Chapter 642: How About We Get a Divorce?

City People's Hospital, Reproductive Assistance Department.

Du Xi sat on the bench in the hallway, feeling uneasy; her hands were tightly clasped, and her lips had turned somewhat pale.

Suddenly, she felt a warm touch on the back of her hand. She turned her head to look and saw Tang Ye nodding gently at her, silently signaling that she need not be nervous.

Not far away, several young men and women in their twenties were quietly observing Tang Ye and Du Xi.

As young couples who had also come for reproductive check-ups, everyone naturally knew the reason for each other's presence.

It was just that Tang Ye and Du Xi's outstanding appearances and unique temperaments made them stand out in the crowd.

"Number 28, Du Xi. Please come in!"

The Nurse walked to the door to call the number. Tang Ye and Du Xi stood up immediately and walked into the office together.

The department head's surname was Wu. Seeing it was Tang Ye, she nodded at him and said in a gentle tone, "The check-up results from before the new year are out. Sit down first, and let's have a good chat. Don't be too nervous; medicine is so advanced now that many problems have solutions."

Hearing this, Tang Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly looked toward Du Xi.

Du Xi bit her lip tightly, her eyes turning red; she looked as if she were about to cry.

The department head picked up a lab report and said to Tang Ye, "Your reproductive test data is all normal, with no issues at all. The problem lies with the female side."

As she spoke, she took out an ultrasound scan, pointed to a spot, and explained, "The female's physiological structure is healthy overall, but there is a situation here that needs attention—there is a hypoechoic mass in the muscular wall of the posterior uterine wall, and the boundary is relatively clear; this is likely a uterine fibroid."

The moment the words "uterine fibroid" reached her ears, the color drained from Du Xi's face instantly.

She asked with a trembling voice, "Doctor, does that mean it's my body that has the problem, which is why I haven't been able to conceive? But I've had check-ups before, and this was never detected!"

The department head replied patiently, "Previous check-ups might have had oversights and failed to accurately detect this situation. Don't worry too much; this situation can be resolved through surgery."

"Then how long after the surgery can I have a baby?" Du Xi asked urgently.

"It will likely take about two years, so I suggest you arrange the treatment as soon as possible," the department head said earnestly.

Du Xi fell silent, her inner anxiety growing even heavier.

Tang Ye spoke softly, "Thank you, Auntie Wu, then please help us arrange the surgery."

The department head nodded slightly, "Alright, once everything is arranged, I will notify you."

Walking out of the office, Du Xi could no longer hold it in; she covered her face and burst into tears.

Tang Ye hurriedly pulled her tightly into his arms, gently kissing her hair, and secretly vowed in his heart: no matter what happens, he must protect Du Xi well and always stand firmly behind her.

Once inside the car, Du Xi's emotions completely collapsed, and she repeated through her tears, "Hubby, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Tang Ye first helped her fasten her seatbelt, then reached out to gently stroke her hair and said softly, "Silly, why are you saying sorry to me? You're sick, it's not like you chose to become like this on purpose."

The usually spirited Du Xi was crying like a child at this moment; this huge contrast made Tang Ye's own eyes sting.

"I've always been trying so hard, and I had check-ups before; I really didn't expect those check-ups to have issues..." Du Xi said, choking back sobs.

Tang Ye wanted to ease the heavy atmosphere and jokingly teased, "If we're talking about apologies, I actually have something to apologize to you for. Those nourishing soups Mom makes for me are actually terrible to drink; I force myself to drink them every time, and it feels like a 'torture massage' for my stomach."

"So every time you said it tasted good, you were lying to me!" Du Xi was indeed amused and the corners of her mouth curled up, but the smile vanished in an instant, and she said dejectedly in a low voice, "Hubby, how about... let's get a divorce? Although I can't bear to leave you, I can't drag you down like this either."

Tang Ye immediately pressed his finger to her lips, his expression exceptionally serious and earnest: "Du Xi, you are never allowed to say the word divorce. We swore to grow old together for a lifetime; we must uphold this promise."

Tears welled up from the corners of Du Xi's eyes again, and she sobbed as she asked, "But you're an only child; if we never have children, what should we do?"

Tang Ye gently wiped away her tears and comforted her patiently: "First, didn't Auntie Wu say that as long as you have the surgery, you can recover and will definitely be able to conceive later. Second, even if we really don't have children, I have chosen you for this life, and that will never change."

Du Xi grabbed Tang Ye's hand tightly and choked out, "Hubby, I didn't mean what I said just now... I won't divorce you; I want to be with you for the rest of my life. I was just... just a bit anxious, afraid that you wouldn't want me anymore..."

Tang Ye looked at this woman before him who was filled with nothing but him, feeling both pain and warmth in his heart. Du Xi was the one who was sick, yet she hadn't considered the risks of the surgery or whether it would hurt; all her worries were entirely about losing him.

Just then, Du Xi's phone rang.

She answered the call and said in a hoarse voice, "Mom, the check-up results are out. The doctor said I have uterine fibroids and have to have surgery first before I can have a baby."

On the other end of the line, Xiao Qin seemed struck by lightning; she was stunned for a moment before coming to her senses and hurriedly comforted her: "Xi Xi, it's okay, you must be strong. I have a friend whose daughter had this illness too, and a few years after the surgery, she gave birth to a big, healthy boy. Now that the problem is found, we will treat it actively; don't have any psychological burden."

Du Xi's eyes were red as she said guiltily, "Mom, I've made you and Dad worry..."

Xiao Qin sighed, her tone full of heartache: "Silly child, this is something that couldn't be helped; we'll just face it properly."

Tang Ye took Du Xi to a nearby shopping mall for a while, wanting to use this method to make Du Xi feel better.

However, human emotions are strange and difficult to change through external forces.

Returning to Xiyue Garden, they found someone busy in the kitchen; Qin Lan heard the commotion and walked out of the kitchen.

Seeing Du Xi, she immediately walked over and hugged her gently.

Du Xi was a bit surprised by this unexpected embrace, and also a bit moved.

"Your mom told me the results, and I know you're feeling very bad right now. Don't have too much of a psychological burden; whatever the problem is, we will face it together."

Upon learning the results, Du Xi had actually been afraid to face Qin Lan.

Conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in television dramas often revolve around having children.

She was afraid that Qin Lan would blame her for being a hen that couldn't lay eggs.

But at this moment, Qin Lan's stance made Du Xi feel relieved.

Qin Lan was different from other mothers-in-law.

Du Xi felt that she was unfortunate, yet also fortunate!
