1137 It Had Been a Long Time Since She Had Menses

“I know that you are responsible, but youngsters should take care of their health as well. Today’s work has been done. You can go back two hours earlier.” The personnel from the office could tell that Qiao Nan seemed unwell and in pain.

They had known each other for more than half a year.

However, the personnel from the office liked that Qiao Nan was hardworking and not talkative. Furthermore, she was from Peking University.

Qiao Nan was welcomed by everyone at the Palace Museum. They treated Qiao Nan as their junior.

Now that she seemed to be unwell, they were very concerned for Qiao Nan. “Are you related to Xiao Qiao?”

“I am her relative.” Zhai Hua was about to say that she was Qiao Nan’s sister-in-law, but she remembered that Qiao Nan was still very young and it might be unsuitable to say that. She then changed her mind. “I am her sister.”

“Okay, please send Xiao Qiao home. Xiao Qiao doesn’t look very well. In fact, you should send her to the hospital.” Xiao Qiao fell ill while she was working as a volunteer guide at the Palace Museum.

If anything went wrong, they had to bear responsibility.

“Don’t worry. I will.” Zhai Hua had the intention of doing that even before the personnel brought it up.

She had known Qiao Nan since a long time ago. Like the Zhai family, Qiao Nan did not fall ill easily. She was very healthy.

Before she married Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan would not fall sick easily. She had only been married to Zhai Sheng for a few months and she was sick. Zhai Hua could not help but be worried.

“Qiao Nan, are you unwell? Dongzi, Qiao Nan may not be able to walk a long distance. Drive the car over here. Let’s send her to the hospital.” Luckily, Dongzi was with her and he could help her send Qiao Nan to the hospital.

Tian Dong and Zhai Hua supported Qiao Nan to find a seat. Tian Dong then left to drive the car.

Qiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief after taking a seat. “There is no need to go to the hospital. There is nothing wrong with me. Perhaps I felt dizzy because Yu Xiaoxiao kept pestering me. Now that I’ve taken a breather, I feel much better.” She only felt a moment of discomfort.

The weather had turned better. It was impossible for her to suffer from heatstroke.

“Could it be that I am anemic?” Many women suffered from anemia. It was common for them to have dizzy spells.

Zhai Hua thought otherwise. “You can’t make the diagnosis that you are anemic. Let’s go to the hospital to do a checkup. I trust the doctors. Don’t put up a strong front. I have known you for so long. You rarely looked so pale. You must see the doctor if you are unwell!”

Zhai Hua held on to Qiao Nan, stopping her from moving about.

Zhai Hua did not take the passenger seat. Instead, she sat at the back seat with Qiao Nan. She made Qiao Nan rest her head on her shoulder so that Qiao Nan could feel more comfortable.

Qiao Nan sat up after a short while. “This won’t do. My stomach feels unsettled and I feel like throwing up in this position.”

“Are you suffering from motion sickness?” Zhai Hua looked anxious. She was looking for a plastic bag for Qiao Nan. The car belonged to Tian Dong. It would not be good to dirty his car. Zhai Hua understood basic courtesy.

Tian Dong did not really mind. Seeing that Zhai Hua was so worried about Qiao Nan, he made use of this chance to leave a good impression on Zhai Hua. “Don’t be anxious. It’s alright. Qiao Nan, if you are unwell, don’t hold it in. It doesn’t matter if you throw up in the car. At most, I will send it for washing.”

True enough, Zhai Hua seemed to see Tian Dong in a different light after he said that. She seemed not as put off by him.

“I am fine.” Qiao Nan looked pale, patting her chest. “I feel much better after I sit upright. Can we roll down the windows? It is very stuffy inside the car.”

Zhai Hua had a reluctant smile. “You should know the air quality in the capital. If you roll down the windows, it would be terrible.”

At Zhai Hua’s advice, Qiao Nan had no other choice but to give up on rolling down the windows.

Qiao Nan knew that there was a serious haze in the capital!

She had better not roll down the windows for her health’s sake.

It was crowded at the hospital during the weekend. Some of the departments were still on break.

Zhai Hua and Tian Dong helped Qiao Nan to the hospital. Zhai Hua accompanied Qiao Nan while Tian Dong dealt with the registrations.

“Qiao Nan, I feel that something must be wrong with you. You seemed to be sapped of all strength. Are you running a fever?” Qiao Nan seemed very weak. Zhai Hua touched her forehead to check her temperature. She eased slightly after she checked that Qiao Nan was not running a fever.

“I have no idea.” Qiao Nan shook her head. “You should know that as a woman, we have to go through a few…”

Qiao Nan had yet to finish her sentence when she turned silent all of a sudden.

Speaking of her menses, something dawned on Qiao Nan.

Previously, she was worried sick after she ended up drunk and was intimate with Zhai Sheng for the first time. But thankfully, she had her menses after half a month.

Thereafter, she held the wedding banquet with Zhai Sheng in January and moved into the Zhai family’s residence. They had a normal married life for several days before Zhai Sheng left for work.

Then, Qiao Nan went back to school and worked hard to catch up on her studies. She tried hard to make up for all the time lost during the winter break when she had her wedding.

There had been too many things going on that Qiao Nan forgot about something important. She had not had her menses for two consecutive months…

“What’s wrong?” Seeing that Qiao Nan was silent, Zhai Hua probed.

Qiao Nan blushed slightly. “Sister Zhai Hua, I don’t think there is anything wrong with me. There is no need to see the doctor. Can you accompany me to the supermarket?” She wondered if the supermarket or the pharmacy had pregnancy kits in this day and age.

Qiao Nan felt awkward with Tian Dong around. It was alright if Zhai Hua was the only one with her.

Qiao Nan felt that there was no need for her to go to other departments to do the checkup. She would know what was wrong with her if she went directly to the gynecology department.

“No. Don’t be willful. I am here with you and you have to listen to me. If not, I will make a call home and my mom will ask the chauffeur to send her to the hospital and make sure that you see the doctor. She will only leave after she hears the doctor’s diagnosis.” Zhai Hua wanted to roll her eyes at Qiao Nan. It was true that no one was perfect. Qiao Nan, who was good in all aspects, behaved like a three-year-old kid who was afraid of seeing the doctor. Could it be that she was scared of taking injections?

Qiao Nan could tell that Zhai Hua was determined and would not change her mind. She took a deep breath and leaned closer to whisper to her.

Zhai Hua was dumbfounded. “Are you certain?”

“If I am certain, I would not go to the hospital with you. But I have not had my menses for two months.” Qiao Nan felt a mixture of shock and surprise. Her hands could not help but tremble.
