Susu sat back down at his desk and said with emotion, "At that time, we didn't even know each other existed, nor did we know each other. My fate with him is truly inexplicable. Now I truly believe that saying, if it's meant to be, it will find you no matter what."
Song Jiaping savored her last sentence and murmured, "Is that so?"
"Anyway, I believe in fate now."
Song Jiaping nodded and said to the nurse, "Ask her husband to come in."
Upon hearing that he could go in, Tianyi hurried to the consultation room and, holding Susu's hand, asked, "How are you? Are you okay?"
"Husband, Dr. Song just examined me. How could I not be okay?" Susu said, winking at him to tell him not to be so petty.
Tianyi, however, directly asked Song Jiaping, "Other doctors give check-up slips, why didn't you give my wife a check-up slip and send her to the lab?"
Song Jiaping smiled slightly, picked up a stack of examination reports Susu had done, and said, "Susu has had all the necessary examinations. Our examination equipment is no different from other hospitals. Do you think there's any need to do these checks again?"
"If you don't do any checks, then what diagnosis did you give your wife?" Tianyi asked indignantly.
Susu subtly tugged his clothes and said, "Husband, sit down and listen carefully to what Dr. Song has to suggest."
Tianyi felt like he was punching cotton. He had no choice but to sit with Susu and said to Song Jiaping with annoyance, "What exactly did you find? Is my wife's pregnancy dangerous?"
Song Jiaping looked at Susu and said solemnly, "Your pregnancy is a scar pregnancy, and it is indeed dangerous. I have two options for you to choose from. One is to terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible. Although there will be some risks, I can use a relatively advanced minimally invasive surgical method, and there should be no major problems."
Susu asked with some hesitation, "If I want to keep this child, what about the second option?"
"For the second option, I will help you by massaging your abdomen with a special technique, hoping to help the fetus move below the scar as it develops. If the fetus is not attached to the scar later, there will be no risk."
Tianyi, disliking him, didn't believe either of the options he presented and asked dismissively, "Whichever of your two options we choose, can you guarantee that my wife will be one hundred percent fine?"
"No," Song Jiaping said bluntly. "No option is one hundred percent risk-free, and no doctor would dare to give you that guarantee. Whether you choose me as your attending physician or which option you choose is entirely up to you."
Susu thought for a moment and said, "Dr. Song, I trust you. I choose the second option..."
Before she could finish, Tianyi pulled her up and said forcefully, "We're not choosing anything. Let's go!"
"I'm sorry, Dr. Song. My husband and I will discuss it," Susu said apologetically, following Tianyi as they left.
On the way back, Tianyi's face was grim, and he remained silent.
Susu took the initiative to link her arm with his and coaxed him, "Husband, let's trust Dr. Song and choose the second option to keep the baby..."
"How did he examine you? Did he touch your belly, or anywhere else?" Tianyi completely ignored what she was saying, his heart filled with a bitter ache.
Susu said with amusement, "He's a doctor. It's rare for doctors not to rely too much on instruments; he has ancestral skills. When I was pregnant with Xiao Xingxing, my baby was in a breech position close to the due date. The prison hospital didn't have many advanced instruments. It was all thanks to Dr. Song's massage that the baby's head turned downwards, allowing me to deliver smoothly."
"You said I was talking nonsense earlier, and now look at you, you're practically a fangirl of that Song Jiaping," Tianyi said, still huffing.
Susu chuckled and nudged him with her elbow, "If it weren't for Dr. Song, there wouldn't be me and Xiao Xingxing. You should be thanking him, but you're being so rude and petty."
Tianyi realized then that he had been too petty, but he refused to admit it, saying stubbornly, "I wasn't. I was quite polite to him."
"Then you agree with his second option."
Tianyi gently pushed her head away, "Who says I agree with his option? He can't guarantee your and the baby's one hundred percent safety."
"Husband, we've seen four doctors, and none of them can guarantee it..."
"Let me think about it again." He still couldn't accept a male doctor massaging Susu all the time.
Susu leaned towards him again, "As long as you're not anxious anymore, it's fine. Anyway, any doctor would say we need to observe."
Tianyi couldn't help but ask again, "Did he touch you? Where did he touch?"
"Qin Tianyi, are you done?" Susu pinched his cheek, getting angry, "He's an obstetrician, of course, he'd examine my abdomen with his hands, and it was through my clothes!"
Tianyi felt a little better. He reached out and hugged her, his tone softening, "Okay, okay, it was me being petty. Please don't be angry. Let me consult further and then decide, alright?"
Susu hummed in agreement. In fact, she wasn't that scared herself. She had seen many doctors and knew exactly what precautions to take and what the consequences might be.
She had heard Dr. Song's second option just now, and she believed in Song Jiaping's ability to help her move the fetus to a safe position.
She remembered being very scared when she was about to give birth to Xiao Xingxing in prison. Fortunately, Dr. Song had been comforting her.
Dr. Song said he had ancestral skills and told her to rest assured, guaranteeing that she would give birth smoothly.
Later, with Dr. Song's help, she successfully gave birth to Xiao Xingxing. At that time, she didn't know how to thank him, nor did she have the means to.
After she was released from prison, she had thought about taking Xiao Xingxing to thank him, but he was no longer at the prison hospital, and no one knew where he had gone.
Fortunately, this time An Jing had found Song Jiaping and introduced him to Tianyi, giving her the chance to see Song Jiaping again.
Tianyi could feel Susu's happiness upon meeting Song Jiaping, which still made him uncomfortable.
Song Jiaping's willingness to present these two options was indeed quite tempting, but when he thought that Song Jiaping might also have lingering feelings for Susu, he felt he needed to be wary, and he was also conflicted.
...
The next morning, Tianyi called An Jing to his office.
As soon as he saw An Jing, he wanted to scold him. Before An Jing could speak, he quickly said, "I didn't expect you to be so averse to male doctors. It's my fault for introducing such a doctor to you. We'll look for other doctors."
Tianyi slammed the table in anger and said, "That's not the issue now. Even if I don't like that doctor, Susu is smitten with him!"
"Ah," An Jing said with surprised laughter, "Who is this Dr. Song? Has Susu fallen for him at first sight?"
