Ling Chuxia had been vomiting and felt completely exhausted, but upon hearing that word, her hand reflexively grabbed Shi Che’s hand tightly and said, "No!" Due to fear, Ling Chuxia’s grip was so strong that her hand was even trembling unconsciously.
A trace of surprise flashed in Shi Che’s eyes. His gaze slowly shifted down to Ling Chuxia’s hand, and then he looked into her eyes, a hint of confusion and depth emerging in his.
Ling Chuxia noticed his gaze and realized that she had reacted too sensitively. Shi Che was an extremely perceptive person, and in front of him, if she wished to hide anything, she had to be extremely cautious, or else she might easily be seen through.
Her hand involuntarily released Shi Che’s hand and withdrew, her fingers slowly clenched tighter. Her eyes flickered slightly, she swallowed her saliva, and her voice still trembled a bit, "No, no need to call a doctor, I... I’m fine."
The light in Shi Che’s eyes grew slightly dim, he looked at her, his thin lips parted slightly, his voice soft yet deep, "I trust my eyes more."
Her face looked so terrible, she had been vomiting so much since early morning, how could she be alright?
Ling Chuxia’s heart sank, she knew that once she showed signs of being pregnant, it was impossible to keep the pregnancy a secret from Shi Che for long.
Although, she hadn’t planned to hide it from him, but now was not the time... If Shi Che found out she was pregnant now, everything would be ruined.
But what could she do now? She absolutely couldn’t let him call a doctor.
Ling Chuxia’s hands clenched tighter, and she tried to suppress the panic in her heart. Her dark pupils moved rapidly, and suddenly she came up with something, quickly saying, "I, I really am fine, just my stomach has been a bit upset these past days, always feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit. I’ve seen a doctor, the doctor even prescribed me some stomach medicine, and I’m fine after taking it."
After discovering she was pregnant, she thought that, just in case, she needed to prepare a backup plan. So, she bought some stomach medicine from the pharmacy, in case she accidentally vomited in front of Shi Che, she could still lie her way out.
While restraining her guilt, Ling Chuxia continued, "That medicine, I put it in that drawer over there, could you get it for me?"
Shi Che frowned slightly, glancing at Ling Chuxia, who was forcibly maintaining her composure while making eye contact with him. He looked at her for a while but didn’t say anything else, stood up, walked over, and opened the drawer which indeed had a box of medicine in it.
He picked up the box of medicine and glanced at the instructions, confirming it was for stomach issues. Holding it, he walked back to the bedside.
Just as Ling Chuxia was about to support herself to sit up, she had only gotten halfway when Shi Che reached out, supported her shoulder, helped her sit up, and then sat down beside the bed, allowing her to lean against him. Then, he poured a cup of water, opened the medicine box, and took out a pill.
Ling Chuxia reached out to take it, but he didn’t let her, instead directly bringing the pill to her lips. Ling Chuxia paused slightly, unconsciously looking up at him. Seeing his serious expression and deep gaze, her heart softened. Slowly she opened her lips and took the pill, and then Shi Che fed her the water, which she obediently drank.
Shi Che set down the water glass, glanced down at her still pale face, and his hand involuntarily caressed her cheek.
