Chapter 47 Lu Tingxiao accompanies his wife for a checkup
Thanks to Jiang Ruoxi's tireless care, Lu Tingxiao's condition finally improved and he slowly opened his eyes. Jiang Ruoxi watched him wake up, and her heart finally settled down. But just as she was about to call a doctor, she felt a strong sense of dizziness, her eyes went dark, and she fell straight down.
When Jiang Ruoxi regained consciousness, all she saw was a clean white ward. The doctor told her with a smile that she was pregnant.
Jiang Ruoxi was stunned at first, then her eyes turned slightly red, her hand unconsciously stroked her belly, and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise, that smile was full of surprise and tenderness of being a new mother.
At this time, Lu Tingxiao, who was lying on the bed next to him, was extremely worried after seeing Jiang Ruoxi faint. Regardless of the fact that his body had not yet fully recovered, he struggled to get up and go to the bed next to him to see her, but he fell back heavily due to exhaustion. Fortunately, the nurse comforted him in time. As a last resort, the doctor and the nurse could only move aside to block Jiang Ruoxi's side of the bed so that Lu Tingxiao could see Jiang Ruoxi and told him that Jiang Ruoxi was fine and that she was pregnant.
When Lu Tingxiao heard the news that Jiang Ruoxi was pregnant, he was stunned, his eyes full of disbelief. After a moment, his eyes became slightly moist and his mouth curled up, revealing a happy and satisfied smile.
He looked at Jiang Ruoxi tenderly, as if everything in the world had ceased to exist, and his eyes only contained his beloved wife and the upcoming little life.
He secretly swore in his heart that he must get better as soon as possible. In the days to come, he would protect them and their child and give them a warm and happy home.
In the ward, their eyes met, thousands of words were expressed in them, and a sweet atmosphere filled the small space.
Jiang Ruoxi was lying on the bed next to Lu Tingxiao. She stared at him with eyes full of tenderness and expectation. She said softly, "Tingxiao, you're going to be a father. Are you happy?"
When Lu Tingxiao heard this, his eyes instantly turned red and his voice was slightly choked with sobs: "Wife, I'm happy. I'm so happy! We have a child, and you're going to be a mother too."
His eyes were filled with surprise and joy of being a father for the first time, but then a trace of self-blame flashed across his face, and his brows slightly furrowed, "Wife, how do you feel now? It's all because of my injury that I dragged you down, otherwise you wouldn't have fainted!"
Jiang Ruoxi shook her head gently and put her finger on her lips, signaling him not to continue. Her eyes were full of reproach: "Don't say that. How could I stand by and watch you get hurt? Besides, the arrival of this child is the best gift God has given us. He wants to come and see what kind of hero his father is!"
Jiang Ruoxi got down from her hospital bed. She took Lu Tingxiao's hand and slowly placed it on her belly. A happy smile spread across her face. "Look, our little baby has quietly made his home in my belly. You have to get better soon for us!"
Lu Tingxiao felt the slightly bulging belly under his palm, as if he could really touch the existence of a little life. His hands trembled slightly and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.
After a long time, he recovered and said carefully: "Wife, when I get better, I will take good care of you and your child. From now on, leave all the big and small things at home to me, and you can rest assured and take care of your baby!"
Jiang Ruoxi leaned on Lu Tingxiao's shoulder and nodded gently, "Well, I believe you, but you have to get better soon. I'm looking forward to our family of three watching the sunrise together, taking a walk in the park together, and experiencing every bit of life together!"
Lu Tingxiao hugged Jiang Ruoxi tightly, kissed her on the forehead, and said firmly, "Don't worry, for you, I will definitely get better as soon as possible and actively do rehabilitation training. In the future, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together. Our family of three will never be separated!"
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. By the way, Tingxiao, when I fainted just now, did the doctor tell me how long I had been pregnant?"
"The doctor didn't say anything, I was thinking, just wait for me in the hospital to check it out with you!"
"Okay, wait until you feel better in two days before going again!"
In the next few days, the ward was filled with warmth and tranquility. Every day, Jiang Ruoxi would carefully drop a few drops of spiritual spring water into the water she and Lu Tingxiao drank when no one was paying attention. This spiritual spring water can not only speed up Lu Tingxiao's recovery from his injuries, but it will also be of great benefit to the baby in her belly.
That day, Lu Tingxiao took the cup of water handed to him by Jiang Ruoxi as usual. After taking a sip, his slightly wrinkled brows instantly relaxed. His eyes were full of confusion and surprise. He couldn't help but say, "Wife, why do I feel that the water you handed me is particularly delicious? It has a sweet taste. After drinking it, I feel like my wounds are healing quickly!"
