Chapter 172 Really Pregnant

Chapter 172 Really Pregnant

Obstetrics and Gynecology Department.

Yun Shuiyao, wearing a mask and sunglasses, walked into the ultrasound room.

About an hour later, she left the ultrasound room with the results and headed to the doctor's office.

"Miss, your ultrasound shows that you are pregnant."

Yun Shuiyao was suddenly stunned.

However, before she could process this news, another piece of information hit her like a wave.

"However, the fetal heartbeat is developing slowly. This is not a good sign. I recommend a more thorough examination."

"What?"

This news completely overwhelmed Yun Shuiyao. "Are you saying there's something wrong with my baby?"

The doctor nodded. "Have you taken any strong medications that could severely harm your body? This might affect your fetus's development. You are already three months pregnant. You should consider a Down syndrome screening test."

Down syndrome screening!

Yun Shuiyao's fingers curled tightly, and her entire body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Yes, she had taken medication.

She had been forced to take countless unknown drugs and injected with various substances.

"Did you come alone? Where is your husband?" the doctor asked. "It's best to discuss this with your family. Wait for the test results before making a decision."

Making a decision about the child?

Yun Shuiyao certainly wanted the child!

At this moment, the child was her lifeline, not only resolving the crisis of her fake pregnancy but also giving her leverage to marry into the Huo family.

But she couldn't keep the child.

Yun Shuiyao didn't know how she managed to leave the hospital.

When she finally came to her senses, she was already in her car.

She took off her sunglasses, wiped away her tears, and dialed a number.

As soon as the call connected, she said, "I'm pregnant, and this time it's real."

"That's good news..."

"This child can't be kept," Yun Shuiyao said, taking a deep breath. "My body has been ruined by those drugs. Even if the child survives, it won't be healthy. If I keep this child, my stay at that rehabilitation center will be exposed, and my true identity will be revealed..."

The man on the other end breathed slowly and heavily. "I am sorry, Yao'er."

"The situation is what it is; we have no choice but to give up the child."

"Huo Jinzhou, does he know about the child?"

Yun Shuiyao sneered. "He doesn't need to know because he wouldn't care!"

The man said, "But he is the father. Think it over carefully. Don't give up easily unless absolutely necessary."

Yun Shuiyao sat in the car for a long time. Just as she was about to start the engine and leave, she caught sight of a little girl in a white dress running past, holding a balloon and calling out in a childish voice, "Mommy, mommy, come chase me..."

Yun Shuiyao felt her heart tighten.

The doctor had mentioned that due to her special condition, if she lost this pregnancy, she might never be able to conceive again.

Just a slow fetal heartbeat didn't necessarily mean the fetus had problems.

Even if she decided to give up the child, she should wait until after the Down syndrome screening.

Thinking this way, she felt a sudden sense of relief and drove to Huo Jinzhou's company.

This company was established with funds she had secretly raised. Huo Jinzhou had some skills; after forcefully acquiring and merging several listed companies, he quickly integrated them within a short period.

Now the company was gradually stabilizing, and given time, it had a chance to rival the Huo Group.

"Second Miss Yun," Huo Jinzhou's assistant said, slightly surprised upon seeing Yun Shuiyao. "Mr. Huo just went to a meeting and won't be back for about an hour."

"It's fine. I'll wait in his office."

"Alright, please follow me." The assistant looked hesitant but complied due to Yun Shuiyao's status.

Yun Shuiyao pushed open the office door, placed her bag on the desk, and looked around.

This was her first visit to Huo Jinzhou's new office. Compared to the luxurious one at the Huo Group, this one was much simpler and noticeably... more oppressive.

It seemed Huo Jinzhou had undergone significant changes recently.

Yun Shuiyao smiled faintly, sat down in Huo Jinzhou's chair, and idly flipped through his documents.

However, she wasn't interested in these things and put them down after a few glances.

Just as she was about to stand up and sit on the sofa, she noticed a few photos at the bottom of a drawer.

She instinctively pulled out the photos, and her face darkened instantly.

The first photo was of Yun Mu as a child, wearing a pink princess dress and flying a kite in the garden, looking innocent and carefree.

The rest of the photos were all recent pictures of Yun Mu after she had regained her true appearance. Some were casual snapshots from everyday life, while others were taken on set...

Huo Jinzhou!

She suddenly remembered what Huo Jinzhou had said to Yun Mu at the mall last time.

"I have no feelings for her whatsoever. Our engagement was out of necessity; I'm just using her. Yun Mu, if you come to me, I promise to give you everything you want."

At the time, she thought that even if the first part was true, the latter part was likely just to coax Yun Mu.

So she pretended not to hear it, after all, her relationship with Huo Jinzhou was now nothing more than mutual use.

But she never expected that every word he said was sincere!

To hide those photos of that despicable woman so carefully, he must be deeply in love!

Ha, Huo Jinzhou, you really know how to play your cards.

She could tolerate Huo Jinzhou not loving her, but she absolutely could not tolerate him loving Yun Mu.

Those few photos shattered any lingering hope she had.

Making her feel like this trip was a complete joke.

"Mr. Huo, Second Miss Yun is here, waiting for you inside... Huh? Where is she?" The assistant looked puzzled at the empty office.

Huo Jinzhou's face darkened slightly as he pushed the door open and walked in.

He went straight to his desk and opened the last drawer of the car.

When he saw that everything inside was intact and untouched, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling guilty.

At that moment, his phone received a text message from Yun Shuiyao.

"I had to leave early, remember to pick out roses for the engagement party tomorrow."

Huo Jinzhou's face flashed a hint of impatience, but he still replied with one word, "Okay, be careful on the road."

After sending the message, he immediately instructed the assistant, "Have someone keep a close eye on Yun Shuiyao's movements these days, and report any changes to me immediately."

"Yes."
