CHAPTER 698: CHAPTER 700: THE YOUNG MADAM IS PREGNANT

Upon hearing Chu Lian’s shout, Chu Family’s Patriarch, Madam Chu, and Chu Huan, who were poised at the door ready to eavesdrop, immediately entered the room.

Together, the family had tricked Miss Wang to come to the Chu Family home, surely Miss Wang wouldn’t let the matter rest after finding out. The three of them were truly anxious, so they hurried over to listen to the situation but didn’t expect to hear Chu Lian’s loud shout as soon as they approached.

The moment the three entered the room and saw Chu Lian on the ground holding what seemed to be an unconscious Miss Wang, they felt that things didn’t bode well.

"Son, what happened?" Madam Chu asked anxiously.

Chu Lian couldn’t stay calm at this time, he didn’t know what to do, and said anxiously, "Mother, she’s fainted."

At this time, it was the old master who was comparatively calm. He comforted, "Son, don’t worry, father will arrange for someone to find a doctor immediately."

The old master went to the door and ordered the servants to quickly go fetch a doctor.

"Son, quickly carry her to the bed."

"Okay." Chu Lian picked up Wang Xiangxiang and placed her into the big red wedding quilt prepared on the bed.

He sat there, continuously holding her hand without letting go, just quietly watching her.

His eyes were full of self-blame and distress. Since she was bullied by thugs last time, her health had declined. Could it be that what he had done today was truly a mistake?

He felt some regret; he really shouldn’t have upset her further. What could be more important than her being alive?

"Brother, don’t worry, sister-in-law will definitely be alright." Chu Huan was seeing her brother like this for the first time and offered her words of comfort.

"Yes, son, the daughter-in-law will have a good omen, she definitely will be fine," Madam Chu also voiced her reassurance.

But, at that moment, Chu Lian couldn’t take in anyone’s words; he just stared motionlessly at Wang Xiangxiang.

The family, seeing Chu Lian’s state, also stayed silent and kept him company in the room.

Soon, the doctor was brought in by the servant, "Boss, the doctor has arrived."

Upon hearing the doctor’s arrival, Chu Lian quickly got up and rushed to the doctor’s side, "Doctor, please check what’s wrong with my wife?"

"Young Master Chu, do not panic. Let the old doctor take a look first," the doctor said.

The old doctor followed Chu Lian to the side of the bed.

Chu Lian presented Wang Xiangxiang’s left hand for the doctor to take her pulse. When he saw the clear scars on her wrist, a pang of pain hit his heart once more. He thought to himself, if she woke up and still insisted on marrying into the Han Family, then he would let her go.

The old doctor sat by the bed and took Wang Xiangxiang’s pulse seriously.

The pulse-taking lasted slightly longer than usual, which made everyone in the room extremely tense; Chu Lian was afraid she might deteriorate while the other three feared that Chu Lian might break down because of her condition.

Finally, the old doctor finished taking the pulse, with an expression that was somewhat inscrutable.

"Doctor, how is my wife?" As soon as the doctor finished taking the pulse, Chu Lian asked anxiously.

"This..." The old doctor hesitated whether to speak or not; after all, the entire city knew that the Eldest Young Master Chu was getting married that day.

Seeing the doctor stammer, Chu Lian’s heart twisted in pain. Could it be that her illness was very serious? What had she gone through in the month he was away?

"Doctor, what’s really wrong with my wife? You can rest assured I can handle it."

Seeing the expression of Young Master Chu, the old doctor finally spoke, "Well, the Young Madam is not in grave danger. The reason she fainted, I believe, was due to excessive emotional agitation."

"..." As he had thought, it was because of him, Chu Lian felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

"Moreover... the Young Madam is with child and needs some fetus-preserving medicine."
