Chapter 711: She Was Infertile
She was scribbling something on the paper, occasionally lowering her head to read what she had written. Other than that, she had also been spending a good chunk of time looking far out into the distance. No one could tell what she was looking for or what she was thinking about.
It was truly a sight to behold, as the sunshine blanketed her in a soft and ethereal glow, shining on the pen in her hand, and the still-warm cup of coffee on the table. The nib of the pen glided on the surface of the paper, producing a single sentence.
This is the start of a longing.
Yan Huan stared at the words for a moment. She was currently starring in a fairly lengthy advertisement that would last for more than two minutes. The whole process went smoothly, starting from the selection of the filming location up to the actual filming session, just like they were delivering a beautiful story. Although there was no male lead in the story, people could sense the pure love her character had for her mysterious lover, just by watching her actions and her expressions.
On the other hand, Yan Huan felt that she was at the peak of beauty now. The makeup on her face was subtle and barely noticeable, just right for her. Elegant, sophisticated and graceful, these were her descriptions for the advertisement.
No wonder the director said it was a successful take, as Yan Huan felt the same too. However, Luo Lin would most probably hound her to take on more jobs once the advertisement aired.
She stood up and grabbed her belongings. She then informed her nanny that she would leave for a while, but she admitted that she did not know when she would be back. To tell the truth, Yan Huan was actually intending to hide herself away from Luo Lin.
She got into her Hummer, which used to be Lu Yi’s car, and drove toward their old house, which she reached in no time. She had been driving the car since Lu Yi left. It might seem unusual for a lady to drive a Hummer, but she liked it and treasured it very much.
It was because she would never get to use again if it broke down for good.
Over the past two years, Lu Yi’s belongings had started to dwindle and fade out of her life.
All that remained was a car, a laptop and some clothes that had lost his scent.
The car would become rusty one day and the laptop might stop functioning eventually. What would she be left with at that point? She did not even have an answer for that.
She opened the door and stepped inside. The room was tidy, neat, and almost free of dust. No one would know that this place had been empty for the past two years.
She rarely came here. At first, she was worried that she would feel depressed at the sight of the house. Later on, she was just afraid that she might damage the furniture or plants in the house, especially Lu Yi’s precious scent that was still lingering in the air.
She went into the kitchen. The utensils were well-arranged but there was nothing in the refrigerator.
Nobody lived here after all, which was why everything had been cleaned up.
This place was actually different from before. It felt very desolate now, just like her desolate heart.
She then entered the bedroom and opened the wardrobe. She retrieved one of the shirts and put it on. Lu Yi’s clothes were still here, none of them were missing. Some of them were old and some were new clothes, but they were all here.
She pulled out an army uniform from the wardrobe and hugged it tightly in her arms. Back when she joined the army, Lu Yi had worn it as it was the mandatory attire for a military instructor. They had gotten into a fight with each other back then, didn’t they? It felt like it just happened yesterday, with memory of the fight still so fresh in her mind. She could remember in detail what had happened that day.
Once she fell into the trap of reminiscing about the past, she realized that everything was really not the way they were before.
She stood up and returned the uniform to its original place in the wardrobe. Lu Yi had never touched it again after he returned from the army. Instead, he usually wore his prosecutor’s uniform to work. The uniform for prosecutors was crisp and smart-looking. Since Lu Yi had joined the army before, there was a sense of sturdiness in his movements that accentuated his appearance as a prosecutor.
Of course, it could be said he was hard and cold, like a block of ice. Those who did not know him well or were not familiar with him would find it difficult to approach him. However, they were actually wrong about him. He might look unapproachable and aloof but he was actually a soft marshmallow on the inside.
She felt that there was something in the uniform’s pocket when she was hanging it into the closet. What’s this?
She reached into the pocket, and as expected, she found something. What is this doing in Lu Yi’s pocket? The clothes had been washed before. Could it be some cash that he had stashed inside his pocket and forgotten about?
It seemed like the most plausible explanation. She remembered that she was the one who washed the clothes, and she had hung it deep inside the wardrobe after it was dried. Lu Yi never wore it again, which was why she had never touched the clothes since then. She did not realize that she might have ruined the cash in Lu Yi’s pocket by washing the uniform.
She pulled her hand out from the pocket, holding something in her hand. However, it did not look like cash. Their country’s notes should be red in color, but the thing that she took out was white.
Slowly, she loosened her hand. It was not cash, but it looked like a medical report.
She returned to the table, placing the medical record on it and smoothed it out gently. Her name was on the medical record. It was prescribed by the military hospital. This must be the case report when she was hurt by Miao Xinyuan.
There were wrinkles on the paper as she had washed it, but the words on the medical report were still legible.
Abrasions of the skin tissue, no broken bones but minor bone fractures were observed. Certain ligaments were torn. Seemed like it was quite a serious external injury. Yan Huan was aware of all that, but she saw another line in another column when she was about to close the record.
Her eyes zeroed in on the comments. Injury to the uterus, internal bleeding, and the diagnosis that followed behind was…
Possible infertility?
Infertility!
Yan Huan could not believe it. She drew the paper closer and carefully looked at the word, infertility, infertility.
She could not believe it. She read the entire sentence again, word by word, but that particular word was stabbing into her heart like a sharp knife.
Infertile…
How could I be infertile, how could I? They said that it was just a minor wound! How could it be serious enough to affect my uterus? She placed her hands on her stomach. Back then, everything seemed fine. Lu Yi had even admitted that he was the one who was infertile. But… why was she the infertile one now?
There must be something wrong. Had she done something wrong all this time?
She hurriedly pulled out her mobile phone, but she could not find the contact number of that military doctor even after searching for a long time in her contact list. Finally, she managed to get Doctor Lee’s personal number via other means.
Doctor Lee had just completed an operation and was about to rest when his phone started to ring. He took it out from his pocket. Although it was an unknown number, he still answered the call without any hesitation. He raised the phone and put it to his ear.
