Chapter 442: If It Is Not Fated, Don’t Force It (2)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Having children also depended on fate. After years of no results despite having sought so many physicians, Chang Hong and Chai Le had chosen to leave it up to chance.
It would be best to have children, but if they could not, they wouldn’t force it. It was fine as long as the two of them could live out their lives peacefully.
When the Third Prince arranged for them to come to care for Xie Jun, they were more than willing to do so.
Moreover, Xie Jun was obedient. It was difficult to find someone who disliked him.
When Zhao Chuchu saw the pampering look on Chang Hong’s face when the latter looked at Xie Jun, she knew that the latter really liked children.
They had not been with the Xie clan for long, and Zhao Chuchu was also busy, so she did not have time to inquire more about their situation.
Now that she had time to look carefully, Zhao Chuchu noticed that Chang
Hong’s body had some issues that made it difficult for the latter to conceive.
Xie Heng had said that in his previous life, the Third Prince had also arranged for this couple to protect Xie Jun and that they were always loyal to him.
Zhao Chuchu waited for Chang Hong to finish cleaning up before inviting her to the medicine room.
“Sister Hong, do you like children?” Zhao Chuchu asked without beating around the bush. She intentionally asked, “You and Brother Le have been married for quite some years, right? Did you two decide not to have children?”
Upon hearing this, Chang Hong’s smile disappeared as she replied, “In the past, our situation did not allow us to have children. Now, we are not able to have children anymore.”
“You have many old injuries, which affects your chances of getting pregnant.
You appear healthy, but in reality, your old injuries are still taking hold of your body.”
“I know, but I have tried my best to recover. It might not be my fate to get pregnant. We don’t want to force it.”
Chang Hong and Chai Le used to do the dirty work for the Third Prince in secret. After suffering severe injuries, they stopped working as secret agents. They became an ordinary couple and continued to work for the Third Prince.
“Then do you still want to have children now?
Chang Hong was stunned. She looked at Zhao Chuchu in disbelief.
She had long known that Zhao Chuchu was Doctor Miracle. However, when she finally met Zhao Chuchu, she discovered the latter was so young. She had doubts about the latter’s ability.
After all, she and Chai Le were living in the north before this.
“If you wish to have children, I can help you to prepare your body for pregnancy,” said Zhao Chuchu. “However, my condition is that both of you must never betray us. Otherwise, I can make you lose everything just like I can make you have children.”
Chang Hong knelt and said, “Chai Le and I are already servants of the Xie clan. Our hearts will be with the Xie clan for the rest of our lives. If I go against my word today, we will both die miserable deaths!”
“Sister Hong, please get up,” said Zhao Chuchu as she helped the former up. “All your problems are old internal injuries. If we want to cure them completely, we will need at least half a year.”
With her healing power, she could heal Chang Hong completely immediately.
Her internal injuries paled into insignificance when compared to the injuries suffered by Zhao Chuchu’s companions in her previous life.
However, she did not plan to use her powers. She also planned to use this opportunity to observe Chang Hong and Chai Le thoroughly.
“Mrs. Xie, are you serious?
“I never lie when I claim I can cure someone. If I say I can’t cure a person, there’s an 80% chance I’m lying.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Xie.”
Chang Hong was so emotional that she knelt again.
Zhao Chuchu was really not used to people constantly kneeling before her. She could only stop her and say, “Sister Hong, if you kneel like this again, consider our deal void.”
“Sorry, Mrs. Xie. I am just too emotional.”
“Sit down. Let me check your pulse.”
Only then did Chang Hong remember that Zhao Chuchu had yet to check her pulse. Even so, the former had already accurately described her condition. It was apparent that Zhao Chuchu’s medical skills were extraordinary.
After Zhao Chuchu checked Chang Hong’s pulse, she asked Chang Hong to call
Chai Le over.
“But he should be fine, shouldn’t he?”
“I will only know after I check him. Not being able to conceive is not entirely the woman’s fault.”
“Then I’ll go call him.”
When Chai Le heard Chang Hong claim that Zhao Chuchu could help them have children, he waltzed over without hesitation. He did not act indignant at all.
Just as Zhao Chuchu suspected, Chai Le’s body also had some issues. However, his condition was better than Chang Hong’s. He should recover within a month or two.
Zhao Chuchu issued each of them a medical prescription and instructed them on concocting and consuming the medicines. Then, she told Chang Hong, “Sister Hong, it’s not sufficient for you to consume medicine alone. You need to soak in medicinal baths and undergo acupuncture too. We need to unclog the clogged meridians in your body.”
“I will do as you say.”
She was willing to consume medicine for a year as long as she could give birth. Acupuncture was not a problem for her.
She did not fear even death. How scary could acupuncture be?
“I have all the herbs needed for the medicinal bath in the house. You can pick them out according to the prescription.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Xie,” said the couple gratefully.
“That will be all. You can leave now. You can start taking medicinal baths from tomorrow onwards, together with acupuncture. Rest early tonight. Otherwise, Sister Hong, you might be unable to withstand it tomorrow.”
“I will be able to handle it..”
