Han Jingnian glanced at Xie Lin, then stared at the docunt he handed over for a long while, before finally reaching out to take it.
As he was flipping through, Xie Lin began to speak again: "The condition the lady is experiencing is known in dicine as ’false pregnancy’... False pregnancy can present symptoms similar to those of actual pregnancy, such as cessation of nstruation, nausea and vomiting... False pregnancy, also known as imaginary pregnancy, occurs when a woman desires to be pregnant so intensely that her body begins to present symptoms similar to those of pregnancy. In severe cases, even blood pregnancy tests will show a positive result, and only an ultrasound can reveal that it is a false pregnancy... Therefore, I presu, the lady has been under extre emotional stress recently, desiring so intensely, so intensely to have a child, which has led to the current situation..."
"When you first called , I was quite surprised. Given the lady’s current physical condition, it was impossible for her to conceive a child. So how could she suddenly be pregnant? I, too, held onto a slim hope, that perhaps this was a surprise gift from heaven... But in reality, the result is as you see it now."
After Xie Lin finished his speech, the corridor fell silent.
A breeze blew in occasionally from the open window of Han Jingnian, rustling the pages of the docunt he was holding.
Han Jingnian and Xie Lin remained in silence for a while, Han Jingnian blinking after an uncertain amount of ti, coming back to his senses.
Seeing his reaction, Xie Lin spoke again: "On your way back ho... with the lady and the old madam..."
"For grandmother, I will call her later to explain. As for An’an..." As Han Jingnian spoke, his throat seed to be choked by sothing, and he abruptly fell silent.
Did she desire a child that much? So much so...that she developed symptoms of a false pregnancy?
When she discovered her ’pregnancy’, she was overjoyed, hugging him, jumping and bouncing... When she told him, joyfully, that she was going to be a mother, her excitent shone from her eyes.
If she knew she was not really pregnant... how heartbroken would she be?
Just imagining it twisted Han Jingnian’s heart like a knife. The thought of seeing her disappointnt, her embarrassnt, her guilt... and her tearful eyes in reality was unbearable.
After struggling to swallow a few tis, Han Jingnian finally spoke in continuation: "...As for An’an... let’s keep it from her for now."
"Mr. Han, the situation this ti is different from the previous ti when the lady ca to the hospital for a check-up. You said then that your sperm survival rate was low, which indeed could be concealed. But this ti, it can’t be hidden. After all, it’s about a child. At most, three months later, it will be exposed... so while you can hide it for a while, you can’t hide it forever..."
"I understand..." Han Jingnian lowered his eyes, hiding the pain in them: "I’ll tell her, after a few days, after her birthday, I’ll explain it to her properly."
"As for these few days, let her be happy for a while... just these few days..."
Just less than a week’s worth of happiness... was he going to deprive her of that as well?
"I see, Mr. Han." After Xie Lin finished speaking, the two of them stopped chatting, silently walking down the stairs.
After they had descended one floor, Xie Lin couldn’t help but speak up again: "Mr. Han, do you rember that docunt? The one you signed when you promised to marry the lady."
