Chapter 1125: Was There a Tumor in Her Stomach?

He Xiyan finally replied at around 11 PM, “You should get some rest. Don’t waste your time thinking about such meaningless matters.”

Mo Yixuan blinked rapidly after he read her message and soon, his eyes filled with tears.

Men do not cry easily but he did not even remember how many times he had shed tears in the middle of the night.

He Xiyan went to see a gynecologist at a hospital in Ye City the next day after she dropped Xi Xi and Yuan Yuan off at school.

She seemed to be in poor health. Previously, she had been infertile and over the past two years, her menstrual cycle had been irregular.

The heavens seemed to have something against her.

She entered an ultrasound room and lay on the cold, hard bed.

When the cold ultrasound probe was placed against her skin, she clenched her jaw and a layer of cold sweat formed on her palm.

She had been through many ultrasound scanning sessions, including ultrasound scans of her stomach area but she still felt very uncomfortable each time she did an ultrasound. After all, her body would be exposed to a stranger during this period.

This session seemed to last longer than usual. She felt as though several minutes had ticked by but the doctor did not conclude the session. Instead, he even called a second doctor over to look at the screen after a while.

He Xiyan was surprised.

“Doctor, is there anything wrong with me?” she asked with a frown when she noticed the grave look on the doctor’s face.

The doctor turned to glance at her before he retracted the probe.

“We’ll print out the data shortly. Please show this to your doctor and seek her advice on this matter,” the doctor said.

He Xiyan didn’t know how to react.

Her eyes suddenly widened because she could guess that the results of her ultrasound were not ideal based on the doctor’s words.

She collected her ultrasound results 30 seconds later and glanced at the data that had been printed.

“The outline of her posterior uterus is clear with even borders. Patient’s uterus is normal at 7.1 cm x 5.3 cm x 4.4 cm. Irregular pattern of echoes detected between patient’s muscle walls and low-level echoes detected from a mass that was 5.5 cm x 6.7 cm at the frontal muscle wall. The outline of this mass can be seen. CDFI shows that there are signs of bleeding. The endometrium can clearly be seen and it is 0.3 cm thick with regular echo patterns. The patient’s right ovary is 2.8 cm x 1.2 cm and her left ovary is 3.5 cm x 2.1 cm. No abnormal echo patterns detected in the adnexa area. No liquid or dark spots detected within the pelvic cavity. Diagnosis: tumor detected on the front wall of the patient’s uterus.”

He Xiyan froze in shock and blinked hard in disbelief as she read the contents of the ultrasound three times.

She stood in front of the ultrasound room and felt as though she couldn’t take another step forward.

A tumor?

Her breath caught in her throat the moment she noticed this word on the report.

She would never forget that her mother’s life had been taken by a malignant tumor which turned out to be breast cancer.

Now, was she…

She didn’t know how she managed to return to the consultation room. She handed the report over to the doctor uneasily. She felt both upset and nervous as though she was about to receive a sentence at court.

The doctor she was speaking to was a doctor in her fifties. She was the doctor in charge of the gynecology department and the best doctor in this department.

“Ms. He, there’s no need to worry. Based on the ultrasound results, there seems to be a tumor in your uterus. It seems to be a benign tumor but naturally, we’ll need to perform a biopsy before we can be absolutely sure,” the doctor said.

He Xiyan grabbed the doctor’s hand. She didn’t know much about this illness but the word ‘tumor’ terrified her.

“Doctor, is this a serious illness?” He Xiyan asked. Her heart raced because she was so nervous.

The doctor patted her shoulder and gestured for her to relax.