Jiang Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm. She was secretly glad that she had been prepared, and quickly interrupted, "That's because I added wound-healing powder to the water you drank. I asked someone to get it with great difficulty, and it works very well."
After saying this, he smiled calmly, but a barely perceptible nervousness flashed in his eyes.
Lu Tingxiao noticed the nervousness that flashed across Jiang Ruoxi's eyes. He knew that his wife had her own secrets. As long as she didn't want to tell him, he would pretend that he didn't know. He knew that his wife would not harm him.
Lu Tingxiao looked at her lovingly and nodded, "My wife is the one who has the solution. No wonder I feel better day by day. This powder is truly magical. If all the soldiers could use it, it would reduce so many casualties!" As he spoke, he raised his head and drank the water in the cup.
Seeing that he didn't suspect anything, Jiang Ruoxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to take the empty cup, and said, "Yes, when you are discharged from the hospital, I will go find the person who prepared the powder and see if I can buy the prescription and give it to the troops!"
Lu Tingxiao looked at Jiang Ruoxi in surprise and joy: "Is it okay? Wife, is it really okay?"
Jiang Ruoxi couldn't bear to hit Lu Tingxiao: "I can only say that I'll go and ask, but they may not be able to sell it!"
"Okay, as long as there is hope!"
As the days passed, Lu Tingxiao recovered very quickly under the nourishment of the spiritual spring water. His originally pale face gradually regained color and he was in better spirits. Every time the doctor came to check on him, he was amazed at his recovery speed and praised him over and over again.
That morning, the morning light gently sprinkled into the ward. Lu Tingxiao stretched his muscles and bones. The nourishment of the spiritual spring water over the past few days made him feel that his body had recovered almost completely. He walked to Jiang Ruoxi, reached out and gently took her hand, his eyes full of concern and expectation, and said: "Xixi, I feel that I have recovered well. Today I will accompany you to the obstetrics and gynecology department for a thorough check to see how many months our baby is, so that I can feel more at ease."
Jiang Ruoxi looked at Lu Tingxiao's energetic appearance, her heart filled with joy, and she nodded gently in agreement: "Okay, I'll feel at ease having you accompany me." The two held hands, completed the formalities with the help of the nurse, and went to the obstetrics and gynecology department together.
Along the way, Lu Tingxiao protected Jiang Ruoxi tightly, keeping an eye on her surroundings from time to time, fearing that she would get bumped or bruised. Arriving at the obstetrics and gynecology department, Lu Tingxiao looked at the pregnant women coming and going, and his eyes were filled with curiosity and nervousness.
Finally, it was Jiang Ruoxi's turn to be examined. Lu Tingxiao followed closely behind, staring at the doctor's operation without blinking. The doctor gently stretched out his hand and motioned Jiang Ruoxi to place her wrist on the pulse pillow.
Jiang Ruoxi did as she was told. The doctor placed three fingers firmly on her pulse. He looked focused, closed his eyes slightly, and began to feel her pulse carefully. There was silence in the room. Lu Tingxiao held his breath and stared closely at every change in the doctor's expression.
After a while, the doctor slowly opened his eyes, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Lu Tingxiao and said, "Congratulations, you have been pregnant for more than two months, but you are a little weak in Qi and blood, so you need to take good care of yourself."
"Doctor, can I ask you how to replenish Qi and blood deficiency? And what should pregnant women pay attention to during pregnancy? Can you explain it to me in detail? We are first-time parents and have no experience!" Lu Tingxiao asked nervously, and took out a pen and paper to write down the doctor's words.
The doctor nodded, very satisfied with Lu Tingxiao's caring attitude towards his wife: "Pregnant women should increase their intake of protein-rich foods such as eggs and tofu to meet the nutritional needs of themselves and the fetus. They should also pay attention to rest, keep warm and keep clean, change clothes frequently, and it is best to come to the hospital for regular checkups and pay attention to changes in the pregnant woman and the fetus at any time!"
"Doctor, we will do it!" After saying goodbye to the doctor, the two returned to the ward.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door of the ward, and the nurse came in with Lu Tingxiao's medical report, with a smile on her face: "Congratulations, both of you. Captain Lu's medical examination indicators are basically normal. In a few days, Captain Lu will be able to be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate!" Lu Tingxiao and Jiang Ruoxi smiled at each other, their joy was beyond words. They knew that from this moment on, their lives would begin a new and wonderful journey.
