Stealing Your Heart

Just as she was about to sit up, Zong Jinghao rushed over and helped her up.

Lin Xinyan adjusted to her new position with his help. “Has Su Zhan left?”

Zong Jinghao placed a pillow behind her back. “Yeah. Did you not get some rest?”

Lin Xinyan looked rather frail. “No, because I’m about to get a checkup soon anyway. I’m a little thirsty.”

Zong Jinghao poured her glass of water. She drank half of it and placed the glass on the bedside desk. “What time is it?”

Just as her words fell, there was a knock on the door. The nurse had come to inform them that it was time for the checkup.

Zong Jinghao carried her off the bed and headed to the examination room.

Checkups were usually done during the day. However, there were often many people in line, so Lin Xinyan opted to schedule her checkups at night instead.

The main reason behind her checkups was to keep track of the changes inside her uterus. This, along with the baby’s appearance, could be done easily via ultrasound.

Lin Xinyan had always wanted to take a look, but Zong Jinghao never let her.

He thought the baby looked utterly hideous in the ultrasound scans, so he feared they would make Lin Xinyan upset.

The man was confused; they were both good-looking, so why would the baby turn out this ugly?

That was why he would frown during every checkup.

Lin Xinyan didn’t understand what was going on, so she could only stare at him.

“Look. The uterus is only 0.4mm thin now. Complications tend to arise in such a scenario.”

Zong Jinghao’s expression froze. He wanted the baby to be delivered earlier so that Lin Xinyan would be in less danger, but she insisted on waiting until the eighth month when the baby was a little more mature. She was worried that the baby would grow up unhealthy otherwise.

Even eight months was already considered early by one or two months.
