Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Are You Pregnant?
Chi Enen retched violently for over twenty minutes before she finally managed to endure the tumult in her stomach.
Her complexion changed from an initial deep red due to holding back to a faint, pale look now. Because she had felt so nauseous just now, even after getting through it, Chi Enen still leaned against the washstand, gasping for breath.
When Baby Chi saw that she had finally stopped vomiting, he cautiously tugged at the hem of her skirt, extremely worried, “Mommy, are you feeling better? Should we go see a doctor?”
“Mmm…” She indeed needed to see a doctor.
This type of dry heaving, she had experienced it once before—five years ago when she was pregnant with Baby Chi…
Now, suddenly experiencing such intense dry heaving again, Chi Enen couldn’t help but doubt whether she was pregnant.
She had felt some discomfort in her stomach before this, and always thought it was just her body feeling unwell without giving it much thought. But at this moment…
Chi Enen lowered her head and touched her flat belly, pensive.
“Mommy, what are you daydreaming about? Let’s go see a doctor,” Chi Jingchen said, wishing he could whisk her off to the doctor’s for a comprehensive check-up right away.
Chi Enen was brought back to reality by his voice, hesitated for a moment, then pressed down on his shoulder, “Bae Chi, Mommy wants to ask you for a favor.”
“Don’t tell anyone about my nausea just now. Can you do that?”
Chi Jingchen didn’t understand, “Why not?”
He reacted swiftly, “Are you afraid that The Neighbor Old Wang will worry?”
Chi Enen wasn’t afraid that Li Beijue would worry, she was afraid that she really was pregnant. The current situation was definitely not a good time for a pregnancy, and if she really was pregnant, she didn’t know how to break the news to Li Beijue. After all, Li Beijue now had other women around him; she had no idea whether her being pregnant would be good news or bad news for him.
But these thoughts, Chi Enen would certainly not share with Baby Chi, not that she didn’t trust Baby Chi, but because he was too young. She didn’t want to burden him with such complex issues. So she took a deep breath, and forced a smile, “…sort of.”
“Bae Chi, can you keep this secret for me?”
“Fine, I won’t tell,” Chi Jingchen sulked but still agreed, “But you have to go see a doctor.”
Chi Enen steeled her heart and straightened up; her somewhat pale face was reflected in the large mirror above the washstand. She made up her mind, “When Uncle Huo arrives later, let him play with you for a while. Mommy will take a trip to the hospital.”
“Okay.” Chi Jingchen thought for a moment, then added, “Mommy, don’t worry about me. I can take care of myself. You make sure the doctor checks you thoroughly, and if you’re sick, take your medication…”
“Do you have any money with you?”
Chi Enen was taken aback by his question, “Ah?”
Chi Jingchen gave her an exasperated look, “Silly! Wait a moment.”
He dashed out with light, quick steps, and like a whirlwind, he rushed back in a few seconds, stuffing a bank card into Chi Enen’s hand, instructing her like a little adult, “There’s money in here, Chi Enen. You must have the doctors take a good look at you, and don’t skimp on medication because it’s expensive.”
The thin bank card in the palm of her hand felt warm, and Chi Enen felt warmth in the depths of her heart, “…okay.”
She suddenly began looking forward to the life that might be growing inside her.
If she really was pregnant, it seemed like a good thing after all.
The worst-case scenario at the moment was if Li Beijue truly had fallen out of love and found another woman.
But with Little Bun by her side, even without love, she would not be desperate. The heartache would heal over time.
