Behind your Mask is a Beautiful Smile 143 Countdown

They were limited to only selfies and text for the time being. As the wedding grew closer, Ya Nuo had been losing her appetite and easily felt fatigue. Some days she even skipped dinner, which surprised her family because she was always a foodie. At first, she skipped either lunch or dinner. After a few days, she looked like she had lost many pounds.

Her parents would bring food to her room and have her take a few bites thinking that she might have been stressed by her weight and was afraid that the wedding dress wouldn't fit her. That was almost every brides' worst fear other than their groom running off on the day of the wedding.

Oddly, Ya Nuo's complexion became gradually worse, and she would end up throwing up the meals she forced down her throat. If other girls say that they don't want to eat, their parents will probably let them be. Ya Nuo was a foodie, she would never reject food unless she really felt ill.

Mother Yang bought sour plums for her to chew on to see if it would help with her condition, but it ended up making her feel worse. Qi Yang secretly discussed with his parents while Ya Nuo was asleep in her room, "Mom, dad, could Nuo be pregnant? Isn't throwing up food, feeling fatigue and a lost of appetite usually symptoms for pregnancy? The earlier stages?"

Mother Yang clapped her hands, "That's right! That does sound like it! How could I not have thought of it when I gave birth to the two of you? Hahahaha I didn't think that we'll be grandparents so soon!"

Qi Yang rubbed his chin, "But why didn't she just tell us? We're a family anyways. It's not like father and mother would make her abort her child or something. Besides, she's marrying very soon, nobody will notice her tummy. So why?"

Mother Yang smiled happily, "Of course! Silly! The first three months are very important and mothers usually don't announce their pregnancy until after it's over. That's when the baby is considered safe in the mother's womb."

Father Yang nodded, "So that's why she lacked appetite all of a sudden. Not because of stress, but because she's carrying our grandchild! Hahahaha, I didn't think I'll be grandpa so quick! Let's not interrupt her rest and keep it a secret for now."

Actually, Ya Nuo's menstrual cycle had just ended right before she moved back to the Yang residence. Therefore, she couldn't have been pregnant. This fact was unknown to Yang family, and so, they all thought it was a fortunate event that's taking place. Neither of them could have foreseen the catastrophic consequences that will follow during midnight.

At 2A.M.

Ya Nuo twist and turned, frowning in her sleep. Her breath was coming short, as if she had been running. Each breath of hers sounded like it took an immense strength to inhale fresh air. Her chest heaved heavily like a burdened weight is pressing down on her; suffocating her. Droplets of sweat formed on her delicate face. Her rose colored lips lacked moisture and gradually lost its color. The strength in her body was close to being nonexistent as if the sweat had brought her energy away. She struggled internally to wake herself up and forced her eyes open.

Her sight was blurred, everything was painful. Her legs were burning like acids melting her flesh and piranhas ripping apart her muscle tissues. She couldn't feel her limbs at all. Salted tears ran down her face as if it were escaping the deadly heat inside of her. She took deep breaths and tried to calm down as she reached for her phone.

Her attempt counted as a success as she did grab a hold of her phone, but at the same time, her body rolled off the bed. She couldn't move. She gathered her last strengths, scanned her fingerprint, turned her phone to the max volume and on the speaker, she played Beethoven's 5th symphony. The loud dramatic music woke the entire family up as they ran to the source of the music.

When she heard the heavy footsteps approaching her bedroom door, she relaxed and faded in consciousness. Her world turned dark. Her family knocked twice loudly asking her if everything was alright, but didn't receive a response. They barged into her room to find her lifeless looking figure lying unconscious on the floor with her pajamas soaked in cold sweat, hugging her body.

Qi Yang quickly called for an ambulance, while Mother Yang called her name, trying to wake her up. She felt her daughter's cold forehead, hands, and feet; coldness. That was the only word she could use to describe her temperature. Father Yang tried to move her, but was stopped by Qi Yang because they didn't know what was wrong with her. Mother Yang grabbed Ya Nuo's blanket and covered her daughter while rubbing her hand rapidly; hoping to warm her body up.

When the ambulance arrived, her vital signs were running incredibly low. They could barely catch her light breaths. It was unbearable to watch as her fragile body was lifted onto the stretchers and brought into the ambulance. Qi Yang contacted Huan Hei immediately and everyone rushed to the hospital.

Doctors and nurses ran in and out of the emergency room, hoping to figure out the sudden illness. They did a full body scan and every test possible, but everything came back positive. Her reports came out all healthy and not at all ill. The insulin levels and other crucial medical reports indicate great digits. Nothing was wrong with her body. They had no idea what was going on and for once, they didn't know how to explain it to the family members who were eagerly waiting outside.

When the doctors all came out with their heads slightly lowered, The Yang's and Xu's couldn't even swallow the gulp in their throat. The doctors explained that everything came out fine and even showed them all the proof, yet nobody figured out what was wrong with her. The only thing they could do is provide the basic care for her, hoping it would help improve her condition.

Words spread quicker than a waterfall. Soon, everyone in the hospital spoke about the weird sudden illness that hit the girl in the middle of nowhere. A man with a vibrant multicolored unicorn and rainbow patterned pajamas and huge hippo slippers appeared. His handsome face and curious smile took everyone's breath away. "What patient?" He listened attentively to the details and reports provided by the nurses and determined that he must see her.

Right after the doctors said their condolences and everyone else shook their heads in dismay, hurried steps came from behind, "Get out of the way. Let me see her."

Behind him, followed the Huang family, who rushed to the hospital accompanying Nana after receiving his urgent call saying Ya Nuo had been admitted to his hospital in critical condition. The flamboyant character was none other than Doctor Chen Mu.
