At this point, Xia Ruya didn’t know that while dealing with Wen Corporation’s crisis, Wen Xinya had already set a trap for her and was just waiting for her to gradually step so deeply into it that she would be unable to escape.
Xia Ruya was currently at the hospital.
Ever since she and Chu Jingnan confirmed their relationship, as they were both young and able, they had been having sex rather frequently. Xia Ruya had discovered that the pain in her lower abdomen during her period had appeared every time they made love.
At first, as the sensation wasn’t obvious, she had ignored it.
However, recently, the pain had already started getting worse. At the same time, her already irregular periods were also worsening. Today was the first day of her period and she felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen, feverish, had a headache, the chills, and a poor appetite!
It was as if she was having a major illness. She hurriedly came to the hospital for a diagnosis.
The doctor looked at Xia Ruya for a while and asked, “In recent years, have you been feeling slightly feverish, easily tired, experiencing psychological symptoms such as insomnia, moodiness, uneasiness, bloating and pain in your lower abdomen, as well as aches in your lower back area?”
Xia Ruya was stunned and a bad premonition arose in her heart.
In the face of the doctor’s solemn expression, Xia Ruya didn’t dare to conceal anything as she hurriedly said, “Yes!”
She tried hard to recall when did she start having such symptoms.
It seemed like her irregular and painful periods started after she was raped years ago. Then, in order to overcome her mental barrier of physical contact with men, she had frequently hooked up with men and gradually developed these symptoms.
A conservative estimate was about six to seven years ago.
As it was a gynecological condition, Xia Ruya was somewhat wary to consult a doctor. Fortunately, over the years, she had been healthy. Thus, she didn’t take the condition to heart. Unexpectedly, her condition was so serious?
Xia Ruya panicked for the fear of having contracted some disease or incurable condition.
The doctor frowned slightly and looked at her with an even more serious gaze. “During this period, have you felt nauseous and bloated, have vomited, have diarrhea, difficulty urinating, and have frequent and painful urination?”
Seemingly struck by lightning, Xia Ruya’s lips trembled as she opened her mouth but was unable to speak. After half a second, she squeezed out a word from her dry throat. “Yes!”
Saying that her body went weak and cold as she couldn’t help but start trembling.
At this point, her already frail body seemed unable to take the blow and was hardly able to stay upright.
Xia Ruya held her almost collapsing body together. With a haggard and anxious expression and trembling all over, she asked with a hoarse voice, “Doctor… what… what exactly is wrong with me?” Her hands were held tightly in fists with white knuckles and green veins filled the back of her hands, showing how nervous and fearful she was at this moment. “Is it an incurable condition?”
She bit on her lips and eventually still couldn’t bring herself to ask if it was a sexually transmitted disease.
Although this doctor was under Mr. Z and was rather reliable, she still felt rather apprehensive. If she had really contracted such a disease, how could she still shamelessly stay alive?
It was already devastating enough that she had been raped and became disfigured.
With the addition of filthy diseases, she would be better off dead.
“It’s a chronic pelvic inflammatory disease which has been hiding in your body for at least five years. Right now, the condition has deteriorated into a rather serious one, causing swelling between your uterus and rectum. Moreover, such an inflammatory disease is not easy to cure and will affect your daily life severely.”
Xia Ruya was stunned.
At this point, she didn’t know if she should feel thankful or sad.
Thankfully, she didn’t contract any incurable condition or filthy disease but pelvic inflammatory disease, which wasn’t much better.
Especially chronic pelvic inflammatory disease—a killer disease for women.
“Your condition is very tricky, having turned from chronic to acute in nature. At the moment, there are very few such cases in the world and will be rather difficult to cure. For the time being, we can only address the symptoms and not cure the disease.”
—Incurable!!!
Xia Ruya was extremely stunned. The doctor’s words struck her heart ruthlessly like bolts of lightning, making it totally unbearable for her.
Although a pelvic inflammatory disease wasn’t a minor condition and was time-consuming and troublesome to cure, it wasn’t a tough feat based on current medical advancements.
Why was it not the case for her?
“Your condition is very serious. I suggest that you immediately get hospitalized for treatment. Otherwise, your condition will continue to deteriorate. Additionally, reduce your sexual life as much as possible. If you’re unmarried, I suggest that you better abstain from sex!”
Xia Ruya was already dumbfounded.
She couldn’t have sex?
In this case, was she still considered a woman?
As a man, how could Chu Jingnan accept such a situation?
Moreover, it was currently the most crucial period in dealing with Wen Corporation. How could she be hospitalized to accept treatment—she couldn’t just give up on such an opportunity to defeat the Wen Corporation.
She felt that God must be playing a trick on her.
After the doctor rambled on and sighed for half a second, he finally announced the cruelest thing. “You’ve gotta be mentally prepared that as the condition has been dragging on for too long, the scar tissues have sealed your fallopian tubes and hardened around your ovaries, causing your eggs to be unable to be dispensed properly. Even if you accept treatment now, you won’t heal completely. You’ll never be able to conceive.”
Xia Ruya had already spaced out.
Honestly speaking, prior to this, she had never thought about having kids and didn’t mind this at all.
However, getting to know that she was infertile, she suddenly felt like falling apart. It was as if she had lost her most important function as a woman and became somewhat inferior to others.
For some reason, she thought of Ning Shuqian.
When she went to the Wen Family, Ning Shuqian had already married Wen Haowen for more than two years and had just been allowed to step into the Wen Family’s old mansion. Ning Shuqian had innocently thought that as long as she could stay in the old mansion, her status in the Wen Family and the upper-class society circle would stabilize.
Thus, when she just went to the Wen Family, being loved and doted on by everyone in the family, she became Ning Shuqian’s target to get close to.
On the surface, she was on good terms with Ning Shuqian.
But actually, she hated Ning Shuqian to the core.
Then, although she was only three-years-old, as she had grown up in an orphanage, she was more mature than other kids and knew the real meaning of a stepmother.
She also knew clearly that once her stepmother gave birth to another child, the love of her Grandpa, Grandma, and Father would be compromised.
Then, she was just feeling jealous as a child.
Thus, she had secretly incited Ning Yuya, telling her that if Ning Shuqian had another child, she would stop loving her and Wen Haowen would also loathe her.
She didn’t feel that she was in the wrong. She just didn’t want anyone to share the love that she had finally gotten.
