Lu Ze seemed unaware of his presence.
Yu Yao peeked out from behind Dr. Cai and greeted him sweetly, "Lu Ze, I'm here, I'm fine."
Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Ze looked in the direction of the sound in disbelief and was stunned to see his lover sitting peacefully on the edge of the hospital bed.
Therefore, the pregnant woman who fell down, as Song Yiming mentioned, was not A Yao.
After Lu Ze realized what was happening, the weight that had been hanging over his heart finally lifted. He suppressed the urge to pull his lover into his arms, walked to Yu Yao's side, and put his arm around her shoulder.
His voice was hoarse but tinged with relief, "It's good that you're alright."
When Dr. Cai saw Lu Ze arrive, she couldn't help but remind him, "Commander Lu, your wife is due to give birth in a little over a month, so you must be extra careful during this time. You can get her more goose eggs to eat, as they can help clear fetal toxins."
Pay attention to balancing work and rest, and avoid overworking yourself.
Additionally, you can buy more deep-sea fish at the dock; the nutrients in them are very beneficial for the fetus's intellectual and visual development. Don't eat too much chicken soup; oily foods can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort, so consume it in moderation.
Lu Ze took out a small notebook from the cadre's pocket and wrote down everything Dr. Cai said, down to the smallest detail.
"Dr. Cai, is there anything else I should be aware of?" Yu Yao asked.
Dr. Cai coughed lightly, "And one last and most important point, something we've all talked about before, is that she's in her late pregnancy now, and her body is more sensitive to external stimuli, so sexual intercourse should be avoided."
With Sister Dan still by her side, Yu Yao felt a little embarrassed. "Dr. Cai, I understand."
Perhaps due to her pregnancy, Yu Yao's skin appeared even more fair and rosy. Now, with a touch of shyness, her cheeks seemed to be tinged with a layer of fine rouge, glowing beautifully.
Seeing her like this, Dr. Cai became even more worried. He took her small hand and pointed meaningfully at Lu Ze.
"Women are delicate during pregnancy, so they must take good care of themselves. Don't listen to men's sweet words. No matter how hard he endures, you can't be soft-hearted. If you don't harden your heart, you and your child will suffer in the end."
"Dr. Cai, I've noted it all down. I won't joke around with my health."
Dr. Cai hummed in agreement, her eyes fixed on Lu Ze. "Where is Commander Lu?"
Commander Lu quickly assured her, "Dr. Cai, rest assured, I will take good care of Ayao and will not let her be in danger."
“That’s more like it,” Dr. Cai nodded in satisfaction and instructed Lu Ze, “I’ll give you a prescription. These medicines are all good for your health. Take them back and decoct them for Comrade Yu. She was a little frightened today, so you need to be careful.”
Lu Ze's expression hardened. "Thank you, Dr. Cai. I will definitely keep that in mind."
Seeing Lu Ze go to get medicine, Zhu Xiudan said to Yu Yao, "I'm relieved to have Commander Lu taking care of you. I'm going to the operating room to see how Qin Lamei is doing."
Yu Yao nodded, "Thank you for your help this time, Sister Dan. You can go ahead and get back to work."
After she and Dr. Cai left, only Yu Yao and Lu Ze remained in the ward.
Lu Ze finally had a chance to hug Yu Yao. "Song Yiming said that a pregnant woman in the side business group fell down the stairs. I thought, I thought..."
His body trembled slightly.
God knows how scared Lu Ze was on his way to the hospital after hearing Song Yiming's words.
He was afraid something would happen to his lover, afraid that she and the children would abandon him.
For the first time, someone who is fearless and invincible felt weak in the knees and couldn't help but tremble and choke up.
Yu Yao knew he was frightened, so she reached out and hugged his back, patting him gently to comfort him, "It's okay, it's okay, the baby and I are fine. It wasn't me who fell, it was Qin Lamei."
Lu Ze frowned. "What exactly happened? Why is everyone outside saying you fell down?"
"The stairwell corner where Qin Lamei fell is the only way to the temporary office of the side business group. Apart from the people in the side business group, no one else goes there on weekdays. I think someone has misunderstood."
“That corner was dimly lit, and I’m always very careful when I walk there. If I hadn’t gone to see Sister Dan, I might have been the one who slipped on the food and oil. Qin Lamei fell right during my usual work hours.”
Yu Yao was still a little scared as she spoke, and only felt better when she leaned against Lu Ze's chest and listened to his familiar heartbeat.
Lu put his arm around her and gently patted her back.
"Don't overthink this. I'll have someone investigate. If someone is really doing this on purpose, the person behind it will definitely be brought to court and pay the price for their actions."
Lu Ze's eyes were unusually cold.
Yu Yao nodded in relief and lifted her head from his chest. "I'm fine now. Go get your medicine so we can go home."
"I want to tell Sister Dan that I'm not going to the side business group anymore. The sales of dried mackerel are already on track, so I could have stopped going anyway. Now that this has happened, I'd better go home as soon as possible."
Lu Ze agreed, "Don't worry about Sister Dan, I'll talk to her. Wait here for me, I'll go get the medicine, and then we'll go home."
"Um."
When Yu Yao and Lu Ze returned home, Hu Lingyu and Wu Wanying heard about the incident from others. The two mothers were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they refused to let Yu Yao go to work at the side job group anymore.
Hearing that Yu Yao wasn't going, the two of them let her go and hurriedly went to the kitchen, saying they wanted to make her some pork rib porridge to calm her nerves.
Lu Ze quickly sent people to investigate the fall, and the matter was roughly the same as what Sister Xiao and Wang Xiu had told him before.
While going up the stairs, Wang Xiu accidentally knocked over Sister Xiao's lunchbox, causing the greasy food to spill all over the floor. Qin Lamei happened to come over to deliver something to Wang Xiu, but she slipped and fell down the stairs.
