"I didn't expect my wife to be so strong," Han Chen teased.
"Stop teasing me," Zhou Mo said with embarrassment. If she hadn't found this matter too embarrassing, she wouldn't have concealed it until now.
"Where's the video? What happened? How did this end up on the internet?"
Zhou Mo thought for a moment and said, "Yu Yizhou came to my house to make a scene. It happened to be a weekend, and the neighbors were all at home. The noise was so loud that many people came to watch. I wonder who recorded it."
Han Chen: "You didn't deal with it at the time?"
Zhou Mo: "It wasn't a big deal at the time. It was just forwarded to a few community homeowner groups. I told the property management and reported it to the police. I haven't seen the video online since then. I thought the matter was over, but who knew that someone with ulterior motives, seeking to attract traffic, would steal the video and use it as a gimmick to attract attention."
Han Chen: "The internet is not a good place right now. The cost of breaking the law is low, but the cost of defending your rights is high. Things like this are hard to prevent. Don't take it too seriously. We'll just have to figure out the truth ourselves."
Zhou Mo: "You are still the best."
Han Chen: "When did I become unwell?"
Zhou Mo: "Of course you've always been nice, but your second brother... when I first met him, I thought he was quite gentle, but now..."
Han Chen: "Don't be fooled by first impressions. My second brother is a typical Han family member and is used to considering things from the perspective of family interests. You don't have to worry about him. Just live your own life. I'll contact him later."
Zhou Mo: "Why did he suddenly come to Dongjiang? And to my house?"
Han Chen: "Things are a bit complicated. The reason is me."
Zhou Mo: "You?"
Han Chen: "Well, my eldest uncle's situation... I haven't handled it well. He went to the capital to visit my grandfather today, and I guess everyone in the family knows about our relationship. My second brother called me this morning, but I was busy and didn't answer. He wanted to help me, so he came to Dongjiang specifically to find me. I guess I wasn't in Dongjiang, so he came to you."
Zhou Mo: "When you said he wanted to help you, did you mean he wanted me to leave?"
Han Chen was silent for a moment, "Yeah."
Zhou Mo's heart clenched inexplicably, "What about you? What do you think?"
Han Chen: "Don't worry, I won't go back to the capital, nor will I separate from you. We are already married, aren't we?"
"Yes," Zhou Mo bit his lip in confusion, "There is something I need to tell you. Your second brother already knows about your marriage. He said he won't keep it a secret for us and told us to fend for ourselves."
A faint sigh came from Han Chen's side. "If you know, then know. It will be known sooner or later anyway. There is no way to hide this."
Zhou Mo: "What now? What should we do?"
Han Chen: "What if I say I don't know either?"
Zhou Mo: "Then we'll take it one step at a time. As long as we know that no matter what happens, we must trust each other and won't separate. Faith and trust are more important than anything else. As long as there are no differences between us, no one else can help."
Han Chen: "You're right. Thank you. I feel much more at ease with your words."
Zhou Mo: "No matter what happens, I will face it with you."
Han Chen: "Yeah."
Zhou Mo: "Are you still busy? Why don't you get busy? Finish it early and come back early."
Han Chen: "It's almost there. This latest batch of patients should be the last wave. The frontline hospital has been evacuated. Once the condition of this batch of patients stabilizes, we should be able to go back."
Zhou Mo: "Wait for you to come back."
Han Chen: "Okay."
The two chatted for a few more minutes before reluctantly saying goodbye and hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Mo remembered that he had not told Han Chen about the abnormal test results.
Zhou Mo thought about it and decided to wait until he saw Dr. Lu tomorrow.
Han Chen is also in the critical moment now. He didn't receive any call from Han Ji during the day, which shows that he is very busy.
Telling him about her test results at this time would only cause Han Chen more trouble.
Forget it, let’s wait for the doctor’s opinion and judgment.
Maybe it's not that bad.
…
The next day.
Zhou Mo got up early.
I went to the Chinese medicine hospital early.
She was the first patient.
Doctor Lu had just arrived at his shift and was surprised to see Zhou Mo as his first patient. He asked, "Why didn't you come to see me yesterday? Did you do all the tests?"
"Done," Zhou Mo handed in the printed report.
Doctor Lu adjusted his glasses and took a quick look. "The plain film is fine. It's probably not a lumbar spine problem. Your hormone levels are not good. Your gonadotropin is a bit high. How's your menstrual status?"
Zhou Mo: "Irregular. Sometimes early, sometimes late."
Doctor Lu frowned: "Have you stopped menstruating?"
Zhou Mo: "Yes, but he hasn't been here since last month."
Doctor Lu: "Why didn't you come to see me last month?"
Zhou Mo said embarrassedly: "I was too busy and forgot."
Doctor Lu sighed, "Young people these days, you don't take your health seriously. You take advantage of your youth and think it's no big deal."
Zhou Mo: “…”
Doctor Lu: "I won't beat around the bush. You've seen your test results yourself, right?"
Zhou Mo: "Yeah."
Doctor Lu: "You must have searched online as well, right?"
Zhou Mo nodded, "Yes."
Doctor Lu: "You should have a good idea of what's going on. My diagnosis is that it might be premature ovarian insufficiency. This condition is quite common in women your age. Your amenorrhea has been at most two months, not yet four, so we need to observe you further. However, your gonadotropin is high, while your estrogen and anti-mullerian hormone are low, which are typical symptoms of premature ovarian insufficiency. Your lower back pain could also be due to this condition."
Zhou Mo's face was serious. She asked earnestly, "I also searched online and found the same result. This disease..."
"It's not an emergency or terminal illness," Doctor Lu sighed. "The most direct impact of this disease is fertility. If follow-up treatments aren't up to par and the condition isn't properly regulated, it will be difficult to get pregnant."
Zhou Moru was struck by lightning and was instantly frozen in place.
"Don't be discouraged," Doctor Lu said. "You're still young, so try active treatment first."
Zhou Mo's grip on the bag tightened unconsciously. "I read online that this disease will progress, and the end stage is premature ovarian failure. The entire ovary will atrophy and its function will fail. I might..."
Doctor Lu: "Don't scare yourself. This disease will indeed progress, but your symptoms are still relatively mild, and you haven't started treatment yet, right? Let's adjust your condition first, then do a test and see how it goes."
Zhou Mo bit his lip and nodded with difficulty.
Zhou Mo understood the reason.
"I understand your anxiety. You're at the right age to have a child. In a few years, you're afraid you'll become an older mother and it will be even harder to have a child, right?"
Zhou Mo did not deny it and lowered his head silently.
She didn't know how to deal with the current situation.
She didn’t want children before, thinking that having children would affect her studies and future work.
But Zhou Mo never thought that he would lose his fertility from then on.
After all, Han Chen really likes children and has always wanted to have a child.
