During the time in the hospital, Wen Xinya largely stayed in bed and even extremely rarely touched the ground. Only when Si Yiyan was around did she get the chance to take a few steps on the floor.
Usually, when Si Yiyan wasn’t around, nobody dared to let her get down from the bed.
In the morning, after brushing her teeth, Wen Xinya was overcome by nausea and started to vomit over the toilet bowl. As there was no food in her stomach, even after belching for a long time, she only managed to get some bile up. However, the nausea persisted.
Si Yiyan got a shock. “I’ll call Old Mr. Du and get him over to have a look.”
Ever since Xinya got pregnant, she had never belched so badly before. Pregnancy concerned females and it was also Si Yiyan’s first time facing such a situation—regardless of how calm he was, he couldn’t help but panic.
Upon seeing this, Mother He beamed instinctively and hurriedly said, “Don’t panic—it’s a good sign. Instead, the fact that Young Mistress is three months pregnant and had still yet to experience any pregnancy symptoms was because the pregnancy had yet to stabilize. Now that she’s having morning sickness, it’s a sign that the pregnancy has stabilized.”
She had served the Mo Family for two generations and could roughly tell what was happening to Young Mistress.
During this period of time, Young Mistress’s pregnancy was unstable and she had also been on tenterhooks serving her. Great. Now that her pregnancy was finally stabilized, it would also be easier to nurse it from now on.
Si Yiyan relaxed slightly. However, to be on the safe side, he still gave Old Mr. Du a call.
And Xinya, having been through vigorous vomiting, leaned on the hospital bed frailly with a pale face. She was still feeling weak all over but was very happy to hear Mother He say that her pregnancy was stabilized.
Mother He went to the kitchen to prepare the breakfast that Wen Xinya usually loved for her.
Unexpectedly, she vomited all over the place. Her usual favorite good made her sick to the stomach. After suffering for the entire morning, nothing settled in her stomach.
Instead, she had already been so badly tormented that she was extremely fatigued, to the point that she couldn’t even be angry.
Si Yiyan was very worried. He put down all the work on hand and kept her company all the way. “She’s vomiting so badly and can’t keep anything down. Is she really alright?”
Initially, he believed it when Mother He said that the pregnancy had stabilized.
However, seeing Xinya suffer like this made him doubt it uncontrollably.
He called the doctor over to check on her and his advice was more or less the same—things like to nurse the pregnancy well and take in more nutrients—there was nothing concrete.
Regarding the western doctors’ standard, professional replies all the time, Si Yiyan was slightly irked.
Although he wasn’t a doctor, it didn’t mean that he didn’t understand those professional terms. The lengthy statements only meant one thing: stay in the hospital for observation.
Mother He said, “Don’t worry. All women suffer when they get morning sickness. This is typical for some people—to dislike the food that they usually loved and instead suddenly like to eat things that they usually hated. I’ll go make Young Mistress more food—once I ascertain her palate, I can guarantee that even if she suffers from morning sickness, she’ll be able to tide through safely.”
Mother He happily went off and got busy.
Wen Xinya saw that Si Yiyan’s face was scrunched up and he was looking extremely solemn—especially his winged brows which were usually mild and elegant, but sometimes twitched in an imposing and threatening manner, sometimes furrowed harshly, and sometimes sank mildly in a majestic and sharp way.
At this point, his brows were gently furrowed on his hazy face—he was obviously worried about her.
Wen Xinya gently tugged at his finger and said, “I’m really alright. Most women go through morning sickness during pregnancy. Don’t worry.”
Most women went through serious morning sickness during pregnancy. As long as they were taken good care of during that time, there would not be much harm done.
Si Yiyan grunted in affirmation. “Old Mr. Du will be here soon. Later, we’ll get him to read your pulse carefully.”
The result of the doctor’s examination just now was very unsatisfactory to him.
So, compared to the doctor in the hospital, he trusted Old Mr. Du’s pulse reading more.
Wen Xinya nodded.
Very quickly, Mother He made a few sets of exquisite breakfasts and brought them over. Those were things that she usually didn’t like to eat.
After going through the vomiting just now, Wen Xinya felt discomfort in her gastric, tight in her chest, and totally didn’t have any appetite. Si Yiyan patiently coaxed her into having some. Fortunately, she really didn’t express nausea.
Gradually, she ate some more.
Si Yiyan’s scrunched up face finally relaxed.
Just then, Du Shinan walked into the ward. “Xinya girl, Ninth Si said that you experienced morning sickness this morning? I’ll read your pulse and see how the baby is doing!”
Morning sickness was the most obvious pregnancy symptom. If nothing was wrong, the pregnancy should have stabilized.
Wen Xinya placed her wrist flat down and said slightly sheepishly, “Grandpa Du, I’m already feeling much better now. Yan has overreacted and troubled you to especially…” make the trip!
Ever since she got pregnant, they had already troubled Grandpa Du very much.
Thinking about how Grandpa Du was already so old and still had to rush to and fro because of her, she felt slightly bad.
Old Mr. Du shot a glance at her and made her swallow her unspoken words.
Wen Xinya stuck her tongue out and didn’t dare to speak further.
After reading her pulse, Du Shinan touched the beard on his chin, smiled, and said, “Not bad, not bad. This pregnancy is almost stabilized and it’ll be easier to nurse it from now on. However, your body is still very weak and you’ll need to take in more nutrients.”
This was already an old saying, and he always reminded her almost every time after reading her pulse.
Si Yiyan couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. “Is there anything that we need to take note of?”
Previously, as the pregnancy was unstable, he had been ill at ease. Unexpectedly, after nursing her pregnancy for less than a month in the hospital, it had stabilized—Old Mr. Du’s pregnancy stabilizing medicine was indeed effective.
Du Shinan said, “Xinya has a weak constitution and it’ll be better for her to stay on bed rest for this period of time. For other matters, Mother He is experienced and Mrs. Tan is well-versed in medicine—they’ll naturally know and I don’t have to say too much.”
It was also Ninth Si and the rest’s credit that Xinya’s pregnancy stabilized so quickly. After this, he didn’t have to worry so much anymore.
A smile finally appeared on Ninth Si’s face.
Wen Xinya was also overjoyed and she hurriedly asked, “Grandpa Du, can I be discharged from the hospital already—it’s really very boring to stay in the hospital all the time.”
She had on a pitiful expression.
Regardless of how well the hospital’s facilities were, it couldn’t compare to being at home—she was really not used to staying in the hospital.
Du Shinan saw that she was looking all sorrowful and couldn’t help but laugh heartily. “Stay in the hospital for a couple more days. We’ll see how the morning sickness goes—if there’s nothing serious, let’s go home and nurse the pregnancy. Anyway, the Mo Family isn’t far from the medical hall and I can take better care of you too.”
Due to the proximity, even if there were any emergencies, he could react in time.
Although not being able to be discharged immediately made Wen Xinya slightly disappointed, the thought of being able to be discharged still cheered her up.
