Chapter 574: 537 Jiaojiao Pregnant, Elder Tan Missing (1 more update)

Lu Han immediately called the president of Shengmao Hospital, who promptly arranged for the best treatment team to be ready for Lin Jiaojiao when she was brought in.

When the ambulance from Shengmao Hospital arrived, it sped through red lights all the way to take Lin Jiaojiao quickly to the emergency room.

Lu Han stayed behind with Tang Su, asking others to return to the small tavern. It was Lu Han’s intent for them to continue serving customers if possible, or to close the doors if not, leaving them to decide on their own.

Lin Jiaojiao had awakened by the time she was taken to the emergency room, completely dizzy from everything happening around her.

Before much equipment had even been used, she woke up, which relieved the doctors. Eventually, they conducted a basic examination on her.

One of them, pulled from the obstetrics and gynecology department, said, "Miss, could you be pregnant?"

"..."

Lin Jiaojiao was bewildered at that moment. How could that be possible?

She and Elder Tan had always been careful, especially since Tan Rongrong was young and, after losing her parents, had to deal with Lin Menmen constantly badmouthing her and Elder Tan.

This led to Tan Rongrong feeling very insecure. To prevent her from feeling overly so, and for her own good, Lin Jiaojiao had taken the initiative not to have children.

Lin Menmen also didn’t want her to have Elder Tan’s child and had even sent her a bowl of "sterility soup" made by her mother, supposedly obtained from an old traditional doctor.

Those were the days gone by, and neither she nor Elder Tan put much faith in that "sterility soup." After all, she had been pregnant once before and had a miscarriage.

Since then, she’d never been pregnant again.

Today, how could it be?

"Impossible," Lin Jiaojiao immediately denied, "I’ve been told by doctors before that it’s not easy for me to get pregnant." She was sure her fainting must be due to some other reason.

It definitely had nothing to do with pregnancy.

Moreover, considering Elder Tan’s current indifferent and cold attitude towards her, he, worthy for her to bear his child?

And was he fit to be the father of her child?

"Not easy to get pregnant doesn’t mean it’s impossible," said the doctor, "Miss, I think I need to draw some blood from you for further tests."

"Go ahead," Lin Jiaojiao replied without complaint, cooperating with the doctor’s examination.

"Where’s my friend?" Lin Jiaojiao asked the doctor after her blood had been taken.

"Waiting outside for you."

"Okay, thank you."

Ultimately, Lin Jiaojiao walked out of the emergency room on her own.

As Tang Su saw her come out followed by two nurses, she grabbed Lin Jiaojiao’s hand and asked the nurses in surprise, "Is she alright now?"

"Yes, there’s nothing serious; she woke up soon after being brought in," the nurse answered Tang Su’s question.

"I’m fine; don’t worry," laughed Lin Jiaojiao lightly, knowing her body wasn’t capable of getting pregnant.

She had no idea why the doctor would come to such a conclusion.

"What?" Tang Su was astonished.

"Lin Jiaojiao, right?" At that moment, the attending physician came out after her.

"Yes."

"You still can’t leave; it’s best that your family is here. Nurse, take them to the VIP ward in internal medicine," the doctor instructed.

"Yes, Dr. He," the nurse nodded.

"No, I’m fine. I’m already awake," Lin Jiaojiao didn’t want to be admitted to the hospital; she wanted to go back to the tavern where Tang Su and Lu Han had not even had lunch yet.

This was causing them so much trouble.

"Just because you’re awake doesn’t mean there’s nothing wrong; you need to cooperate with us for a full-body examination."

"No, I won’t have a full-body exam. I’m very healthy, you all..."

Lin Jiaojiao, agitated, felt dizzy again, but luckily, Tang Su caught her just in time, preventing another fall to the ground.

With that, Lin Jiaojiao calmed down and obediently sat in the wheelchair pushed by the nurse, with Tang Su accompanying her to the ward.

Lin Jiaojiao lay on the hospital bed, entirely dazed. She had always been in good health, so why was she feeling so unwell now?

What was with the dizziness all the time?

Could it be, just like the doctor said, that she was pregnant?

Would pregnancy make her feel like this?

Thinking that she might genuinely become a mother, after all, Elder Tan, that man, had always been beastly, often causing them to run out of birth control supplies they had prepared.

Furthermore, her body didn’t naturally have the conditions for conceiving, so sometimes, the two of them completely threw caution to the wind. Now, what have they done—created a life?

After the initial shock, Lin Jiaojiao felt a bit of joy.

It turns out that every woman looks forward to being a mother, huh?

It might have been alright before, but now she didn’t know if it was because of her age, Lin Jiaojiao found that she was actually quite looking forward to this child.

Without thinking, Lin Jiaojiao began to caress her belly.

On the other side, Tang Su asked a nurse to keep an eye on Lin Jiaojiao for a moment while she caught up with the doctor; Lu Han had gone with the director and still had not returned.

There were some things that Tang Su could only ask the doctor about.

"Doctor, what exactly is wrong with my friend?"

"We cannot confirm at the moment; further tests are needed, please wait patiently," the doctor said to Tang Su.

"Oh, thank you."

Tang Su was looking for Lu Han when he showed up.

When Lu Han arrived, the very doctor Tang Su had been questioning nodded in acknowledgement to him. Seeing his wife looking wan, he knew she was worried about Lin Jiaojiao.

"What’s the matter? Who made my wife unhappy? Your husband will scold them for you..."

"What exactly happened to Jiaojiao? Is she really pregnant?" Tang Su’s heart was genuinely concerned for Lin Jiaojiao.

She was like that; once she made a friend and took them to heart, she would devote herself entirely.

Just like with Little Douding, she was also all in.

"Pregnant? Who told you she was pregnant?" Lu Han also furrowed his brows, clearly he had not expected this outcome either.

At that moment, the nurse who had taken Lin Jiaojiao’s blood sample and sent it through the express pathway to the lab for the fastest testing returned with the report, personally delivering it.

"Mr. Lu," the nurse addressed Lu Han politely.

"Lin Jiaojiao’s report?"

"Yes."

"Is she pregnant?" Lu Han raised an eyebrow.

"The report’s conclusion indicates early pregnancy," the nurse informed Lu Han of the test results.

"I understand," Lu Han nodded.

Picking up his phone, he dialed Elder Tan’s number again. On Tang Su’s side, after learning that Lin Jiaojiao’s pregnancy was confirmed and realizing that Lin Jiaojiao’s fainting episodes might be due to the pregnancy and not some other issue, she felt much more relieved.

She was very happy for Lin Jiaojiao. Letting go of Lu Han, she followed the nurse to check on Lin Jiaojiao.

On Lu Han’s end, Elder Tan didn’t pick up the phone right away.

Lu Han called a second time, and Lin Menmen answered, "Lu Han, it’s me again."

"Where is Elder Tan?"

"He’s with Rongrong. Rongrong doesn’t want her dad to bring a phone when he’s with her," Lin Menmen laughed menacingly.

Lu Han didn’t know that at this moment, Lin Menmen was in the bedroom that she and Elder Tan used to share for their marriage, with Elder Tan now lying on their bridal bed with his eyes tightly shut, a look of peace on his face as though asleep.

This bridal bed, which they got after their wedding, was one that Elder Tan had never actually slept in.

Watching Elder Tan in his peaceful slumber, Lin Menmen was especially pleased.
