Xia Chuyi returns to Capital City struggling with persistent nausea and unexplained weakness after a long journey. Despite her attempts to dismiss the symptoms as hunger or simple illness, she finds herself unable to eat without experiencing intense discomfort. After a dizzy spell at the airport, she is comforted by her husband, Huo Shiqian, but the situation escalates when he realizes her physical condition has worsened. Fearing for her health, Huo Shiqian decides to bypass her protests and take her directly to the hospital.

"Go to the hospital," Huo Shiqian commanded firmly, allowing no argument.

Xia Chuyi gazed at her husband, whose face was dark and brow furrowed; she parted her lips but in the end remained silent.

Considering her symptoms, a hospital visit for an examination was truly necessary.

Before long, they arrived at the hospital, where the doctor asked questions, took blood samples, and ran various tests...

As they awaited the outcomes, word reached the Ou Family, prompting Mrs. Ou from home to hurry there right away.

Aware that Xia Chuyi hadn’t eaten anything, Mrs. Ou arrived bearing porridge for her.

"Chuyi, drink some porridge first," Mrs. Ou urged, adding, "We don’t know yet what’s wrong with you."

"I checked with Doctor Guo, though—he assured me porridge is safe no matter the case," Mrs. Ou explained, her eyes full of worry.

"Mom, I’m okay," Xia Chuyi replied with a gentle smile, trying to ease Mrs. Ou’s concerns.

In this scenario, if it wasn’t gastritis from food poisoning, then it had to be...

Truth be told, Xia Chuyi lacked any real knowledge or experience with pregnancy.

Thus, she couldn’t determine if she was ill or expecting.

Not wishing to raise false hopes or cause unnecessary anxiety, Xia Chuyi smiled and responded, "Mom, I’ll have the porridge now."

Interestingly, since it came from Mrs. Ou, Xia Chuyi consumed it without any previous discomfort.

Moments later, Doctor Guo appeared, noticing her sipping the porridge, his face grave.

Mrs. Ou and Huo Shiqian both creased their brows at Doctor Guo’s demeanor.

Xia Chuyi herself grew puzzled as well.

If it’s a sickness... wouldn’t it just be a stomach problem?

So why did Doctor Guo appear so solemn?

Right then, Doctor Guo announced, "Chuyi is pregnant."

His declaration burst forth like fireworks in the dark sky, shocking all present while filling the air with brilliant splendor.

"Is that true?" Mrs. Ou exclaimed with delight, seeking instant verification.

Huo Shiqian stood there, completely dumbfounded.

Though Xia Chuyi had braced herself somewhat, the confirmation still flooded her with overwhelming feelings.

Was she truly pregnant?

Xia Chuyi set down her porridge and instinctively placed a hand on her abdomen.

Was a tiny life truly growing inside?

This was... utterly astonishing.

Finally snapping out of it, Huo Shiqian moved to her side and pulled her into his arms.

The pair stayed silent, simply gazing deeply into one another’s eyes.

In those eyes, boundless happiness shone clearly for both to see.

Witnessing their elation, Doctor Guo let out a sigh before warning, "Hold off on the celebrations. There could be issues with the fetus."

Those words plunged the joyful couple from the heights, leaving them abruptly stunned and chilled.

"What did you say?" Mrs. Ou reacted first, demanding, "Is something wrong with the baby?"

Drawing from her own experiences, Mrs. Ou kept her composure and inquired, "Is the fetus underdeveloped? Can anything be done about it?"

Shaking his head, Doctor Guo replied, "Actually, Chuyi’s health indicates the fetus is growing normally."

"However..." He sighed once more, adding, "Toxins have been detected in Chuyi’s bloodstream."

"What does that imply?" Shock now gripped even Mrs. Ou.

"What on earth is going on?" Clutching her chest, Mrs. Ou’s voice quivered as she pressed, "Doctor Guo, please explain what’s really happening."
