Chapter 222: We Only Have Parting on Good Terms, There Is No Parting

When Qiao Mai hurried over with the obstetrician, Zhu Yuan was retching while hunched over in Sheng Yu's arms.

She looked extremely uncomfortable.

Sheng Yu used one arm to support her, while his other hand alternately patted her back and stroked her face, his entire demeanor one of restless agitation.

The moment he saw Qiao Mai, he darkened his face, "What are you still standing there for!"

"Hurry." Qiao Mai waved a hand at the obstetrician behind him.

Zhu Yuan looked as if she had been drained of all strength from retching; her body was limp as she leaned against Sheng Yu's chest, his black shirt wrinkled and disheveled—a state of disarray he had never known before.

Yet he was completely unaware of it, his gaze fixed intently on Zhu Yuan's face, his fingers stiffly stroking her cheek, his expression stern, occasionally shifting his gaze to the middle-aged female doctor who was examining her.

"Why is she suddenly vomiting so violently?"

"Miss Zhu is in her first trimester, so morning sickness symptoms are quite normal."

No sooner had the doctor finished speaking than Sheng Yu's expression darkened further, "But before this, she didn't have any reaction at all."

If she had any abnormalities, Enzo and the villa's servants would have told him long ago.

If he hadn't kept such a clear record of her menstrual cycle and noticed that her period was significantly delayed this time, it would have been nearly impossible to tell she was pregnant just from her outward appearance.

"This..." the doctor said professionally and calmly, "Everyone's situation with morning sickness is different; some people experience it every day from early pregnancy until delivery, while others have no morning sickness at all throughout their entire pregnancy, and still others have it on and off. Just because Miss Zhu didn't have it before doesn't mean she won't have it later, and furthermore..."

She hesitated for a moment and said, "If there are significant emotional fluctuations in a short period, that can also have an effect."

Significant emotional fluctuations...

Sheng Yu frowned.

He grabbed the hand Zhu Yuan had hanging at her side, clutched it tightly in his palm, and asked the doctor with a serious expression, "Is there any way to stop her from vomiting?"

"There is no way to stop it completely, only to alleviate the symptoms of morning sickness. If she cannot eat because of the vomiting, we will have to consider an IV drip."

Hearing this, Sheng Yu's expression did not improve in the slightest.

Only alleviate it, so she would still vomit!

The doctor added, "You should also pay close attention to what Miss Zhu came into contact with before she started retching, and avoid those things in the future."

A flash of annoyance crossed Sheng Yu's eyes.

He had brought her into the kitchen; she must have retched after smelling the food.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hold Zhu Yuan tighter, lowering his head to kiss her forehead, "I won't let you go to the kitchen next time."

Zhu Yuan closed her eyes in exhaustion, and a nurse poured some water and handed it to her, "Miss Zhu, drinking some water will make you feel a bit better."

Although weak and powerless, Zhu Yuan still whispered a thank you.

Before she could even lift her hand to take the cup, Sheng Yu took it a step ahead of her, brought the cup to her lips, and said in a gentle tone, fearing he might startle her in her weakened state, "Drink slowly."

Zhu Yuan opened her mouth and took a small sip.

A wave of acid rose in her stomach, and as she turned, Sheng Yu was quick-witted and caught her in his arms, extending an arm to support her; Zhu Yuan leaned against his chest and vomited everything she had just drunk.

Watching her look of pain and discomfort, Sheng Yu clenched his jaw, and the water cup in his hand emitted a faint *crack* sound, leaving no doubt that he might crush it in the next second.

"Think of a way, quickly!"

After Zhu Yuan caught her breath, she leaned limply against Sheng Yu's chest and murmured, "I have a way."

"Don't even think about it." Sheng Yu interrupted her directly, set the cup down, pulled out a tissue to carefully wipe the corner of her mouth, and said in a low voice, "I won't let you leave me, and I won't let anything happen to our child."

"Then what is Director Sheng still pretending for? Besides those two things, what else could possibly make me feel better?" Zhu Yuan was weak and powerless, but every word was like a blade.

The others in the room didn't dare to breathe a word after seeing the state of these two.

Enzo stood at the door of the room, caught in a dilemma.

One was Sheng Yu, who had treated him with great kindness like a brother, and the other was Zhu Yuan, who treated him as a friend; both sides were equally precious to him.

How did it end up like this!

Qiao Mai followed the obstetrician's advice and instructed a nurse to fetch some Vitamin B6, which he handed to Sheng Yu, "Young Master Yu, this can alleviate Miss Zhu's morning sickness."

Sheng Yu held Zhu Yuan and fed the pill into her mouth.

Fortunately, this time Zhu Yuan took the pill and drank the water without vomiting again.

"Do you feel a little better?" Sheng Yu asked her in a gentle tone.

The others were all somewhat incredulous.

When had Sheng Yu ever spoken to anyone like this?

However, they didn't dare to stay long, and after Zhu Yuan took the Medicine, they exited the room.

Leaving only the two of them behind.

Zhu Yuan closed her eyes, "If you don't speak, I'll feel a bit better. Also, if you don't appear in front of me, I might never vomit again."

"Don't say things out of anger; I'm not going anywhere." Sheng Yu placed her on the bed, thinking that since she had just vomited, she surely couldn't eat anything, so he lay down beside her and gently pulled her into his arms.

Zhu Yuan didn't say another word to him.

Her body was too exhausted; after she closed her eyes, she drifted in a daze, as if she were asleep, yet also as if she were awake.

Sheng Yu occasionally heard her muttering in her sleep; he opened his eyes to look at her in his arms and did not close them for a long time.

Zhu Yuan didn't wake up until noon the next day.

The moment she saw Sheng Yu, she closed her eyes again.

"Don't go to the theater troupe anymore; you are pregnant now and cannot handle high-intensity rehearsals and performances."

Zhu Yuan was startled; she opened her eyes and glared at the man sitting by the bed, "What right do you have to restrict my activities? That is my job; you have no right to interfere!"

"Your top priority is to take care of your health. You can't even take care of yourself, so how can you manage your work?" Sheng Yu's bottomless black eyes climbed with a trace of gentleness, his hand stroking her long hair, "Be good."

Seeing such a look in Sheng Yu's eyes, Zhu Yuan felt a chill run down her spine, her two eyes red as if bloodshot on her pale face, "What do you take me for now? A tool to give birth to your children?"

"You have a ready-made wife and child, why can't you just let me leave!"

She said hoarsely, "I will fulfill your wishes; can't we just part on good terms?"

"Yuanyuan, we only have 'parting on good terms,' there is no 'parting' at all."
