Chapter 709 - 719 Bitter Struggles (1)
Having experienced it once before, Qiao Mo didn’t deliberately avoid Jing Hao this time, and he just kept his eyes on the screen of the instrument to avoid making her feel awkward.Before long, an image of a baby appeared on the monitor.
It was tawny, like a clay sculpture.
It was just a blurry outline, hard to distinguish the skin color, yet strangely, the curled-up limbs were visible, and you could even see the closed eyes and slightly lowered eyelids.
The entire little figure was very peaceful, with its wrinkled face bearing features.
To be honest, a bit ugly.
Yet inexplicably adorable.
"At this stage, you can generally feel fetal movements. Pay attention to feel the baby’s first movements," the head doctor softly advised from the side.
Qiao Mo nodded, her beautiful eyes were fixed on the monitor, looking very excited.
So wonderful... so miraculous.
A little life is being nurtured in her belly.
Jing Hao was equally engrossed in gazing at the monitor. It was actually his first time witnessing such a scene, and a faint excitement stirred in his heart.
Seeing the smile on Qiao Mo’s face, an ineffable sense of loss arose inside him.
If only this baby were theirs, how great it would be.
Unfortunately, there’s no ’if’ in reality.
Qiao Mo didn’t notice his thoughts, immersed in the joy of seeing the baby.
Looking at the baby’s outline, she felt increasingly that it resembled that man.
Which was peculiar, even without clear features, she just felt it bore a striking semblance to him.
Even though it hadn’t fully formed, it seemed as if they were stamped out of the same mold.
Thinking like this, she remembered Fu Nancheng.
After some thought, she turned to the doctor and said, "Can this be printed out? I’d like to take it back as a keepsake."
"Of course."
Qiao Mo smiled, hoping no matter what, he could also see what the baby looked like.
What would his reaction be upon seeing it?
Would he be happy?
He would definitely be very happy... this little guy resembles him so much.
At this moment, the room was very quiet.
No one noticed the door being pushed open slightly, and a tall, cool figure stood at the door, his gaze drifting over the woman on the bed, landing gently on the image on the monitor.
The doctor gave further instructions, and Qiao Mo noted them all down. The head doctor spoke again, "Actually, you can basically determine the baby’s gender now. Would Miss Qiao like to know now?"
Qiao Mo was momentarily stunned, not having considered this question before.
She often wondered if the baby inside was a boy or a girl.
But at the exact moment she could find out, she suddenly hesitated.
Looking up at the gentle-faced doctor, she hesitated slightly, then gently shook her head, "No, whether it’s a boy or a girl it will be a surprise for me. Since it’s a surprise, there’s no rush to find out until the moment he is born."
"That’s good too."
Qiao Mo nodded and got up from the bed.
She thought, this way, she could have more guesses and anticipation, imagining everything about the baby.
...
Half an hour later, all the prenatal check-ups were completed.
Qiao Mo went to visit Aunt Lan, but unfortunately, she was already asleep, so she didn’t disturb her and prepared to leave.
Jing Hao insisted on seeing her off, and upon reaching the hospital’s main entrance, Qiao Mo couldn’t help but say again, "No need to see me off any further, I’ll just grab a cab home, you should head back."
