I came here without first looking for Lu Yi Heng because I wanted to confirm whether what happened last time was real.
If it was just a show for me, then Guan Mingyue definitely wouldn't have shared so much about the subsequent developments. Besides not telling me that Xiao Minxing had been transferred to the hospital, she reiterated the seriousness of his condition.
I lowered my head, regretting my verbal attacks on both Lu Yi Heng and Xiao Minxing that night.
I should have realized that he fainted and came out of the emergency room looking normal, so undergoing psychological counseling shouldn't have affected him much.
At that time, however, many factors clouded my judgment.
Seeing that I wasn't speaking, Guan Mingyue stood up to pour me a glass of water and casually asked, "How is the child?"
I looked up at her.
But she had already returned to her seat, her expression calm, as if her question was merely a doctor's concern.
"He's doing well, thank you."
Guan Mingyue nodded as if it didn't matter much and said gently, "Xiao Zong should be fine; you don't need to worry. You should pay more attention to your own health. I noticed you don't look well. Have you seen a doctor?"
"I have. It's just a bit of anemia. I've been following dietary recommendations," I replied.
Guan Mingyue looked about my age, and I didn't know much about her situation. However, as a doctor, I felt she understood more than I did in this regard. So when she asked, I wasn't surprised at all; instead, I appreciated her concern and found myself talking more freely.
She seemed quite interested in the child as well. Her gaze softened as she glanced at my belly and asked, "How many months along are you now?"
"Just over three months, but I don't feel much different," I placed my hand on my abdomen.
It was still flat; there was no sign of the small life inside me. Even when walking or sleeping, I felt nothing unusual. The only difference was that my appetite seemed to have changed, and I was clearly eating more than before.
These details that nurture life feel quite wonderful, and just thinking about them usually lifts my spirits. At this moment, when I talk to Guan Mingyue about it, I can't help but feel a bit of joy.
She smiles and nods, saying, "You're still early in your pregnancy, so this situation is normal. However, you need to keep up with your nutrition. If you start experiencing anemia this early on, it will be more troublesome later."
I nod in agreement and sincerely thank her, saying, "The doctor mentioned that too, but besides these things, I don't know what else I can do. I have no experience."
Guan Mingyue laughs this time: "Every woman goes through a process to become a mother. You don't need to worry too much. You can read some books or consult with a gynecologist. Also, you can talk to the child's father about this matter; after all, the health of both you and the child is very important to him."
Hearing the words "the child's father" makes my heart sink. I remember Xiao Minxing's transfer to another hospital and quietly ask her, "Do you really not know where he was transferred? When did he leave? How is he doing now?"
She shakes her head and says, "He was transferred after his last treatment here. As for how he is now, I don't know. But you can ask Dr. Lu; they are friends and should have some information."
I come down from the tenth floor, intending to find Lu Yi Heng, but there is no one in his office. After asking other doctors, I learn that he is on leave.
It seems that Xiao Minxing's condition is indeed serious, and he doesn't want his family to know. Only Lu Yi Heng is there to take care of him, along with Lu Yishan.
We are already divorced now; his ex-girlfriend no longer has to worry about anything and can be by his side without hesitation. In fact, it seems she never cared about it at all.
From initial suspicion to worry and finally to despair.
He and I are now on two separate paths; we have no marital relationship and no reason to interact. Even if I am concerned about him in my heart, it can only remain in my heart.
I didn't even mention this outcome to Mina; there's nothing I can do. It might be better not to ask anything or seek information from others—pretending not to know might be the best option.
What surprises me is that in the afternoon of that day, Su Qian unexpectedly called me.
Since my divorce from Xiao Minxing, aside from Mina, I've had very few opportunities to meet outsiders. Moreover, Su Qian was someone I wanted to avoid, so I've tried to minimize our encounters.
He is quite perceptive; since we met, he has never forced me into anything. So when I intentionally reduced contact with him, he generally wouldn't reach out either. Sometimes when he really needed something, he would have Mina relay the message.
Even Mina said: "I really can't understand this guy. He clearly seemed interested in you before, but now it seems like I was just overthinking it back then."
I looked at her with annoyance and said, "You were just overthinking it. He might have just wanted to help me out of kindness. It's you who misinterpreted his intentions, and it almost led me to make a mistake. Thankfully, Xiao Minxing didn't insist at that time."
Mina curiously leaned over and asked me, "If Xiao Zong had insisted on not getting a divorce at that time, were you really planning to acknowledge this child as Su Qian's and then marry him?"
I shook my head and said, "I never thought about marrying him. He is a very good friend, but precisely because of that, I can't hurt him. You all know better than I do about his family background; someone like him is not someone I can marry, and I wouldn't dare entertain such thoughts."
Now that Su Qian took the initiative to contact me, I felt less nervous than at the beginning. Perhaps it was because there was news about work yesterday?
Thinking of this, I naturally answered the phone.
Su Qian's gentle tone seemed like it would never change; it always felt comforting to hear.
He didn't bother with formalities and casually asked, "Have you thought about yesterday's matter?"
I honestly told him that the deeper I looked into it, the more uncertain I felt inside, so I thought it would be better to wait a while longer before deciding.
Su Qian didn't rush me; he softly said, "Actually, I think you don't need to be too anxious. You're still pregnant, and to be honest, if this matter gets settled, you'll be quite busy in the early stages. You might not be able to handle it all. It would be better to take this time to observe others and focus on creating some works that reflect your own style. That way, after the child is born, you can fully dedicate yourself to doing what you love."
"That sounds good. I might just be a bit impatient. Whenever I think about how I'm just consuming without producing anything now, I feel insecure." It seemed like I was particularly honest when facing Su Qian; I even shared my thoughts clearly with him.
He was also sincere and candidly said, "When I heard about your situation yesterday, I considered this issue as well. But for now, the child is the most important thing. So after thinking about it all night, I called you again today."
