled the living room.
Hades looked down at the plate in front of him. Although the food looked delicious, he felt an indescribable discomfort in his stomach.
His chest felt heaving, and he tried hard to suppress the urge to retch. His face turned slightly pale, and a thin layer of cold sweat even seeped out of his forehead.
He could tell at all costs that Ian had definitely put a lot of thought into this lunch.
Today, Hedis really didn't want to spoil Ian's fun, especially seeing how excited he was.
Ian, who was sitting next to him, was eating while turning his head to look at the screen from time to time - in fact, his peripheral vision was completely focused on Hades.
Hedis didn't want to ruin this rare relaxed atmosphere, so he endured it silently and tried to make his expression look more natural.
However, his discomfort did not ease.
The churning in his stomach became more pronounced. Hades' fingers trembled slightly, and the hand holding the chopsticks became somewhat weak.
"?"
Although Ian was watching a movie, he kept an eye on Hedis's condition.
He quickly noticed the abnormality of Hades and turned his head with a hint of concern in his eyes.
"Heddis, what's wrong with you? You don't look well."
Hearing Ian's words, Hades forced a smile and whispered:
"It's okay, Lord, I might just be a little tired."
Ian frowned, obviously not believing what he said.
He put down the chopsticks in his hand, reached out and gently touched Hades' forehead, which was cold to the touch.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
There was urgency in his tone.
"Do you want to rest for a while? Do you want to go in and lie down? Do you feel uncomfortable in your stomach or something?"
Hades shook his head, trying to make himself look more relaxed:
"It's really okay, Lord Xiong, please continue watching the movie."
But Ian was not fooled by him.
He turned off the sound of the movie and the living room suddenly became quiet.
Ian half-turned, facing Hades, his eyes filled with a firmness that brooked no refusal:
"Heddis, if you feel uncomfortable, just say it, don't force it."
Hades was silent for a moment, and finally said in a low voice:
"My chest feels a little bloated and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable...it might be a pregnancy reaction."
Ian was stunned for a moment after hearing this. After he came to his senses, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.
He gently held Hades' hand and said softly:
"I've done a lot of homework. Believe me, these reactions are normal. Don't endure it."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked quickly to the kitchen, poured a glass of warm water, and got some snacks to relieve morning sickness.
"Drink some water first and take it easy."
Ian handed the cup of water to Hades, his tone soft.
Hades took the cup of water and took a sip. The warm liquid slid down his throat, slightly relieving some of the discomfort.
He looked up at Ian with an apologetic look in his eyes:
"Sorry, Lord Xiong, for interrupting your movie."
Ian shook his head and said seriously:
"You can watch the movie anytime, but you are the most important."
After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added,
"If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me, don't force yourself, okay?"
Hades nodded. Looking at Ian's gentle eyes, he suddenly felt that his physical discomfort seemed to be relieved a lot.
He rarely took the initiative, gently shook Ian's hand, and whispered:
"thank you."
Ian smiled, sat back on the sofa, and gently put his arm around Hades' shoulders, his movements extremely natural.
His palm rested on Hades' shoulder, sending out a warm power that seemed to dispel all discomfort.
"If you're not feeling well, you can put it aside for a while. I'll just heat up the food later."
Ian's gaze fell on the profile of Hades, his eyes full of concern.
Although Hades' chest was still a little swollen, the discomfort seemed to be soothed a lot by Ian's gentleness.
He nodded slightly.
Ian's heart and eyes were now filled with Hades.
In fact, Ian is not as idle as he seems.
As the core figure of the laboratory, he is always very busy on weekdays.
In the past two days, various servers in the laboratory have been repurchasing and injecting data, and Morris and Ryan are busy moving data and samples stored elsewhere.
Although Ian tried his best to leave the offline matters to them, he knew in his heart that this was only a temporary relief.
By the time the data migration is completed and the experimental progress is restarted, he will definitely be so busy that he won't even have time to eat.
However, even so, Ian still squeezed out time to do these things - find a nutritionist to customize pregnancy meals, study precautions during pregnancy, and watch movies with Hedis... These seemingly trivial things are extremely important to him.
Things have their priorities, and for Ian, Hedis now needs his "special care".
Pregnancy is a time when progesterone surges, and both the body and mind become extra sensitive.
Although Hades was always strong and calm, Ian knew that he would also have moments of discomfort and vulnerability.
As Hedis's lover, Ian correctly realized that he had a great responsibility to stay by Hedis's side and give him the greatest support and comfort.
I didn't finish watching the movie during the day.
The pause button was pressed halfway through the playback, and the picture on the screen was frozen on a long-shot scene, but no one paid attention to it anymore.
The meal took more than an hour.
Although Hades managed to eat a few bites, the discomfort in his chest never completely subsided.
Ian stayed with him, soothing him softly and occasionally offering him warm water or snacks in an attempt to ease his discomfort.
