Chapter 716: Avoid Pregnancy for Two Years
He Xiyan was helped out of the hospital by Chen Jiahang.
It was a hot day and the sun was blazing since it was 3PM in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day. However, He Xiyan felt cold all over and this chilliness seemed to originate from her heart and spread to every part of her body.
She was covered in cold sweat by the time they had returned to the motel.
Chen Jiahang filled a basin with water and brought it other, then he wrung a towel and wiped the sweat away from her forehead. He was too innocent and wasn’t clever enough to figure out what was wrong with her. He was extremely worried but didn’t know what to do.
He walked to her bedside, lifted the covers and carefully placed her on the bed before he tucked her in.
Then, he opened the bag that they had collected from the hospital. Her medical record book and two boxes of medication were packed inside the bag along with seven sachets of traditional medicinal concoctions that were supposed to be brewed before drinking.
He opened her medical record book and saw the doctor’s messy words scribbled on the very first page.
However, he couldn’t read the doctor’s messy handwriting but he understood the final two sentences. Those sentences read, ‘Preliminary diagnosis: irregular menstrual cycle, insufficiency of qi and blood. Treatment: Patient requires more rest and should take more supplements and tonics that would be able to replenish her blood and qi. Patient must strictly avoid pregnancy for the next two years and return in three months for a follow up-check up.’
He read those words twice and when he saw the words ‘strictly avoid pregnancy for the next two years’, he suddenly blinked hard.
He looked at his wife who lay quietly on the bed, then glanced at her medical record book and the medication that the doctor had prescribed.
He could understand most of the doctor’s words and knew that the doctor had written that she was in poor health and needed more nourishment.
However, what did the words ‘irregular menstrual cycle’ and ‘avoid pregnancy’ mean?
He only had an intellect of a child, so he found those words extremely foreign.
He quickly left the room and went downstairs to find the woman CEO of this hotel.
He handed the medical record book to the CEO and wrote on his small notebook, ‘I don’t understand what the doctor has written.’
The CEO was in high spirits today because the motel was at full occupancy that day, so she had made quite a bit of money.
She read the words he scribbled in his notebook, then flipped open the thin medical record book with a smile.
However, she frowned when she read the words on the medical record book.
Doctors these days were so irresponsible and their handwriting had become even more illegible.
“My friend, I guess you can’t read the doctor’s handwriting either, right? The doctor said that your wife is in poor health, her menstrual cycle is irregular, would need more nourishment, and that she mustn’t work too hard. Moreover, you must avoid getting her pregnant. In other words, you can’t have a child with her in the next two years,” she said as she handed the book back to him.
Then, she gave him a once over.
She had to admit that this man was rather handsome. It was a pity that he was mute and she could tell that he wasn’t very bright either.
How could he show such a terrible diagnosis to strangers? She couldn’t understand his thought process.
Chen Jiahang nodded in thanks and remorse filled his eyes.
This was all his fault. He was so useless that he couldn’t even look after his own wife. He had known that she was in poor health when he bought her and that she was injured, but he still made her suffer so much alongside him. She had to do a lot of household chores and even work on the farm.
He concluded that everything was his fault. If he had looked after her properly, she wouldn’t be in such poor health and they wouldn’t have to stay away from making babies in the next two years.
