"Bleeding?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yuan's eyes widened, and when she realized the seriousness of the situation, she released Shen Fenghe's hand in alarm, urgently instructing, "Don't move from here, I'll go get someone!"

She ran erratically towards Zhong Junrong, grabbed her arm, and said in a trembling voice, "Sister Zhong, quick...come with me, someone's going to die!"

Chung Chun-jung was startled. "You gave the wrong patient an IV drip?"

"No!" Yuan Yuan cried, pulling her back to Shen Fenghe's side. "Sister Shen is bleeding!"

Zhong Junrong gasped, without asking or saying anything, quickly arranged a private room for Shen Fenghe, and then hurriedly called Xiao Guilan, the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department who had already finished work: "Come to our clinic immediately!"

Without asking any questions, Xiao Guilan put down the basin and towel, changed out of her pajamas, and drove straight to the military region.

Externally hired medical staff generally do not live in the family compound, but mostly rent public housing or private houses nearby. However, Xiao Guilan lives far away. She has her own house in the city and drives to and from get off work every day.

She was the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department hired by the military region, but she did not belong to any health clinic. She only worked at the First Health Clinic and moved wherever she was needed. Sometimes she would even visit the homes of military spouses to provide medical care.

While she was rushing over, Zhong Junrong called Ye Zhengting's office again, but Ye Zhengting had already gone to the cafeteria for dinner with Lu Xiaohua and the others. She had to ask several people to pass on the message to Ye Zhengting, saying that Shen Fenghe was sick and that he should come to the clinic as soon as possible.

"Commander Ye, you're being incredibly irresponsible!"

When Ye Zhengting rushed to the clinic, he was immediately scolded by Zhong Junrong.

"Xiao He, she..." Ye Zhengting opened his mouth, he didn't know what was wrong with Shen Fenghe, but he had a rough idea.

"It's a child..." he hesitated, then stopped.

"Why didn't you tell me she was pregnant?" Zhong Junrong was furious. "Don't you know that you need to rest during early pregnancy? Why are you in such a hurry to get her back to work? Is your family short of money?"

Ye Zhengting lowered his head and did not defend himself.

Seeing this, Zhong Junrong realized he had spoken too harshly, especially since the other party was a regimental commander. So he softened his tone, "I know it hasn't been three months yet, and you're trying to play it safe and don't want to tell everyone. But I'm Xiao Shen's superior. You should at least give me a hint. Nursing work is different from other jobs, and there are so many infectious diseases lately. What if..."

"Is the child alright?"

Ye Zhengting suddenly looked up.

"Well!"

His aura was so strong that his sudden question was so sharp and intimidating that it immediately stunned Zhong Junrong. "Director Xiao is still on his way. He should be... alright, right?"

She couldn't guarantee anything. Although spotting in early pregnancy should be taken seriously but not panicked, everyone's situation is different. Besides, Shen Fenghe had been in contact with patients these past few days and had even worked overtime today.

"Why don't you go and see Xiao Shen first? I've arranged a private room for her."

Thank you!

Ye Zhengting nodded heavily and followed Zhong Junrong to the ward in the far corner of the first floor. There, he saw Shen Fenghe lying half-reclined on the bed, her face much paler than in the morning, and she felt even more guilty.

Although the child wasn't his, he married her, which meant he would be the child's future father. But when he asked himself honestly, it seemed he had never truly cared about this unborn little life.

"Yuanyuan, Commander Ye is here. You can come out now."

Zhong Junrong waved to Yuan Yuan, who was by his bedside, and then left the ward to the young couple.

As Yuan Yuan passed by Ye Zhengting, she couldn't help but steal a glance at this prominent figure in the military region, thinking to herself: He is handsome, but too cold. I guess only a gentle and tender woman like Sister Shen can handle him.

Once the door closed, the atmosphere inside became even colder. Shen Fenghe felt that there was no need to turn on the fan, as Ye Zhengting emanated a natural chill.

She clutched the thin blanket covering her, biting her lower lip tightly.

Seeing Ye Zhengting slowly walking towards her, she finally released her lips and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry!"

