The doctor had been in this field for many years and had seen all kinds of people. Sometimes, she could understand everything from just one expression.
Seeing Shen Yi’s pallor, the doctor quickly reassured him, "The baby is fine for now, just be careful from here on out."
Ye Wanwan’s voice suddenly carried a hint of panic, "I had a drink half a month ago, I didn’t know about the baby then."
The doctor asked, "Do you drink often?"
Ye Wanwan shook her head vigorously and vowed, "No! Only very occasionally, when I’m dining out with friends. But I can’t hold my liquor, I really only drink a tiny bit each time!"
The doctor nodded, "Then there’s nothing to worry about, as long as you’re not abusing alcohol. However, you should still abstain from drinking from now on."
"Mhm!" Ye Wanwan quickly nodded her head.
"Then there’s nothing to worry about. As for the baby’s specific condition, we’ll have to wait for the prenatal checkup in half a month to know the details," the doctor said as she handed all the paperwork back to Shen Yi.
"Remember to take folic acid on time and come back for the prenatal checkup in half a month," the doctor said, seeing how anxious the new parents were and fearing they might be too nervous to remember anything else, she couldn’t help but remind them once more.
"Okay, thank you," Shen Yi said, expressing his gratitude once again.
He was truly panicked now and immensely grateful for any sincere advice.
When Ye Wanwan and Shen Yi sat in the car on the way back, both of them looked at each other with a trace of daze in their eyes, feeling that everything was too surreal.
After a long while, Shen Yi reached out his hand, wanting to touch the baby, but as he extended it, he suddenly stopped, hesitant to touch her as if worried he might hurt the baby.
After hesitating for a while, he realized he was overthinking it—it was just a gentle touch, how could it so easily harm the baby?
Shen Yi’s hand then gently rested on Ye Wanwan’s abdomen.
Even though he felt nothing, Shen Yi felt a sudden numbness in his heart, followed by that tingling sensation spreading throughout his body, leaving him momentarily numb all over.
"Wanwan, we’re going to have a baby," Shen Yi said hoarsely, looking at Ye Wanwan solemnly.
"Mhm," Ye Wanwan nodded.
At that moment, Ye Wanwan’s eyes were still red. She bit her lip, trying hard to hold back her tears, resisting the urge to let them fall.
Reliving her life, she occasionally harbored a trace of resentment towards Shen Yi. The tragedy of her past life wasn’t solely of her making.
If Shen Yi had been as clear and open about his love for her in their past life as he was now, perhaps that tragedy wouldn’t have occurred.
But when it came to Zhouzhou, she felt only guilt.
When she was first reborn, she thought that Zhouzhou might not want to be her child again.
However, she then dreamt of a guilt-ridden Zhouzhou after her death, blaming himself for not being there for her last moments and feeling unworthy of being her son.
At that time, she just wanted to tell Zhouzhou that she didn’t blame him, and she wouldn’t dare to!
She had never fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother; she was the one unworthy of being Zhouzhou’s mother, yet after her death, she let Zhouzhou bear such guilt.
Seeing Zhouzhou in so much pain, she even regretted making that phone call to him before she died.
