Chapter 490 - 166: Having a Second Child (Part 2)
Du Xixi didn’t pay attention to what Ke Xing and the hospital director were talking about. As the crimson blood was slowly drawn into the thin tube, she began to recall if there had been any unusual signs with her body these days.
Fatigue? No, she was full of energy every day from class to class, considered the most energetic person in the entire Food Department, not feeling tired even after dozens of continuous classes.
Dizziness? No, she wouldn’t feel dizzy even after spinning around dozens of times on the spot, and her eyesight was impeccable. She could see that young lady dozens of meters away clearly — hmm, her makeup’s smudged.
Back pain? No, apart from the occasional backache when she got out of bed because of Ke Lian, she felt nothing unusual at other times.
...
Du Xixi thought through her body from top to bottom, from left to right, and found that aside from today’s sudden loss of appetite, she couldn’t find any other abnormalities.
"Your Highness, it’s done." The nurse gently held a cotton ball to Du Xixi’s arm, and when Du Xixi snapped out of her thoughts, the nurse smiled, "Your Highness, please press it for a while until there’s no more bleeding."
"I’ll do it." Du Xixi nodded, but before she could press the cotton ball, Miao Miao, standing beside her, did it for her.
Miao Miao’s hand was small, smaller than Du Xixi’s, but her fingers were slender, with only a thin callus from flipping book pages and writing, leaving no other marks.
She used her right index and middle fingers to press gently, not too hard, afraid of hurting Du Xixi, who chuckled lightly and looked down to check the bleeding under the cotton ball.
"The blood test is quick, let’s sit over there for a while." After chatting with Ke Xing for a bit, the hospital director felt they had talked enough and relaxed, kindly inviting everyone to sit on the chairs.
The military hospital had a lot of patients every day, whether from the Military Department or family members of those in the Military Department, so the flow of people was huge. Thus, every floor had many reclining chairs for everyone to rest while waiting.
There were fewer people on this floor, so many chairs were empty, and there was plenty of space when the four of them sat down.
The blood test was indeed fast. Du Xixi and Miao Miao zoned out, listening to Ke Xing and the director chat when the nurse who had drawn Du Xixi’s blood came over with a stack of reports. Du Xixi noticed two doctors walking behind her.
It was the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department and Doctor Mo.
Du Xixi and the others exchanged glances, not understanding why, after the report was out, only these two doctors came over. But the director, familiar with the military hospital’s rules, couldn’t help but laugh and congratulated them without waiting for the three to know the report results, "It seems there’s excellent news today. Congratulations to Your Highness, and also congratulations to the Marshal who is not here yet."
"What?" Du Xixi, inexperienced, didn’t know what the director was congratulating her and Ke Lian for. Instead, Ke Xing understood the director’s implication, and he excitedly slapped his thigh, looking at that pile of reports with great anticipation.
Sure enough, the nurse first handed the report to the experienced director, then said to the three, "According to the report, Your Highness is in excellent health. The current issue of loss of appetite is just a normal early pregnancy symptom."
"Pregnant?" Du Xixi blinked, her hand unconsciously stroking her flat abdomen, "Am I pregnant again?"
Du Xixi’s tone was full of confusion and disbelief. Around this time last year, she was still pregnant, and she had barely delivered Yiyi and Er Er a few months ago. How could she be pregnant again so soon!
"Congratulations, Miss." Miao Miao reacted faster than Du Xixi. Although she had suspected Du Xixi might be pregnant again, speculation couldn’t match the actual confirmation, filling her with joy, "The Marshal will definitely be very happy when he finds out."
Du Xixi couldn’t help but laugh, recalling the time when she was pregnant last year, and joked a bit: "The last time I was pregnant, Ke Lian was the last to know. He always felt it was a pity not to be by my side the first time. This time, he missed it again."
"Hmph, we’ll ignore him then." Ke Xing, the proud grandfather, was overjoyed, his whole being exuding the joy of preparing to welcome another grandchild, "Since the head of the department and Doctor Mo are here, let’s do a pregnancy check first. We’ll talk about the rest at home."
