Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Someone who is pregnant?

When everyone heard this, they seemed to be petrified and forgot to react.

Shen Nankui was the most incredulous. She struggled to sit up from the bed and tightly grasped the doctor's sleeve with one hand, "You...what did you say?"

The doctor was surprised and asked, "It's been more than four months, you didn't know?"

Shen Nankui looked shocked, as if struck by lightning.

More than four months?

Is her child still alive?

But, how is this possible?

"Doctor, you didn't diagnose my pulse wrongly, did you? Are you sure... I'm still pregnant?"

The doctor was about thirty years old, with a white face and a slight beard. He originally looked amiable, but when he heard this, he immediately became anxious and stood up and said, "Madam, what do you mean by this? I have been practicing medicine for decades. Although my medical skills may not be top-notch, how can I make a mistake in diagnosing a happy pulse?"

"Besides, you are nearly five months pregnant and your pulse is stable. Any apprentice in the clinic can diagnose it. Madam, aren't you destroying my reputation by saying this?"

He looked extremely angry.

Shen Nankui was stunned and so surprised that he couldn't even speak.

The doctor continued to nag, "I am really surprised. Can't you feel whether you are pregnant or not? How is it possible that you are almost five months pregnant and you have no idea about it? And you dare to travel such a long distance. Are you making things difficult for yourself or harming the baby in your belly?"

He sighed, shook his head and said, "The child is really suffering with a careless mother like you..."

After saying this, he still seemed to be unsatisfied, and pointed at Cai Ling, who also had a dazed look on his face, and said, "You should be her husband, right?"

"Look at you, your wife was careless, but how could you be so reckless that you let a pregnant woman wander around with you? Pregnant women are fragile and cannot endure such suffering. If you had come a little later today, it would be hard to say whether you could have kept the child!"

Although the doctor has a bad temper, he is very determined in curing diseases and saving lives.

He quickly gave Shen Nankui acupuncture to relieve her discomfort, and then wrote a prescription, "This is a prescription for keeping the fetus safe. Take the medicine twice a day, morning and night, and rest for two days, and you will be fine."

He also reminded her: "Even if you really have something urgent to do and need to hurry, don't push yourself. Your health is important, so take a rest when you need to."

He looked at Cai Ling and said, "You are a grown man. It's okay if you didn't know it before, but you have to be considerate of your wife in the future. After all, she is pregnant with your child. It's hard for a woman to be pregnant. You should also pay more attention to it."

Cai Ling didn't know what to say and could only nod blankly.

"I will definitely keep that in mind."

Ever since Shen Nankui found out that the baby was still in her belly, she seemed to be in a trance. She held her belly tightly with both hands, and her expression looked like she was smiling at one moment and crying at another.

The doctor looked at her and shook his head.

"Look at the lady's state, this must be her first child. She is so happy now that she is going crazy."

He stood up to leave.

Hehua hurriedly stopped the man. She looked at Shen Nankui who was immersed in her own world on the bed. She knew in her heart that after the girl recovered, she would definitely want to know everything clearly, so she couldn't let the doctor leave like this.

She pulled the doctor aside and said, "Doctor, please wait, I still have something to ask you."

"Well, go ahead."

He Hua said, "My girl took a bowl of abortion medicine more than a month ago, and the doctor concluded that the baby was gone. But now you have diagnosed that she is pregnant. Does that mean... that bowl of abortion medicine did not affect my girl?"

"She also drank abortion pills?"

The doctor looked doubtful and said, "That's impossible. If it's really an abortion drug, even if there's no miscarriage, the fetus must be damaged. But I just checked your pulse and it's stable. Although you're a little bit aborted, it's just the pregnancy reaction and the fatigue from the long journey that caused this phenomenon."

Hehua had a vague guess in her heart, but she didn't dare to believe it.

The doctor frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "So, you have always believed that the baby in this lady's belly is gone?"

Hehua nodded.

The doctor looked puzzled. "This lady is vomiting, suffering from edema, and lethargy. These are symptoms that only pregnant women have. They are so obvious, didn't you suspect anything?"

He Hua shook his head. "These symptoms have only appeared in the past few days. Before this, my daughter didn't show any abnormalities. So, we just thought she was weak and couldn't stand the fatigue of traveling."

The doctor thought for a moment and asked, "Has your wife taken any medicine?"

"Eat it!"

He Hua didn't know what he was thinking about, and nodded suddenly and said, "After my daughter was diagnosed with miscarriage by the doctor, she has been taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor to regulate her body. She only stopped taking it a few days ago, and it just happened to coincide with the time when the daughter showed abnormal behavior!"

"Is the recipe still there? Show it to me!"

Upon hearing this, Hehua hurriedly rummaged through her luggage, found the prescription and handed it to the doctor.

After reading it, the doctor sighed and said, "How strange! This is not a tonic at all, but a prescription for keeping the fetus. However, someone has added a few herbs that can suppress pregnancy reactions to this prescription. No wonder you didn't notice it..."

Hearing this, Hehua widened his eyes in shock and covered his mouth with his hands.

Surprisingly, it is true...

Seeing her like this, the doctor seemed to understand something and sighed, "I have said everything I need to say. As far as I can see, this lady and her unborn baby are fine for now. You can do whatever you want."

After the doctor left, Zhongshan went to get the medicine.

Hei Niu was feeding the horses in the backyard of the inn. Several guards from the Hu family were arranged to rest elsewhere. Only He Hua and Cai Ling were guarding the room.

Cai Ling looked at Shen Nankui with mixed feelings. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how to start. After a while, he sighed and said, "Miss Shen, you should have a good rest. If you need anything, just call me. My room is right across from you."

After saying that, he looked at her deeply and left the room.

After a long while, Shen Nankui seemed to come back to his senses and called softly, "Hehua?"

"Girl, I'm here."

He Hua heard her call and hurried forward to hold her hand.

Shen Nankui's eyes finally focused, and he smiled at her, then looked down at his belly, "Hehua, he's still here, my child is still here."

He Hua nodded with tears in her eyes, "Yes, the doctor said that you and the young master will be fine."

Shen Nankui smiled and gently stroked her lower abdomen with her hands.

"I was wondering why my waist had gotten thicker recently, and I thought it was because I ate too much, but I didn't expect it was because he was in my belly. It's so great, Hehua, the child is still here. After all, it's not me as a mother who let him down. I should be happy to have him back after losing him."

She murmured softly, as if filled with endless joy, but tears were streaming down her face.

"But why did he lie to me..."
