Could it really be a terminal illness?
Don't blame Nianyang for not considering pregnancy; after all, she's never experienced it in this lifetime or the last. The illnesses she's treated have been mostly complex diseases, and she's rarely dealt with pregnant women. The most she's done is treat infertility.
Moreover, the chances of getting pregnant on the first try are very low. She hadn't even considered it. Right now, the pain was so intense that her ears were ringing, and her body was starting to tremble. All she could think about was the pain.
Facing everyone's concern, she tried hard to sit up and said weakly, "It's just my period causing severe pain. Pour me a cup of hot water, and I'll be fine."
Shi Nuan immediately went to get hot water for Nianyang. Nianyang took a sip, but instead of providing relief, the pain only intensified.
"Ouch."
She gritted her teeth, clutching the thin blanket beneath her tightly.
