As a nurse, of course she knew that if there was bleeding, it could signify the first sign of a miscarriage.
But hadn’t she just gone for a check up to the hospital and it seemed that everything was fine?
Although she had been feeling unwell, she hadn’t seen the blood test report with her own eyes. She hadn’t been able to see the figures on the report, hence, she couldn’t have even known that there was something wrong with her body.
Yet now there was bleeding.
Xia Nuannuan’s pupil shrank as she hurriedly walked out of the toilet to lie on the bed. After a long time, she felt much better.
Once again, she took a deep breath and headed downstairs.
Mei Feng was sitting in the living room, so she asked, “Aunty Mei, can you please find someone to take me to the hospital?”
Mei Feng raised an eyebrow. “Nuannuan, although you are pregnant, as a woman, you shouldn’t be so delicate and squeamish. Haven’t you just visited the hospital? And now you are going there again?”
After hearing her sarcastic comment, Xia Nuannuan immediately bit her lip.
She didn’t say a word and walked out straightaway. She hailed a cab and headed to the hospital.
When she reached the hospital, she did blood tests and check ups. After sitting down and waiting for a while, she finally got to see the results.
Xia Nuannuan frowned when she saw the figures.
The numbers were not too bad, but there was a chance of a miscarriage.
In the coming days, she would have to stay in bed and rest.
As she was thinking about this, she got the doctor to prescribe her some medication to protect her baby before going home.
However, halfway down the road, she suddenly thought of something.
If she were to return to the Shen family, she was bound to be mocked and ridiculed by Mei Feng everyday. This would cause her to be in a bad mood and might affect her baby.
It wouldn’t make much difference now if she asked Shen Zihao to come back.
Hence, she decided to hail a cab and went to her rented apartment.
When she reached home, she told her dad and mom about her situation. Mom Xia was instantly confused.
She immediately said, “Please go and lie down now. Leave the rest of the matter to me!”
Then she boiled some soup and brought her some hot water for her to take her medicine.
Xia Nuannuan felt very much better. She lay down and gradually drifted away into sleep.

At the Shen family residence.
Shen Xiu got home from work. When he was having dinner, he did not see Xia Nuannuan around, so he asked Mei Feng, “Where is Xia Nuannuan?”
His words sparked a flash in Mei Feng’s eyes. After a while, she sighed. “Gone to her parents’ place.”
Earlier on, Dad Xia had called to tell her that his daughter was unwell and would be staying with them. Her mom would be taking care of her.
His words had sounded somewhat judgemental.
Mei Feng placed her chopsticks down. “It’s my fault for not taking care of Nuannuan well. Nuannuan said that she was not feeling well, and has been frequently vomiting, so she left to her parents’ place. Her dad even called… Sigh. Forget it, let’s not talk about it anymore.”
Shen Xiu frowned upon hearing this. “Why is she so squeamish?! Isn’t feeling nauseous a common thing in pregnancy?”
He stood up after saying that.
“Send someone to go pick her up. How can she be staying somewhere else? If others were to know about this, they would think that we, the Shen family, are mistreating her.”
Mei Feng hurriedly tried to calm him down. “Well, don’t get angry. Now that her dad and mom are here, it wouldn’t be nice if the matter blew out of proportion. How about getting her dad and mom to come over to our place and discuss the issue?”
When Shen Xiu heard these words, he frowned and nodded.
Mei Feng then spoke again. “Forget it. I think we should go to their place and take a look. After all, they travelled all the way here. It is reasonable that we pay them a visit.”
“What kind of in-laws are those?”
Shen Xiu was unwilling.
“In order to give face to Zihao, we have to go. If not, tongues might wag.”
Shen Xiu nodded.
