Stealing Your Heart Chapter 523
The trainee doctor was about to inquire more, but Lin Xinyan acted faster and stole his line. “But what?” she asked.
Normally, this would mean that something was wrong.
She was very afraid of bad news.
Her face turned pale as she became anxious. At that point, she failed to notice that Zong Jinghao looked even more nervous than her.
The doctor quickly comforted her, “Don’t worry too much. Even though the pregnancy should be stable after three months, but your body is naturally weak. You still have to be careful. Furthermore, you are very thin. Did you have a difficult labor in your previous pregnancy?”
A doctor would never ask such questions under normal circumstances. Perhaps she knew that the trainee doctor who stood behind her was likely the baby’s father. Hence, she wanted to let him know that bearing a child was tough work and he should shower her with more affection and concern.
“Mm…” Lin Xinyan nodded without elaborating further. Nonetheless, she would never forget the excruciating pain when giving birth. No matter how much time passed, the memory was forever etched in her mind.
The doctor casually glanced behind and then turned back to Lin Xinyan. With a gentle smile, she continued, “Your uterus lining is slightly thinner than average. As the fetus continues to grow, the amount of amniotic fluid will increase too. Your body will be strained, so you have to make sure that you get enough rest and stay in a good mood.”
“I will,” Lin Xinyan replied.
She knew her body well. Previously, the doctor told her that it would be difficult to get pregnant again. When this child came to her, she was utterly shocked, and it was truly by luck that she could keep the child. Furthermore, it was growing so well inside of her.
After the checkup was completed, she retrieved her medical report and returned to the outpatient clinic. The doctor took a brief look at the report, gave her some reminders, and told her to come back two weeks later for the test results on Down’s syndrome.
It would take some time before the test results could be produced.
As Lin Xinyan stepped out of the clinic, she called Qin Ya and asked, “Where are you right now?”
The trainee doctor stood inside the clinic. He could not follow her out but only observed her from afar.
“I’m at the entrance.” Qin Ya had been waiting at the door since the trainee doctor would accompany Lin Xinyan. She did not want to be a third wheel.
However, he could not send Lin Xinyan home.
Hence, Qin Ya waited for her at the entrance instead.
As she walked out, Qin Ya opened the car door for her and probed, “How did the checkup go?”
Lin Xinyan nodded. “It went well. Everything is fine.”
“What do you feel like eating now then? Any cravings?”
“Qin Ya.” Lin Xinyan did not get in the car and stared at her friend instead. “Something seems off with you today.”
Based on Qin Ya’s personality, she would not leave her to a trainee doctor even if she detested hospitals. Something was definitely amiss.
“Why are you getting suspicious now? Didn’t I explain myself already? Do you want me to start all over again and open up those wounds once more?” Qin Ya acted as though she was very sad. Her words struck Lin Xinyan’s vulnerable spots and instantly, the latter was lost for words. In fact, she started to feel guilty because she thought that it was her who caused Qin Ya to recall those painful events in her life.
Qin Ya was pregnant too. She could have been a mother, but…
“Ya, I’m sorry.” Lin Xinyan was extremely upset at herself for bringing this up again.
“Alright, let me know what you want to eat. I will bring you there,” said Qin Ya nonchalantly.
Even though she had moved on from what happened with Su Zhan and no longer have feelings for him, she would never forget the baby she had with him.
Lin Xinyan did not have breakfast before the checkup and it was already past ten. After getting into the car, she said to Qin Ya, “Let’s have crab casseroles.”
It was Qin Ya’s favorite dish as it was rather spicy. The restaurant also offered seafood congee and fried buns. The buns were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They were simply delicious!
Qin Ya patronized the restaurant several times before and knew the menu well. There were a few other dishes she enjoyed too.
