Chapter 11 : Pregnant?

Everyone else in the restaurant looked at the couple curiously.

“What’s the fuss? Such good food is still being despised?”

Someone looked at the three dishes and one soup on their table and couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Hey! What do you know, you rough old man? I think that woman is probably pregnant.”

An experienced person curled his lips and said.

Some people can eat and drink a lot when they’re pregnant, but some people can’t stand the smell of fish when they are pregnant.

Shen He, who has good hearing, caught this sentence, but he didn’t know whether he was worried about his wife or was just a straight man. He didn’t react at all to what “pregnant” meant.

“What’s the matter? I’ll take you to the health center to have a look.”

Looking at Su Ranran squatting on the ground with a pale face, wanting to vomit but unable to, Shen He was anxious and distressed.

Su Ranran had already eased the discomfort by this time. She shook her head and said, “I’m fine. Maybe I’m just uncomfortable with the smell of fish. Let’s eat first. We still have to buy tickets later.”

Su Ranran still didn’t forget to buy tickets. The ticket seller had to finish work at noon, and they had just rushed over after eating.

But how could Shen He have the mood to eat at this time?

“Let’s go to the clinic first.”

Seeing her pale face, Shen He wanted to take her to the hospital immediately.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time.

In the end, Su Ranran couldn’t escape from him and had to agree to go to the clinic first. But before leaving, she asked him to pack the dishes.

After all, meat is a scarce commodity these days. If she doesn’t eat it, he can still enjoy it.

It was exactly eleven o’clock when the two arrived at the clinic, and the clinic closed at half past eleven.

The clinic was small, and there was no special gynecology department, so they went directly into a regular consultation room. There was only one doctor in the clinic, and she was a little surprised when she saw Su Ranran.

“Where do you feel uncomfortable?”

The doctor asked Su Ranran, but she looked at Shen He with some suspicion.

“She vomited a lot just now.”

Shen He didn’t take her suspicious look to heart, as his whole mind was on Su Ranran.

Upon hearing this, Liu Haixia retracted her gaze and said to the overly thin patient,

“Put your hand here.”

Hearing this, Su Ranran didn’t make any extra movements and directly placed her hand on a small pillow.

She just wanted to get this doctor’s visit over with quickly, so she could rush to the station to buy a ticket. As soon as her hand was placed on the pillow, the doctor’s warm fingers touched her wrist.

Su Ranran looked at the doctor anxiously, hoping for a quick examination.

Liu Haixia took the pulse for a while, but a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. The pulse under her fingertips was clearly a slippery pulse. Although it wasn’t obvious, a slippery pulse is still easy to feel.

But this wasn’t the point.

The point was that this female comrade clearly looked malnourished, but her pulse was stronger than that of a big man.

Strange, too strange.

Liu Haixia had never encountered such a peculiar pulse before, and it took a little longer to examine.

But her frown made Shen He anxious!

“Doctor, how is she?”

Shen He looked at the hand on the pillow, which seemed so delicate that it could break with a slight pinch. He was already very distressed. Now, seeing the doctor’s worried expression, he became even more nervous.

Liu Haixia: …

“Nothing, you’re going to be a mother, your pulse is steady.”

This was the strangest thing she is so thin, yet her pulse is as strong as an ox.

As soon as these words came out, the whole clinic fell silent.

He knew every word the doctor said separately, but why couldn’t he understand it when they were put together?

And Su Ranran’s eyes widened, and even her words became a little jumbled.

“Doctor…you…you mean I’m pregnant?”

Liu Haixia had seen such reactions many times, so she didn’t find it strange.

“Yes, you are pregnant.”

Liu Haixia really couldn’t evaluate this female comrade’s body. You could say she’s healthy, but she’s so thin. You could say there’s a problem, but her pulse is so steady.

In over ten years of working, this was the first time she had encountered such a patient, and she couldn’t help but doubt herself.

At this moment, Shen He seemed to have just reacted to something.

The word “pregnancy” kept echoing in his mind, and his hands, which hung by his side, began shaking a little.

He’s going to be a father?

Ranran has his child in her belly?

Shen He looked at the woman beside him with an incredulous look. But when he saw her extremely thin body, all the excitement seemed to be drenched with a bucket of cold water.

“Doctor, how is her health?”

Shen He snapped back to reality and calmly asked if the fetus would affect the mother’s health.

It seemed like he only cared about his wife’s health and not the baby in her belly.

Liu Haixia was also puzzled by the couple. The husband looked strong, but his wife was so thin. If he was abusing her, why did he seem more nervous than anyone else? And the wife also looked dependent on him.

“Your wife’s pulse looks fine for now. If possible, go back and give her some supplements, and come back for a check-up later.”

Hearing this, Shen He was relieved.

He then asked about the usual precautions in detail. The doctor was patient and explained everything to him.

Only Su Ranran seemed lost in her thoughts, and no one knew what was going on in her mind.

When the two left the clinic, more than ten minutes had passed.

Su Ranran was still in shock and disbelief, gently stroking her belly.

In her previous life, she clearly had no children and lived her entire life alone.

How…?

Just as she was thinking about this, she suddenly remembered that not long after Shen He left, she had stomach pain and bleeding one day. So, it wasn’t menstruation, but a life that silently left without her knowing?

When Su Ranran thought about the life that had been in her stomach, and how she hadn’t even been aware of it, she felt she couldn’t accept it. That was the crystallization of him and her, but she didn’t even know it.

“Ranran, how are you? Are you uncomfortable?”

Seeing her eyes red, Shen He suddenly felt like he was facing a great threat.

At this moment, Su Ranran looked like a porcelain doll to him, as if she would break if touched too lightly.

Looking at his nervous face, Su Ranran could no longer control the bitterness in her eyes.

“I’m sorry!”

She couldn’t even protect his bloodline in her last life!

At that moment, her heart was filled with self-loathing. She felt she wasn’t a qualified wife or a qualified mother.

Seeing her apologetic and self-loathing expression, Shen He thought she was blaming herself for the hunger strike a few days ago, and he felt deeply distressed.

“Ranran, be good, don’t say sorry, it’s all my fault.”

He failed to take good care of her.

Hearing this, Su Ranran couldn’t hold back her tears anymore.

How could he be so good?

How could she ever repay him for being this way?