"I'm sorry!" Ye Zhengting said at the same time as her.

"It's my fault for not taking good care of you! I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a husband!"

Ye Zhengting strode over to the bedside and sat down, wanting to hold her hand, but hesitated at the moment he reached out. He turned his hand to his own head and took off his military cap.

"No, no! It was my own carelessness. Because I didn't have any early pregnancy symptoms, I overlooked the fact that I was less than three months pregnant. I should have been more careful." Shen Fenghe quickly shook her head.

"What are early pregnancy symptoms?" Ye Zhengting asked hesitantly.

Shen Fenghe thought for a moment and said, "I feel nauseous, sleepy, always tired, frequent urination, and my breasts are swollen."

Ye Zhengting scratched his cheek. "You don't seem to have any of those?"

Shen Fenghe nodded, "That's why you thought you were so capable..."

"You're really something, going to the disaster area to volunteer," Ye Zhengting said playfully.

Shen Fenghe pursed her lips. "I'll be more careful in the future."

"What should we pay attention to?" Ye Zhengting asked seriously.

Shen Fenghe thought for a moment, "I won't come into contact with patients with infectious diseases, I won't overwork myself, I'll have regular prenatal checkups... that's about it. I'm healthy and not that delicate."

"Then you should be more delicate!" Xiao Guilan pushed open the door with a cold face.

"Director Xiao!" Ye Zhengting immediately stood up.

"Hmph!" Xiao Guilan glanced at him, then went to the bedside, grasped Shen Fenghe's right wrist, and took her pulse.

At that time, ultrasound was not yet widespread, and blood HCG testing was not widely available. It was often difficult to distinguish between threatened miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, or molar pregnancy. Just like the diagnosis of infectious diseases, it relied entirely on experience.

Fortunately, Xiao Guilan has a foundation in traditional Chinese medicine and can use the four diagnostic methods to assess the condition of the fetus, rather than simply "saving the baby as soon as bleeding occurs".

"Do you feel any heaviness or pressure in your lower abdomen?" Xiao Guilan asked.

"No." Shen Fenghe shook her head.

"Are you dizzy?" Xiao Guilan asked again.

Shen Fenghe shook her head again.

"A slippery pulse is a normal physiological response, and there are no signs of miscarriage." Xiao Guilan released Shen Fenghe's wrist, observed her complexion, and said, "You've been too tired lately. Rest in bed for a week, and then have your boss, Mr. Zhong, arrange an easy job for you."

"The clinic in the family compound isn't that busy, why make a pregnant woman work overtime? I think she's getting worse with age, she should just retire!"

The last sentence was a bit harsh, and Yuan Yuan outside the door fell silent, not daring to lift her eyelids or look at Zhong Junrong's expression.

What goes around comes around. The way she disciplined Ye Zhengting before, Xiao Guilan is now disciplining her in the same way, and with even sharper words, befitting her nickname "Xiao the Scoundrel".

However, Chung Chun-jung ignored it completely. Hsiao Kuei-lan was her childhood friend and had been teased by her since they were young, so she was used to it. As long as Shen Feng-ho was alright, that was all that mattered.

"The fetal heartbeat is already detected. I'll prescribe some vitamin E for you first. If the bleeding continues, I'll prescribe some traditional Chinese medicine to help maintain the pregnancy."

Afterwards, Xiao Guilan asked for a stethoscope, tried listening to the fetal heartbeat, and continued to explain the precautions.

"It's not good for you to lie like that; you should lie on your left side or flat on your back."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhengting immediately got up and helped Shen Fenghe lie down again.

"How do you want to lie?" he asked in a low voice.

Shen Fenghe said, "Lie flat."

After Shen Fenghe lay down, Xiao Guilan said again, "From now on, you're not allowed to lift heavy objects or do heavy work. If your boss makes you work overtime again, come and tell me, and I'll beat her to a pulp!"

"Cough! Okay." Shen Fenghe almost burst out laughing.

"And..." Xiao Guilan changed the subject, her sharp gaze shooting towards Ye Zhengting, "Bear with it, don't have any marital relations during this period."
