The Sweetest Medicine

Lin Jiayu still couldn’t recall how everything ended up the way it did.

All she remembered was a man lying on top of her body, breathing heavily, while her body felt so weak that she couldn’t even lift a finger. All she could do was let him have his way with her.

If there was no trace of love-making left on the bed the next day and no drop of bright blood on the white bedsheets, she would have thought that she had an erotic dream.

Lin Jiayu pretended nothing happened and forced herself to not to think about it.

She was so sad and depressed at the time that she couldn’t even think about whether she was pregnant or not.

Who would have thought that she’d hit the jackpot in one go?

She was actually pregnant!

After explaining everything to Yu Gangan, Lin Jiayu let out a sigh. It felt like a load had been lifted off her shoulders and she was suddenly a lot more relaxed.

As she looked at Yu Gangan, she added, “I’m truly thankful towards you. If not for you, Gangan, I would still be drowning in my own sorrow and my aged parents would still be worrying about me. Now that I think about it, it’s so not worth it.”

At first, Lin Jiayu was quite calm, like she was telling someone else’s story.

But, as soon as she mentioned her parents, the rim of her eyes turned a little red and a teardrop slowly slipped out of the corner of her eye.

After treating her for so long, Lin Jiayu had never told Yu Gangan how she received frostbite.

Although she finally revealed the reason because of her pregnancy, Yu Gangan felt that Lin Jiayu’s willingness to talk about it meant that she was no longer haunted by it.

Yu Gangan held onto Lin Jiayu’s hand and said, “A lifetime is a long time. Who hasn’t met a few jerks before? Giving up on him was the smart thing to do. You should be happy that the jerk didn’t continue ruining your life and, instead, gave you enough time to find someone that truly loves and cherishes you.”

Lin Jiayu nodded her head, “En, I understand. That’s why…I can’t have this child either.”

She didn’t even know who the father was. Of course she couldn’t have the child.

Yu Gangan furrowed her brows slightly and asked, “Aren’t you RH negative?”

“Yes, I’m RH negative. Why are you suddenly asking about my blood type?”

“You will have no problem having a child with RH negative blood as long as you monitor your immune system and regularly inject anti-D immunoglobulin, but if you decide to have an abortion, you may never fall pregnant again. If you do fall pregnant, it will be very dangerous and you will be at risk of a miscarriage: it’s like a habitual response. Even if you have a child, the child might…”

Lin Jiayu’s eyes opened wide with disbelief.

“It isn’t easy for someone with RH negative to fall pregnant. Once they do, they should follow through with the pregnancy and give birth because the second and third child is at a high risk of hemolysis. If that occurs, the baby has only a 10% rate of survival. That’s why I suggest you think it over.”

Yu Gangan actually wanted Lin Jiayu to keep the child.

After all, judging by her pulse, Lin Jiayu did not seem to be very healthy.

During the last 6 months, Lin Jiayu’s body had been seriously strained.

But, she had no right to say anything because the child was Lin Jiayu’s; he was the final decision-maker.

…

While Yu Gangan wasn’t around, Du Shunian approached Fang Zhihan.

In the garden outside the ballroom, Du Shunian had gathered 4 men to beat Fang Zhihan up.

“Who do you think you are? How dare you fight with me over a girl. If I don’t teach you a lesson tonight, then my name isn’t Du Shunian?”
