YunyiYunyi
After a night of cheerfulness, Gu Qingli took Mo Ziyan to the hospital the next day to get a thorough examination done.
Since it was their first time being parents, both of them were quite excited.
But, after the examination, the couple sat inside the doctor’s office and noticed her furrow her brows, “You guys didn’t use contraception and accidentally fell pregnant, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” Gu Qingli replied. “Is there a problem, Doctor?”
“We usually recommend that young couples come for a full body check-up before having children. That way, we can guarantee the health of their child by checking if the parents have any health concerns.”
“But, both of us are relatively healthy.”
“You can’t make assumptions like that. For example, we didn’t just discover an embryo in your wife’s ultrasound, we also found a tumor in her uterus,” the doctor said as she pointed to the ultrasound results.
As soon as they heard the word ‘tumor’, both Gu Qingli and Mo Ziyan were dumbfounded.
“But, I’ve never felt anything out of the ordinary.”
“Many illnesses develop symptoms, but some don’t,” the doctor explained. “Our main priority now is to confirm the location of the tumor because it may affect the baby.”
“I just want to know if my wife’s body will…”
“Mr. Gu, don’t worry. According to current medical technology, it should be no issue removing the tumor and it’s likely benign, you don’t need to worry too much. Right now, we just need to confirm the location of the tumor and see if there are any other lumps anywhere, so we will need to do more examinations.”
“What about our child?” Mo Ziyan couldn’t help but worry about this matter.
“If we discover that the location of the tumor may trigger a miscarriage or premature birth, then you will need to consider an abortion so you can undergo treatment. You are both still young so you can have plenty of kids in the future.”
When she heard the word abortion, Mo Ziyan shook her head, “This is my child, I don’t want to give up on it.”
“Mrs. Gu, you don’t need to make a decision yet. Don’t worry.”
The couple never expected that letting nature take its course would be so frightening.
Gu Qingli wrapped his arm around Mo Ziyan’s waist and apologized, “It’s all my fault…If I had been more careful, this would not have happened.”
“Brother Four, if I insisted on letting things happen naturally, you couldn’t have done anything anyway. The issue, in the end, was that I was too reckless.”
“The situation isn’t that bad yet, OK? Let’s not overthink things and get this treated first.”
“But…”
“Listen to me,” Gu Qingli said gently.
Mo Ziyan’s mind was a blur; she never imagined that she’d have a tumor in her body. Worst of all, she didn’t discover it before but discovered it when she had a child…
“I’m scared…”
“You don’t have to be scared. I’m here,” Gu Qingli comforted. “After today’s examinations, we will go home first. After the doctor gives us a result, we will decide what to do next.”
