Chapter 283 The Heroine of an Old-Fashioned Romance Novel 3
The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Ji Xiaosong was curled up in bed, unable to fall asleep due to the cramps in her stomach.
Ever since that day she met Huo Chen at the Blue Bay Hotel, her life seemed to have fallen into endless chaos.
Both the pressure at work and the psychological burden left her feeling exhausted.
She forced herself to get out of bed and went into the bathroom. Her pale face was reflected in the mirror, with obvious dark circles under her eyes.
She turned on the tap and splashed cold water on her face, trying to wake herself up.
"This can't go on any longer," Ji Xiaosong whispered to herself.
She changed into simple casual clothes, put on a mask, and decided to go to the hospital for a check-up.
For the past few days, her stomach has been upset, and she has even felt nauseous at times.
She initially thought it was just gastrointestinal discomfort caused by excessive stress, but as time went on, the symptoms became more and more severe.
The hospital corridor was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Ji Xiaosong sat on a bench in the waiting area, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.
Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to that chaotic night, and Huo Chen's cold gaze seemed to still be flickering before her eyes.
"Ji Xiaosong, please go to examination room number 3." The nurse's voice interrupted her thoughts.
She stood up, took a deep breath, and walked into the examination room.
The doctor was a middle-aged woman with a kind face. She carefully inquired about Ji Xiaosong's symptoms and then ordered a series of tests.
"Go get your blood drawn first, then have an ultrasound," the doctor said while writing out the form.
Ji Xiaosong nodded, took the examination report, and walked out of the consultation room.
The blood draw went smoothly, but as she lay on the examination bed in the ultrasound room, she felt inexplicably nervous.
The doctor applied a cool coupling gel to her abdomen, then picked up the probe and began a thorough examination.
"Is your menstrual cycle regular?" the doctor suddenly asked.
Ji Xiaosong was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "I've been a bit disoriented lately, probably because of too much stress."
The doctor didn't say anything more, just stared intently at the screen.
Looking at the doctor's expression, Ji Xiaosong suddenly felt uneasy.
"Doctor, is there a problem?" she couldn't help but ask.
The doctor lowered the probe and turned to look at her. "Ms. Ji, you are pregnant, about six weeks along."
These words struck Ji Xiaosong like a thunderbolt, instantly exploding in her mind.
She felt her world completely collapse at that moment, and all her thoughts became chaotic.
"Pregnant? How is that possible?" she murmured to herself, her voice filled with disbelief.
The doctor nodded and handed her the test results. "This is the ultrasound report. You can go to the obstetrics and gynecology department for further consultation."
Ji Xiaosong took the report, her fingers trembling slightly.
She stood up and walked unsteadily out of the ultrasound room.
People were coming and going in the corridor, but she felt that the whole world had become blurry.
She leaned against the wall, trying to calm herself down.
Pregnant? Six weeks pregnant?
She looked down at the report in her hand, her mind replaying the details of that night.
However, her memory seemed shrouded in a fog, and she couldn't see it clearly no matter what.
"What exactly happened that night?" she asked in a low voice, a hint of helplessness in her voice.
She remembered drinking a lot of alcohol, stumbling into the VIP room, and remembering Huo Chen's cold face and the scar on his brow bone.
However, she couldn't remember anything after that.
"Ji Xiaosong, you're really confused!"
She pinched her arm hard, trying to use the pain to bring herself back to her senses.
She took a deep breath and decided to consult an obstetrician-gynecologist first. Whatever the outcome, she would have to face it.
The OB-GYN was a young woman who carefully reviewed Ji Xiaosong's medical report before asking, "Have you taken any birth control pills recently?"
Ji Xiaosong shook her head, "No, I... I didn't expect it to be like this."
The doctor nodded and said gently, "You're six weeks pregnant, and the fetus is developing normally. If you decide to keep the baby, I'll tell you in detail what you need to pay attention to. If you don't want to keep it, you can also consider an abortion, but you need to decide as soon as possible."
Ji Xiaosong felt as if something was pinching her genitals hard, causing unbearable pain.
She lowered her head, her fingers gripping the examination report tightly, her knuckles turning white.
"I...I need time to think," she said softly, her voice trembling slightly.
The doctor nodded and handed her a business card, saying, "Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions."
Ji Xiaosong took the business card, stood up, and walked unsteadily out of the consultation room.
She stood at the hospital entrance, the sunlight so bright she could barely open her eyes.
She looked down at the medical report in her hand, her mind replaying the details of that night.
"Huo Chen..." she murmured the name, her voice filled with complex emotions.
She knew she had to face it all, both the fact that she was pregnant and the chaos of that night.
But how should she face Huo Chen?
Will he believe that the child is his?
Or will he, like that day at the hotel, use his cold gaze and mocking tone to shatter her last shred of dignity?
Ji Xiaosong took a deep breath and decided to go home and calm down first.
She stuffed the examination form into her bag and hurried toward the subway station.
However, just as she reached the hospital entrance, a sudden gust of wind blew her test results out of her bag.
She hurriedly reached out to grab it, but watched helplessly as the paper flew through the air and finally landed at the feet of a man not far away.
The man bent down to pick up the paper, glanced at its contents, and then looked up at Ji Xiaosong.
In that instant, Ji Xiaosong felt her heart stop beating.
That's Huo Chen.
He wore a well-tailored black suit, his face was stern, and the small scar between his eyebrows was particularly noticeable in the sunlight.
His gaze was cold and sharp, as if he wanted to see right through her.
"Ji Xiaosong?"
His voice was low and cold, devoid of any emotion.
Ji Xiaosong felt her breathing become difficult, as if something was pressing on her chest, making it impossible for her to catch her breath.
She stood there, her fingers gripping the bag strap tightly, her knuckles turning white.
Huo Chen looked down at the test results in his hand, his brows furrowing slightly. "Six weeks pregnant?"
His tone carried a hint of skepticism, and he stared at her coldly, as if examining a substandard product.
Ji Xiaosong felt her cheeks burning and her palms sweating.
She knew she could no longer run away.
"Mr. Huo, I..." She opened her mouth, but found that she didn't know what to say.
Huo Chen didn't give her another chance. He walked up to her, looking down at her, and said, "Ji Xiaosong, I hope you understand that I do not acknowledge this child."
These words were like a sharp blade, piercing straight into Ji Xiaosong's heart.
She felt her world completely collapse at that moment. All the humiliation, pain, and helplessness were like a nightmare, leaving her nowhere to escape.
"Mr. Huo, I..."
Her voice was weak and trembling slightly.
Huo Chen sneered and shoved the examination report back into her hand. "Ji Xiaosong, I hope you remember that backbone can't solve all problems."
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Ji Xiaosong standing alone at the hospital entrance, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
