Praying For Fate

Chapter 5.2

On his day off, Su YuanHeng picked up the business card left by Qiu ZhiYuan and hesitated for a long time before finally giving him a call.

"Dr. Su, is it you? What's the matter?"

"I......want to do a specialized examination. Would it be convenient for you (to do it)?"

Qiu ZhiYuan was silent for a moment, then responded, "Come to my private clinic. I'm a substitute at the community hospital. The business card has the address to the clinic. When are you coming?"

"Right now, can I?"

"Ok. I'll wait for you."

Following the address provided, Su YuanHeng went to his private clinic. It was not very far, just about thirty minutes of driving. There aren't many people in Qiu ZhiYuan's clinic, which made him a bit surprised.

"So you are a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner?"

"Hehehe, a combination of Chinese and Western medicine," Qiu ZhiYuan happily responded. "I was initially a Chinese medicine practitioner but suddenly became interested in Western medicine a few years ago so changed my profession at the last minute. However, the equipment here is complete so there are no issues in doing your checkup."

Su YuanHeng lowly muttered, "I don't want others to know about this matter, so I can only come to you ..."

"I understand," Qiu ZhiYuan smiled.

Su YuanHeng had a general examination and an ultrasound done. Sure enough, he's a month and a half pregnant. The results show that his abdominal cavity is similar to that of a woman's uterus. However, there seems to be blood seeping to the surrounding tissues which could be a sign of impending miscarriage.

Qiu ZhiYuan solemnly looked at the ultrasound images and uttered, "If you want to keep the baby, I advise you to get a good rest and don't exhaust yourself."

Su YuanHeng hesitated for a moment and then asked, "I might have to go to America, can I take a flight?"

"You're also a doctor. Shouldn't you know whether or not you could?" Qui ZhiYuan couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Don't joke with your health. You think your body can handle a long flight at this time?"

Su YuanHeng is silent.

Qiu ZhiYuan looked at his expression and suddenly asked, "Do you want to keep this baby?"

Su YuanHeng didn't respond. He picked up his jacket and politely said, "Sorry for the trouble today. Thank you."

QiuZhiYuan followed behind him and suddenly voiced, "You need to think clearly. I know that you might not want this baby but you should know that in these times, there are many gay families in the world that are very eager to have their own children and couldn't. You're lucky. A child......is also a kind of hope and happiness."

Su YuanHeng paused. He didn't look back. After a while, he lowly uttered, "Thanks. I will carefully consider it. I'll contact you again if I need to."

QiuZhiYuan quietly watched him leave and heaved a sigh.

Su YuanHeng submitted his resignation to the hospital. The Director was shocked and almost thought that he saw it wrong.

"Why are you resigning so suddenly?

Su YuanHeng softly responded, "My health has been poor lately. I want to go back to America for an extended period of rest."

"Your health is poor? What's wrong? Are you sick? Have you got it checked?" Director Wang bombarded him with a series of questions. He is an old friend of Su YuanHeng's adoptive father. When Su YuanHeng returned to China, he took the initiative to hire him. Because of these reasons, he is especially caring toward Su YuanHeng.
