Chapter 292 Clinical Miracle
A month has passed.
The weather in Beijing is getting colder and colder. Most of the leaves have fallen, and when the wind blows, they swirl all over the ground.
Su Wantang has been living a comfortable life in Courtyard No. 1 lately.
When she woke up in the morning, Lu Jingyan was already up and busy in the kitchen. She lay on the bed, smelling the aroma of fried eggs wafting up from downstairs, feeling lazy and unwilling to move.
"Get up and eat." Lu Jingyan carried the plate upstairs, and seeing that she was still huddled in bed, he reached out and pulled her up.
Su Wantang sat up groggily, her hair a mess, her eyes still closed.
Lu Jingyan placed the plate by the bedside and leaned down to kiss her forehead.
"If you don't get up soon, the porridge will get cold."
Su Wantang then opened her eyes, glanced at him, and said, "Why are you up so early?"
“I’m used to it.” Lu Jingyan sat on the edge of the bed, watching her eat.
Su Wantang took a bite of her fried egg, looked up at him, and asked, "Aren't you going to the military base today?"
"Let's go this afternoon," Lu Jingyan said. "I'll spend the morning with you."
Su Wantang laughed, "I'm not a porcelain doll, why do I need to be with you every day?"
Lu Jingyan didn't speak, he just looked at her.
His eyes were full of possessiveness.
Su Wantang's face flushed slightly under his gaze, and she lowered her head to continue eating.
For the past month, she has been taking medicinal baths and receiving acupuncture every day, and her health has indeed improved a lot.
My hands and feet are no longer so cold, my complexion is rosy, and I don't even have nightmares anymore.
Lu Jingyan saw it all but said nothing. Every day he would try to cook delicious food for her and hold her while she slept at night, his hand resting on her lower abdomen for the entire night.
Life was peaceful, yet sweet.
After finishing her meal, Su Wantang went downstairs to take a walk in the courtyard.
The crabapple tree in the yard was in full bloom, its pink blossoms scattered all over the ground when the wind blew.
She stood under the tree, looking up at the flowers, and for the first time felt at peace.
Lu Jingyan stood not far away, just watching her.
He thought that being able to stay with this person for the rest of his life was enough.
Gao Jianjun arrived at noon.
He rode his bike into the yard in a flurry of activity, jumped off, and his face was covered in sweat.
"Sister-in-law! Is sister-in-law home?"
Su Wantang came out of the house and saw him like this. "What's wrong?"
Gao Jianjun, panting, exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, it's great news! It's fantastic news!"
Su Wantang laughed, "What good news has made you so excited?"
Gao Jianjun wiped his sweat. "Zhang Lan is pregnant!"
Su Wantang was stunned for a moment.
Lu Jingyan came out of the kitchen and stopped when he heard this.
Gao Jianjun pulled out a lab report and handed it to Su Wantang, "Look, this is the result from the hospital, positive for pregnancy!"
Su Wantang took it and looked at the paper.
It clearly states above: positive pregnancy, HCG level is normal.
She held the edge of the paper between her fingers and didn't say anything.
Lu Jingyan walked over, stood beside her, and put his arm around her waist.
"Congratulations to them." His voice was deep. "Thank you for your hard work."
Su Wantang shook her head, "It's not hard work."
She returned the test results to Gao Jianjun, asking, "Where are Li Yong and Zhang Lan?"
“He’s at home,” Gao Jianjun said. “Li Yong held Zhang Lan and cried for a long time. I was too embarrassed to go inside when I saw him like that.”
Su Wantang smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."
Gao Jianjun added, "Li Yong asked me to pass on a message that all his possessions are here." He pulled out a savings book, "and said that if he ever needs my help, I will go through fire and water for him."
Su Wantang looked at the passbook but didn't take it.
“I don’t want the money,” she said. “Take it back and keep it for them to use to raise their children.”
Gao Jianjun was stunned. "But Li Yong said..."
“I said no, and that’s final.” Su Wantang interrupted him. “Tell him that living a good life and raising the child is the greatest way to repay me.”
Gao Jianjun looked at her for a long time before nodding, "Sister-in-law, I thank you on their behalf."
Su Wantang waved her hand, "Alright, let's go back."
Gao Jianjun is gone.
The courtyard fell silent again.
Lu Jingyan held Su Wantang in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and asked, "How are you feeling?"
Su Wantang leaned against him without saying a word.
She knew what Lu Jingyan was asking.
