Chapter 1118 - Fatal Blow (2/2)

Cold sweat covered Xia Yanran’s hands as she stared without blinking at the doctor, saying with a tight throat, “Doctor, is there something wrong with me?”

She didn’t realize earlier, but now that she was thinking about it carefully, a s.h.i.+ver ran up her spine.

The doctor flipped through the results, only saying after a while, “From your results, your womb is slightly smaller and is only two-thirds of that of the normal people. Also, the inner membrane of your womb is three centimeters. It is too thin, so it’ll be hard for you to get pregnant. Furthermore, even if you did get pregnant, it would be hard to keep the baby.”

No…

As Xia Yanran listened to the doctor’s words, her ears rang. In that one second, everything seemed to disappear around her. She stood alone in a deserted plain, cold wind blowing at her from all around, making her s.h.i.+ver terribly from the pain.

“Miss Xia, Miss Xia…”

Someone kept calling her nonstop. Xia Yanran regained her senses, her pale lips s.h.i.+vering terribly as she felt extremely cold. Cold sweat covered her forehead like she had been brought out from the water. “Doctor, do you mean that I can never get pregnant?”

Xia Yanran never thought about it in this way. If she didn’t come with Xiao Yi, she would have never come for a checkup alone.

During that morning at Bardahl, she even told him that she wanted to have children with him.

Now, all of it seemed to be a joke.

She couldn’t have children!

Staring at how lost and soulless Xia Yanran looked, the doctor got up and gave her some water. “Miss Xia, don’t be too sad. With how advanced medicine is now, you can try test-tube babies or get a surrogate mother if you want children.”

Xia Yanran’s eyes were covered in tears. “I don’t want to.”

“The fertilized egg that surrogate mother will have would still belong to your boyfriend and you.”

“I know you can have a child that way, but I don’t want to use another woman’s womb.” If that was the case, she would rather not have any children.

The doctor stared at the agitated Xia Yanran, sighing softly. “I’ll give you some medicine that you can take for a while and we will see if it can correct your situation.”

Xia Yanran nodded with trembling lips.

…

Xiao Yi waited outside for nearly twenty minutes. Seeing that Xia Yanran wasn’t out yet, he was about to call her when he saw her walking out slowly.

He moved forward and caressed her hair. “Why? What’s wrong?”

Xia Yanran’s chest was terribly stuffy. How was she going to tell Xiao Yi? She could tell that he liked children and wanted to have a lovechild with her.

She could bear to see the disappointment in his eyes.

He might not say anything for now, and might even comfort her. But what about later?

In the past ten years, with them separating and getting back together many times, he still had some interest in her. However, once their relations.h.i.+p was promoted from love to kins.h.i.+p, they needed a child to grow the responsibility and feelings between them.

However, she couldn’t have a child. He wouldn’t even have the chance to be a father.

A dull pain spread within Xia Yanran’s heart. She didn’t know how to say and didn’t know how to face it either.

What was she doing to do? What would they do? She felt extremely clueless, helpless and scared.

Seeing that Xia Yanran wasn’t speaking, Xiao Yi grabbed her hand, furrowing his eyebrows when he found that her hands were slightly cold. “What’s wrong, Yanran?”

Xia Yanran glanced at Xiao Yi, breaking out into a bright smile suddenly as she poked her tongue out at him. “Haha, were you scared?”

Xiao Yi froze for a second before he realized what was happening and pulled her into his arms. “You were scaring me?”

“Yes, I wanted to see what your reaction would be like if there was something wrong with me.”

Xiao Yi patted her perky b.u.t.t twice. “Don’t scare me like this in the future.”

Xia Yanran pressed her face against his chest, looking down to hide her sparkling tears. “Got it!”
