When Jin Nian opened her eyes, it was already noon. She screamed, “Why is it already 11 o’clock? I promised to work today. Why didn’t you wake me up?”
Lu An said softly, “You vomited last night, and you don’t look good. Don’t go to work today. I asked the driver to buy you some medicine. The doctor said that eating these won’t affect the fetus. You just have to follow the instructions.”
Lu An wanted to go out to buy medicine last night, but he was afraid that Jin Nian wouldn’t see him when she woke up, so he asked the driver to send the medicine over in the morning.
Jin Nian frowned. “The doctor said that morning sickness is normal and it will be fine in a few days. Medicine is poisonous, so it’s best not to take it.”
“But your condition is too serious. You don’t eat but keep vomiting. Your body can’t take it at all.” Lu An’s face was full of worry. He then took out the medicine and stuffed it into Jin Nian’s hands according to the instructions.
“Babe, just eat it. The doctor said it’s harmless to the child. You won’t feel so uncomfortable after eating it.” Lu An persuaded softly. Although he was looking forward to having a daughter, neither a daughter nor a son was as important to him as Jin Nian.
Under Lu An’s persuasion, Jin Nian took the pills and stuffed them into her mouth bit by bit. She gulped down a large mouthful of water and propped herself up to get out of bed.
“I have to go to work. I said I would go to the company today. They must be waiting for me.” Jin Nian made up her mind to go to work.
Lu An had no choice but to pull Jin Nian’s arm and gently say, “Niannian, can you be a little more obedient? You’ve only eaten so little since yesterday, and you’ve even vomited it all out. How can you still have the energy to go to work?”
“You can rest at home for a day first. If you’re in a better state tomorrow, you can go to work. Okay?” Lu An looked at Jin Nian pleadingly.
Originally, Jin Nian had already made an appointment to go to the company. Now that she looked at Lu An’s deep eyes, she couldn’t help but be bewitched.
It wasn’t even the next day. In the afternoon, Lu An realized that Jin Nian’s body temperature was a little high. Her whole body was pink.
“Niannian, don’t be afraid. I’ll take you to the hospital now.” Lu An immediately picked up Jin Nian and rushed out. Along the way, he kept urging the driver to drive faster.
The driver did not dare to drive too fast in the city, but he kept driving at the speed limit. When he finally reached the hospital, he was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Lu An carried Jin Nian into the hospital. However, she couldn’t use many drugs because she was pregnant. They could only temporarily lower her body temperature physically and let her take some drugs that were harmless to the fetus.
“No, no, no. I don’t take medicine.” Jin Nian’s face was filled with resistance. She was pregnant. If she took medicine recklessly, it would easily cause the child to fall sick. She did not want to take that risk.
Lu An, who was standing at the side, frowned when he looked at Jin Nian, who was in pain. He couldn’t bear this pain for her.
The two of them had just come to the hospital yesterday, and they were here again today. The doctor knew what was going on with Jin Nian, so he said, “The patient has a high fever caused by morning sickness. We should take physical measures to lower her temperature for the time being. If there’s no other way, we can only use medicine to control it.”
Lu An nodded and asked, “Doctor, how long will the morning sickness last? She didn’t feel so uncomfortable when she was pregnant with her first child. Why is it so intense this time?”
The doctor explained, “The symptoms of morning sickness vary from person to person. Just because you don’t have morning sickness the first time doesn’t mean you won’t have it the second time. Under normal circumstances, it will last for about six weeks. Since your wife’s reaction is so strong, it should last for at least another month.”
When Lu An heard this, his expression turned grave.” Then will the morning sickness cause any harm to her body? She can’t eat now but she vomits every day. If this goes on, her body won’t be able to take it.”
The doctor sighed. “If your wife’s morning sickness is too strong, we suggest terminating the pregnancy. Protecting the mother is the most important thing. If she keeps vomiting, it will cause irreversible damage to her stomach, gallbladder, and throat.”
“Of course, this is the worst-case scenario. If your wife doesn’t have morning sickness after a month, then everyone will be happy.”
Lu An nodded, but he felt heavier and heavier.
He had been accompanying Jin Nian by the bedside the whole time. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her body temperature drop bit by bit.
Jin Nian was still in a deep sleep, but Lu An’s heart was a mess. He knew that Jin Nian was looking forward to the birth of her second child, so he didn’t want to tell her the bad news.
As long as they could get through this month, Jin Nian and the child would be fine. However, Lu An didn’t dare to take the risk. He was afraid that Jin Nian’s body would be affected, and the repercussions might follow her for the rest of her life.
Lu An stayed by the bed and fell asleep unknowingly..
