"Isn't there a way to make her feel better? She should be given injections, and she should be given medicine. She can't keep vomiting like this, right? She's already like this, aren't you doctors going to take care of her?"
Su Chen looked at Ji Zitong's pale and haggard face. His handsome eyebrows were furrowed as he asked the doctor in a deep voice.
The doctor looked at Ji Zitong again and quickly shifted his gaze to Su Chen. He adjusted his slightly droopy eyes and spoke in a less courteous tone—
"Do you think it's easy for a woman to carry a child for ten months? If you take medicine and injections now, it will affect the baby. Have some folic acid or some biscuits for pregnant women to see if it helps. Be careful of foods that should be abstained from the diet. As long as she can still eat, it'll be fine. Boil some light soup and try some millet porridge..."
The doctor then instructed seriously.
Ji Zitong also felt dizzy and did not have much strength. The doctor later gave Ji Zitong a packet of salted soda biscuits and told her to try chewing on some.
Ji Zitong did as he said and it stopped. She felt better after a while.
"It seems that she can still have this, you can buy some for her to try. The food at home should be less flavorful and lighter. It's fine, after the first three months, she might not have such an intense reaction anymore."
"Okay, thank you, doctor, I feel better now."
Ji Zitong's face was pale as she thanked the doctor weakly.
"Okay. When we get back, you can prepare the food I told you about, like grapes and apples, it's good for your health. Pay attention to your rest. Don't stay at home all day, go out for a walk and breathe in some fresh air. It's also very important to maintain a happy mood."
The doctor reminded her again.
"Okay, thank you!"
At this moment, Su Chen helped Ji Zitong out of the clinic.
It was almost five o'clock when they left the hospital. The October morning was not like the previous months, the sky was bright so early. At this moment, the entire city was still very quiet and immersed in a dream.
Ji Zitong was also a little sleepy now, but she still forced herself to open her eyes to look at the street outside the car window.
There were already more and more cars. The people who woke up to get breakfast or groceries had already begun to move about.
"If you're tired, sleep for a while. I'll wake you up when we get home."
Su Chen was still quite energetic. When he subconsciously turned his head to look at Ji Zitong and saw her haggard appearance, his heart ached a little. He thought about it and said, "It's been hard on you. If you really can't take it anymore then forget it, we can try again in another one or two years."
"You don't want our child?"
Hearing his words, Ji Zitong immediately stroked her flat belly and looked at Su Chen uneasily, "Do you not want it?"
"What nonsense are you thinking? I'm already so old, of course I want a child. I'm just worried that your body can't take it. If it really continues like this for a few months, is that something that a person can take? I haven't seen sister like this before either, but your reactions are so intense? It's obvious that your body isn't strong enough. If you can't take it, then you can take these two years to recuperate first," Su Chen took the time to explain.
Hearing this, Ji Zitong heaved a sigh of relief. Her heart eased up a little. After a moment of silence, she replied, "It's fine. I can take it, don't worry."
"You already look so pale and yet you say you're fine. I didn't know that you'd have to endure such pain, otherwise, I would have..."
Su Chen's handsome face was filled with silence, and his gaze seemed profound.
"Did you really think it was that easy? My mother was like this when she was pregnant with me. But after that, she was much better, don't worry," explained Ji Zitong.
"You should rest well. I'm not that busy at the moment, so I can accompany you for a walk from time to time, we can stroll around nearby places. It's autumn now, and the maple leaves in Maple Hill should be red by now. I'll bring you there to take a look when you feel better in a few days."
Su Chen thought for a moment and reached out with his large hand. He gently held her slightly cold little hand and held the steering wheel steadily with the other hand.
The familiar warmth made Ji Zitong's heart feel snug. She quietly lowered her head and silently looked at the large hand that held her's. After some thought, she gently placed her other hand on it, and then placed his hand on her belly—
"I will definitely give birth to them safely. I am... very much looking forward to its arrival. This way, we will have one more relative. If It's a boy, we will raise him to be a man like you. If It's a girl, we will dress her up well and let her be a carefree and happy princess."
As Ji Zitong spoke, her bright eyes flickered with a faint light. It was easy to spot the anticipation in her eyes.
Su Chen glanced at her and naturally saw the excitement in her eyes. His handsome face instantly softened, and his tone became gentler, "Of course, if it's a girl, she would definitely be as beautiful and heroic as you. My daughter would definitely be very outstanding."
Ji Zitong pursed her lips and chuckled. "Are you going crazy thinking about your daughter? I remember Chairman Mu and Xiaye were also thinking about giving birth to a daughter, but..."
"He, Mu Yuchen, is only suitable to give birth to sons. He already has two sons. If he wants to have another one, it'll definitely be a son again. He's not fated to have a daugther," said Su Chen seriously.
However, even though he said that, he still hoped that his wish would come true.
Xi Xiaye's health was severely affected when she gave birth to Mu Zicheng. The chances of her being pregnant again were not high. She had been busy recuperating lately. If it was effective, giving birth to a daughter as she wished would naturally be best. Mu Yuchen liked daughters just like him. Zhou Zimo should be the same too. He wondered if there was any progress between him and Qin Su. It had been a few days since he made a sound, he did not know what he had been busy with recently.
Because Ji Zitong's pregnancy had not been going well lately, Zhou Zimo did not bother Su Chen anymore. Instead, he went to look for Mu Yuchen.
Ji Zitong pursed her lips and smiled when she heard him. "If Chairman Mu and the others heard you, I wonder what would happen."
"What can they do? Mu Yuchen can't beat me. When it comes to fighting, Mu Yuchen, Zhou Zimo, and Qi Lei altogether would probably be able to fight me to a draw. Do you think my position as the big brother is for nothing?" Su Chen said coolly.
Ji Zitong smiled without a word...
