Chapter 457: Testing
“Ming, does Xiaomeng have any health problems?” Mother He asked directly, her chest tightening with anger.
“No, she’s fine. Did she mention any discomfort?” He Ming was puzzled by Mother He’s question.
“Silly child, if she had any intention of holding onto you, why would she tell you about her health issues?” Mother He sighed.
“Mom, trust me, Xiaomeng is not that kind of person. She is kind and wouldn’t lie to me,” He Ming felt helpless against his mother’s bias.
“Not lie to you? Then did she tell you about her visit to the hospital today?” Mother He couldn’t help but reveal.
“What? Xiaomeng went to the hospital? What happened to her?” He Ming hastily asked. Xiaomeng indeed hadn’t told him about this today; he had thought she was at home all along.
“How would I know what’s wrong with her? I asked the doctor, but they said it’s confidential. I went to the hospital for a check-up today and saw her picking up medication,” Mother He felt that she needed to tell He Ming the truth. She knew her son’s character very well; he was stubborn.
“I’ll go back and ask her again.” He Ming saw that Mother He didn’t have any objections and that his father would be back soon. He decided to leave.
Because he was worried about Xiaomeng’s condition.
Mother He had long anticipated his reaction and didn’t stop him, letting him go back and find out the truth.
When He Ming returned home, he found Ye Xiaomeng resting. He walked over and gently kissed her.
Xiaomeng immediately woke up and sat up straight.
“Why did you finish work so early today?” Xiaomeng glanced at the clock. Normally, he would still be at the office at this time.
“Nothing special, so I came back early,” He Ming replied, giving her a hug.
Ye Xiaomeng nodded.
“Why are you still sleeping at this hour? Are you feeling unwell?” He Ming noticed Xiaomeng’s tired expression and pretended not to know what was going on, asking casually.
“Yeah, feeling a bit tired,” Xiaomeng replied groggily.
“Xiaomeng, a friend saw you going to the hospital today. What’s wrong? You have to tell me,” He Ming asked directly, as Xiaomeng didn’t seem inclined to share the information herself.
Xiaomeng’s heart skipped a beat.
Well, might as well tell him.
“He Ming, I need to tell you something,” Xiaomeng said solemnly. Seeing her serious expression, He Ming had a bad feeling.
‘What is it?” He Ming’s voice was low.
“The doctor said it’s very difficult for me to get pregnant,” Xiaomeng said, looking at He Ming to gauge his reaction.
A hint of disappointment and shock flashed in He Ming’s eyes, but he quickly composed himself.
“Don’t worry, doctors can sometimes be wrong in their assessments, and with the advances in medicine today, many difficult conditions can be treated. We’ll figure it out,” He Ming reassured her.
Xiaomeng’s mood suddenly sank. He couldn’t accept the fact that she might have difficulty getting pregnant and was avoiding facing it.
“But what if it can’t be treated? What if I can never get pregnant?” Xiaomeng voiced the worst-case scenario. Although the doctor said it wasn’t a big problem, the uncertainty of getting pregnant was real. So, she wanted to see how He Ming would react.
“If that’s the case, then it just means that it’s not meant to be. We’ll spend the rest of our lives together, just the two of us,” He Ming understood her concerns and firmly held her hand, making a determined promise..
