Xie Yuansheng had changed into his shirt and pants and helped Feng Xinying also to change into her dress. The doctor arrived an hour later. Xie Yuansheng ushered him in the room where she was lying down. The doctor examined her and asked her the symptoms. "How do you feel?"
She told him everything about her operation, lethargy to vomiting a while ago. Then she asked, "Has my wound got infected? Will you amputate my hand? I can't let that happen? I am just too young for this kind of a thing." Saying that Feng Xinying started crying.

Xie Yuansheng looked at his wife's nervous expression and became all the more nervous. He was standing right beside her.
The doctor checked her pulse and then said, "When was the last time you had periods?"
