Chapter 1143: She Can Have Children
Xia Yanran leaned in Junyuan’s arms, her head feeling terribly dizzy and heavy. When she heard Junyuan, she shook her head. “Brother, do you think both the Royal Hospital and Ning City’s hospital would make a mistake? I’ve been with Xiao Yi for so many years, but I hadn’t gotten pregnant once, while Zhizhi and Huahua both got pregnant after one time. How can it not be because of my body?”
When Junyuan saw the tears streaming down her face, his heart twisted in pain. “It’s true that your womb is slightly smaller, so it isn’t that easy for you to get pregnant. But it’s not impossible for you to get pregnant. Take your medicine first, I’ll bring you to the hospital again tomorrow.”
Xia Yanran continued to shake her head, not wanting to take the medicine.
So Junyuan had no choice but to crush the medicine into small pieces as he tried to humor her, persuading her bit by bit to drink the medicine.
After taking the medicine, Xia Yanran fell asleep. Junyuan spent the entire night in her room, taking care of her as he changed the cold towel on her forehead from time to time.
Once the skies started to light up, the scorching temperature on her forehead finally started to go down.
Seeing the slight improvement, Junyuan got up and went to the kitchen to make some plain porridge.
When Xia Yanran woke up, the sun was s.h.i.+ning brightly. After her fever had gone down, she felt a lot better and less sore, so she went to the bathroom to take a shower.
She walked out of her room in her home clothes and saw Junyuan sitting on the sofa, reading some medical articles. A few flashes of memory appeared in her mind.
Did… Did she tell brother about her being unable to get pregnant when she was dazed from the fever last night?
Oh my G.o.d, did she really say it?!
Xia Yanran observed Junyuan’s expression carefully, only easing when she noted that there was nothing abnormal about his expression.
She must have remembered it wrongly!
“Brother.”
Hearing Xia Yanran’s voice, Junyuan put down the doc.u.ment, took off his spectacles and ma.s.saged his temples. “I made breakfast.”
“Thank you, Brother. Don’t you have to go to the pharmacy?”
Junyuan hummed and stood up from the sofa. “After you’re done with breakfast, I’m taking you to the hospital.”
Xia Yanran froze for a while.
Looking at Xia Yanran’s stiff expression, Junyuan furrowed his eyebrows a little. “Did you forget that your brother is a doctor too? Although I don’t specialize in gynecology, I know seniors that specialize in that area. I asked a retired Dean about your problem earlier. She said that you might have taken some medication that made your inner membrane become thinner. It’s not something that cannot be treated.”
Junyuan took out the ultrasound report from when Xia Yanran was nineteen years old. “I kept all of Tangtang and your medical records. This belonged to you. You can see here that your inner membrane was normal, so it isn’t a problem you were born with, Yanran.”
Xia Yanran couldn’t remember when she had done an ultrasound scan, but her brother wouldn’t lie to her. Her name was written on the record as well.
It was like he had said. Her womb was small like when she did the recent checkup, but the thickness of her inner membrane was normal.
Xia Yanran’s long lashes fluttered like b.u.t.terfly wings being blown around by a strong wind. “Brother, then
… I’m not infertile by birth?”
“No,” Junyuan’s voice was warm and gentle. “From your diagnosis when you were nineteen years old, it shows that you can get pregnant. Although it may be a little more difficult to get pregnant compared to those with a normal womb size, it’s not impossible.”
Junyuan turned Xia Yanran towards her, his eyes filled with gentleness and affection as he looked at her. “Go have your breakfast first. I’ll take you to the hospital once you’re done and you can do another checkup.”
Xia Yanran’s mind was slightly blank. She was still a little confused. Why would her inner membrane become so thin? However, she seemed to have seen a hint of light and warmth in the complete darkness now.
After she ate a bowl of porridge, Xia Yanran went back to her room to change before she followed Junyuan to the hospital.
Junyuan had contacted the Dean of Gynecology in the hospital. Since Junyuan had worked here before and was nice to everyone, the Dean was a close friend of his.
After explaining Xia Yanran’s situation to the Dean, the Dean personally took Xia Yanran to go take an ultrasound scan.
Very soon, the results were out.
It was not much different from the results she had received at the Royal Hospital.
Xia Yanran felt like her emotions were on a roller coaster. In the first second, she was suddenly filled with hope, only to be thrown back into despair in the next.
After the results were out, the Dean called Junyuan and Xia Yanran to his office.
“Yanran, your older brother showed me your diagnosis results in the past. You’re not infertile by birth, so you don’t have to worry about that. With how thin your inner membrane is now, from my experience, did you take some medication that affected your hormones?”
Xia Yanran froze. Her body had been good all this time and she rarely took medication, especially medication that affected her hormones. However, when she stayed with Xiao Yi in Hong Kong, she had bought a bottle of birth control pills. Back then, the doctor had told her that the pills were not as strong as those emergency contraceptive pills that affected a woman’s body.
Xia Yanran told the doctor about her having taken birth control pills.
“Do you still have the pills you took?”
Xia Yanran shook her head. “I finished it long ago.” Xiao Yi found out she was taking birth control pills later and threw them away in a fit. From then on, she had never taken them anymore.
It was somewhat ironic now that she thought about it. When he was still a triad Boss in Hong Kong, she didn’t want to have children with him, afraid that her child would live a terribly dangerous and insecure life like him in the future.
But now that she wanted one, she couldn’t get pregnant anymore.
“Without the medication, I can’t find out what the pills were made of. However, what I can confirm is that the thinning of your inner membrane is caused by drugs.”
A cold s.h.i.+ver ran through Xia Yanran’s spine. If it was caused by drugs, who would hate her so much to cause her to lose her chance of becoming a mother?
Junyuan stared as Xia Yanran’s face turned pale, wrapping an arm around her shoulders as his large eyes turned towards the Dean. “Can my sister’s body be treated with medication?”
“I’ll give you a prescription first. However, if you want to treat your body, it’s not something that can be done within a few days. All medicine is considered poison too, so the medication I give you may have some side-effects, such as becoming bloated…”
Xia Yanran nodded. “I’m not afraid of anything as long as I can treat my condition.”
“However, it’s not a definite treatment, mainly because you don’t have the medication that caused your inner membrane to become thinner. Since I can’t find out about the drug’s composition, I can’t work on it directly to provide a remedy either.”
“I’m already very relieved that there is still hope for me to be a mother.” As long as it was not the blow of her being born infertile, she was already very happy and glad.
After they left the hospital, Xia Yanran got into the car and took out her phone unconsciously.
She wanted to call Xiao Yi and tell him about this, but the moment her fingers found his number, she stopped herself.
She hadn’t received any missed calls or messages from him. Since that call last night, he hadn’t contacted her again.
Why must she call him? Besides, the doctor also said that it wasn’t a definite thing that she could be treated…
She should take the medicine and treat her body first before she thought about other things!
…
Since Xiao Yi’s company had gotten the important contract with President Bo, everyone was is a positive mood. Several members in the higher management knew that Yi Ran had some credit in the clinching of this contract, so they suggested to Xiao Yi to arrange for a company celebration at a spa resort this coming weekend.
Yi Ran was slightly nervous at first, thinking that Xiao Yi wouldn’t agree since it wasn’t a small expenditure for the entire company to go to a spa report together.
However, Xiao Yi was extremely generous and signed his name on the proposal without much thought at all.
