626 The Secret About the Past 244 (2/2)
Mo Li stood up and exclaimed agitatedly, ”We have no idea what awaits us next. Can't we just avoid the possibility of suffering any consequences altogether? Is giving birth to a son really that important? Don't you see how several wealthy families only have one daughter for their heir? Is it really worth sacrificing our future peace and happiness because of the family bloodline!?!”
”Will you let me think through it carefully? I'll look for an opportunity to talk to Mother about this,” said Ye Xiaotian, who did not come to a decision immediately.
Staring at him, Mo Li said, ”I feel I already know the outcome.”
”…”

After basking in the sun for an entire morning, An Xiaoning headed to the gynecologist's office in the People's Hospital at two o'clock in the afternoon.
She was wearing the pretty mask.
She did not wish for her health condition to be leaked online.
Since she was an unfamiliar face, the gynecologist proceeded to tell her about her condition exactly as it was, without mincing her words.
After the checkup, the doctor took a close look at the diagnosis report of her womb, birth canal, cervix canal, and ovaries.
”How many children do you have?” asked the gynecologist.
”One.”
”How many have you aborted?”
An Xiaoning placed her hands on the table and answered after some thought, ”My uterus was severely wounded during my first pregnancy, so I've had three natural miscarriages in total. I've never aborted any intentionally.”
Staring at her calmly, the doctor answered, ”So you've had four pregnancies but only managed to give birth to one and suffered three miscarriages. You really don't take care of your body, do you?”
An Xiaoning's heart sank and she asked, ”Doctor, what do you mean…”
”Your uterus can no longer hold a fetus, so stop thinking of trying to conceive again. Even if you manage to fall pregnant by chance, you'll suffer a miscarriage in the end and possibly lose your life as well. But of course, medical technology overseas is far more advanced than what we currently have in the country. Perhaps there'll be some hope if you seek help from a prestigious doctor overseas. But I suggest you don't hold your hopes too high.”
”I don't have plans to get pregnant anyway,” An Xiaoning answered with a nod.
”That's good. Good that you've accepted it with an open mind. You already have a child anyway. Women ought to treasure themselves and their body. You're anemic. You should nourish yourself properly and nurse yourself back to health. Otherwise, you're going to suffer from ailments when you're older. I've prescribed you some medicine. I suggest you look for an experience traditional Chinese medical physician to get your pulse checked and ask for some traditional Chinese medicine to aid your condition,” the gynecologist said while scribbling with a pen.
”Alright, thank you, Doctor.” An Xiaoning proceeded to collect her medicine with the prescription slip before heading to a Chinese traditional medicine clinic.
She was again prescribed with traditional Chinese medicine.
While on her way home, she stared at the packet of medicine on the passenger's seat and said with a wry smile, ”I've already become heavily reliant on medicine at such a young age. Great.”
An Xiaoning removed her mask and chewed on some chewing gum.
Once she arrived at the entrance of the Gu family mansion, her car was stopped by the bodyguards on duty.
One of them scurried toward her car and said, ”Missy, Madam Xu is here and she's looking for you.”
”Got it.” She drove inside the mansion.
She alighted from the car with the bag of medicine. As soon as she entered the living room, she was greeted with the sight of Madam Xu sitting on the couch and having a conversation with Mrs. Gu. Both of them quickly stood up at the sight of An Xiaoning's arrival.
”Madam Xu has been waiting for you for a long time. I tried to call you but your mobile phone was switched off.” Noticing the bag of medicine in her hands, Mrs. Gu asked worriedly, ”Are you feeling unwell? Why did you buy so much medicine?”
