Hospital.
Lin Zhiyi thought Liu He’s outfit was too eye-catching, so she asked her to wait in the car.
She herself carried the medicine and went to the Chinese medicine clinic.
She specifically looked for a female doctor and mentioned that someone in her family was preparing for pregnancy and had sought out a Chinese medicine doctor for a prescription, inquiring whether it was safe to consume.
The female doctor was very patient: "Is it another case of an elder hearing from some traditional Chinese medicine doctor again?"
"Yes," Lin Zhiyi nodded.
"Chinese medicine should still be obtained from reputable places." The female doctor took a look at the prescription, her eyes lit up, "However, this prescription is good, and it also has the signature of a Chinese medicine pharmacy, so there shouldn’t be any problems."
Still uneasy, Lin Zhiyi directly took out a packet of medicine for the female doctor to see.
"Could you please check if there is any problem with these herbs?"
The female doctor chuckled: "You’re quite cautious. Anyone capable of writing this prescription must be very experienced and wouldn’t make any..."
She was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly stopped, separating out some inconspicuous bits and pieces from a large pack of herbs.
"This isn’t on the prescription, and this herb counteracts another, making it colder the more you ingest it. This shouldn’t be. Was there a mistake in grabbing the herbs?"
Lin Zhiyi stared at those bits and pieces; had the doctor not separated them, she would have thought they were similar to the usual detritus fallen off other Chinese herbs.
Lin Zhiyi didn’t dare to show too much and pretended to be surprised: "Then I’ll go and ask about it, thank you, doctor."
"It’s not a problem, it’s good that you asked. Otherwise, it would only worsen the deficit in someone already weakened by consuming it."
Lin Zhiyi’s hand trembled, almost spilling the medicine.
If Liu He really took it, she feared not only would she not get pregnant, but her health would also collapse.
This was too cruel.
She quickly left with her belongings.
Because of her panic, she accidentally bumped into a woman nearby.
The woman let out a low cry, immediately safeguarding her belly: "How are you walking? I’m pregnant."
No sooner had she finished speaking than the man carrying a bag ran over anxiously to support her.
"Wife, are you okay?"
"I’m fine, just got a little shock," the woman touched her belly.
Just as the man was about to get angry, Lin Zhiyi promptly bowed her head and apologized.
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it was my carelessness. How about I accompany you to get a checkup?"
The woman, seeing that she had apologized, didn’t want to make a fuss and, holding her husband’s hand, said: "Husband, let it go, I’m hungry, let’s get something to eat."
"Alright."
The man tenderly supported the woman’s waist, and the two left chatting and laughing.
Watching the couple, Lin Zhiyi felt an inexplicable twinge in her lower abdomen.
She touched her own belly and then forced herself to lower her hand.
She must not get pregnant!
Thinking this, Lin Zhiyi turned the corner toward the route the woman had come from.
After explaining the situation to the doctor, she was directly arranged to have a blood test.
The blood test was quick, but every second waiting felt excruciatingly long.
Her barcode was scanned three times on the machine before the results were finally produced.
Lin Zhiyi looked at the numbers on the paper, her heart rising to her throat.
She... was pregnant.
It must be a mistake!
Even though she knew it was impossible for both doctors to be wrong, that was the only consolation she could offer herself.
Lin Zhiyi walked into the doctor’s office in a daze.
The doctor glanced at the results: "You’re pregnant, the values look good."
"I, I took birth control pills," she said.
"Birth control isn’t foolproof, we have cases here of women with IUDs who still get pregnant," explained the doctor.
Seeing Lin Zhiyi’s reactionless state, the doctor frowned: "Don’t want it? Shall I help you schedule an abortion?"
On hearing the word ’abortion,’ Lin Zhiyi’s chest tightened, and she instinctively snatched back the report and fled.
It wasn’t until she breathed the fresh air outside that she felt her thoughts slowly returning.
Thinking about it now, the only person who could’ve carried them back to the room was Gong Chen. freёwebnovel.com
She could never be.
But now this child...
Not far away, the little girl jumped up happily: "Mommy, you’re the best mommy in the world! Let’s go, it’s ice cream cone time!"
Lin Zhiyi’s hand rested on her stomach, and she couldn’t help but smile.
"Lin Zhiyi."
The sudden voice startled Lin Zhiyi, the bag she was carrying fell to the ground, and packets of medicine scattered.
She looked at the approaching Li Huan, frantically picking up the medicine packets from the ground.
Li Huan apologetically squatted down: "What were you looking at? You were so engrossed."
"It’s nothing." Lin Zhiyi spoke hastily, reaching for the last packet of medicine, which was snatched up by Li Huan first.
"Chinese medicine? What’s wrong with you?"
"I... just regulating my body," Lin Zhiyi was worried about revealing too much in front of Li Huan, who was a doctor, grabbed the medicines back to tidy up, changing the subject, "My mom is still waiting for me, I need to go."
She hurried away, not giving Li Huan any time to respond.
By the time Li Huan turned around, Lin Zhiyi was nowhere to be seen.
He sighed and headed towards the inpatient department, accidentally stepping on a piece of paper.
Looking down, it was actually a prescription for Chinese medicine, recalling the Chinese medicine in Lin Zhiyi’s hands, he became curious about what it was for.
Conveniently, he had a friend who was a Chinese medicine doctor, so he took a photo and sent it over.
Not even two minutes passed before he got a reply.
’Li Huan, are you getting married?’
’I don’t even have a girlfriend. Who would I marry?’ Li Huan sent an emoji of a single dog.
’No girlfriend? Then why are you showing me a prescription for preparing for pregnancy and aiding conception?’
’Preparing for pregnancy! It’s over!’
Li Huan ignored the rest of his friend’s messages and ran straight to the VIP ward.
Pushing open the door, he announced loudly.
"Lin Zhiyi is going to have a baby with Sang Li!"
