170 I Want a Divorce 8 (2/2)

The Jin family, who had disapproved of Shi Shaochuan right from the beginning, were cross at the sight of him.

An Xiaoning basked in the sun while leaning against a chair in the backyard. Holding her phone in her hand, she began scrolling through news reports of the wedding.

She paused the news video she was watching at the instant that she caught a glimpse of Jin Qingyan on the screen.

In the video, he appeared to have lost some weight, evident from his now-sunken cheeks. Clad in a bespoke suit, he stood there with a blank expression on his face, not giving away any clues of his true emotions.

An Xiaoning set her phone aside and closed her eyes while giving her legs a huge stretch. The warm rays of the sun shone down on her, as if it were a pair of warm hands, gently caressing her face.

Every now and then, she would be reminded of her conversation with the gynecologist who operated on her.

”Doctor, since my womb was ruptured in the process of getting stabbed and I even suffered a miscarriage, will I still have a chance to conceive in the future?”

”Mrs. Jin, based on your condition, you will still recover gradually if you take extra care of it.”

”I'd like to hear the truth.”

”I'm speaking nothing but the truth, Mrs. Jin. Don't worry, you'll still be able to conceive in the future, as long as you take good care and nourish yourself with the right supplements. It shouldn't be a problem.”

”Alright, thank you.”

An Xiaoning opened her eyes all of a sudden, only to be momentarily blinded by the striking rays of the sun. She sat up and returned inside her house, after which she took out the human mask she had purchased.

”Sis, where are you going?” asked Mei Yangyang, upon seeing that An Xiaoning was headed for the door.

”I'm going out for a short while, I'll be back soon.”

”What would you like to buy? I'll get it for you, or I'll accompany you instead,” said Mei Yangyang as she placed the broom aside and walked towards her.

”Yangyang, I'll be back real soon. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Look, I have this. Can't recognize me, eh?” An Xiaoning answered as she put the mask on, which shocked Mei Yangyang greatly.

”Yes…”

”Wait for me at home, I'll be back in a bit.” An Xiaoning removed the mask and exited the door.

Still feeling a little worried, Mei Yangyang hurriedly chased after her and said, ”Sis, call me if anything happens.”

”Alright.”

Since An Xiaoning did not get Gu Beicheng to send his bodyguards, the ones standing by the entrance at the hospital, whom she then asked to leave, had belonged to Jin Qingyan.

It was not that she was brave; rather, she found that it would not be appropriate to have Jin Qingyan's men following her around. Besides, she would be carrying out her task while wearing the mask, which meant no one could recognize her true identity at all.

After walking a distance, An Xiaoning hailed a taxi and arrived at another public hospital in the city.

She headed to the gynecological clinic again for another checkup.

Having used a false name and age, no one could tell that she was An Xiaoning.

Thus, the doctor was straightforward and frank about the results of the checkup.

”After looking at the test report, I've found that you were stabbed in a critical spot, right smack in the middle of your womb. Thus, the damage done will be permanent. In addition, scarring had developed at the spot where fertilized eggs are to be embedded, which means it'll be hard for you to get pregnant again, though it's also entirely possible that you may no longer conceive at all. In such cases, you'd have to be very careful throughout the entire course of pregnancy, should you manage to become impregnated. You'll have to ensure that you're in a constant good mood, rid of any negative feelings or emotions, and take your medicine regularly. As long as you stick to that, there may still be a chance for you to conceive.”

”Thank you, Doctor,” An Xiaoning thanked the gynecologist before standing up to leave with the report in her hands.

At this point, An Xiaoning knew for sure that she would never have the chance to conceive again for the rest of her life, since the gynecologist was merely trying to make her condition sound more optimistic.

It was right to get a divorce, after all, she thought to herself with a lopsided smile.

Standing by the entrance of the hospital, she stared at the passing cars and pedestrians on the road, unable to restrain her emotions as tears began to stream down her face.
