Su Qian's hand paused for a moment, but quickly returned to normal as he nodded while changing my towel.
When dawn approached, I fell asleep again, unsure if it was due to the medication or sheer exhaustion. When I woke up, I was the only one left in the hospital room.
Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating a particular spot in front of the window so brightly that it was blinding.
I squinted for a long time to adjust to the light and then propped myself up on my arms to try to sit up.
My lips were still very dry, and my throat felt like it had been sliced by a knife, making me desperately want a drink of water.
As I struggled to get my feet on the ground, Su Qian pushed the door open and came in. He hurriedly helped me back into bed, then bent down to pick up a water bottle from the floor and poured a glass. After checking the temperature with his hand, he handed it to me and said, "It's a bit hot; take your time."
I tried to take a sip, but my tongue felt numb, so I had to put it back on the table.
He sat there without moving and asked how I felt.
Honestly, I felt terrible, but I couldn't stay here. If I didn't go home for a day, I wouldn't know how Xiao Minxing was doing. If he found out about my pregnancy at the hospital, it would be impossible to keep it a secret. So I needed to leave as soon as possible.
When Su Qian heard that I wanted to be discharged, his expression turned anxious. "Your condition is a bit serious; your fever was too high, and you didn't take any special antipyretics. Plus, you're not alone right now, so the doctor wants you to stay in the hospital for a week."
"There's no need to be so delicate. I know what's going on; it's just heatiness combined with catching a cold. If I drink more boiled water when I get home, I'll be fine. Please help me arrange for my discharge as soon as possible."
A week could turn my life upside down; I couldn't take that risk.
Before Su Qian could respond, the door to the room was pushed open, and the doctor came in with a nurse for rounds.
After checking my condition, they said that while the fever had subsided, it might recur. They recommended staying in the hospital for observation and advised against using stimulating or functional medications. They also mentioned that I needed to undergo gynecological examinations during the day to confirm the status of the fetus.
The doctor turned back and instructed Su Qian, "You need to take good care of her. Women who are newly pregnant can be greatly affected emotionally, which can trigger some physical responses. So as her husband, you need to be understanding."
Su Qian nodded continuously, acting like a real husband as he responded to the doctor until they left. Then he returned and shrugged at me, saying, "See? You don't listen to me but have to listen to the doctor."
I had no other choice; the doctor was right. I might be okay, but it was hard to determine how the fetus was doing right now. My life seemed very regular on the surface, but in reality, I had taken too much medication before and had been overly stressed. With this recent ordeal, I had no idea how things were with him or her.
In the morning, I went to the gynecology department accompanied by Su Qian for a series of examinations. It was ultimately confirmed that the fetus is currently fine and is about forty days old.
I placed my hand on my belly for a long time; in fact, I couldn't feel its presence at all, but my heart was full.
I never expected it to come again, but its arrival brought me immense joy, especially now, as I decided to truly end things with Xiao Minxing. If we are destined to be apart, then this child will surely become my support for the second half of my life.
Sitting on the long bench outside the gynecology department, I watched those women with big bellies accompanied by their husbands for prenatal check-ups and couldn't help but recall how Xiao Minxing had brought me here several times before because he wanted a child.
Sometimes he was really strange—his personality was extreme and radical. When he didn't want something, he would completely dismiss it without any room for negotiation, yet when he wanted it, he seemed to need it desperately.
Just like now, after the most tense period had passed, he no longer paid as much attention to my body as before; otherwise, the matter of me secretly taking contraceptive pills would have been discovered long ago.
Su Qian held the examination report and a large bag of early pregnancy supplements prescribed by the doctor. He placed it on the chair and sat down, saying, "Have you really made up your mind about this?"
I replied with an "mm," staring at the bag of medicine and asked him, "What is this? Didn't they say not to take medicine? Why is there so much?"
He handed me the list and said, "The doctor said that although the fetus is fine now, you haven't been taking special care in early pregnancy, so you're currently malnourished. Look at this blood test report; you're anemic and lacking many trace elements. Therefore, you must use nutritional supplements at this time; otherwise, problems will arise later."
His voice was soft but serious as he pointed out each item on the list and explained what each box in the bag could replenish.
I looked at the list while catching glimpses of his face.
It seemed that overnight we had grown much closer; from an outsider's perspective, we probably looked like a couple.
If only Xiao Minxing were like him—patiently accompanying me through everything instead of calling me foolish, whispering sweet nothings to me, understanding my sadness and sorrow—wouldn't we get along better?
Thinking of him made my nose tingle and my eyes feel hot.
I hurriedly turned my head away but saw Xiao Minxing standing straight at the hospital staircase.
His hair was a mess, his face pale without a hint of color, and his lips were purple-red from biting them. His hands were tightly clenched into fists that seemed heavy as if they weighed a thousand pounds.
Lu Yiheng stood beside him, also looking at us.
Su Qian quickly followed my gaze and looked over in their direction.
His expression froze for a moment, but soon he regained his composure and softly said, "It seems we can't hide it anymore."
At this point, I became calm instead. To keep this child and seek his help, I could only tell him about my situation with Xiao Minxing.
"I will soon be divorcing him; I just need to say the child isn't his."
Su Qian glanced at me quickly, his eyes filled with complexity, as if questioning me yet also confused.
I didn't have time to explain because at that moment, Xiao Minxing was already walking towards us.
His steps were slow, as if each footfall took great effort, taking a long time to lift before taking another step. However, his gaze remained unchanged, coldly fixated on me like a killer on a television show.
His face was still pale, and his jaw muscles were tightly clenched. His Adam's apple occasionally bobbed up and down, making him appear even more intimidating.
I instinctively shrank back, and at that moment, Su Qian stood up and positioned himself in front of me.
Lu Yiheng followed behind him but was more focused on Xiao Minxing, easily noticing the worry in his eyes.
I had also stood up from my chair and flipped the bag of medicine onto the floor.
