Chapter 503
“Shishi, why don’t you take a rest first? If you don’t want to talk, I won’t ask further, but if you wish to talk, I’ll be your most faithful listener . ”
She buried her face deep into her palms . The acrimonious and hysterical accusations receded slowly like the tide under his constant reassurances .
She slowly lifted her head and peeped at Qin Zhou from the quilt . Her vision gradually gained focus and clarity as her heart settled .
“Why don’t you take a nap first?” He smiled in relief when she finally opened her eyes to look at him .
She nodded without a word .
Smoothing the comforter over her, he got up to leave the room and closed the door behind him .
Her eyes blinked and stared blankly at the ceiling until she fell into a slumber .
…
At the hospital .
Mu Wanrou lay unconscious in the bed inside the treatment room .
Aaron sat before an office table as he anxiously checked the doctor’s expression in hopes of knowing what had happened to her . “How is the situation with her?”
The doctor pushed the spectacle rim sitting on his nose bridge, threw a glance at him calmly, and then continued to scribble on the clinical sheet .
He could bear it no longer and queried again, “Doctor, what is wrong with her?”
“How are you related to her?” the doctor asked, expressionless .
The man was visibly shaken before he replied with shame, “We are just friends . ”
“Friend? I see that you are close to her; you don’t behave like friends . ” The doctor looked at him skeptically .
Embarrassed, he asked back, “Does it matter?”
“Of course, it does! If you are her husband or boyfriend, I can congratulate you, but since you are just her friend, I suggest that you call her family to come over to the hospital . ” With that, the doctor bowed his head to continue scribbling on the medical card .
Aaron did not get what he meant, but instinctively detecting a subtle message behind his words, he prompted further, “What illness is she suffering from?”
The doctor frowned . “Do you know her husband? Call him over . We need to run a few tests to check if she’s pregnant . ”
Pregnant?!
His eyes widened in shock and disbelief . Aaron could not believe what he had just heard . Thinking that this was a joke and doubting the doctor’s competency, he asked him for assurance . “Excuse me, doctor, please let me clarify; are you positive that she’s pregnant?”
“We need to run more tests to confirm her pregnancy . Why?” The doctor sneered before asking a follow-up question . “Mister, do you think such an important matter should be joked about?”
“It’s not, but…” the man hesitantly shared, “she’s diagnosed as infertile before . Her family looked everywhere for medical help, but all said her infertility can’t be reversed…”
“How can that be?! That lady has no medical history . What proof did the doctors have to back up their diagnosis?” The doctor found it to be ridiculous . “Anyway, if you don’t believe me, you can have her hCG level measured . The result for that is released fast . There’s really no point in arguing with me over this . ”
He frowned, unsure of what to do . While he very much wanted her to do that test, he knew she could not do so .
