Chapter 901: Your Husband Loves You Very Much

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The middle-aged female doctor looked at Gu Zi, whose face was filled with worry, and calmly said, “Let’s talk about your symptoms. Don’t frown, young lady; life will go on day by day. It’s really not that big of a deal.”

Gu Zi thought to herself that she often said similar things to others, but facing her own difficult situation felt entirely different. The thought of being pregnant was something she simply couldn’t accept.

Taking a deep breath, she adjusted her demeanor and described her symptoms. “Lately, I’ve been feeling excessively tired and sleepy, craving sour foods, and now my period hasn’t arrived this month. This morning, I woke up feeling nauseous and dry heaving. Doctor, I think I might be pregnant.”

She hated to admit it, but the symptoms were hard to ignore. The doctor nodded, gently taking Gu Zi’s wrist to check her pulse. “Well, this does seem a bit like pregnancy, but if I’m being thorough, it could also mean you really desire to be pregnant or are deeply afraid of it.”

Gu Zi answered honestly, “I’m really scared of having a baby. I don’t want to, and I don’t need to, because my husband already has three children, and I’m perfectly content.”

The doctor, seasoned and unruffled, smiled softly. “I see. Then I can make a diagnosis. You’re experiencing a false pregnancy. This often happens to people who either desperately want a child or are particularly fearful of having one. You fit the latter category perfectly. I’ll prescribe you some medication to help, and you should be back to normal in no time.”

As the doctor spoke, she began writing a prescription. Gu Zi felt a mix of relief and disappointment at the diagnosis, and a touch of embarrassment washed over her.

Thank goodness the doctor didn’t inquire about the reason for her distress; if she had to explain that she was upset with an older man, that would only add to her awkwardness.

Gu Zi mumbled, “Doctor, could you please not tell my husband about my false pregnancy?”

The doctor shot her a knowing glance and chuckled. “I won’t spill the beans; it’s really not a big deal. But, dear, you’re still young. Always follow your heart. From what I can see, you don’t entirely reject the idea of having a child; you’re just scared. Perhaps one day you’ll change your mind—though you may not. I’m just pointing out a possibility. It’s clear to me that your husband loves you very much.”

Accepting the diagnosis and the prescription from the doctor, Gu Zi didn’t argue against her words. She couldn’t deny the truth in them. After living with Su Shen for so long, her feelings about having children had shifted, even if her fear remained.

“Thank you, Doctor!” she replied gratefully.

Before stepping outside, Gu Zi discreetly tucked the diagnosis away and held the prescription in her hand. With a bright smile, she waved at Su Shen, saying, “I’m out! It’s nothing serious. Let’s go get the medication, do a bit of shopping, and then head home. What do you think, darling?”

Su Shen let her lead the way to the pharmacy, feeling bewildered by the sudden change in her demeanor. Just moments ago, she was ignoring him, and now she was sweetly calling him “darling.” What was going on?

But he couldn’t deny that he liked the way “darling” rolled off her tongue.

He decided not to delve too deeply into the reasons behind Gu Zi’s fluctuating moods. After all, he had heard the men at the pig farm say that women’s hearts were unpredictable. They got angry for their own reasons, and they were happy for their own as well. As long as she wasn’t directing her anger at him, he was fine with her letting off steam elsewhere.

His wife’s smile was a sight he cherished, her tears were something he was willing to wipe away, and he was ready to bear her anger. Ultimately, he was determined to love her unconditionally.

Once they left the hospital, they headed straight to a large store. Gu Zi suggested, “We’ve been away from home for so long, and I feel bad for Big Yellow. Let’s pick up some dog food to make it up to him. It’ll be good for him to get some nutrition and try something different!”

Su Shen happily agreed, guiding her to the pet section.

Gu Zi pointed out the different types of dog food, while he took care of the payment. They also picked up some dental chews and toys for Big Yellow.

As Su Shen emerged from the pet section, bags in hand, passersby couldn’t help but comment, “What a world we live in! It’s like people are treating their dogs better than they treat each other. Look at all that stuff for a pet!”

“Right? I really don’t understand these young people today. It’s just a guard dog, yet they care for it like it’s a person, buying all sorts of things. I doubt they’d treat their own parents that well!”
