When Ye Xiaomeng handed the results to the doctor, she froze in place, as if awaiting a verdict.
She watched the doctorâs expressions closely, her heart racing like a rollercoaster ride. Sometimes the doctor frowned, sometimes her face remained neutral.
âHave you had a miscarriage before?â the doctor asked, setting down the results.
Ye Xiaomengâs heart skipped a beat. Was there really a problem? Why would the doctor ask that?
âYes⦠Doctorâ¦â Ye Xiaomeng felt her voice trembling.
âDonât be nervous. There are treatments for all kinds of problems, and yours isnât too serious. Just need to be a bit more careful,â the doctor paused for a moment, then continued, âYour fallopian tubes have some adhesions, but not severe, and thereâs also some inflammation. Iâll prescribe some medication to clear it up for you.â
âOkay, thank you, doctor,â Ye Xiaomengâs heart calmed down a bit. âRefrain from intercourse for a while, and come back for a follow-up after completing the medication course,â the doctor advised.
âOkay.â Ye Xiaomeng took the prescription and went to get the medication.
Coincidentally, Mother He had come to the hospital for a headache recently.
She spotted Ye Xiaomeng coming out of the gynecologistâs office from a distance.
Mother He looked puzzled. Was Xiaomeng pregnant? She followed her to the pharmacy, her steps unconsciously following.
Ye Xiaomeng waited for her turn, lost in thought due to her low spirits. She didnât notice the people around her.
After getting her medication, she left.
Now, Mother Heâs heart was in her throat. She hesitated for a moment, then turned back to the doctorâs office where Ye Xiaomeng had been treated.
âHello, Doctor. My daughter-in-law was just treated here. Her name is Ye Xiaomeng. Is everything okay with her?â Mother He asked, seeing that the room was empty.
The doctor glanced at her and replied, âPatient confidentiality prevents me from disclosing that information. You can go back and ask her yourself.â Mother He could only leave with a sense of embarrassment.
After seeing the doctor, Mother He returned home and immediately called He Ming.
âMom, is everything okay?â He Ming was surprised to receive a call from his mother during work hours. She rarely contacted him at this time.
âMing, Iâve been having headaches lately. Can you come home when you have time?â Mother Heâs tone was somewhat subdued.
âWhat happened? Iâll take you to see a doctor.â He Ming said anxiously.
âI just saw the doctor and came back. They said itâs just some nervous exhaustion and prescribed some medicine. I just need to rest well,â Mother He actually wanted to ask about Xiaomengâs situation.
âIâll come back after work. If you need anything, just call me.â He Ming couldnât leave immediately due to some urgent matters today, but hearing that his mother had seen the doctor, he felt somewhat reassured.
As soon as He Ming finished his work, he hurried back home.
âMom, how are you feeling now?â He Ming asked anxiously as soon as he saw Mother He.
âMuch better. Iâve been having trouble sleeping lately and sometimes feel a bit nervous, but resting well seems to help,â Mother He felt comforted seeing He Mingâs concerned expression. Her son still cared for her deeply; he wasnât the type to forget his mother after getting married.
He Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
âMing, do you and Xiaomeng plan to have children together?â Mother He knew it would be difficult to convince He Ming to give up on Xiaomeng now.
âYes, weâve been preparing for it,â He Ming answered honestly, hoping Mother He would let go of her prejudices.
âHas Xiaomeng shown any signs yet?â Mother He continued to inquire.
He Ming remembered that Xiaomeng had just had her period recently, so he shook his head. âNot yet, but weâre still young, so thereâs no rush.â
He Ming thought Mother He was concerned about whether Xiaomeng was pregnant, but in fact, Mother He wanted to know the purpose of Xiaomengâs visit to the hospital today..
