Chapter 440 Becoming a Family Doctor
"That's wonderful!" Wang Lijuan cried with joy. "Cen Yan, you're being a bit modest. Everyone knows that besides Director Huang, you're the best doctor at the health center. Now, when residents of Dongming Island have a headache or fever, they all specifically ask for you at the health center. If you say you're pregnant, then you're definitely right."
"Yes, Xiao Cen, don't be modest." Commissar Lu also had tears in his eyes. He never expected that at his age, he would have the opportunity to become a father.
Cen Yan poured cold water on their enthusiasm, saying, "Political Commissar, Madam, it would be best if you went to the health center for a check-up. If conditions permit, it would be even better to go to Lancheng Hospital, where the medical equipment is much more advanced than that of the health center."
"This test is not to confirm whether you are pregnant, but to screen for ectopic pregnancy, and to assess your wife's health and whether she can give birth to the child."
Wang Lijuan is 45 years old this year, which falls into the category of advanced maternal age. Whether during pregnancy, childbirth, or postpartum, there are great risks involved.
But Wang Lijuan was well aware of her own situation. When she heard Cen Yan's words, she was not surprised. On the contrary, it seemed that she had been mentally prepared for it.
“Cen Yan, I understand everything you’re saying, but my biggest regret in this life is not being able to give Lao Lu a child! I really want to fulfill my wish to be a mother, so no matter how hard or tiring it is to carry this child, I will not give up!”
Wang Lijuan touched her belly, took a deep breath, and said, "No one can change my mind. I am determined to give birth to this child!"
“Actually, before I came to you, I had already advised your teacher’s wife to abort the child, because it would be too much of a burden on her body, but she refused. I also can’t deny how happy I am about the arrival of this child.”
Political Commissar Lu put his arm around Wang Lijuan's shoulder and promised, word by word, "Today, in front of these two juniors, Lijuan, I want to say a few sweet words to you. I love you. In my heart, you are the greatest woman in the world."
"You rascal! What nonsense are you talking about!" Wang Lijuan's face was a little hot. "Aren't you ashamed in front of the children? Jingchuan, Cen Yan, don't mind, your teacher is just like this."
"Isn't that why you like me? It's a way of expressing your feelings."
"You're just trying to make yourself look good. Hurry up and go inside and bring me the things I prepared earlier," Wang Lijuan scolded.
Political Commissar Lu entered the room and quickly came out with a red envelope in his hand.
"This is...?" Cen Yan asked knowingly.
Wang Lijuan handed the red envelope directly to Cen Yan, saying, "Thank you for taking my pulse. This red envelope is your consultation fee."
“Madam, I appreciate your kind gesture, but I cannot accept the money. Qi Jingchuan and I are here for a meal as juniors, how could we possibly accept money?”
Cen Yan firmly refused.
Wang Lijuan shoved the red envelope into Cen Yan's hand, saying, "Just take it. Why be so polite with your teacher's wife? Besides, I have something to ask of you. It's like this, this child was hard-won, and I'm getting older, so the pregnancy process must have been full of twists and turns."
“Our two families live close by, Cen Yan. I hope you can come to my house from time to time to check my pulse and make sure the baby and I are okay. If anything changes, I can react immediately.”
At her age, maintaining a pregnancy is definitely a huge challenge! To be able to hire such an excellent doctor like Cen Yan for this little money to help her ensure a safe pregnancy is an incredible bargain!
Cen Yan understood. So Wang Lijuan and Political Commissar Lu meant to ask her to be their family doctor during her pregnancy.
