After the doctor took his pulse, he scolded Su Shen, "How could you be such a husband? Your wife didn’t have an allergic reaction to seafood—she’s pregnant, about a month along. Pregnant women can’t eat raw, cold, or spicy food. And yet, you fed her shrimp. Now she’s showing signs of a miscarriage. She needs to stay for observation overnight."
The doctor handed Su Shen the diagnosis report, but he seemed stunned. "My wife is pregnant?" he asked, still processing the information.
The doctor chuckled, a hint of amusement in his voice. "You young people, you don’t pay attention to anything. You didn’t even notice that your wife is pregnant? Yes, she’s pregnant. You’re going to be parents. Now, go ahead and pay for the admission and get her settled."
Su Shen snapped back to reality, guilt flooding him as he looked at the woman in his arms. Without hesitation, he picked her up, the report in his hand, and made his way to the assigned room. After settling her down, he hurried off to handle the payment.
When he returned, he brought her a pot of hot water and some medicine, careful not to disrupt her fragile state.
She took the medicine, her body weak and her energy low. She looked at him, seeing him crouch down beside her. Gently, he placed his hand on her abdomen, so light, as though afraid to apply any pressure. His gaze was dazed, almost lost in the moment. "Gu Zi, are you mad at me? For getting you pregnant?"
Since the fake pregnancy incident, Su Shen had been extra cautious during their intimate moments, always taking precautions to avoid any accidents. It wasn’t that he didn’t want children—on the contrary, he deeply respected her wishes. She was still young, still uncertain if she ever wanted to become a mother, and he respected that. To him, she was the most important person.
So, he always made sure to use protection. But now, reflecting on it, he realized that during the last time, he had let his guard down. He hadn’t been as careful as usual. And now, here they were—she was pregnant.
Inside her was a small life, their child. The thought of it was utterly surreal.
