Zhang Fengxia froze on the spot and slumped into a chair.
"Didn't your family notice anything wrong? The third month of pregnancy is when the fetus's organs are forming. Just sign the papers. It's not a major surgery, and it's not good to leave a stillborn fetus in your womb," the nurse advised.
Zhang Fengxia felt her hands go numb as she took the pen and wrote her name on it. She couldn't imagine how Jiang Xiaoyan would face all of this after coming out of the operating room.
For a woman like Jiang Xiaoyan, this blow would be absolutely devastating, and it's not impossible that it could even drive her insane.
Why is your life so miserable?
Zhang Fengxia took a deep breath. She felt that Lu Feng couldn't know about this. The thing Jiang Xiaoyan had talked about most was how Lu Feng's parents had been taking care of her since she became pregnant.
She said that what was in her belly was not a child, but her own destiny. Since ancient times, a mother's status has depended on her son, and it is still the same now. In the village, women from families with two sons walk with a proud and stern air.
After she became pregnant, all the gloom in her world vanished, but now, her world has collapsed!
Zhang Fengxia stood up somewhat flusteredly, found the phone, and first called Aunt Liu, telling her that she must not tell Lu Feng that the two of them had gone to the hospital, but to say that they had gone out to play.
"You must keep your mouth shut, understand?" Zhang Fengxia instructed him several times.
The person on the other end of the phone readily agreed.
The induced labor was quick; she was wheeled to the ward in less than an hour. The attending physician told Zhang Fengxia, "There's nothing wrong. Just make sure she gets enough nourishment. She's quite weak right now, but she can be discharged tomorrow."
"Doctor, I want to ask, is it possible for her to get pregnant again?" Zhang Fengxia asked anxiously.
The doctor sighed and said, "When she came for her previous check-up, I could tell that she valued this child very much, so I had her take medication to prevent miscarriage. I didn't expect it to end like this. Her body has been conditioned by traditional Chinese medicine and has already reached its maximum potential. Fortunately, she is young and still has a chance. My advice is not to get pregnant for the next two or three years to allow her body to recover. After that, it depends on fate. Maybe she will have a child."
"Thank you, you've worked hard." Zhang Fengxia's expression was somewhat unpleasant.
Zhang Fengxia walked to the bedside and saw that her face was pale and tears were streaming from the corners of her eyes like streams. Jiang Xiaoyan opened her eyes, and her eyes seemed to have lost their color, making it unbearable to look at.
"When...when did you wake up?" Zhang Fengxia's voice trembled slightly.
"I didn't pass out, I've been awake the whole time." Jiang Xiaoyan's voice choked with emotion as she took a deep breath and said, "I can't get pregnant, right?"
"We were just chatting. If you can get pregnant, just take good care of yourself. You're not that old. Having a baby is as easy as a hen laying an egg," Zhang Fengxia said with a forced smile.
"I'm fine, don't worry. I just feel a little weak right now." Jiang Xiaoyan seemed very calm, but a little dazed, and asked, "Did you tell him?"
“I called Aunt Liu and told her to keep it a secret for now,” Zhang Fengxia comforted her. “Just focus on getting better. Besides, Lu Feng loves you so much, he should feel sorry for you.”
"Yes! He loves me so much! But I can't even have a child," Jiang Xiaoyan murmured to herself.
“Being together isn’t just about having children. There are many DINK (Double Income No Kids) families abroad who don’t have children and live a very carefree life.” Zhang Fengxia comforted her, “Don’t be too sad, everything will be alright.”
"I'm fine. He said I've changed a lot lately, I've become more confident. I'm Jiang Xiaoyan, now a boss, I've seen a lot. I know a lot about foreign countries, and I'm not some silly girl from the village. I'm really fine." Jiang Xiaoyan took a deep breath and said, "You have to go to work tomorrow, don't stay with me, go back and rest."
"I'll take tomorrow off and stay here with you."
"It's really okay, there are nurses here. This hospital is great, the nurses are always available."
Zhang Fengxia was worried and insisted on staying. The night was getting dark. On the bed next to hers, Zhang Fengxia yawned. The clock on the wall showed that it was already 9:40.
She closed her eyes drowsily, but suddenly her nerves were jolted awake. The first thing she looked at was the bed next to her, but there was no one there. She turned her head and saw Jiang Xiaoyan already leaning against the window.
"What are you doing???"
With a scream, Zhang Fengxia scrambled to the window, grabbed her clothes, ripped her off, and yelled, "Are you crazy?"
"Let me die!!!"
Jiang Xiaoyan could no longer hold back and sat on the ground, wailing like a child.