However, Hades's face was still a little pale, and the cold sweat on his forehead had not completely subsided.
In the afternoon, Hedis's morning sickness suddenly intensified. He suddenly stood up from the sofa, rushed to the bathroom, bent down, and began to retch violently.
Ian was startled by his reaction and quickly followed him, standing behind him and patting his back gently.
"Herdes, how are you? Do you want me to call the family doctor?"
There was a hint of panic in Ian's voice; he had never seen Hades like this before.
Hades struggled to straighten up, trying to block the male insect's sight, his face looking frighteningly embarrassed.
He took a deep breath and whispered, "No need... My Lord, this is just a normal reaction during pregnancy. There's no need to bother the doctor."
Ian was unwilling to give up easily, frowning:
"No, I'm worried about you like this. I'll ask the doctor to come and take a look, okay?"
Hades wanted to say something else, but his stomach churned again and he was forced to bend over again, the sound of retching echoing in the bathroom.
Seeing this, Ian's expression became even more serious. He quickly took out his communicator and dialed the number of his family doctor.
After hanging up the call, Ian walked to Hades and gently supported his shoulders:
"Herdes, please sit down and rest for a while. The doctor will be here soon."
Hades nodded, letting Ian wipe his mouth and help him back to the sofa.
There was an inexplicable emotion in Hades' eyes: "My Lord, I'm sorry... I'm sorry to bother you."
Ian sat beside him, gently put his arm around his shoulders, and patted his back gently with his palm, silently comforting him.
The room was so quiet that only the sound of the two people's breathing could be heard.
The sunlight shines through the window onto the floor, casting a warm light and shadow.
After a while,
The family doctor rushed over.
He carefully examined Hedis's condition and confirmed that it was just a normal reaction during pregnancy. He then prescribed some foods to relieve morning sickness and gave some precautions.
"Pregnancy reactions vary depending on one's constitution. Some female insects experience more severe symptoms. Your Highness's condition indicates that your body is actually quite depleted. You must have consumed too much energy on the battlefield earlier in the pregnancy. You must be paying attention to your diet and rest."
The doctor spoke gently and professionally. As he spoke, he recorded Hades' condition in the medical record book. Occasionally, he looked up at Ian, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Ian stood aside and carefully wrote down the doctor's advice word for word.
The doctor continued, his tone steady and careful:
"In addition to diet and rest, there are some other points to pay attention to."
"For example, the frequency of sexual intercourse should be properly controlled, not too much, but also not too little, about three times a week."
"In addition, we should also pay attention to some details in life. The bathroom should have anti-slip measures, and it is best to cover the corners of the house with anti-collision strips to avoid accidental collisions."
Ian nodded, looking as serious as if he was listening to an important academic report.
He took out the electronic notebook he carried with him and quickly wrote down every word the doctor said, even marking some key points next to it.
The doctor was really surprised when he saw Ian's appearance.
He had seen many male insects, but it was rare to find one as concerned about the pregnancy period of female insects as Ian.
Most male insects are indifferent to the female insects' reactions during pregnancy and even think that these are things that are taken for granted.
Although the doctor felt strange, he did not show it.
The doctor just smiled and continued:
"There are two main reactions during pregnancy. One is morning sickness, which I just mentioned."
"The other one is actually engorged breasts."
"Breast engorgement may occur in the second or third trimester, with breast tenderness and even milk secretion."
"These are all normal phenomena, but if the discomfort is too severe, you can use appropriate massage or hot compress to relieve it."
When Ian heard this, he looked down at Hades, whose ears were red as he sat on the sofa, with a look of heartache in his eyes.
Hedis sat on the sofa, wishing he could hide himself away. He no longer had the face to listen.
"Um, with the engorged breasts...will it be painful?"
Although Hades was already extremely ashamed and angry, Ian still couldn't help but ask, with worry in his tone.
Ian always manages to become a curious student in all sorts of strange places.
The doctor nodded:
"There is definitely some discomfort, but it's different for every female."
"Your Highness is in good health, it shouldn't be too serious."
"However, if you feel unwell, you must deal with it promptly. Specific manuals and videos are also available."
After the doctor explained all the precautions, he closed the medical record and said with a smile:
"Your Highness's condition is currently stable. Please make sure to rest and eat well. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me."
Ian nodded: "Thank you, doctor."
To be honest, from childhood to adulthood, he has hardly ever been so polite to anyone except his mentor.
——Ian has a very poisonous mouth. Xirui even commented that "I'm afraid you'll poison yourself if you lick your mouth." Anyway, in front of outsiders, he is simply a powerful and high-damage weapon.
The doctor smiled, picked up the medicine box and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he glanced at Ian again.
He had seen too many male insects being indifferent to female insects, but it was rare to see someone as meticulous as Ian.
No wonder His Highness chose Lord Ian.
——However, what the doctor didn't know was that the facts were completely different from what he guessed. The prince fell in love with Ian at first sight.
