Chapter 1: Three Years as a Barren Land

In a VIP room with doors closed and curtains shut, it was so quiet that only breathe could be heard.
He Xiyan lied on bed restlessly with a frown of discomfort. Her palm-sized face looked so pale that it was almost horrifying. Her hands firmly clutched the sheets, and her legs were shaking due to the pain down there.
She bit her lips so hard that it almost made herself bleed, yet she had not moved her eyes away from the doctor even for a second.
“Doctor, how is it?” She couldn’t help asking even though the examination was not over yet. She really wanted to know the result. She really did.
The gynecologist just kept her eyes on the ultrasound imaging on the screen with her brows knitted until they were untied with a smile.
“Not bad, Miss He. The uterine membrane is about 10mm thick, and a dominant follicle of 23x20mm is visible in the left ovary. Your cervix is in good condition with no inflammatory symptoms. You are now very suitable for conception.”
The doctor explained the examination result to the patient and turned her head to find that her patient already risen from bed out of excitement with the device still inside her body.
“What did you just say, doctor?” The woman’s face which was just bloodless had suddenly turned pink. She grasped the doctor’s hand like she still couldn’t believe it, with her clear eyes filled with hope.
The doctor took out the device at once! It was the first time she had had a patient so thrilled.
“Yes, Miss He, you are officially well and ready for conception now. Also, the ultrasound shows that you will have ovulation in 48 hours, so I suggest you and your husband have s.e.xual intercourse today and tomorrow.”
The doctor’s words flowed into her heart like spring water. He Xiyan found herself shaking while clutching the examination report.
Is this true? Am I really able to have a baby now?
She diligently looked at the report again and again, like it was too good to be true. She finally couldn’t help smiling after every number had been checked for at least five times.
She held up the report paper with her both hands and left a smiling kiss mark on it.
(Yixuan, we can finally have a baby!)
Saying that in her heart, she smiled even bigger.
It was Christmas and almost evening. Festive lights decorated the streets, and cheerful music sounded at every corner of the city.
After days of cloudy weather, it started to snow as if it was also in the festive mood. Snowflakes fell down to the trees along the streets, putting them in a white gown for the holidays.
He Xiyan went to a mall to shop Christmas gifts for her husband, Mo Yixuan, and her mother-in-law, Li Qin: a black Yani cashmere coat and a deluxe fur. It’s getting colder and even snowing today, so she bought the clothes to resist the cold for her two loved ones except for herself.
As the car driving towards the waterfront villa area of Ye City, the smile never left He Xiyan’s face. In her smile there’s hope but also satisfaction. She looked at the ultrasound report every now and then, as this had been the best Christmas gift for her, better than any jewelry one can buy in a shopping mall.
It has been three years. In order to fight PCOS and have a baby, she had tried various medicine, taken countless shots, and done numerous examinations. Her ordeal of the past three years finally invited some good news.
Touching her flat belly, He Xiyan smiled.
“Yixuan, please come home today – I’ll be waiting for you!”
“~(@^_^@)~”
