Suddenly We Got Married [Hong Chenle ]

Becoming a Mother

"Based on the calculation hpht fetal age is already 9 weeks. But from his size he looks like 7 Weeks."

Doctor Nakamoto stared at the black and white screen in front of him. He explained as his hand held the cursor to measure the size of the fetal sac.

"This is still considered normal for early pregnancy. But your blood pressure should be more on the lookout." Evidently. The man in Japanese blood stared at Caramel.

"120/90 is high enough, are you having trouble sleeping? Or stress?"

"Both doc." Wendy represented Caramel to answer because Caramel was silent from the beginning.

"Pregnant mothers should not stress well, even though your intake is good but if the stress will affect the fetus."  

"Yes." Yeah." Caramel nodded in understanding.

As simple as saying 'do not stress' in fact getting rid of stress itself is more difficult than pretending to be happy.

"Oh yeah, do you want to hear her heartbeat???"

Yuta looked back at his black and white screen and pressed the button there. The gurgling sound that was accompanied by loud throbbing sounded so clear.

Caramel was shocked, her feelings were mixed instantly. The girl was happy, but also wanted to cry. Her maternal instinct must have made her feelings a little melancholic by now.

"The position is normal. But if his mother is stressed the fetal heart rate can increase because she is also stressed..."

Dr. Nakamoto gave a pause, he looked back at Karamel.

"... That's why a mother can't be selfish. He should not be sad even if he is very hurt. A mother also has to give up many things for the health of her fetus."

"Yes, I understand."

The doctor, named Nakamoto Yuta, prescribed Karamel a lot of rest.

Wendy asks Karamel to wait for a while in the waiting room as long as she makes up for the medicine. And Karamel is according to his mother.

The girl sat staring at the hospital-made lake that looked glittering in the sunlight. He then looked down at the black and white photo of his fetus. 

His little angel was still shaped like a circle, the size might be the same as a soybean but somehow Caramel was so happy when she looked at him.

A question in his mind. Will Chenle also be happy when she sees their child ?

Caramel's smile faded. It had been one week since Chenle's departure to Beijing and not a single message that Caramel got from the man. What did Caramel expect? Wasn't he the one who asked Chenle to go and divorce her? Then why does Karamel still wish that man would preach to him?

Caramel let out a really heavy breath. Chenle may be working on their divorce papers right now. Or maybe his wedding file with Shuhua.

Then...

What about Chenyue?

Is she crying? Does he miss Caramel?

Karamel was sure Yue was the only person who would oppose Chenle's marriage but the boy was helpless. Even the marriage of Caramel and Chenle alone was nothing in the eyes of the Chenle extended family. Moreover, the tweet disagreed Yue.

"Karamel.. You're a gap right?"

Wendy is back with one plastic vitamin and milk pregnant women should consume from now on.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Let's go home." Said the woman.

"Hmmm.."

Wendy walked beside Caramel and kept looking at the girl. The sadness is really obvious. Wendy was really worried about him.

"I know exactly how you feel." Wendy opened her voice. He stared straight at the long hallway of the hospital that looked vacant.

Karamel turned to him, waiting for the next story that Wendy would reveal.

"Haechan's father divorced me when I was pregnant with Haechan. He accused me of cheating and not admitting to Haechan."

"In pregnancy I was left behind, in pregnancy I had to find my own food. I'm sad but do you know why I'm holding on?" Wendy stopped her steps and looked at Karamel with her typical maternal smile.

"Lee Haechan??" Caramel is just guessing.

"Yes. How can I give up on my life if there are other people who also depend on me? " Wendy grabbed both of Caramel's hands.

"Whenever the end of your relationship, your baby is not wrong, he deserves a taste of life. And he needs you to stay alive. So you have to stay alive to be able to look after and raise her."

Caramel is smiling. The girl nodded weakly and looked down at her still flat stomach.

"But I don't think Chenle will ever divorce you that long." Wendy again.

"His eyes were very sincere. He also looks very loving you."

Caramel never covered the fact that she and Chenle had the same feelings.

Regarding Shuhua's pregnancy was another story, honestly Karamel had been hurt and prejudiced but after hearing Chenle's explanation, there was nothing Karamel could do but believe him.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Chan's.." Caramel shook Haechan's sleeping body on the living room sofa. It's 8 p.m., it's too late for Haechan to sleep but Wendy said the man had just come home from the climb with the climbing club so Haechan spent the day hibernating.

That man is exactly like a dead man. Not flinching at all even though Caramel pinched her stomach.

Caramel finally gave up waking Haechan up. The girl sat on another sofa with a lethargic face. During her pregnancy, the caramel did not feel nausea, but she always felt strange when she suddenly wanted to eat something and it could not be delayed at all.

Like tonight, he really wants to eat takoyaki octopus that was sold in front of his Junior High School. Caramel won't wait until tomorrow, she really wants it now. Even thinking about it had made him salivate.

"So why??" Another person just came out of the bathroom.

Karamel turned and suddenly his spirit rose again.

"Mark !!!" Caramel approached Mark and pulled his arm.

"Anterin brother bought Takoyaki yah.."

"Now??"

Caramel nodded in spirit.

"Yes." Yeah."

Caramel knows Mark is a good boy, in contrast to the grim and dissident Haechan. Mark would not let Karamel resist his will and suffer all night.

"okay."

Mark drove Caramel downtown to the old Caramel school. Luckily Takoyaki's shop still exists and is still open, otherwise Mark might have to drive around the city longer to just look for Takoyaki on the streets of Chicago.

"So not here, let Mark buy."

Caramel nodded. Mark went across the street and Caramel was waiting for him outside the car. The girl looked around, to the place where she used to play.

The school building has changed a lot. The atmosphere of the road also looks more modern. Only a few shops on the side of the road still look the same as before.

This place is full of memories with his old friends and also....

Memories of Caramel's first love are still imprinted in his heart.

"Caramel???"

That heavy familiar-sounding voice called out the name Caramel. The girl turned around, staring at the figure of the man she could vaguely recognize.

"Lee Jeno..??"

SERIATE....
