He Xiyan’s eyes suddenly widened. The doctor’s news hit like a bolt from the sky to her.

“Doctor, will I be able to keep the child?” She gripped the doctor’s hands tightly and her palms were full of cold sweat since she was both anxious and afraid.

She didn’t want to lose her child, no!

The doctor sighed, a little conflicted. She could not make the call right now because the situation did not look good right now.

“You should consult the doctor who tended to you earlier,” the doctor said as she handed the ultrasound scan results to He Xiyan and decided not to answer her question.

He Xiyan returned to the consultation room holding the results of the ultrasound scan while Ye Hao held the blood test results he just collected moments earlier.

The data on both slips of paper were not great. The blood test results showed that her HCG levels were less than 10,000 while her progesterone was very low at 17.5.

“Don’t worry...” Ye Hao patted his wife’s shoulder. He was equally anxious but he believed that his child would not be that weak.

The attending physician’s expression turned serious when he read the result slips.

He looked at this young couple and asked, “Are you sure you want to keep the child?”

“Of course.” He Xiyan and Ye Hao answered in unison, their hands tightly intertwined.

“Alright,” the doctor nodded and continued, “But I’ll have to warn you that the early signs of miscarriage are evident right now so there’s only a 50% chance that you’ll be able to keep the child. You must also arrange to be admitted into the hospital and I’ll need you to stay in the hospital in the week to monitor your condition. If the results look good after a week, you may be discharged but must remain in bed to protect the fetus for another one to two week. During this period, with the exception when you need to go to the toilet, eat or wash up, you should remain in bed the rest of the time.”

He Xiyan felt more reassured at the doctor’s words. At least her baby was still alive.

The hospital arranged for her to stay in the best VIP room and the ward was like a one-bedroom studio apartment and came equipped with an en-suite kitchen and bathroom.

Ye Hao carried He Xiyan into the room, then carefully tucked the blankets around her.

Many families have started to ring in the Lunar New Year and they could hear the festive Lunar New Year songs, firecrackers and fireworks but they would have to spend the lunar new year’s in a cold and unfeeling hospital ward.

“Yan Yan, rest well. I’ll go to the dining area to have a look and grab something for you to eat.”

Ye Hao gently took her hand in his. He tried his best to hide it but the guilt was clear in his eyes.

This was all his fault. He shouldn’t have brought her to Pear Garden and he shouldn’t have come either. He wasn’t thoughtful enough and failed to protect her.

He Xiyan’s lips pursed slightly and she smiled faintly. She knew that he must be feeling guilty even though he had not verbally expressed it but she did not blame him. She hadn’t expected his relatives to be even worse than the Mo family.

“Off you go then, I’m starving,” He Xiyan rubbed her belly. It was practically empty inside.

Ye Hao tasked a female nurse to look after He Xiyan, then he headed toward the dining area of the hospital. The dining area wasn’t big and the food that was sold in that place was simple and light meals. He bought a bowl of millet congee, two buns and several lightly seasoned appetizers. These were all food suitable for pregnant women and as for himself, he was not in the mood to eat.

After she had an emergency injection to protect the fetus, He Xiyan felt that her stomach didn’t hurt as much as it did before. Nonetheless, she didn’t dare to let her guard down and exercised extreme caution when she had to turn her body. This was not her first child but her constitution had been much better when she was carrying Yuan Yuan and she didn’t have very strong morning sickness so she could still go to work. This time though, her uterus had yet to recover from her previous pregnancy and her body had become weak because she had overworked herself these few months. It wasn’t the right time for her to fall pregnant with her second child but she was now pregnant.
