She Asks for a Divorce Again - Chapter 66

Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Miscarriage
 

Although her movements were slight, they were extremely obvious to a fully awake Pei Yansi.

For the first time, she acted like a child coveting warmth, constantly burrowing into his arms, trying to find a sense of dependence on him.

He felt an indescribable sentiment rise from the depths of his heart and, without touching her belly, embraced her even more tightly.

In all the years of their marriage, this was the first time they had been so in harmony in bed.

The next day, Shen Heyu was woken by the bustle of the birthday party.

When she woke up, Pei Yansi was no longer beside her, but she could see that she had slept right in the middle of the large bed.

The warmth he left behind was still present, suggesting he had only left recently.

Shen Heyu got up from the bed, washed up, and went downstairs for breakfast, feeling much better today, but still somewhat lackluster. She planned to give the birthday gift to Madam Pei then return to rest.

As she reached the living room, she saw the garden already teeming with people. It was only morning, yet so many guests had arrived; they would stay until the evening, which really showed the Pei family’s influence in the city.

Everyone wanted to curry favor early.

The maid brought a nutritious soup to Shen Heyu’s table and said, “Sir specially got up early to stew this for you today. Please have it now. Sir has ordered that after breakfast you should also take some nutritional supplements, and then rest well. You don’t need to tend to the guests at the birthday party.”

Shen Heyu nodded. Of course, she didn’t need to entertain the guests; he’d probably prefer her not to make an appearance, considering that, externally, they had always maintained the appearance of a single status due to their hidden marriage.

But the thought that this bowl of soup was personally made by Pei Yansi warmed her heart inexplicably, and she drank it all in one go.

She put down the bowl and was about to go upstairs when she saw a familiar figure hurriedly running in from outside.

Bai Sheng’er.

Shen Heyu’s gaze immediately turned cold. She hadn’t expected him to bring her along, even to an event like this. According to custom, her status hardly qualified her to enter the Pei family ancestral home, let alone attend Madam Pei’s birthday celebration.

So, with what status had Pei Yansi brought her here? Shen Heyu didn’t need to think to know. Suddenly, the soup she had just drunk felt nauseating in her stomach, as if she were about to vomit.

She said, “What are you doing here?”

Bai Sheng’er clutched her dress at the chest and said, “Director Shen, my dress was accidentally splashed with coffee by a servant here, and now it’s dirty. President Pei said to ask you to lend me a dress. You have a lot of dresses you’ve never worn, and you can’t wear them all. You’ll definitely lend me one, right?”

Shen Heyu sneered inwardly.

She indeed had many dresses, all provided by Pei Yansi, and all in the style of Shen Fanshuang, which she never wore because they were designed in someone else’s style.

So she didn’t mind giving one to Bai Sheng’er. After all, to her, it was just trash.

She said, “On the second floor, turn right, second room. Help yourself.”

She didn’t want to share a space with her; it was impossible for her to accompany Bai Sheng’er, let alone fetch the dress for her. Simply because she wasn’t a maid to serve Bai Sheng’er.

Bai Sheng’er’s smile was sweet as she quickly thanked her and went upstairs.

Once she had left, the maid grinned and asked, “Madam, is she your friend? She has such a lovely smile, very charismatic. She must also be a kind-hearted good person, right?”

“Perhaps?” Shen Heyu scoffed internally.

Bai Sheng’er’s pretentious demeanor certainly could fool many people.

It wasn’t long before Bai Sheng’er came down from upstairs. Shen Heyu casually glanced at her; she had chosen a black velvet mini dress.

That was Shen Fanshuang’s favorite style before she passed away.

Pei Yansi bought a lot of them, but black was the only color that truly suited Shen Fanshuang. Unexpectedly, she had chosen the most lethal set on her first try.

“Director Shen, thank you?” Bai Sheng’er’s smile was profound as she walked out of the living room.

Shen Heyu didn’t think too much about it; she simply assumed that Bai Sheng’er’s meaningful look was because she had found something very similar to Shen Fanshuang, and she was planning to go ask Pei Yansi for a gentle reward.

She went upstairs, returned to her own room, took two health supplements from the bedside, and put them into her mouth. She swallowed them down with hot water.

Only then did she lie down to rest.

The guests were all in the garden and wouldn’t enter the Pei Family’s house unless invited.

Shen Heyu could thus sleep peacefully.

However, not long after she lay down, she felt such severe pain in her abdomen that she broke out in sweat, almost every pore throbbing with pain.

She trembled with the pain, curling into a small shrimp as she hugged her belly, calling for the auntie outside with difficulty.

The auntie quickly came in with a doctor, but the doctor was not a gynecological expert; at best, he could treat some family emergencies.

Moreover, looking at Shen Heyu’s condition, he realized that a trip to the hospital was essential.

He hurriedly summoned a driver, intending to take Shen Heyu to the hospital. Considering her secret marriage with Pei Yansi, the doctor did not alarm the guests outside; instead, he helped Shen Heyu into the car from the back door.

As Shen Heyu got into the car, she glanced at the garden in front, where she saw Pei Yansi chatting happily and laughing heartily with Bai Sheng’er.

She couldn’t quite identify her feelings, only feeling that the pain in her abdomen seemed to be nothing compared to the pain in her heart.

Almost in that instant, Shen Heyu thought about aborting the child.

She carried his bloodline, went through great pains, yet this was how he treated her. She only occupied the status of Mrs. Pei, but the two had never agreed that this would involve their offspring.

The doctor closed the car door, blocking Shen Heyu’s view, and those outside could not see inside.

Half an hour later, Shen Heyu was rushed into the hospital’s gynecological emergency room.

As soon as she was pushed into the treatment room, she heard a doctor say, “Do you not want this child? If you want an abortion, you should go to a regular hospital. How could you recklessly take medicine like this?”

Shen Heyu, in pain, furrowed her brows and could hardly speak, only listened as the doctor continued, “Take her to the operating room first to see if the baby can still be saved. If it can be saved, let’s first try to save it, then proceed with an abortion in the proper way.”

She was immediately pushed into the operating room.

Once the anesthesia was administered, she lost consciousness. When she woke up again, she had been moved to a ward.

Auntie was at her bedside.

Seeing her awake, Auntie was overjoyed, “Thank goodness, that scared me to death. Madame, how could you take abortion medicine?”

Shen Heyu frowned with the effort to speak, “I didn’t take any… ”

“But that’s what the doctor said.”

As she finished speaking, the doctor came in, took down some notes on her chart, and then said, “The child was saved, fortunately, you were brought in time. Otherwise, your reckless attempt at abortion could have cost you your life.”

“You’re at risk of miscarriage; if you don’t want the baby, you can schedule an operation now. If you want the baby, you’ll need to be extra careful in the future; the child is too fragile now. Even without surgery, it might not be viable.”
