After having dinner today, Su Rou felt a bit uncomfortable in her lower abdomen. She frowned slightly and calculated the time. It seemed that it was about that time of the month.
She got up and went back to her room. Fortunately, among the daily necessities Wen Haotian had prepared for her, there were sanitary pads. Otherwise, she would have been in an awkward situation.
After putting on a sanitary pad, Su Rou felt a cramping pain in her abdomen. She gritted her teeth and took a couple of steps, but a sudden sharp pain hit her. Her legs instantly went weak, and she squatted on the ground. It hurt so much...
Oh no. Back at the Su family, she could rely on Sister Wang to boil medicine every day to treat her dysmenorrhea. But since she came here, she had stopped taking the medicine. It seemed that this old problem of dysmenorrhea was acting up again.
Su Rou propped her hands on the floor and tried to stand up, at least to lie on the bed. But the pain made her feel at a loss. If Su Yuze were by her side, he would surely give her a hot water bag to hold and make her a cup of brown sugar water.
But in the Wen family, she didn't want to ask Wen Haotian or Yao Yu for help at all.
Maybe... it would be better to go to bed and sleep for a while.
Su Rou managed to support herself and stand up. She almost inched her way to the bed. Just as her hands were about to touch the bed, another sharp cramp hit her. Su Rou's vision went black from the pain, and her body flopped down softly.
...
Around ten o'clock at night, Wen Haotian was about to go to his room to sleep. When passing by Su Rou's room, he unexpectedly found her door slightly ajar. Had she fallen asleep and forgotten to close the door?
Wen Haotian walked over and gently pushed the door open, wanting to see if Su Rou was asleep. But when he opened the door, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Xiaorou!"
Wen Haotian's loud voice also called out Yao Yu. "What's going on?" Yao Yu rushed out in a hurry and asked.
"Quick, call 911 quickly. Xiaorou doesn't seem right!"
Yao Yu didn't dare to be negligent. As soon as she saw Su Rou lying on the ground, she had already taken out her phone.
"I know. I'm calling!" Yao Yu's hands were trembling with excitement. "What's wrong with her? Does she have some illness?"
Wen Haotian frowned and shook his head. "Impossible. The physical examination at school the other day showed that she was in good health!"
"Then why..."
After about ten minutes or so, the ambulance roared over. Wen Haotian carried Su Rou into the ambulance. Along the way, Su Rou curled up her body and kept wriggling slightly, as if she was in great pain. Her face was covered in cold sweat, her clothes were soaked, and even her hair was wet in strands.
"Please drive faster!"
The ambulance drove to the nearest hospital. Wen Haotian reported his name, and the doctors immediately started arranging a ward. The Wen family was quite well - known in Washington, and naturally no one would dare to oppose him.
After a diagnosis, the doctors finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Mr. Wen, your daughter just has a relatively severe case of dysmenorrhea. She is currently on an IV drip. You should pay attention to keeping her warm usually."
Wen Haotian let out a sigh of relief. So it was just a minor problem for a girl. Yao Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a hint of sadness in her brows.
"Xiaoyu, let's go in and see Xiaorou." After all, Yao Yu was Su Rou's mother, and moreover, she was a woman. It was necessary for her to tell Su Rou what to pay attention to during her menstrual period.
Su Rou had just woken up. The doctor who had given her the injection smiled at her. "This painkiller is quite effective. Do you still feel pain now?"
Su Rou just felt completely drained, but her lower abdomen did not hurt as much as before. She said hoarsely, "Yes, I'm much better..."
"Good. A girl should take good care of her body. Do you know? Your body is quite weak..."
Just as the doctor was speaking, footsteps and faint conversations sounded at the door. The voice sounded very much like Wen Haotian's.
Su Rou immediately interrupted the doctor. "Sorry, please wait a moment."
The doctor smiled and nodded understandingly.
"Xiaorou, you're awake." Wen Haotian walked in. Seeing that Su Rou was awake, his slightly tense nerves finally relaxed. It was good to see that she was okay.
The doctor stood aside. "As long as the patient gets more rest, it will be fine."
"Then can we go home for the IV drip?" Wen Haotian asked.
"Oh, it's possi—"
"I'll just stay here."
"Xiaorou?" Wouldn't it be more comfortable to have the IV drip at home? The hospital was filled with the strong smell of disinfectant.
Su Rou shook her head. "My stomach hurts so much. I can't walk. You guys go back first and pick me up tomorrow." Her tone was full of tiredness.
Yao Yu looked at Su Rou's pale face. She really did look very exhausted. So she pulled Wen Haotian's hand. "Haotian, Xiaorou is tired. Let her rest here."
"...Okay." Anyway, there shouldn't be any problems.
As soon as Wen Haotian and the others left, Su Rou asked the doctor. Just now, the doctor had looked a bit regretful. Was it because her physical condition was more serious than just simple coldness in the uterus?
"Doctor, is there something wrong with my body...?" Su Rou asked.
"It's not a very big problem. You should have suffered from frostbite. Your coldness in the uterus is quite severe, which will have an impact on your future fertility." The doctor explained.
She didn't remember very clearly about her childhood, but Su Yuze had said that she was picked up in the snow. If it was frostbite... it should have been at that time.
However, it would affect her fertility?
"Do you mean I can't have a baby?" Su Rou frowned and asked.
"No. Your uterine development is normal. It will just affect the probability, not cause infertility." The doctor tossed her golden curly hair and put her hands in her pockets. "If you start to treat the coldness in the uterus properly from now on, there won't be any major problems."
Su Rou nodded. "I see." As long as it wasn't infertility, she would take good care of her body.
So, did this mean... Su Yuze had known about it long ago? The medicine Sister Wang had boiled for her at home should have been for getting rid of the coldness in the uterus.
It was the doctor's duty to tell the patient about the condition. "Okay, you should rest well. Don't worry about the IV drip finishing. The nurse will come to check."
"Okay."
Su Rou took out her phone from her pocket. Su Yuze had sent her several text messages at around nine o'clock, but at that time she had been in so much pain that she had fainted and hadn't had time to reply.
Su Rou dialed his number. Su Yuze answered quickly. "Xiaorou'er, why didn't you reply to my messages? Are you asleep?"
"No."
"What's wrong?" Hearing her tired voice, Su Yuze asked curiously.
"My period has come." Su Rou let out a sigh. "I'm in the hospital getting an IV drip... Brother Ze, can you come here?"
"Okay."
