Chapter 491: A second try (3)

The next day, Jianyu and Serena were present exactly at the appointed time.

Dr. Lin Qian, a famous and acknowledged gynecologist worldwide, welcomed them with a smile. She had a solid repertoire in the field of child care and childbirth. According to Shin, she had even treated seemingly impossible cases for couples who couldn’t have a child for one or another reason and had published many impressive research papers on the development of new technologies and medicines that could help in overcoming infertility.

“Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Chen. Dr. Liang Shin talked to me about you. Please have a seat.”

She observed Serena, who was seemed to be very nervous.

Dr. Lin warmly smiled. “Mrs. Chen. Don’t worry. Everything would be fine.”

Serena felt a little embarrassed. “Thank you…”

Jianyu gently squeezed her hand and nodded. Serena smiled in return and felt much better.

He looked at Dr. Lin and said, “Good morning. We have heard a lot about you from Shin.”

Dr. Lin smiled. “It’s an honor for me that Dr. Liang puts me in high regard. We have met quite a few times in various medical associations. Yesterday, he called me and explained everything to me about Mrs. Chen’s condition.”

They nodded.

She chuckled. “And he also told me how you were resistant in having a checkup.”

Jianyu scratched his chin. “Ah well…I just didn’t want to be too hopeful that it…”

She shook her head. “I understand your concern, Mr. Chen. I am glad you chose to agree to this checkup. It could be that your wife’s condition may have gotten better after that accident, or maybe there are treatment options available that may not have been there five years ago. That is my job to look for.”

“First, we will have to do a few tests to check her condition. Mrs. Chen. Please come with me. You don’t need to be scared. The tests are easy.”

She nodded.

Jianyu whispered. “Don’t worry. I am here, okay? Whatever the result might be, it will not change anything between us.”

Serena took a deep breath. “En.”

—

An hour later, Serena came back with all the tests done. Dr. Lin asked them to wait for an hour more for the results to come out.

She came back, holding Serena’s file in her hand.

“Mr. Chen. Mrs. Chen. The checkup results are out. I have read through them in detail.”

Their hearts raced in trepidation. They felt as if they wanted to know the answer, and at the same time, they didn’t.

Dr. Lin smiled. “You can relax your brows because the test results are partially positive.”

They were dumbfounded.

Serena blinked her eyes. “P-partially positive meaning?”

Jianyu said, “Yes, I didn’t understand either.”

Dr. Lin said, “It means that Mrs. Chen’s condition over the last five years has indeed improved. I have compared the report from five years ago and the test results we did just now. Her uterus seems to be in better shape. Our bodies have their own healing mechanism that tries to cope with our different injuries. Of course, in case of major ones, just the bodily functions are not enough, but to an extent, the natural healing process has considerably improved her condition.”

That was good news, no actually, breaking news for them.

Serena almost couldn’t back hold her tears. Jianyu was feeling just as emotional as her. Words weren’t enough to explain just how much lighter he felt right now. He desperately prayed for any sliver of hope, and there was indeed a ray of hope.

Jianyu choked a bit as he hoarsely said, “So…so you mean that Serena can get pregnant a second time?”

Dr. Lin said, “Yes, but not now. Not immediately. As I said, the results are partially positive. So her uterus is not completely healed enough to safely hold a child for nine months and deliver at the end of it. That is why Mrs. Chen would have to go through a series of treatments and a little diet change so that we recover the remaining fifty percent.”

Serena asked as she clutched her dress in anticipation. “So, it’s possible that I can get…normal again?”

“Yes, Mrs. Chen. It’s absolutely possible. With the treatment and medicine and a comprehensive healthy diet plan, it will take up to three months when you will fully recover. In medicine, we have made quite advancements that it’s possible to treat almost 90 percent of all cases pertaining to infertility or recovery treatments, as in your case, after an accident.”

Jianyu asked, “And after that, there would be no problems at all? Not even during the delivery?”

“No, Mr. Chen. Of course, we will continue to monitor her condition and the baby’s health thoroughly in the nine months. But once her uterus is healed, there will be no problems. After three months are over, we will test her again, and then, according to her fertile period when she is ovulating, I will deduce the best time for you two to have intercourse.”

Serena’s eyes rimmed in tears, and she finally couldn’t hold them back.

This was the best news. They waited for five years. What are three months more if Serena could fully recover?

“Jianyu…did you hear? She said that it’s possible…After three months, only three more months Jianyu…We can really have a second child!”

Jianyu wanted to say so many things, but he felt choked up in his throat. Even he couldn’t control his tears.

“Yes…”

He pulled Serena in her arms and hugged her tightly as he sobbed quietly.

Dr. Lin smiled. This was the part she loved the most about her job. When the to-be parents found hope in having a child, it was just as joyful to her as to them.

Whenever they cried in happiness like that, she felt a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction to know that she helped change their lives for the better.

She slowly got up without disturbing them and stepped out as she knew that they needed some privacy after this.

Serena laughed as tears streamed down her cheeks. “You are crying even more than me.”

“Shut up.”

Then he stared at her and leaned in to gently kiss her lips. Serena held his head and kissed him back.

Jianyu smiled.

It never bothered him that she couldn’t give him another child, but if there was a way to heal her, why wouldn’t he want it? Of course, he wanted her not to suffer from any condition.

He said, “Let’s give this good news to everyone. I guess everybody would be waiting for it.”

She giggled. “Yes!”
