NOVEL NEXT Chapter 152 - Body Check Again
Gu Yuehuan clarified, “It's not solely due to the matter with the mother. I'm currently unable to conceive. I always believed I was healthy, but the doctor conveyed otherwise. However, something feels amiss.”
“What is it?”
Gu Yuehuan intended to share this with him, but found herself at a loss for words. Despite consulting the doctor, she harbored skepticism and planned another examination in a couple of days.
She was concerned that perhaps the diagnosis was inaccurate, or due to the limitations of this small place, the medical examination was unable to discern the truth. She desired to seek answers in a larger city.
The town was too confined, potentially impacting the accuracy of the check-up, hence her desire to explore options in a larger city at a reputable health center. Should a genuine issue exist, she'd come to terms with it.
Currently, being at a mere sanatorium made her somewhat reluctant.
Even though Gu Yuehuan didn't yearn for a child at the moment, she longed for motherhood in the future. Unwilling to face a life devoid of children, she sought advanced medical opinion, hoping for a potential remedy or surgical intervention in a larger, more equipped facility.
She turned to Huo Qingyue and expressed, “Yue, I wish to seek advanced medical advice in the city. Despite the current diagnosis of infertility, I wish to explore every possibility. A larger city would have diverse medical opinions and maybe the diagnosis here is flawed. I yearn for motherhood and refuse to accept this fate without further investigation.”
At this, Huo Qingyue offered a comforting smile and lovingly adjusted her hair, speaking gently, “Alright. If you wish to seek further consultation, let's do so promptly. I will request leave and accompany you to the city for a more comprehensive examination. We can head to the northern city; it's renowned for having the nation's best medical facilities and is conveniently located. If conceiving remains an impossibility, let's consider our options, including adoption. Would you like that?”
Overwhelmed by emotion, Gu Yuehuan embraced him tightly upon hearing his words. “Thank you, Yue. My life has seen its share of hardships, but I believe all my fortune was in crossing paths with you.”
Moved by her sentiments, Huo Qingyue held her close and gently placed a kiss on her forehead.
Initially, Gu Yuehuan presumed it was just a fleeting kiss, so she tilted her head for a deeper connection. Their kiss was fervent.
But right after, he swept her off her feet, holding her in a princess-style lift.
Gu Yuehuan “…”
It came again.
The next morning saw Huo Qingyue promptly packing their bags. Together, they headed to the train station to purchase tickets to Beijing. The subsequent train was destined for the northern city.
Modern trains, albeit their advancements, remained relatively sluggish. A journey to the northern city would span at least two days. Despite its cost, he secured a hard bed ticket and even went to great lengths to ensure they had the best tickets possible.
In those times, mere wealth wasn't enough to guarantee a hard bed ticket; it demanded a certain status. Without it, travelers had to settle for hard seats. A two-day journey on such seats was hardly comfortable. Taking advantage of his civil servant status - a profession held in high regard during these times - Huo Qingyue secured their tickets.
His status allowed him priority when booking a hard bedroom. He penned a letter of introduction and, after securing two hard bedrooms, proceeded to the office to request a week off.
