The Sweetest Medicine

Lu Xuechen raised his eyebrow and asked Lin Jiayu, “Where’s Xiao Yu?”

His slender finger brushed gently across his lips as an indescribable sense of amusement appeared in his eyes.

“She’s sick. She’s sleeping at home,” Lin Jiayu said deliberately as she gave Fang Zhihan a cold glance.

Sick? This word made Fang Zhihan furrow his brows. Without saying a word, he suddenly stood up and left.

As soon as Fang Zhihan left, Lu Xuechen could no longer hold back his laughter. Amused at Fang Zhihan’s misfortune, he said, “Finally, your day has come.”

Lin Jiayu looked at Lu Xuechen coldly, “What kind of friend are you?”

Lu Xuechen leaned back lazily in his chair, “Who told you he was my friend? He is clearly my enemy. It’s not easy to see him suffer, how could I not laugh?”

“But, Gangan’s not happy.”

“What is there to be unhappy about?”

Men were a bunch of pigs. Talking to them about love was a complete waste of time.

So, Lin Jiayu stood up and said, “I’m not hungry. You can eat on your own…”

Perhaps, due to standing up too quickly, Lin Jiayu didn’t get to finish her sentence before she felt a little dizzy.

She quickly pressed down on the table to stabilize herself.

Opposite her, Lu Xuechen noticed something wasn’t right and immediately reached out to support her.

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m really dizzy…” Everything in front of her turned dark. Lin Jiayu closed her eyes and leaned into Lu Xuechen’s chest.

As the woman leaned weakly in his arms, Lu Xuechen felt his heart twist a little.

“I’ll take you to the hospital right away,” he picked Lin Jiayu up in his arms and rushed to the hospital as fast as he could.

After a blood test, the doctor told the two not to worry.

“This is a result of low sugar levels. It is common for a pregnant woman to experience low blood pressure, dizziness and nausea. This is normal during early pregnancy so it is important that a pregnant woman pays attention to her nutrition, relaxes and not get too stressed nor too nervous …”

After leaving the hospital, Lin Jiayu was a lot better.

Seeing that her face was a little pale, Lu Xuechen asked worriedly, “Are you still dizzy?”

Lin Jiayu looked at his worried eyes. Her gaze softened and she said quietly, “I’m not dizzy anymore, I’m just a little nauseous. I should be fine after I eat a plum.”

“Can you endure it?” Lu Xuechen asked.

Lin Jiayu replied faintly, “Uh huh.”

Lu Xuechen looked at Lin Jiayu in her current state and suddenly realized a question he had never asked, “The child’s father, does he know of the existence of this child?”

Lin Jiayu shook her head.

“Why didn’t you tell him?”

“I don’t know who he is,” Lin Jiayu said as she looked out the window.

“You don’t know?” Lu Xuechen was shocked.

How did she fall pregnant when she didn’t know who the father was and why did she decide to keep the child? Even a slightly smart woman would know that this child shouldn’t be kept.

“It happened just over there…At that time, I was so drunk I couldn’t even differentiate between north, south, east, and west. By the time I woke up, everything had already happened and the man was gone.”

She was relaxed as she spoke in a calm voice like she was talking about someone else.

Lu Xuechen followed Lin Jiayu’s slender finger and looked at the luxurious club that had all the amenities.

Wasn’t that the place where he was raped by an ugly woman?
