The 99th Divorce

With one look, Ou Ming knew that it wasn’t so simple. He reached out to pat her back and said, “Are you uncomfortable because you’re too hungry? You slept for more than 10 hours.”

Yu Lili continued dry heaving, but nothing came out. She waved her hand and said, “I’m fine. Let me brush my teeth first.”

In the time it took to brush her teeth, Yu Lili vomited two more times. Similarly, nothing came out at all, but her discomfort worsened. By the time she finished rinsing her mouth, she was on the verge of collapsing. She shuffled her feet to the bed and tumbled right on top of it.

Ou Ming carried her in his arms and headed out without giving her a chance to protest.

The swaying made Yu Lili’s nausea worsen. She cried out hurriedly in discomfort, “What are you doing? I’m about to puke from the discomfort!”

“I’m taking you to the hospital for a check-up,” he said. “You’ve never been this way before. You must be ill, but you don’t have a fever. Perhaps you’re suffering from dehydration and a heat stroke because you slept for too long.”

Yu Lili gave up struggling. She leaned against Ou Ming as she enjoyed his “carrying” service. Once in the car, she leaned on the seat in a half stupor. As she watched the scenery pass her by outside the window, she didn’t feel like speaking. She didn’t even want to move a finger.

When they reached the hospital, Yu Lili was still weak. Ou Ming carried her in. There were many people in the hospital. But, he had contacts there, so they didn’t need to queue before being attended to.

Yu Lili was checked. There was no fever, and her body temperature was a little low. Her face was pale, and her limbs were lifeless. The main issue was her nausea.

The doctor looked through Yu Lili’s symptoms again. After asking a few questions, he took off his glasses and put them on the table. He said, “Go to the OBGYN and have a blood test done.”

OBGYN?

Upon hearing that term, both Ou Ming and Yu Lili were stunned. Their first thought was that they had heard wrong.

“Doctor, did you just say… OBGYN?” Ou Ming asked in disbelief, but he couldn’t contain the smile that appeared. Soon, the smile covered his whole face as he clarified, “Do you mean to say that my wife is pregnant? Is that true?”

Ou Ming’s voice was a little loud, and it sounded a little pressurizing.

The doctor pulled his ear in and said, “How would I know? We’ll only know after a check. Go for the blood test. I can’t be sure that there’s a kid.”

“Ha ha!” Ou Ming almost jumped for joy. He held Yu Lili’s hand and said, “Darling, let’s go to the OBGYN. Hurry!”

Yu Lili was still in a daze. She hadn’t recovered her senses after hearing the term OBGYN.

When Ou Ming pulled her along, she stumbled slightly. It wasn’t too severe, and she caught her balance quickly.

In that moment, Ou Ming suddenly embraced her as if he were handling the most delicate of treasures and checked that she was fine before saying, “Be careful. You have to take care of the baby.”

The doctor got annoyed and tossed Yu Lili’s medical records on the table as he said, “I did not say she was pregnant! Don’t be happy to soon! Go! Go to the Department of Gynecology. Any later and the doctor will be going home!”

Ou Ming quickly nodded his head and pulled Yu Lili up. As he walked, he kept both hands on either side of her. His eyes never left her belly as he kept chanting, “Be careful. Be careful…”

Yu Lili couldn’t restrain her laughter and remarked, “What is this? That was just the outpatient doctor! His opinion doesn’t count! Furthermore, it’s not ascertained yet! And…” Her smile dissipated a little as she whispered, “It’s hard for me to conceive, Ou Ming.”