Zhang Lan's ability to conceive proves that her remedy was effective.
And what about herself?
She took medicinal baths, acupuncture, and medicine every day, and her health did improve.
But she wasn't sure if she could get pregnant.
Lu Jingyan sensed the change in her emotions and hugged her even tighter.
"Don't overthink it," he said. "You're already doing very well."
Su Wantang closed her eyes. "I know."
She raised her hand and placed it on the back of Lu Jingyan's hand.
“I’m not in a hurry,” she said. “Really.”
Lu Jingyan lowered his head and kissed her hair. "I'm here for you."
The news spread in the afternoon.
In the military compound, all the relatives were talking about this.
"Have you heard? Zhang Lan is pregnant!"
"Really? Hasn't she been unable to conceive for five years?"
"It's true! I saw the test results with my own eyes, the hospital stamped them!"
"Then how did she suddenly get pregnant?"
"I heard they found a miracle doctor, surnamed Bai, named Mr. Bai."
"Mr. Bai? Who is that?"
"I don't know. Neither Li Yong nor Zhang Lan will say. They said they don't want people to ask."
"So mysterious?"
"That's right, but they are really amazing. They cured Zhang Lan in just one month."
"A month? That's way too fast!"
"That was fast! I heard Zhang Lan went to Peking Union Medical College Hospital before, and the doctor said there was no chance and told her to give up. But Mr. Bai made a move, and she got pregnant in just one month!"
"How much skill does that take?"
"Who can argue with that?"
The gossipy women in the courtyard gathered together, chatting animatedly.
Several of them had previously gossiped about Su Wantang quite a bit.
Forget about being delicate, having a weak body, or not being good enough for Lu Jingyan.
Now that they've heard about this, everyone's shut up.
"Do you think... this Mr. Bai might be related to the Lu family?"
What's the relationship?
"Think about it, Zhang Lan is Gao Jianjun's cousin, and Gao Jianjun is Lu Jingyan's comrade-in-arms. This matter must have been arranged by the Lu family."
"That's right! Then Mr. Bai's relationship with the Lu family must be quite special!"
"That young mistress of the Lu family..."
The group exchanged glances and fell silent.
Peking Union Medical College Hospital.
Shen Qingyun sat in her office, holding a medical record in her hand.
She stared at those data for a long time.
There was a knock on the door, and a young doctor peeked in.
"Director Shen, you wanted to see me?"
Shen Qingyun looked up. "Xiao Zhao, do you remember that military dependent woman you told me about last time, Zhang Lan?"
Xiao Zhao was taken aback for a moment. "I remember, what's wrong?"
“She’s pregnant,” Shen Qingyun said.
Xiao Zhao's eyes widened. "Really?"
"Hmm." Shen Qingyun handed him the medical record. "This is her previous examination report. Take a look."
Xiao Zhao took it, flipped through it, and his expression grew increasingly surprised.
“This…this is impossible,” he said. “Given her condition, it should be very difficult for her to conceive naturally.”
Shen Qingyun leaned back in her chair. "I also thought it was impossible. But the fact is, she's pregnant."
Xiao Zhao scratched his head, "So how did she treat it?"
"I heard they found a miracle doctor, surnamed Bai," Shen Qingyun said. "He was cured in just one month."
Xiao Zhao was stunned. "A month?"
“Yes,” Shen Qingyun said. “And it’s said that this person is very mysterious and doesn’t allow people to find out his identity.”
Xiao Zhao thought for a moment, "Director Shen, do you think this person might be a charlatan?"
Shen Qingyun shook her head, "It doesn't seem like it."
She paused for a moment, then said, "If it were a scam, it wouldn't have such a noticeable effect."
Xiao Zhao wanted to say something, but Shen Qingyun waved her hand and said, "Alright, you can go out now."
Xiao Zhao is gone.
The office fell silent again.
Shen Qingyun sat there, her mind in turmoil.
She remembered Zhang Lan's situation very clearly.
After five years of infertility, examinations revealed severe coldness in the body and poor ovarian function.
In this situation, even with treatment, it would take several years to see any improvement.
But now, she got pregnant in just one month.
Shen Qingyun rubbed her temples.
She suddenly remembered her previous visit to the Lu family.
Su Wantang's calm and composed face.
That phrase, "I believe it will be resolved."
And then there's that mysterious "Mr. White".
Shen Qingyun stared at the medical record on the table, and a thought popped into her mind.
