At the City Hospital.
Enna Clark registered for the Gynecology Department and waited an hour before it was finally her turn.
“Numbers 69 and 70, come in.”
Enna was number 70, and she got up and went into the clinic.
The female doctor in the clinic was the most famous Head of Gynecology in the City Hospital. After finishing with number 69, she called out without raising her head, “Number 70, come sit.”
Enna took a seat on the small chair next to her.
“What’s your concern?”
“I want to check if I’m pregnant.”
Doctor lifted her head, glanced at her, and asked indifferently “Did you take a pregnancy test before coming?”
“How long has it been since your last menstruation?”
Menstruation… she hadn’t paid attention to that. It seemed like she hadn’t had her period since last month. At that time, she thought her hospitalization due to an injury had caused her period to be irregular and didn’t take it to heart. But she wasn’t sure exactly when it stopped, “…Last month.”
The female doctor was a little impatient, “Last month? You don’t know when you stopped menstruating?”
“Something happened, and I can’t remember clearly.”
The female doctor didn’t say anything else, “Go get a blood test. Bring the results back to me.”
“Alright. Thank you, doctor.”
She gave Enna a test form, and Enna took it to the blood test center.
The hospital was busy, and even a simple blood test took 20 minutes.
Moreover, the smell of blood filled the air. Normally, she wouldn’t feel anything, but now she felt a bit suffocated and nauseous.
Those 20 minutes felt even longer than two days. After Enna got the test result, she went outside for some fresh air, feeling better, and returned to the gynecologist to give her the form.
The experienced female doctor glanced at the form, raised her head, and said to her, “Congratulations, you’re pregnant.”
“Your child is almost 2 months old, and your hormone levels are normal. However, you’re a little malnourished recently. Pay attention to it, let your husband buy you some old hen soup to replenish your nutrition. I’ll also prescribe some calcium pills for you to take daily.”
Enna didn’t hear anything after that, just the first sentence, ‘Congratulations, you’re pregnant!’
She instinctively looked down at her flat belly, feeling incredulous.
An indescribable joy welled up inside her. She touched her belly, unable to suppress her smiling lips, and stood up to thank the doctor, “Thank you, thank you, doctor.”
There were at least eighty or a hundred women who came to the hospital to check for pregnancy daily, and the doctor had seen all walks of life. She calmly reminded Enna, “Pay attention to your diet and rest during pregnancy, and don’t get too tired. Also, remember to tell your husband that you shouldn’t have intercourse during the first three months and the last three months before giving birth. Strenuous exercise can easily lead to miscarriage.”
While the doctor spoke calmly, Enna listened with blushing cheeks, “Thank you, doctor.”
The female doctor prescribed her a few bottles of vitamins and waved her off without raising her head, “Alright, go out and ask the nurse outside to call the next patient.”
Enna left with her bag, conveyed the doctor’s message to the nurse, went to the pharmacy to get her vitamins, and then called a taxi to take her back to Bauhinia Garden.
