Chapter 441: Revised: Chapter 453 Why is Ouyang Hao in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department?
The ingredient in the miscarriage prevention injection is oil, which is not easily absorbed by the body; the nurse had to push it into her body bit by bit. Lin Yixun used to be most afraid of injections; whenever she had a cold, she would take medicine whenever possible and never get an injection.
Every time she received a miscarriage prevention injection, it felt infinitely long. But at the thought of her baby being safe, she endured it. The man saw all of this; he naturally realized that Lin Yixun had decided to accept this child.
This outcome was something he had never dreamt of. For this, he breathed a long sigh of relief. Yet every time he saw Lin Yixun in pain during the injection, he felt immense heartache and guilt.
Initially, he shouldn’t have lost his temper at Lin Yixun; otherwise, she wouldn’t have suffered so much.
A month later, Lin Yixun’s indicators finally returned to normal, and she returned to the Half Mountain Villa. However, this time, her mindset had changed a bit.
She was no longer as despondent and hopeless as before. The child in her belly gave her new hope; she thought she might start her life anew for her child’s sake.
However, giving birth to this child meant that from now on, she would be further entangled with Leng Yixiu. But Lin Yixun did not want this man to be part of her future life.
The rift between her and Leng Yixiu could never be repaired. No matter what Leng Yixiu did, whether the child existed or not, she could never love him again.
And Leng Yixiu, without the child’s existence, was already so persistent; if the child were born, it would be even more impossible to let her go. Even if he promised to let her go, he would never let go of the child. This outcome was naturally not what Lin Yixun wanted.
So, there was only one road ahead for her: to escape from here.
At the moment, her body had just recovered, and though the child was barely saved, there was still the possibility of danger. She did not dare gamble her child’s life for her own freedom.
She thought, for now, she would wait until the child was completely out of danger before considering leaving. During this period, she had to plan carefully. After all, Leng Yixiu’s power was incomparable to before. If her plans were not thorough, she could fail completely. If she failed once, escaping again would be impossible.
In the days that followed, Lin Yixun was no longer hysterical as she had been. Compared to before, her state of mind was much calmer. Even when facing Leng Yixiu, she never lost her temper, although her attitude towards him remained indifferent.
Every week, Cen Lin would come to the Half Mountain Villa to perform a routine check-up on her. Of course, for some more complicated inspections, she still had to go to the hospital in person. Over time, she became familiar with Cen Lin.
Cen Lin’s personality was bold and vigorous, a bit like how she used to be. Lin Yixun began to open up, and her relationship with Cen Lin gradually became closer.
Although Cen Lin was young, her medical skills were excellent. After more than a month of recuperation at the Half Mountain Villa, Lin Yixun felt that her body had improved significantly.
"The baby is doing great, don’t worry," Cen Lin said with a smile.
"Thank you."
"Why thank me? This is my duty as a doctor. Besides, Leng Yixiu paid a hefty sum to invite me here. My daily earnings are not small; you’re now my big benefactor."
Lin Yixun was amused by her exaggerated expression and suddenly envied her a little. She lived worry-free, crying when she wanted to cry, laughing when she wanted to laugh, cursing when she wanted to curse. If someone angered her, she would scold them regardless, even if they were the Heavenly King.
"I’ve prescribed some blood-building and calcium supplements for you. Start taking them," Cen Lin said, getting up from the sofa. "I have a surgery scheduled at the hospital, so I’ll head back now. The dosage and daily intake are written on the prescription; follow the instructions."
"Okay." Lin Yixun nodded, wanting to get up and see her off, but Cen Lin stopped her.
"No need to see me off. You’re a rare commodity now. If your man finds out I let you see me to the door, he might come after me."
The man Cen Lin referred to was, of course, Leng Yixiu. She regretted it as soon as she said it, knowing Lin Yixun’s disdain for Leng Yixiu.
Sure enough, she saw the smile on Lin Yixun’s face gradually fade. But compared to before, the hate in Lin Yixun’s eyes wasn’t as intense.
As Leng Yixiu’s friend, Cen Lin was pleased with this outcome. She understood Leng Yixiu’s deep feelings for his ex-wife. She thought perhaps, one day, Leng Yixiu might actually succeed through sheer perseverance.
However, she couldn’t predict the timeline—maybe a year, maybe ten years, perhaps a lifetime. Observing Lin Yixun’s temperament, she believed Leng Yixiu still had a long way to go.
Actually, Cen Lin’s observation was accurate. The relationship between Lin Yixun and Leng Yixiu had indeed improved significantly. They could even share a meal peacefully at the same table, something almost impossible before.
Knowing that pregnant women have shallow sleep, Leng Yixiu was very careful while sleeping. He would almost cling to the edge of the bed, not daring to turn over at night, fearing he might disturb Lin Yixun and the baby.
Lin Yixun noticed these actions. Even a heart as hard as iron would be somewhat moved. But besides being moved, she felt a deeper sense of heartache.
She had loved Leng Yixiu passionately for seven years. A single glance from him would make her happy for an entire day. If Leng Yixiu had behaved like this from the beginning, she would have been willing to die for him.
But her girlish dream had been shattered by this man.
Now, her heart was already in pieces. No matter what Leng Yixiu did or how well he did it, her heart could never return to its original state.
In a flash, another three months passed. Lin Yixun’s morning sickness had completely disappeared, and her once-flat belly had started to swell. Although her belly was still small compared to other pregnant women at the same stage, it was finally showing.
The baby was already six months old and was about to undergo their first major examination—the detailed ultrasound. On the night before the ultrasound, Lin Yixun couldn’t sleep, tossing and turning.
Other people’s babies started moving by four months, but she still hadn’t felt anything. She worried that something might be wrong with her baby.
On this day, Lin Yixun got up early. Due to her special status, she didn’t have to wait in line for the ultrasound. However, the baby was very uncooperative, and it took three attempts to capture images of all its organs.
"Doctor, how is my baby? Is everything okay?"
"Miss Lin, all the baby’s organs are normal. There’s no need to worry."
The doctor’s words gave Lin Yixun immense relief. As she left the ultrasound room, she saw Leng Yixiu waiting anxiously at the door.
"How is the baby?"
"The baby is fine, everything’s great." Lin Yixun smiled faintly. This was the first time she had smiled at Leng Yixiu.
They left the ultrasound department. Because of the child, they were both in a good mood. There was even a fleeting moment when the gap between them seemed to have lessened significantly.
But this harmony didn’t last long. As they passed the obstetrics department, they unexpectedly ran into an "old acquaintance" at the entrance.
Lin Yixun’s heart felt like it had been struck hard. She stared blankly at the tall figure not far away, unable to move her feet for a long time.
