Chapter 709 - Pregnant?
"Grandpa Sun, my ribs seem to be broken. I'm going to trouble you again!" Yu Xiaocao revealed a pitiful smile and a pale face, which made others feel sorry for her.
Doctor Sun carefully gave her a checkup and said after much deliberation, "The injury on your ribs isn't an issue. Just take some prescribed medication, put some bone healing balm on it, and rest for a while and it'll be fine. However..."
Seeing Doctor Sun's expression of hesitance and his reluctance to say more, Zhu Junyang's heart suddenly dropped, he picked up Xiaocao's hands and asked, "Is there something wrong with the lass's health? Doctor Sun should just say it! As long as there is a cure, I will do my best to get it no matter how hard it is..."
Doctor Sun waved his hands, sighed, and said, "The princess consort's health is fine, but..."
"But what? Doctor Sun, you should say it quickly!" Wutong was so anxious she almost reached over to grab Doctor Sun's arm to shake it. What was wrong with this man, saying half and leaving the other half to the imagination?
Zhu Junyang's gaze seemed to be hot and it was burning him with its intenseness. Doctor Sun braced himself and hesitantly said, "It's still early and I'm not sure. It'll take at least ten days to halve a month to confirm it."
[Hmph! The old man is beating around the bush for so long. What's there not to say? Isn't it just that you are pregnant? It's not even as big as a bean sprout and so weak that it can disappear at any time. No wonder this quack doctor doesn't dare to confirm it!" The little divine stone crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked unhappily at Doctor Sun's expression, what was he making them anxious for?
"What? I'm...I'm pregnant?!" Yu Xiaocao 'heard' the little divine stone's words and froze. She thought about it for a moment. It had been about half a year since she got married, and she hadn't taken any contraceptive measures. It was normal for a healthy married couple to have a pregnancy occur. However, she didn't expect that a child would bring such surprise and shock to them in this situation!
Zhu Junyang's original worried and anxious expression froze on his face before turning blank. Pr...Pregnant? He was gonna be a father? The one he loved was going to give birth to a baby for him? In another nine months, there would be a small white bun calling himself father? (Author's note: You're overthinking it. A baby calling you father right after being born, wouldn't that be strange?)
A silly smile alighted on his face. Suddenly the smile disappeared and a touch of worry and panic appeared on his face, "Doctor Sun, my wife...she was captured by some bad people and was injured by a powerful martial artist. She suffered serious internal and external wounds..will the child be affected?"
"What?" Doctor Sun's expression became serious. His fingers went to Xiaocao's pulse again. After careful identification, he thought carefully and said, "Your Highness, this unworthy one is unable to sense the internal injuries you talked about. As for the injuries on the ribs, they are healing so just do as I said. It's just that we will have to consider what kind of prescriptions we use. After all, medication is three parts poison, and we must choose a medication that is mild that will have little effect on the fetus. In this way, the healing process will be lengthened and the princess consort will have to suffer a few more days."
"Then... if she were to lose the child now, would she experience any effects?" Zhu Junyang asked bitterly when he heard that his wife would have to endure more than one or two months in bed and suffer.
"Surnamed Zhu, what do you mean? This is your own flesh and blood, yet you dare to kill it? You're too cold-blooded!" Yu Xiaocao exploded at him on the spot. If her ribs didn't hurt as bad as they did right now, she would jump up and claw at his face on the spot! Who gave him the right to decide the fate of her children?
