Li Yuan was stunned by her resolute words; all attempts to persuade her to return to Jingcheng got stuck in his throat, unable to utter a single word.
After a long while, he looked at her and firmly said, "Okay, then let’s find Jue and head back to Jingcheng together!"
Gu Qiangwei lifted her gaze, her eyes brimming with blurry tears, blurring her vision, yet she saw clearly the determination in Li Yuan’s eyes.
Li Yuan waved his hand, feeling he might cry if this sentimental moment continued!
"Don’t be polite with me, I’m afraid Sijue will fight me if I fail to protect you properly!"
After speaking, he looked at Gu Qiangwei with some concern, "However, Qiangwei, you should still come to the hospital with me, because I feel that your pregnancy is not very stable. While we look for Sijue, I don’t want anything to happen to you or the baby in your belly; otherwise, Jue will kill me!"
While protecting Gu Qiangwei and the child in her womb, Li Yuan’s expression also conveyed self-protection as he looked at her.
Gu Qiangwei lowered her head, her gaze falling on her flat abdomen, her hand gently caressing it.
This was her second child with Qin Sijue; the first one was already gone. Naturally, she didn’t want to lose the second.
She lifted her head, looking at Li Yuan, "Okay."
Seeing her agree to go to the hospital, Li Yuan also let out a sigh of relief.
Afterward, they left the hotel together and headed to the City Hospital of City C.
The examination results confirmed her fears; her pregnancy was indeed unstable, with low progesterone levels, potentially leading to abdominal pain or bleeding symptoms at any time.
Looking at the results, Gu Qiangwei’s complexion didn’t look good. She raised her eyes to the gynecologist, "Do you mean I could miscarry at any time?"
The doctor glanced at her, not as alarmed, "It’s hard to say, so it’s best to rest as much as possible during the crucial period and try to minimize movement, especially ’strenuous activity’!"
Having said that, the doctor pushed his silver-rimmed glasses and threw a sideways glance at Li Yuan!
Meeting the doctor’s gaze, especially after mentioning ’strenuous activity’, Li Yuan was utterly baffled.
What did that look mean??
"Cough, cough, I’m not her husband!"
The doctor seemed somewhat surprised, glancing at him and then at Gu Qiangwei with a look of astonishment.
Another woman abandoned by a man?
"So, do you plan on keeping the child, or not?"
The doctor suddenly asked.
Gu Qiangwei lifted her gaze, still a bit stunned.
She looked at the doctor, her expression calm, "My child, why wouldn’t I keep it?"
The doctor pursed her lips, assuming she intended to raise the child on her own.
Then she looked down and prescribed some pregnancy-supporting drugs for Gu Qiangwei, "Well, although it is a bit difficult to raise a child alone, after all, it’s still a life. I’ll prescribe some pregnancy-supporting drugs for you, take one pill twice daily, morning and evening."
Gu Qiangwei and Li Yuan were left somewhat confused by the doctor’s inexplicable words.
Afterward, Li Yuan spoke up with a hint of displeasure, "Doctor, what do you mean by ’raising alone’? It sounds like you know the child’s father has already—"
Mid-sentence, Li Yuan suddenly stopped, as if he realized something, and glanced at Gu Qiangwei.
Gu Qiangwei, who hadn’t quite understood before, couldn’t help but feel her complexion darken at his words.
Realizing he’d said something wrong, Li Yuan quickly explained, "Not at all, Qiangwei, don’t listen to the doctor’s nonsense, Jue won’t come to any harm!"
Gu Qiangwei’s face became somber, a heaviness in her chest as if a large stone was lodged there, making it difficult for her to breathe.
