Su Yan's oversight was too strict, and the feeling he gave her made her feel like he was hiding something from her. A few days ago, he even had someone draw a tube of her blood, claiming it was to check the effects of the days she had been under his care.
After racking her brain, she couldn't think of anything he could be keeping from her, until suddenly she remembered, her period hadn't come!
It's already been over twenty days!
She was alarmed!
Her menstruation had always been regular. Earlier, her focus had been on Su Yan and Jones Ellie. These past few days, she had been occupied with thoughts of Su Yan's odd behaviour that she had forgotten about it.
Thinking back to the terrible nausea she experienced, though she hasn't thrown up since, she often still feels queasy.
All these symptoms were remarkably similar to those in the early stages of pregnancy!
If she was pregnant, he must have known about it when she fainted last time!
Could this be what he's hiding from her?
And why is he hiding it from her?
What is his motive?
Is he carefully taking care of her out of fear that she might not want the child?
Despite the happiness this possibility brought Bai Xue, she dared not be sure, for she had been fanciful too many times, and each time, the outcome was always so hurtful that she dared not do it again.
Brazenly hypothesize, cautiously verify.
Bai Xue thought of asking Lu Yiyi over to help her confirm it.
"Su Yan, I'm going to go crazy with all this suffocation!" His oversight was really harsh. Apart from walking in the park, she basically had no chance of contacting the outside world.
"Soon, you will be able to end these days." The way Su Yan looked at her gave her shivers.
Even though he said she would be free soon, she somehow had the feeling that he was planning to send her to Hell!
Shaking off that disturbing feeling, she said, "I want Yiyi to come and keep me company, even if it's just one afternoon."
"Okay." Su Yan readily agreed.
Pigs are well-fed before slaughter, so it's only right for her to have some happiness before whatever's coming.
The blood test results from a few days ago were good, and he planned to have her undergo surgery tomorrow.
His immediate agreement made Bai Xue even more uneasy.
She adhered to a truth, that with reversal, there must be a trick!
He has been so strict these days, now suddenly not only giving her freedom but also allowing Yiyi to come see her, there must be something behind it.
She lowered her gaze, her thoughts churning.
After Bai Xue's incident with Gongze Yu, she hadn't appeared in public. Both Lu Yiyi and Wang Ningjing went looking for her, but Su Yan didn't let them see her. Despite Bai Xue's phone calls reassuring them, they were still worried.
Upon receiving Bai Xue's call to see her, Lu Yiyi, who was supposed to go to work, immediately called her colleague to exchange shifts.
"Is this your sense of responsibility as a doctor? No wonder so many patients die in your hands!" The man, who was previously concentrating on painting from a window, turned to look at her. His sarcasm incongruously matched his handsome face.
Lu Yiyi had a shock, her mouth moved wanting to say something, but eventually gave up.
She went to the door and then turned back, "Tonight... I might not be able to come back, you..."
"It would be best if you never returned!" His malicious words left no room for her to say the rest.
Her eyes had started welling up, as she hurriedly left.
After she got out, she visited the pharmacy to buy the item Bai Xue had hinted at over the phone and took a taxi to her.
Seeing Bai Xue's healthy complexion was a relief to her. She even looked healthier and fuller compared to a few days ago.
Once the room door was closed, it was just Bai Xue and her, undisturbed.
"Are these things accurate when tested now?" Bai Xue looked at the early pregnancy test strip's instructions, which stated that it required first-morning urine.
