Chapter 7 - Changing Medicine
After the doctor’s examination, she had already understood Su Wan’s condition. After dutifully explaining the situation, the things to take note of, and the cost, she instructed, “I’ll prescribe you some medicine for consumption. It’ll heal faster this way, okay?”
Su Wan hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Su Wan took the bill and walked out. After a while, she turned to look at Jing Chen and stood still.
Jing Chen understood and took the form from her. “Wait for me here. I’ll pay the fees.”
Su Wan gripped the form tightly. “I left my phone with the doctor. Wait for me.”
She returned to the consultation room.
The doctor had just closed the drawer when she saw Su Wan and opened it immediately. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Don’t forget such a valuable item next time.”
Su Wan received it and thanked him repeatedly.
However, she did not leave. Instead, she sat down and quickly said, “Doctor, I’m pregnant. Will there be any problems if I consume medicine?”
The doctor was stunned. When he had asked Su Wan if she was pregnant and if she had taken any other medicine earlier on, she denied it.
But when she saw that Su Wan came back alone, she immediately understood. “I’ll change it to one that is used externally.”
“Thank you, thank you, doctor,” Su Wan said gratefully.
The doctor shook her head, expressing that she understood and changed the prescription on the computer.
When they received the medicine, Jing Chen was stunned. It was such a big box!
When he took a closer look, he realized that it was actually a medicine for external use.
His brows instantly furrowed. “This doctor is too unreliable. She said that she would prescribe you medicine for consumption, but in the end, it’s one that’s applied externally.”
From the looks of it, he was going to confront the doctor!
Su Wan quickly confessed, “I got the doctor to change it to a medicine that’s applied externally. I don’t want to eat it. It’s too bitter.”
Jing Chen didn’t agree with her explanation. “You didn’t even flinch once when you were taking medicine in the past. Wasn’t I the one who was always afraid of taking medicine?”
Memories of the past surfaced in her mind.
The only medicine that was acceptable to Jing Chen was capsules because it was not bitter at all. Secondly, it had a sugar coating. He would not touch tablets no matter what.
She coaxed him for two whole days before he finally relented.
Now that her lie had been exposed, Su Wan bit her lower lip and gripped the medicine tightly. She said firmly, “I just want to use one that’s applied externally.”
“Why? What are you thinking?”
Jing Chen sized her up.
Su Wan looked at Jing Chen pitifully, the pleading in her eyes was clear.
She was afraid that if Jing Cheng went back he would find out that she was pregnant…
The consequences would be unimaginable!
Su Wan had to stop him no matter what!
Jing Chen stood at the same spot and thought for a while. He looked at her as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself. Especially when he saw how pitiful she looked, his heart softened and he suddenly thought of a reason.
“You’re going to use it as an excuse to ask me for help when you’re applying the medicine, aren’t you?”
Su Wan stared at him in astonishment, her round eyes rolling around. This was a good reason!
But it was too shameful?
But she could not think of any other reason. Her mind froze. She could not think of anything except to stop Jing Chen from going to the doctor.
She might as well just use what he had given her.
The more she thought about it, the redder her face became. She suddenly moved closer to Jing Chen and deliberately lowered her voice. “How can you say such things in public? There are so many people in the hospital…”
He had correctly guessed it?!
A trace of shock flashed in his eyes.
Ever since he mentioned divorce, Su Wan had never spoken to him in such a coquettish tone.
Not to mention such a soft voice.
Jing Chen clenched his right hand into a fist and tried to suppress his anger. He warned her in a low voice, “Don’t talk to me like that in public from now on.”
After pausing for a moment, he added worriedly, “And you’re not allowed to talk to other men like that! Understand?”
Su Wan didn’t understand and asked blankly, “When did I have another man?”
You’re the one with other women!
Jing Chen raised his eyebrows. “Just remember it. Otherwise, you’ll be at a disadvantage.”
Disadvantage?
“What sort of disadvantage?” Su Wan blinked, she could not understand the situation.
But this suddenly became unimportant.
She suddenly became excited. “You’re unable to tolerate me having contact with other men?”
Was it the thought of her speaking gently to other men,
That would make him jealous?
Jing Chen said with great confidence, “Of course.”
Su Wan was overjoyed until Jing Chen added, “You’re still my wife now. Even if you find another man, you’ll have to wait until we’re divorced to do that. Do you understand?”
“…”
