Yu Jiu was indeed bleeding, but the amount of bleeding was not much, so it did not wet her outer pants and could not be seen from the outside. However, even so, the situation should not be ignored.
"The pregnant woman is showing signs of miscarriage and must be hospitalized for intravenous observation. It is best not to move her during this time to avoid any adverse effects on the fetus and the pregnant woman."
The doctor made this suggestion, and Xu Zijiang agreed without hesitation.
"Then let's get admitted to the hospital. I'll go pay the bill right now!"
"Okay, in that case, I'll put out the order."
Seeing that Xu Zijiang agreed, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief and immediately wrote out a form for Xu Zijiang to take to pay the bill. The doctor had encountered many disobedient patients who insisted that they were in good condition and did not need to be hospitalized. He did not know whether they were unwilling to spend the money or did not trust their medical skills. If they really thought they were fine, why would they come to the hospital?
"Doctor, does that mean the IV drip can save the baby? The baby is already 5 months old, you must save both the mother and the baby!"
Zhang Yan was also frantic. A miscarriage—that brat really went too far. He actually pushed Yu Jiu to the point of miscarriage. On the way there, she had a vague premonition that this was bad.
"I can't guarantee that. I can only say I'll do my best. Although she has signs of miscarriage, it's not that serious. With bed rest and IV fluids for a while, she should be able to keep the pregnancy. But it depends on the specific situation."
"You family members, please don't worry."
The doctor spoke seriously with Zhang Yan for a few words before getting busy. Yu Jiu lay on the hospital bed, pale-faced, while the nurses gave her injections and IV drips. Everyone was busy running around.
"Mommy, waaaaah..."
An'an didn't understand anything about miscarriage or anything like that. She only knew that everyone looked unwell, and her mother was lying in bed feeling unwell. She knew that this meant she was sick. She was very scared and stood by the bed, holding Yu Jiu's other hand that wasn't being pricked by an IV. Her voice was trembling with tears, and her pretty little mouth was pursed in fear. Tears were welling up in her eyes.
"It's okay, An'an, don't be afraid. An'an, can you sit on the stool by yourself? Mommy can't hold you now."
Yu Jiu forced a smile at An An to comfort her, and told her to sit down on the chair. Yu Jiu was in so much pain that she had no strength left, and her voice was very weak.
“I’ll hold you while you sit. Don’t be afraid, An’an. Aunt Yan is here, and your dad is here too. He just went to pay some money and will be back soon. Mom isn’t feeling well right now, so let’s not disturb her and let her rest for a while, okay?”
Zhang Yan sat down on the chair and put An'an on her lap. She touched An'an's little hand and whispered words of comfort to her. After comforting An'an, she looked at Yu Jiu.
"If you feel unwell, just close your eyes and rest for a while, you'll be fine."
Yu Jiu needs to remain calm now, as getting agitated could easily harm the fetus, and she might end up miscarrying even if she doesn't want to.
"Okay, I'll take a nap then."
Yu Jiu closed her eyes weakly. She was indeed very tired and needed to rest. Under the comfort of the acupuncture, her body gradually improved. At least her stomach didn't hurt as much. After the pain subsided a little, she slowly fell asleep and didn't even know when Xu Zijiang returned.
When she woke up again, it was already dark outside, and Zhang Yan had already gone home. Xu Zijiang sat by her bedside, holding An'an. An'an noticed her as soon as she opened her eyes.
"Daddy, Mommy's awake! Mommy, how are you? Does your tummy still hurt? Mommy, are you hungry? Daddy bought some food, I'll feed you!"
Seeing that Yu Jiu had woken up, An An was very excited and wanted to rush over to Yu Jiu, but she also knew that she couldn't move Yu Jiu right now.
"It doesn't hurt as much anymore. Has An'an eaten yet?"
After a nap and half a day of IV drips, Yu Jiu felt much better. She reached out and held An An's little hand, smiling gently at her.
"I've eaten, Mom. I'm so glad you're alright!"
An'an was finally relieved. She snuggled her little face into Yu Jiu's hand, showing great affection.
"Are you really not feeling any discomfort? If you are, tell me and I'll go call the doctor."
Xu Zijiang finally managed to get a word in edgewise. He bent down and touched Yu Jiu's little face, feeling both heartache and regret. If he had known it would turn out this way, he shouldn't have helped build that house. If he had stayed with Yu Jiu, how could that brat Xiao Kang have pushed her?
“It’s none of your business. He suddenly pushed me. Who would have thought? Zhang Yan was standing right next to me. She didn’t react either. I didn’t react either. I was pushed in the stomach in an instant.”
"But I really don't feel uncomfortable at all now. What did the doctor say?"
Yu Jiu is his wife, and they've been married for so many years. How could she not see what Xu Zijiang was thinking? She immediately spoke up to comfort him, knowing she couldn't let Xu Zijiang take all the blame.
However, she really hated that brat Xiaokang to death. Once she was discharged from the hospital, she would definitely teach him a lesson. Regardless of whether she could keep her child, she would give that brat a good beating, otherwise he would really turn the world upside down!
Speaking of the baby in her belly, Yu Jiu has been pregnant for so many months, and she has grown very attached to the child. If something were to happen, it would be a huge blow to her. I hope the baby will be alright. Sigh.
"The doctor said to observe for a few days, but if you don't feel any discomfort and the bleeding has stopped, then there should be no problem."
Xu Zi recounted what the doctor had said to Yu Jiu. Yu Jiu touched her protruding belly and found that the pain was indeed not as bad as when she first arrived, only a slight, dragging pain remained. She then used the blanket to reach under the covers and felt her pants; they were dry, as were her undergarments—no blood.
She felt a little relieved.
"That's good, but just in case, let's stay in the hospital for a few more days."
"That's for sure. He'll need to stay in the hospital for at least a week to see what the doctor says."
"You should eat first. You must be hungry after sleeping for so long. Eat something first, and we can talk about the rest later. An'an and I have already eaten."
Xu Zi helped Yu Jiu sit up and put two pillows behind her back so she could lean on them more comfortably.
Yu Jiu was receiving an IV drip and only had one hand free, making it inconvenient for her to eat. Xu Zijiang fed her spoonful by spoonful. Since she couldn't eat just anything right now, Xu Zijiang went home and cooked her some vegetable and lean meat porridge, as well as pork rib and corn soup.
Yu Jiu ate half a bowl of porridge and drank a bowl of soup from Xu Zijiang's hand, then shook her head.
"I'm not eating anymore, I'm full."
"Why have you only eaten so little? Have another piece of meat."
She said she was full, so Xu Zijiang didn't want to force her. He just put a piece of meat on her plate and told her to eat more meat to nourish her body so she could get better. Yu Jiu didn't refuse and obediently opened her mouth and ate the piece of meat.
"Why don't you let An'an go back with Zhang Yan and sleep at Zhang Yan's house tonight? You can't let her spend the night at the hospital too, can you?"
