Chapter 183 - Pregnancy
The traffic police, the fire department, and the first-aid responders were all present.
Song Ning was fully conscious and was in a lot of pain. She could not help but cry when she called Mu Chen.
Mu Chen was scared out of his wits when he received her call and rushed over immediately.
Song Ning"s self-diagnosis was not wrong; she had fractured her ribs, broken her ankle, and sustained abrasions on her skin. The news that came as a shock was that she was pregnant for more than seven weeks.
At this moment, the doctor spoke to Mu Chen who pacing back and forth outside of the ward. He said joyfully, "Fortunately, the baby is fine. It"s really a blessing!"
Mu Chen was dumbfounded; he felt as though he was dreaming. He asked in a daze, "Then… Then what should we do?"
The doctor looked at Mu Chen, puzzled, "What do you mean by what should we do? Take good care of her. Her external injuries aren"t serious, but they"re not trivial either. Since she"s pregnant, you have to be careful at all times. You have to observe her carefully; you can"t be careless…"
Mu Chen was still in a daze. "What should I do then?"
The doctor chuckled, amused by Mu Chen"s reaction. It was clear that Mu Chen was so happy about being a first-time father that he could not even react at all. In the end, the doctor said before he left with a smile on his face, "All you need to do is stay by her side and watch over her. Make sure she"s happy and gets the nutrition she needs. That"s all…"
It was obvious to the doctor that the young man in front of him loved his wife deeply. What a happy couple.
Mu Chen stared at the door of the ward blankly, still processing the good news. When he finally reacted, the immense joy he felt caused the corners of his lips to rise uncontrollably.
At this moment, his phone rang, and he instinctively answered it with a foolish smile on his face. He sounded proud and happy as he called out, "Grandma."
Jiang Jin was puzzled by Mu Chen"s behavior, but she did not dwell on the matter. She said anxiously, "Mu Chen, where are you? Where"s Song Ning? Is she with you? Did you hear there was a car accident near the entrance of the hospital? Go and check on her now. I tried calling her, but she"s not picking up. I don"t know what she"s doing…"
Mu Chen did not respond to Jiang Jin"s questions. Instead, he said in an inconcealable happy voice, "Grandma, come to the hospital. Hurry! I"m going to be a father!"
Only silence could be heard from the other end of the line after Mu Chen finished speaking. However, he did not end the call.
After a while, Jiang Jin finally asked in a trembling voice, "M-mu Chen, a-are you sure?"
Mu Chen replied in a gentle and satisfied tone, "Yes."
Only a scream could be heard from the end of the line before Jiang Jin ended the call.
…
Song Ning felt as though she had been run over by a truck; she felt sore all over and tired.
When she opened her eyes, she first saw a white ceiling and heard a beeping noise. With that, she was reminded that she was almost hit by a car and had been hospitalized.
"What a disaster! That Ye Xin is really crazy!" Song Ning sighed inwardly.
"Ningning, you"re awake?" Mu Chen"s surprised voice rang by her ears.
Song Ning turned her head and saw Mu Chen sitting by the bed, looking at her eagerly.
Mu Chen"s smile widened now that Song Ning had regained consciousness. Then, he began to fire questions at her one after another. "Do you want to drink some water? Are you hungry? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Do you need me to call the doctor over?"
Song Ning could not help but smile and gently shook her head. "I just feel sore and tired. It"s quite painful. Are my ribs broken?"
"No, no." Mu Chen hurriedly waved his hand. "The doctor said you only fractured your ribs. Although it"s not broken, you have to take good care of yourself. However, you did break your ankle. The others are just superficial injuries. Jiahui came and personally treated the superficial wounds; she promised they wouldn"t leave a scar."
Song Ning frowned, slightly unhappy. Then, she said with a sigh, "Do I have to attend cla.s.ses in a wheelchair? I can"t even use crutches since my ribs are fractured…"
Mu Chen held Song Ning"s hand and looked at her; he could not bear to look away from her. He said gently, "It"s fine. I"ll push the wheelchair for you…" Then, he pinched her cheek softly and added, "Don"t be unhappy. If you"re unhappy, the baby will sense it as well…"
"Baby?" Song Ning widened her eyes in shock, speechless.
Mu Chen could not help but laugh when he saw Song Ning"s reaction. He was just like her earlier, unable to recover from the shock for a long time. However, she was a doctor; how could she be so shocked? After a moment, he said tenderly, "Ningning, you"re going to be a mother, and I"m going to be a father. You"re pregnant…"
Song Ning instinctively reached out and placed her left hand on her right wrist, checking her pulse. Soon after, the shocked expression on her face was replaced with disbelief before it gradually changed to one of joy. She looked at Mu Chen and said tentatively, "I… I"m pregnant…"
Mu Chen nodded and tightened his grip around her hand slightly. He said slightly incoherently, "Song Ning, we… we"re going to be parents. I"m... I"m so happy.. We must… We have to give our baby lots of love. Lots and lots of love!"
