"It’s okay, I don’t have anything urgent, let them go first." Ye Mingmei watched as fewer and fewer people stood in front of her, feeling extremely nervous as her turn approached.

Upon hearing the nurse’s words, she instead let out a long sigh of relief.

Waiting a bit longer was good; she needed enough time to mentally prepare.

"There’s a lounge nearby. If you’re tired, you can lie down for a while. I’ll call you when it’s time," the young nurse said politely.

"No need, I’ll just sit here and wait." Ye Mingmei forced a smile, indicating to the nurse not to worry about her, and then continued to wait.

The young nurse saw how agreeable Ye Mingmei was and silently exhaled as she turned away.

Quickly walking to the corner, "The number tags have already been delayed, but at most we can stretch it for another ten minutes. Any longer, and it might be discovered."

"I understand. Here is your reward."

The man standing in the corner placed a wad of money into the nurse’s hand and swiftly turned to leave.

When Ye Mingmei walked into the doctor’s office, she was extremely nervous.

After explaining her situation, a nurse took her for an examination.

Finally, she returned to the doctor’s office with the examination report in hand.

Her hands were clasped together, tensely placed in front of her.

"Am I...pregnant?"

Ye Mingmei swallowed, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of confusion as she looked at the elderly doctor reviewing her examination report.

It was said that this was the most experienced doctor in the hospital, maintaining a record of never making a mistake, the hospital’s living signboard.

Ye Mingmei came here after hearing these accolades.

Now, she felt like a criminal standing on the execution ground, waiting for the final verdict.

"Miss Ye, you need not be too nervous, just relax." The doctor put down the examination report, removed the glasses from his nose, and smiled at Ye Mingmei.

"It’s just a gastrointestinal issue, not pregnancy."

"..."

Ye Mingmei was taken aback, lifting her head in surprise, "Gastrointestinal issue?"

"Yes, the body’s organs are affected by emotions. Too much stress or poor sleep can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort. Your nausea and vomiting are just due to an upset stomach. As for the fatigue you mentioned, it’s related to this as well. Taking some medication to regulate should help." The doctor said, already picking up a pen and writing a prescription on paper.

"..."

Ye Mingmei’s hands slightly clenched into fists, somewhat surprised by the examination result.

After relief, there was a hint of desolation.

She couldn’t pinpoint her exact feelings.

Before coming, she had been worried about being pregnant. After confirming she wasn’t, she didn’t feel as relieved as she’d expected.

"Miss Ye, here is your prescription. Also, I need to tell you, because of the medication, you might experience a delay in your menstrual cycle. There’s no need to worry; this is a normal reaction. Once you stop the medication, things should return to normal within a month or two."

The doctor handed the prescription to Ye Mingmei.

Ye Mingmei glanced at it, holding it in her hand, biting her lip, "I’m currently taking traditional Chinese medicine to regulate my body. Will there be a conflict?"

"You can stop the Chinese medicine for now. Resume taking it once your nausea improves," the elderly doctor calmly replied, as if anticipating her question.

His hands pressed against Ye Mingmei’s examination report, a solemn expression on his face, and the cold stethoscope around his neck emphasized his professionalism.
