Hearing this, I noticed that Alex Smith secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I declined their invitation to stay overnight and returned to the two simple bungalows in the village clinic.

Alex Smith helped me push my luggage into the house and looked at me with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Nina, you really didn't see that?"

I looked confused.

"What did you see?"

"Sister-in-law's belly..."

I turned around, found a towel, and started cleaning the room.

"I can't tell. How can we tell the sex of the fetus with our naked eyes? But my sister-in-law's belly is already round after only three months. I think it will be a healthy baby regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl."

Alex Smith held my busy hand and whispered. He felt that there was something wrong with May Brown 's belly. Despite the careful care of her family, she was still pale and thin, and her belly was getting bigger and bigger.

He suspected...

Before he could finish, I interrupted with a smile.

"Isn't this good? You men don't understand. Pregnant women would rather have a big belly than gain weight."

"No, listen to me, I want you to talk to mom and sister-in-law and ask them to go to the hospital for a check-up."

He actually wanted me to be the first to take action and for him to be the good guy. He is so shameless as a city wall.

When I raised questions in my previous life, he pretended not to know, but now that he sees the truth, he wants me to take the risk.

Without the filter of love, I looked at the face of the person I loved for four years, and it turned out to be so ugly.

When I graduated and wanted to support the medical work, I hoped to have better development after returning to the city two years later. He suggested that I go to his hometown.

He said they were all from the countryside and that his family would take care of him in his hometown.

But his family's "care" became the nightmare of my life, and he was the one who added fuel to the flames.

I wanted to throw the rag in his face and expose his true face...

But you have to hold it in. Now is not the time to turn hostile.

Seeing that I remained silent for a long time, perhaps feeling guilty, he spoke again to make amends.

"My eldest brother is not at home, so it's hard for me, the younger brother-in-law, to speak up. You are all women, so please be more polite. Just treat it as a prenatal checkup."

I thought about it for a moment, nodded, and promised him that I would go tomorrow.

Alex Smith wanted to stay with me, but I sent him back because I told him he should spend more time with his family. When he left, he kissed me on the neck reluctantly. I held back my nausea and watched him leave with a bloody mark on my palm.

Those unbearable past events always torture me in my dreams.

When May Brown got into trouble, Alex Smith had already left home to attend graduate school.

His parents spread rumors throughout the village that I was a quack, saying that I killed their grandson and made their daughter-in-law infertile.

To the extent that the villagers avoided me and even used the village clinic as a garbage dump.

I asked Alex Smith to explain to my family, but he just comforted me and said he would handle it.
