Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

That seemed unusual to the head nurse. She had worked in the medical field for a long time, including in the obstetrics and gynecology department. She had never seen anything like that before. Even stranger, all the pregnant women taken there that day were from the army. They were there because of the abortion drugs.

“Based on the time of the attack, it must be meal time. Go back and check if it was something they ate.” The head nurse scanned the room and realized that there was something wrong. Then, she handed the report to Lu Xingzhi. She felt that he should have the highest military rank.

After that, the head nurse left. Lu Xingzhi looked at the report in his hand. He could not understand it.

Lu Xingzhi said, “Do you want to take the report or leave it with me for now? If you want to take it, I will look for you when my wife wakes up. We can’t understand it, but she is a doctor. She can understand it. I will help you talk to the military about that and get them to investigate.”

There was no doubt that those three couples did not know each other. They were not even in the same regiment. They could not have eaten something bad together. Furthermore, the three women could not have agreed to eat abortion drugs together.

They were also sure that the three women wanted their pregnancies. They were looking forward to meeting and loving their children.

“Colonel Lu, please keep it. I’ll have to bother your wife to help us check if there’s something wrong with those results. It’s fine. Why would it be because she took some abortion drugs?” The soldier clenched his fists. “My wife will not take any abortion drugs. I’m very certain about that. ‘

“Alright.”

Lu Xingzhi agreed. Then, he took the papers and quickly walked toward Jiang Yao’s ward.

Jiang Yao was in a single ward. Lu Xingzhi was afraid that she was still waiting for him to return, so he rushed back to the room. However, he saw Jiang Yao sleeping soundly when he entered the room. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. He sighed. How could he forget that Jiang Yao was different from usual?

She would have opened her eyes and waited for him to return if it was a usual circumstance. However, her body was weak, so she needed a good rest.

Lu Xingzhi called Zhou Junmin from outside the ward and told him about the situation with the pregnant women. Everyone, including Zhou Junmin, was shocked when they heard what the head nurse said.

“Go and check if the three women ate anything together today,” Lu Xingzhi said.

“Colonel, that is not right. One of the women came here because she was visiting her family, and the other fivo live on base. They must have cooked by themselves, and the woman who came to visit her family must have eaten in the canteen. They ate different things today. What could they have in common?” Zhou Junmin felt that it was unlikely.

“Tell the chief about this. The rest can wait until I go back tomorrow.” Lu Xingzhi thought about it and felt it was not easy to investigate. It was better to wait until Jiang Yao woke up and let her confirm the list’s contents first.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xingzhi stood at the door for a while before returning to the ward. He took off his shoes and lay on the bed before hugging Jiang Yao in his arms.

Jiang Yao did not get a good night’s sleep. When she was at home, she would usually not wake up as long as she was asleep, no matter how he moved her. However, merely touching her then made her appear to be on the verge of waking up; it was as if she had been startled..
