The Enemy's Heir - Chapter 6

“Shen, Fang, Yu——”

Jiang Xu stood up directly, and with a “clang” the chair behind him was overturned.

Yu Sang carefully lifted the chair. Almost all the doctors who were chatting were frightened and quieted down. They looked at Jiang Xu and then at Shen Fangyu.

They wouldn’t fight again today. Who made them sit face to face? Shouldn’t this compensate the people’s injured hearts?

Wu Rui glared at Shen Fangyu. He knew that Shen Fangyu’s broken mouth would cause trouble sooner or later. He patted Jiang Xu on the back and advised: “Calm down, calm down.” He said: “It’s all my fault, senior brother. I was just telling Fang Yu about my wife’s pregnancy reaction, and he was joking with you.”

However, Jiang Xu, who had been staring at Shen Fangyu, suddenly trembled when he heard the words.

The four big words “pregnancy reaction” from Wu Rui’s mouth slammed into his mind, occupying his mind at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Dizziness, fatigue, aversion to greasy food, nausea and vomiting… These are textbook pregnancy reactions. He is an obstetrician and gynecologist, and is very familiar with these symptoms, but he has never thought about it in this way before.

Wu Rui was ready to mediate the fight, but he never expected that after he persuaded Jiang Xu, Jiang Xu would just… sit down quietly.

Although his face looked a little bad, after all, a war was resolved. Wu Rui looked at him in disbelief, and suddenly said to himself: “Is my eloquence so good? Should I resign and work as a mediator in the police station?”

“Yes, the next Nobel Peace Prize must go to Wu Ge.” Shen Fangyu said very cooperatively. He was also a little puzzled. Jiang Xu was too easy to talk to today.

However, Jiang Xu suddenly stood up again. When everyone thought that he had thought it through or was ready to fight Shen Fangyu, he suddenly patted Yu Sang on the shoulder and walked out of the lounge.

Yu Sang looked at him in confusion, then looked at others for help, only to find that almost all his colleagues looked at him with encouragement and expectation, as if writing a line of big words: “Come on, you can definitely solve a war.”

So Yu Sang’s troubled eyes gradually became firm, and finally he followed Jiang Xu out with his head held high and chest out, full of faith, like a people’s hero.

Then he saw Jiang Xu leaning against the wall, one leg supporting the wall, the other leg slightly bent, he lowered his head, pressed his hand on the bridge of his nose, and looked very tired. The pale light of the corridor shone on him, and Yu Sang suddenly realized that Jiang Xu had lost a lot of weight recently, and even the shirt he was wearing looked empty.

Seeing him coming, Jiang Xu waved, and when he came closer, he lowered his voice and asked: “If a patient had s*x two months ago, and now has nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue and dizziness, what is the reason?”

Yu Sang had long been accustomed to Jiang Xu checking his test points anytime and anywhere, but he was a little surprised that this question was so basic. Although it was strange, he still blurted out: “Pregnancy.”

Jiang Xu took a deep breath, as if he was trying his best to suppress some kind of impulse, and continued to ask: “What if this patient is a man.”

“…” This question is a bit beyond the scope.

“How about,” Yu Sang said tentatively: “Go check hcg too?”

Jiang Xu: “?”

Yu Sang was sure that after he finished speaking, Jiang Xu showed an expression that he was going to throw him into the sea to feed the sharks in the next second, so he quickly changed his words: “I just said it casually, it may be a digestive tract disease.”

Jiang Xu pinched his eyebrows and waved at him: “Tell them that I don’t feel well and go back first.”

“Oh…” Yu Sang watched Jiang Xu leave in confusion.

He has been following Jiang Xu for many years, but this is the first time he has seen Jiang Xu show such an expression. He looked at Jiang Xu’s thin back, as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind, and suddenly wanted to persuade him to eat more and not work so hard.

However, obstetricians and gynecologists are the same as surgeons. Because of the large number of surgeries and constant running around, they walk very fast, as if they are in a hurry to be reincarnated. Therefore, when he wanted to speak, Jiang Xu had already walked away. He sighed and walked back to the lounge.

Everyone was still having dinner, and the office was empty. Jiang Xu stared at the documents on the computer in a daze. After ten minutes, he was still reading the first line. He turned off the computer in a daze and prepared to go off work.

It was already dark outside, and looking up, he could still see the moon.

There was a very tall camphor tree outside the department. There was a bird’s nest deep in the fork of the camphor tree. The mother bird had just given birth to a nest of chicks, and was feeding them at this moment. They were chirping and very lively.

Jiang Xu’s eyes paused on the bird’s nest, and then looked at the hospital building behind the tree.

After a while, Jiang Xu stopped going out and sat back in the office. He closed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, and dialed a phone. “Is this the duty room of the laboratory department?”

His voice was very faint, like the wind at night.

The other side said “hmm”, “What’s the matter?”

“Are you busy over there now?”

“Okay.”

Jiang Xu turned his work badge and his eyes fell on himself in the photo. “I’m sending a urine sample up now. Please help me test an hcg. The bill will be put on my personal head. I’m Jiang Xu from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.”

It is quite common for doctors in the same hospital to use the back door to bring themselves or their relatives to send samples and do examinations, usually to save money.

All departments are colleagues, and they have always turned a blind eye. Such examinations generally do not ask the name, do not record the patient’s information, and directly give the results to the doctor who brought the person.

Although it was a bit strange that Dr. Jiang had to pay for it, the doctor on duty in the laboratory did not ask more questions, but gave him a positive answer, “The results may be out later, don’t wait, get up tomorrow morning to check.”

Jiang Xu: “Yes.”

However, Jiang Xu rarely fell asleep tonight. He did not want to admit that he was insomniac because he was waiting for the results of the laboratory. He

couldn’t tell why, but he felt it was ridiculous. As a man, even if he had symptoms similar to pregnancy reactions, it was impossible for him to be pregnant. However, Jiang Xu couldn’t sleep at all.

The indicator he asked the laboratory to check was human chorionic gonadotropin, which is a common examination indicator in early pregnancy. But even if it was really elevated, it was not necessarily pregnancy. It could also be pituitary dysfunction or many kinds of malignant tumors.

Jiang Xu even thought seriously about which one was more devastating, cancer or pregnancy.

Shen Fangyu’s face appeared again and again in his mind, and even many details that he had forgotten that night slowly returned to his memory.

While he was anxiously waiting for the result, he felt that he was simply sick.

A professional obstetrician and gynecologist couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night because he suspected that a man was pregnant. If he told others about it, his colleagues would laugh at him.

However, when the phone beeped, he suddenly unlocked the phone and opened the file sent by the doctor in the laboratory.

On the fresh test report, there was only one indicator in black and white.

Jiang Xu’s eyes seemed to be able to burn a hole in the test sheet. He stared at the familiar indicator and the soaring value at the back, and came to an obvious conclusion.

Either the instrument is broken, or the world is crazy.

He almost jumped out of bed at night and called Tang Ke.
