Chapter 13 The Artificial Uterus Went In
Three hours later, an Artificial Uterus and a Gestational Sac were finally installed in Chen Nan's belly.
After the surgical team spread a special ointment on his belly, the surgical marks were hidden too.
When Chen Nan woke, his belly would hurt badly, but he would not find out he had been cut open.
I paid the surgical team, satisfied.
Two hundred thousand in total.
The fee was not low, but luckily I was not the one paying.
It was the person who needed to borrow his Artificial Uterus to birth her own child.
After the surgical team left, I took a photo of Chen Nan asleep and sent it with the surgery video I had just recorded to a certain friend on WeChat.
"The Artificial Uterus is installed. The Gestational Sac is in his Artificial Uterus too. In a while, the fetus will form, and you will have your own biological son."
The other side sent me a praising emoji and transferred me a hundred thousand.
I took the money and happily went downstairs to a five-star hotel, booked a room, and slept.
The next day at noon, Chen Nan called me. Only then did I unhurriedly buy some groceries at the market and carry them home.
I had just walked in when I saw him rolling all over the living room floor from the belly pain.
Mother-in-Law was beside him, wiping his sweat, looking pained for him.
Father-in-Law did not forget to yell for me to come look at him. "Shi Shi, hurry over and look at Chen Nan. He said his belly hurt badly when he got up this morning, but we checked and his stomach is not injured. It cannot be food poisoning, can it?"
When Mother-in-Law heard that, she stood up at once, walked over, and slapped me across the face.
"Speak! Are you unhappy we made you do Seed Borrowing to have a child, so you put poison in the food on purpose, trying to kill Chen Nan!"
After I registered it, I slapped her back.
She stared at me in disbelief, so angry her tongue would not straighten. "You, you... you dare hit me?!"
I raised a brow. "Mm. I hit you, you shameless old thing! It was your Chen family that wronged me to begin with. So what if I really did poison you?"
"You really poisoned us? Wife, you are too vicious!" Chen Nan clutched his belly, dripping sweat, and glared at me.
I set down the groceries, squatted beside him, and said, "Husband, why do you not believe me either? If the food was really poisoned, why are your parents fine?"
"If you ask me, your body has just been too weak lately. You wore out your kidneys."
I said it on purpose.
He had been working hard on Qiao Xin every day lately. He had to be drained already.
Sure enough, he shut his mouth at once, looking guilty.
"Well? If you really cannot take the pain, I will take you to the hospital." I offered again.
He refused me, just as I had expected.
"N-no need. I must have overworked overtime. My body is just weak."
But Mother-in-Law would not let it go.
"If you did not poison anyone, then why did you hit me?" She grabbed my hand and demanded, her voice harsh.
I shook off her hand and wiped my tears, looking wronged. "Mother-in-Law, I know you do not want Father-in-Law to do Seed Borrowing, so you target me at every turn, and you even used Chen Nan's belly pain as an excuse to hit me. I am wronged too. Am I not even allowed to vent a little?"
"After all, there is a good chance I already have your Chen family's seed in my belly. Can you pick on me a little less?"
She froze on the spot, muttering, "How could it be that fast..."
"Why not? Father-in-Law's body is that good. You know that." I said that on purpose.
I did it to drive a wedge between the three of them.
Sure enough, Mother-in-Law's face went iron-blue with anger.
Chen Nan was no better. The way he looked at me, it was like he wanted to kill me.
Father-in-Law was different.
He stared at my belly with a smile on his face.
It made my whole body uncomfortable. I even felt a little nauseous.
