The Rough Hunter's Little Lucky Wife

319 Happy News

This pain came suddenly and disappeared in a flash.

Yue Jiaojiao took a moment to calm herself down. “I’m fine. It must’ve been from the fight just now.”

“Do you have a doctor at home?” Gu Xiaoyu was still worried. “I’ll send you back later and let the doctor take a look at you.”

“We can talk about it later. Let’s deal with the workshop first.”

!!

Yue Jiaojiao tried to stand and sit a few times. Seeing that her lower abdomen no longer hurt, she went straight into the workshop’s study.

“Xiaoyu, after Yang Maozhong and Dashan have finished counting the goods, please ask them to come to me.”

Gu Xiaoyu heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright, I’ll let them know.”

Shang had already taken action.

It wasn’t Yue Jiaojiao’s character to sit and wait for the guillotine to fall.

When the three managers arrived at the study, Yue Jiaojiao explained her plan to them in detail and then gave them detailed instructions one by one.

Madam Qin was the one who sent her dinner to the workshop. She was worried that it would be unsafe for her to walk back at night, so she stayed in the workshop to keep Jiaojiao company.

Before Gu Xiaoyu left, she saw Madam Qin chatting with her, “Jiaojiao’s stomach hurt today. She’s been busy for the whole day, please get the doctor to take a look at her when you get back later.”

Having a doctor at home was proof of a weak body.

It now made sense as to why Zhao Zhan was so protective of her.

By the time Yue Jiaojiao finished with the accounts for the past few days, the moon was already high in the sky.

“My lady,” Madam Qin called out to Yue Jiaojiao as she entered the house with her. “I heard that your stomach had some issues today. Shall we go to Doctor Sun to take a look?”

“Madam Qin, it’s too late now. Let Doctor Sun rest.” Yue Jiaojiao was a little tired as well. “Besides, it only hurt a little today, so let’s talk about it tomorrow.

“My lady, are you really not feeling well? If you aren’t, don’t force yourself. Making money isn’t as important as your health.”

“I’m really fine.” Yue Jiaojiao turned around on the spot. “I’m just a little sleepy.”

“I’ll go prepare the hot water.”

When Madam Qin heard her say that she was sleepy, she turned around and went to the kitchen without delay.

“You should stay warm. Before Zhao Zhan left, he told me to boil more hot water every day to help you warm your blanket.”

Madam Qin came out of the kitchen and stuffed a few hot bottles under the quilt.

When she turned around, she realized that Yue Jiaojiao was already fast asleep.

“Why is it that after Zhao Zhan left, you’ve been sleeping more than usual?”

Madam Qin mumbled and walked over to pat Yue Jiaojiao on the shoulder. “My lady, wake up. You’ll catch a cold if you sleep here.”

Yue Jiaojiao stared at her in a daze.

She rubbed her eyes and wanted to call out to Zhao Zhan, but she was stunned for a moment and pouted in grievance. She quietly went to bed, hugged a pillow in her arms, and fell asleep again.

Madam Qin looked at her with a face full of love.

Ever since Zhao Zhan went to Bei City, Jiaojiao had never acted childishly to anyone. Her temper was only directed at Zhao Zhan.

The next day, Yue Jiaojiao woke up and washed up. When she opened the door, she saw Doctor Sun sitting in the backyard with a medicine box in his hand.

“Doctor Sun!”

“You’re finally up.” Doctor Sun patted the table. “Come here.”

“Why didn’t you wake me up?” Yue Jiaojiao walked over and sat across from Doctor Sun. She obediently extended her wrist and said, “The weather is so cold now. Sit here and wait for me. You need to take care of your body.”

“It’s not cold.” Doctor Sun’s fingertips were placed on Yue Jiaojiao’s pulse.

He retracted his finger in surprise. “Your other wrist.”

Hearing the commotion, Madam Qin came out of the small kitchen, and her heart was pounding when she heard this.

Yue Jiaojiao switched hands.

“Your pulse…” Doctor Sun couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Yue Jiaojiao. “Although it looks like you’re still in her early stages of pregnancy, this is indeed the pulse of a pregnant woman.”

“Pregnant?!”

Madam Qin looked at Yue Jiaojiao in pleasant surprise. “This is great news! It made sense why your stomach hurt yesterday. Could it be that there’s something wrong with the child?”

Doctor Sun frowned.

Yue Jiaojiao was also surprised. “Doctor Sun, Zhao Zhan has taken the contraceptive pill you gave him. I remember you saying that the effect of the medicine will last for more than a year.”

“It’s only been eight months since Zhao Zhan took the medicine.”

“Are you sure this is not a sign of a fake pregnancy?”

Her lower abdomen was flat.

She didn’t have any reaction to it.

She subconsciously touched her stomach. “If I’m really pregnant, then will the contraceptive pill that Zhao Zhan took have any negative effects on the baby in my stomach?”

Doctor Sun’s face was full of worry.

“I can’t promise you anything.”

He was so worried that his frown almost created permanent crease lines.

“Logically speaking, the effects of the contraceptive pill shouldn’t have worn off so quickly, but Zhao Zhan’s physique is different from ordinary people.

“I saw that even when he was scratched by his prey, his recovery speed was much faster than others.

“Since you are pregnant now, it proves that the medicine in his body has worn off. The fetus in your womb should be fine.”

...

The joy on Madam Qin’s face slowly faded, and her eyes were filled with worry for Yue Jiaojiao.

“My lady…”

Yue Jiaojiao lowered her eyes.

The child’s arrival was an accident. She had thought that it would take at least a year or two for her to have a child.

“Doctor Sun,” Yue Jiaojiao hesitated, “In another month or two, can you diagnose whether the fetus in my womb is healthy or not through the pulse?”

She knew that her question was a little too much. Doctor Sun shook his head slightly. “I can only tell if they’re alive by feeling your pulse.”

These words were cruel.

Yue Jiaojiao’s face turned pale.

“Speaking of this, I was also at fault,” Doctor Sun said regretfully. “I didn’t do much after I told you about this. If I had frequently checked Zhao Zhan’s pulse, I might have been able to inform you in advance.”

Yue Jiaojiao comforted him gently, “This isn’t something that you were aware of either, Doctor Sun.”

“There’s a saying that’s cruel, but…” Doctor Sun hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

...

“If you’re worried about the child, I can prescribe medicine for you and abort it.”

“Doctor Sun!” Madam Qin’s tone was shocking. “How can you say that?! This is a little too cruel!”

Yue Jiaojiao clutched her lower abdomen.

“You just said that I was able to get pregnant because Zhao Zhan’s body no longer had any medicinal effects…” Yue Jiaojiao’s gaze drifted away, and her voice was very soft. “This is also Zhao Zhan’s child. Whether we want to keep it or not, I still have to discuss it with Zhao Zhan first before doing anything.”

“Your pulse is too shallow. The fetus in your womb is only a month old. In the following period of time, I will come over to take your pulse every day.” Doctor Sun retracted his finger. “It was rude of me to suggest this. Let’s wait for a month and see how it goes. I’ll go back and research more on some medical books, and then go to the town to discuss with Doctor Zhou on the proceedings.”
