NOVEL NEXT Chapter 32: Chapter 32 I Love Only You
"There are still many things to be aware of. Now that you're at this stage, if you feel tired every day, you don't need to exercise anymore. Let's skip the post-meal walks too. It's time to start thinking about the delivery. It's best to book a private hospital bed in advance because the triplets are likely to be born by cesarean section.
When the time comes, you can just come straight to the hospital."
"Your abdominal circumference will continue to grow, and your belly will get even bigger. Natural childbirth is not good for both the baby and mother. So you need to be mentally prepared."
Lin Yi was worried about this very thing, and after hearing the doctor's advice, he decisively booked a private delivery room in advance. After all, with a big family and many people, he had to provide the most comfortable rest environment for his wife and babies.
Han Xuewei just sat there silently, patiently waiting for her husband to complete the procedures.
She now had trouble even walking, and would get tired if she moved around too much. Aside from resting, she refrained from thinking about anything else.
Hearing what the doctor had just said, it seemed like the hard times were still ahead!
If she gave birth to the three babies by cesarean section, there would be a long scar on her stomach, and maybe even stretch marks! They say those are very ugly and that the skin on the stomach completely loses its elasticity.
Moreover, giving birth to triplets might have greater side effects than just having one child!
Thinking of all these unpleasant things, Han Xuewei couldn't help but sigh and her eyes began to well up with tears.
At this moment, she wondered, what if her husband started to despise her because of these things?
Han Xuewei also suddenly realized that she had been having some strange thoughts lately, always considering her husband and child's well-being.
The more she thought, the sourer her heart felt, and her nose stinged with emotion.
Han Xuewei was even a bit worried that she might be suffering from what is called depression, which she heard is most likely to occur postpartum. That's why she was being very careful in everything she did.
When Lin Yi finished the procedures and came back to her, Han Xuewei shared her thoughts with her husband.
He too was very concerned upon hearing this. This was definitely an issue that needed attention! Fortunately, Han Xuewei had shared her worries, otherwise, having her dwell on these problems alone could have indeed led to depression.
Lin Yi began to reflect on his behavior as well, realizing that in recent days, he had been overly concerned with the babies in the womb, possibly neglecting his wife's feelings.
It was clear that he needed to change. His wife was the most important, and while taking good care of the three children, he needed to keep her at the center and care more about her feelings.
Lin Yi comforted his wife with great care, whispering, "Wife, please be assured, I will always love you just like now! How could I despise you? You've been so good to me, even made me a father. If I did despise you, everyone would condemn me! That kind of behavior would be utterly inhumane, wouldn't it?"
"Husband will continue to dote on you as always, I won't allow you to think of these things anymore! Don't worry, in this lifetime, I only love you! Also, the car we bought is registered in your name, and tomorrow I will add your name to the property deed as well. And let's sign an agreement that if I ever do anything bad to you, I will leave with nothing! Not a single penny!"
Han Xuewei immediately covered Lin Yi's mouth with her hand, stopping him from saying more.
"Don't say such things, I've never thought about any of this. Maybe I'm just... thinking too much for a moment; there's no need for you to worry too much."
"Then I'll stop talking about it, wife. You now need to pay attention to rest properly and can't have these negative thoughts anymore! I need to give you enough sense of security. How could I disregard you when you're about to give birth to our three lovely babies?! I would never do something so outrageous!"
Lin Yi consoled her with a concerned look on his face, fearing even the slightest instability in his wife's emotions!
After all, depression is no joke, especially when a pregnant woman suffers from it. Whether before or after birth, it's very detrimental to both mother and baby!
Lin Yi still had a lifetime to spend with his wife. How could he bear to let her suffer the torment of illness?
About a few days later, Lin Yi's parents, as well as Han Xuewei's parents, rushed over to accompany the couple.
The parents also discussed taking care of the formalities for the couple to take a leave of absence from school since the school required parents to handle the procedures, and Han Xuewei, with her pregnant belly, was already finding it inconvenient to go out.
The leave of absence was arranged for one year, so after the baby was born, Han Xuewei could have a peaceful postpartum confinement period, and the couple could spend a few more months with their child.
A few days later, Aunt Wang also recovered from her foot injury and came back early to take care of them.
Life for the couple became much more comfortable.
Now, the big family was thoroughly reunited, and the atmosphere was harmonious and joyful with everyone together!
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Han Xuewei's phone began to ring.
She was woken up from her sleep, rubbed her bleary eyes, and slowly picked up the phone that was charging on the bedside table.
The doctor had specifically instructed her to get enough sleep and to put her phone on airplane mode while sleeping, but evidently, she had forgotten to do so the previous night.
Looking at the screen, she saw dozens of missed calls and quite a few unread WeChat messages!
Upon closer inspection, she realized that all these messages were from her college friend, Qin Xiaoxu.
Feeling puzzled, Han Xuewei wondered why Qin Xiaoxu would be in such a rush to contact her so early in the morning, calling and messaging.
Without overthinking it, she immediately returned the call.
"Vivi! Thank goodness, I've finally reached you! Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?" Qin Xiaoxu's excited voice came through the phone, though her tone seemed somewhat angry.
Han Xuewei asked anxiously, "What's happened? You scared me to death. Seeing that you had called me so many times, I hurriedly called you back after I saw it."
On the other end of the phone, Qin Xiaoxu started yelling, "Such an important matter and I have to chase you down for it? I am very, very angry! And I don't want to hear your explanations!"
"How could there be secrets between best friends? Why didn't you tell me right away that you were pregnant? I didn't even know you were married!"
After hearing this, Han Xuewei was also startled and asked in surprise, "You already know I'm pregnant? How did you find out?"
Listening to Han Xuewei's response, Qin Xiaoxu was so angry she could hardly contain herself. "You've done a great job keeping it a secret! Well, you certainly didn't expect that someone from our school saw you going to the hospital with a man, and you even entered the ultrasound room! They also saw you wearing a diamond ring at the time!"
