Chapter 1532 Confirming the Pregnancy
If fate did not favor them and they were destined not to have children of their own in this life, then they would treat Xia Fan and Xia Xing like their own children.
Xia Zhe rushed to the emergency department to borrow a wheelchair. There were not many people seeing the doctor today, so they were able to see Xia Fang very quickly.
“Aunt! Quick, do a checkup for her!” Xia Zhe said anxiously. Large beads of sweat rolled down his face and he looked as if he had just been fished out of the water. His entire body was drenched with perspiration.
Xia Fang looked at the two of them suspiciously. Between the two of them, she would think that Xia Zhe looked more like a sick person than Qiao Mei. They were in stark contrast with each other. Xia Zhe was so anxious that he looked about to cry. On the other hand, Qiao Mei smiled very happily and looked fine.
“Qiao Mei, where exactly do you feel unwell? Do you feel any specific discomfort? If you really can’t describe it, then let’s do a full-body examination,” Xia Fang said, looking serious and strict.
“Aunt, I think I might be… pregnant…” Qiao Mei scratched her head and said shyly.
“What!” Xia Fang and Xia Zhe said at the same time as they looked at Qiao Mei in shock.
This was also the first time Xia Fang had encountered someone who got pregnant so easily. Qiao Mei had only just given birth to twins half a year ago and now she was pregnant again. Xia Fang wondered if Qiao Mei’s body could handle the stress again.
She quickly arranged a comprehensive gynecological examination for Qiao Mei. This was the first time Xia Zhe accompanied Qiao Mei to the hospital for a pregnancy checkup. It was also the first time he heard the news of Qiao Mei’s pregnancy in person. It was a completely different feeling from reading about it in a letter.
“Why are you so stunned?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.
“I… I… I don’t know… you… that…” Xia Zhe said incoherently.
He was feeling at a loss and a little flustered, as if he did not already have Xia Fan and Xia Xing.
“Are you nervous? You’re already the father of two children. Why are you still acting like this?” Qiao Mei said.
“That’s different!” Xia Zhe retorted. After thinking for a moment, he said, “No, I mean I feel the same way about the children. It’s just that it feels completely different to hear about it this time round.”
At that time, his relationship with Qiao Mei was still not close because of their embarrassing past. In any case, he did not really look forward to the birth of the two children then and what he felt was more of a sense of responsibility. It was not until his relationship with Qiao Mei gradually warmed up that he began to like the idea of having the two children. This was probably what was meant by one’s love for someone would extend to everything related with the person. It was definitely applicable in the case of his own kids.
Xia Fang returned with a pile of medical reports. Qiao Mei had previously donated 20,000 dollars to their hospital. With the money, they were able to buy better and more advanced equipment, which in turn allowed them to save more people.
Qiao Mei was now already a VIP in this hospital. If Qiao Mei came to see the doctor, she would be given priority at all times.
“The reports are out. The child is very healthy and Qiao Mei is also doing very well. Everything is normal. As for everything that Qiao Mei mentioned, they are all just normal symptoms of pregnancy,” Xia Fang said.
Xia Zhe nodded stiffly and noted down everything Xia Fang said. He wrote down every word carefully, down to the punctuation marks.
“Xia Zhe, didn’t I give you a booklet back then? It’s good enough to have that,” Xia Fang said as she looked at Xia Zhe in disdain.
Xia Zhe was clearly the smartest child in the Xia family, so why did he always become like a fool when it came to Qiao Mei? Where did all the cleverness go? At moments like this, she did not want to tell anyone that this was her nephew.
“Oh right. Qiao Mei, I heard that you have decided to be a military spouse?” Xia Fang asked.
“That’s indeed the plan, but now…” Qiao Mei looked at her stomach helplessly and said, “I guess I can’t go now.”
She had only been pregnant for less than half a month but she could already feel the child’s existence. Most women would normally only realize it after a month, and some women even only realized that they were pregnant after more than two months!
She would think of a way to become a military spouse after the first three months of pregnancy. It was indeed not a good time now.
“It’s fine. You can become a military spouse anytime. When you want to go, just let my eldest brother know. I’ll call him later and tell him the good news!” Xia Fang said with a smile.
