Gan Lie ran to the bathroom door, put his hand on the door handle, hesitated for a second, and just as he was about to open the door, he found that it was locked.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Yu Rou responded from the bathroom, her voice extremely panicked, "My stomach hurts."
Gan Lie frowned, his breathing stagnated, and he said in a deep voice, "Open the door."
Yu Rou: "No, wait a minute, I'm not wearing any clothes."
Gan Lie's brows were furrowed, his hands were clenched into fists, and his expression was so cold that it was frightening.
But Yu Rou opened the door soon. There were still shampoo bubbles on her hair and her body was wet. She had a bath towel wrapped around her chest and a bathrobe over the towel, barely covering her body.
Gan Lie: "What's going on? Why does your stomach hurt?"
"It's just a sudden dull pain." Yu Rou couldn't explain it clearly, she had no experience.
Gan Lie: "Let's go to the hospital now."
"Are we going now?" Yu Rou looked at herself. She was also worried. Although the pain was gone, she was still panicking. "Then wait a moment. I'll rinse my hair and it will be done in no time."
Seeing her like this, Gan Lie sighed, "Don't move around, I'll help you."
Yu Rou was stunned.
"Come here and stand here." Gan Lie picked up the shower head, adjusted the water temperature, and then looked at Yu Rou, "Lower your head."
Yu Rou hesitated for a moment, but still did as he said. Warm water flowed on her head. Yu Rou heard the sound of dripping water. The bathroom was very quiet. Gan Lie didn't say anything, but his other hand was gently combing her hair.
"Are you okay?" Yu Rou asked in a low voice.
"Yeah." Gan Lie turned off the shower and handed her a towel.
Yu Rou quickly wrung out her hair and wrapped it up. When she looked up, Gan Lie was looking at her intently. There seemed to be a fiery light in his originally cold eyes.
Yu Rou: "I'm going to change my clothes, wait for me."
Gan Lie looked away and hummed lightly.
Yu Rou walked past him, and her bathrobe brushed against his shirt.
Gan Lie moved aside, but felt an electric current running through his spine and his arms felt a little numb.
The two quickly put on their clothes, and Gan Lie drove Yu Rou to the hospital.
After making an appointment at the emergency room and telling the doctor about the situation, the doctor asked Yu Rou to pay the fee and have an ultrasound examination.
There were not many people around at night, so the examination was completed quickly. Yu Rou took the B-ultrasound report and looked through it first. There seemed to be no problem. It said "normal" or something like that, so Yu Rou felt a little relieved.
Gan Lie saw her staring at the checklist and asked, "How is it?"
Yu Rou frowned: "It seems to be okay."
Gan Lie pondered and said, "Let's go find a doctor first."
Yu Rou nodded, "Yeah."
Arriving at the emergency room, the doctor looked over the test results and said with a smile, "Nothing is wrong."
"Then why does my stomach hurt?" Yu Rou asked.
Doctor: "In the early stages of pregnancy, the uterus of pregnant women gradually grows, and the pressure on the surrounding internal organs also increases. You usually feel bloating or mild pain. In addition, the growth of the uterus will squeeze the intestines and bladder. At this time, you may also have slight pain in your lower abdomen."
Gan Lie: "So this is normal?"
Doctor: "Yes, the pain will naturally subside once your body gets used to it. Don't worry, just rest and go to the hospital for regular prenatal checkups when the time comes."
Yu Rou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, doctor."
Gan Lie thought for a moment and asked, "Then what is abnormal?"
The doctor continued, "What I just described are physiological abdominal pains during pregnancy, which are all normal. Pathological pains are abnormal. For example, if you experience unbearable pain or bleeding, there is a risk of miscarriage. If you have swelling and pain on one side of the uterus, it may be ovarian swelling or an ectopic pregnancy. These are more serious conditions."
Gan Lie had a serious expression, as if he was carefully taking note of the doctor's words.
Seeing Gan Lie's cautious attitude, the doctor didn't mind adding a few more words. "The main thing is to provide pregnant women with a stable, relaxed, and happy environment. This will help the growth of the fetus. Pregnant women should also pay attention to their diet."
He paused, then continued, "Also, since you're less than three months pregnant, it's best not to have sex. You two should sleep separately."
Gan Lie said, "I understand."
Yu Rou glanced at Gan Lie and said nothing.
The two of them suddenly felt a little awkward. After they left the clinic, no one spoke. Until they got in the car, Gan Lie suddenly asked Yu Rou, "When are you coming for your prenatal checkup?"
Yu Rou was already sleepy. She leaned back in the chair, feeling sleepy. "Tomorrow."
After a while, Gan Lie said, "I'll come with you."
"No need." Yu Rou opened her eyes and looked at him doubtfully, "Aren't you going to work?"
Gan Lie: "You can go to the hospital first."
Yu Rou thought about what she had agreed with Shen Min, so she refused, "I have an appointment with someone else."
Gan Lie frowned, started the car and said nothing more.
Yu Rou looked at his profile with a confused expression. She was so sleepy that she fell asleep quickly.
After a while, Gan Lie turned around and saw the quiet Yu Rou, and his heart seemed to be touched by a pair of gentle hands.
His expression was forbearing as he continued to indulge in his memories.
After the divorce, he came back only after Ye's mother called him and said that he did it for the children. He did not deny it, but he knew in his heart that he might have fallen into an abyss again. No matter how much he gave, he would not get any response. He was the only one struggling at the bottom of the cliff, holding on to the hope that Yu Rou might reach out to him and pull him out.
He wanted to be indifferent to her, but he couldn't control his care for her. Over the years, he seemed unable to really ignore her.
