"That's for sure, this disease is definitely sexually transmitted," said the doctor. He then turned to San'er and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
San'er nodded mechanically, as if her soul had left her body.
"Then you better bring your boyfriend in for a checkup quickly. Since you've contracted this disease, he can't escape it either. You need to get treated together for it to work. Getting treated alone won't do any good."
"Doctor, could I have gotten this disease from my boyfriend? He's my only boyfriend."
The doctor looked at San'er with a complicated expression and said, "I don't know who infected whom. Now that you've contracted this disease, you need to start treatment as soon as possible. Otherwise, the longer you delay, the more serious it becomes and the more troublesome it gets."
San'er asked in a trembling voice, "Can this disease be cured? Will I die?"
"As long as you cooperate with the treatment, you can be cured. But if left untreated, it can lead to various complications, some of which could be life-threatening."
San'er turned pale with fear and asked again, "How long will the treatment take?"
"As long as you follow the treatment properly and don't develop complications, it should take 10 days to half a month at most. A month at the very most and you'll be cured. Don't worry too much, focus on getting better."
The doctor paused, then added, "Let me prescribe you some medication first. This disease also requires IV treatment."
"Go to the payment counter to get your medication," said the doctor as he handed San'er the prescription.
San'er took the prescription in a daze.
As soon as she stepped out of the doctor's office, San'er immediately called Huang De Han.
Huang De Han was in a meeting at the time and had his phone on silent, so he didn't hear it ring.
San'er repeatedly dialed Huang De Han's number but no one picked up.
San'er was anxious and afraid, and couldn't help but think the worst: Why won't Huang De Han answer my call? Is he trying to break up with me? Has he found another woman? Is it that woman called Xiao Xiao? It must be her, otherwise how did I get infected with this disease?
"Hmph, Huang De Han, you've infected me with this disease and now you want to dump me? Dream on!"
The more San'er thought about it, the angrier she got. She didn't even pick up her medication and took a taxi straight to Huang De Han's company.
When San'er arrived at Huang De Han's company, he had just finished his meeting. As soon as San'er saw him, she scolded, "Huang De Han, why didn't you answer my call?"
Seeing the furious San'er, Huang De Han was baffled, but still brought her into his office.
"I was in a meeting just now. What's wrong? Did you call me?"
Huang De Han quickly took out his phone and saw the many missed calls from San'er.
"I'm so sorry darling, I was really in a meeting earlier with my phone on silent. That's why I didn't get your calls. Please don't be angry, it wasn't on purpose." Huang De Han quickly explained.
In the past, this explanation from Huang De Han would have been enough for San'er to forgive him. But now, infected with gonorrhea because of him, San'er was fuming and there was no way she would forgive him so easily.
"Hmph, that's just an excuse. You just don't want to answer my calls because you want to dump me, right? Well no way!"
"Huang De Han, you heartless jerk, I was with you for five years and even got an abortion for you. And now you just want to leave me? Dream on!"
"You fooled around with other women behind my back and even infected me with gonorrhea. And now you just want to walk away scot-free? In your dreams!"
San'er unleashed a torrent of accusations and verbal abuse. Huang De Han was about to lose his temper when he heard San'er say she had contracted gonorrhea. He was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly recalled his own recent discomfort down there. He quickly asked, "What did you just say? You contracted gonorrhea?"
