"Just that the door never opened.
It took a good while before there was any noise from inside.
’Click’ the door opened.
Lu Jing was startled at the realization that this man had been waiting outside all along.
"The prescription has already been written."
The man squinted his eyes, making it clear, he hadn’t asked about that.
But Lu Jing seemed even less inclined to elaborate.
Instead, it was the old man who came out and spoke first:
"Jiang, in the future, you must treat the girl well; otherwise, the heavens will strike you with lightning!"
When the threat of lightning strikes, even a fool could guess the seriousness of the issue.
Jiang Ye’s face suddenly turned cold and stern as he asked,
"Is the situation very bad?"
Only Jiang Ye himself knew how his heart trembled when asking that question.
The old man seemed to sigh,
"It’s not the worst-case scenario, just... take good care of her, that’s all."
"Of course, but what about the specifics?"
The old man, however, was not inclined to divulge,
"The patient’s privacy, I cannot tell you. If you really want to know, wait until the girl is willing to open her heart to you!
Lad, keep up the effort!
Otherwise, I’m looking forward to having that girl as my granddaughter-in-law!"
"She is mine!" he bit out the words with heavy emphasis.
The old man simply blew his beard in response,
"What’s yours? Has she agreed? You’re far from there!"
Jiang Ye couldn’t be bothered to argue with the old man,
"If you won’t tell me her specifics, can you at least tell me when she will get better?"
"Follow the prescription I’ve written, take the medicine on time, and after two treatment cycles, we’ll see.
But a malady of the heart requires medicine of the heart.
There’s an old saying among the people: a woman’s ailment during her confinement must also be treated during her confinement!"
"I understand. I have to go now."
After all, that lass had vanished.

Jiang Ye searched everywhere, finally finding her in the car.
"Why didn’t you wait for me?"
He buckled his seatbelt as he asked.
Only then did Lu Jing lift her head and look to the side:
"Jiang Ye, why did you take me to see a doctor?"
Jiang Ye didn’t start the car and turned his head, looking earnestly at her,
For six years, the seafood you loved the most, you couldn’t eat anymore, and even slightly spicy food became intolerable. I remember that you used to eat hot pot three times a month, didn’t you?
Tell me, how blind would I have to be not to notice these things?
Besides, I’ve read that women’s bodies are often harmed by miscarriages, leading to various kinds of problems.
Lu Jing opened her mouth,
"You... looked it up?"
She asked incredulously.
Who would have thought?
The number of men who pay this much attention must be very few.
But it’s six years too late."
At the end, his eyes tight shut, his grip on the steering wheel so strong that the knuckles turned white, showing the force of it.
For a time, the car was completely silent.
Lu Jing didn’t know what to say for a long while, her eyes wide.
For someone else, it wouldn’t be much easier, a pain that went deep into the soul.
For both of them, that child was a severe blow.
Of course, it was also a lifelong regret for both.
One that could never, ever be mended.
The silence in the car was unusual, the breathing that was previously faintly audible had ceased.
After some time, a series of honks from a car behind startled them back to reality.
