The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex

The doctor looked at her medical report and several lab reports before she said, “Miss He, the ultrasound scans showed that your irregular menstrual cycle was caused by the miscarriage you had suffered more than three months ago. You probably didn’t have a proper confinement period, so your body has yet to recover from that trauma. You should try to eat more nourishing foods for your body and I’ll also give you a prescription for some traditional herbal tonics. You should brew these tonics to drink once you get home and avoid drinking cold water in the meantime. Moreover, you just had a cesarean section last year, so you should take precautions to avoid any pregnancies in the next two years. You must be careful not to fall pregnant in the next two years or it would greatly harm your body. Even if you become pregnant, you might not carry the baby to full-term.”

The doctor delivered these words of warning solemnly. Then, he quickly wrote down the suggestions he had made during this consultation. This seemed to be a special case where his patient didn’t seem aware of what she had gone through.

He Xiyan sat numbly at the doctor’s office, her face alternating between flushing red and turning pale.

She stroked her stomach and looked like her soul had left her.

After she walked out of the doctor’s office, she continued to walk numbly, as though she was about to collapse at any moment.

“Child…” The word escaped from her pale lips. Then, she collapsed helplessly against the wall. All the light had left her eyes and she stared blankly up ahead.

If she had a cesarean section, this meant that she had once given birth to a child.

What happened to her baby? Had she given birth to a child? Why couldn’t she remember her baby? Why can’t she remember anything?

The doctor also mentioned that she had a miscarriage three months ago, so whose baby was it?

Oh god!

He Xiyan seemed both upset and annoyed as she smacked her head hard. Then, she hit her head against the wall forcefully as though she was trying to wake herself up and recover her lost memories.

“Yan Yan…” Chen Jiahang said he ran over. He had been waiting for her outside at the lounge but he hadn’t seen her. He realized that she must have gone in the opposite direction.

He saw that she was behaving oddly and seemed to be hitting herself so hard that a swollen bump had already appeared on her head.

Chen Jiahang got a fright when he saw her. He quickly grabbed her shoulders and looked worriedly at her.

“What’s wrong? Yan Yan…” he tried to say as he moved his lips but only soft mumbles escaped. He couldn’t express himself clearly.

He was so worried that his handsome face soon turned red and a layer of sweat had formed on his palm. He quickly dug out the notebook and pen from his pocket when he saw that she wasn’t responding and scribbled, ‘What’s wrong? Are you sick? Don’t worry, Yan Yan, now that we’ve earned some money, I’ll make sure you get the treatment you need. If we haven’t got enough money, I’ll borrow the money we need from someone and earn back whatever sum we need to repay. Don’t worry, alright? Everything will be alright.’

Then, Chen Jiahang showed his notebook to He Xiyan and his concern was written all over his face. Evidently, he was very worried and afraid for her. He remembered that Brother Hui had told him that Yan Yan was in poor health when he bought her as his wife. He blamed himself for not caring for her and even made her do so much hard labor, so her health had not improved.

This was all his fault.

He Xiyan bit her lip hard when he saw the words that he had written and soon, she had bitten her lips so hard that it bled. She felt like the air had frozen all around her, making it hard to breathe.

She looked at Chen Jiahang, this silly man who had always treated her as his wife.

She felt terrible when she saw how much he cared for her. She didn’t know who she was and what she had experienced before. Why had she lost her memories? She wanted to know the truth but at the same time, she was afraid of finding out the truth. She seemed to have always been subconsciously avoiding something and she didn’t even know what that the thing was.
