Chapter 1138 - Which of Them Is ‘Sister-In-Law’?
1138 Which of Them Is ‘Sister-In-Law’?
In this life, she had nutritious food and her constitution was good. Her menses were never late. Besides, she did not eat cold stuff and she did not suffer from menstrual pains.
Other than being pregnant, Qiao Nan could not think of any reasons to explain the fact that she did not have her menses for two months.
“Wait for me.” Zhai Hua trembled slightly. “I-I will make a registration for you. But no one will accompany you if I am gone.”
“I am an adult. I don’t need company.” Qiao Nan did not know whether to laugh or be angry with her. “I promise I will not move about when you make the registration.”
“Make sure that other people don’t crowd around you. This is the hospital. The children are insensible and they would run around. They might knock into people accidentally. You must stay clear of them.” Zhai Hua, who was careless, turned to be very meticulous after she learned that she might be an auntie soon.
Qiao Nan relaxed. “Sure, I will protect myself.” It was no wonder that she had been feeling odd recently. She thought that she had caught a cold because of the change in weather.
She had indeed missed her menses for two months. Qiao Nan placed her hands lightly on her tummy. She had a tender look in her eyes.
The child came right after her marriage. She was finally going to be a mother.
Qiao Nan turned teary from thinking of Zhai Sheng’s promise that they would only have one child. She would definitely give all her love to her child.
Tian Dong came back after registration. “Qiao Nan, where is Zhai Hua?”
“She went to register for another appointment.”
“Do you know what is wrong with you?” Tian Dong had made an appointment for the respiratory department. He passed the appointment number to Qiao Nan. At times, it was difficult to ascertain the illness that one was suffering from. It was alright to make a few appointments.
Qiao Nan smiled. “Sort of.”
“Qiao Nan, I have registered for an appointment. There are a lot of people waiting in line.” Zhai Hua wiped her perspiration. She was feeling very anxious. She was worried that the doctor would knock off after attending to all the patients who were waiting in front of them.
Zhai Hua was perplexed. Could it be that there were so many pregnant ladies and it would take so long to see a doctor?
In fact, Zhai Hua did not know that it was considered lucky to have more than ten people waiting in line. At times, one came in the morning and could only see the doctor in the afternoon.
“Which department did you register for?” Tian Dong knitted his brows. “Is it convenient to tell me?”
“So what if I let you know? Will you be able to help us jump the queue?” Qiao Nan was unwell. She was worried that something might be wrong with her unborn nephew or niece.
Tian Dong smiled. Zhai Hua was still as impatient as before. “If you don’t mind, I know of a doctor in the private hospital. If it is okay with you, you can go there to have a checkup. It should take a shorter time.” The private hospital was different from a public hospital.
“Are you serious? Can we see the doctor right away? If not, let’s take it that I did not say anything.” Zhai Hua was elated, but then she calmed down the next instant.
She knew that doctors at a private hospital had equally good skills.
Although patients could not be reimbursed for going to the private hospital and the medical fees were higher, there were still many people who were willing to go to a private hospital as long as the doctors were skilled.
“You can see a doctor right away. I will contact my friend now. But you have yet to tell me which department Qiao Nan should go to.” Tian Dong smiled. If they could not see a doctor right away, he would not make this suggestion and embarrass himself in front of Zhai Hua.
Zhai Hua looked at Tian Dong in surprise. “Didn’t you just come back from overseas? Why is it that you have the means? Nevertheless, contact the doctor. Qiao Nan needs to see the gynecology doctor.”
It was Tian Dong’s turn to be surprised.
Qiao Nan had just turned twenty-one years old after the Lunar New Year. Tian Dong knew that this was the legal age to marry in China.
He did not expect that as a Peking University student, Qiao Nan had such a strong determination. While her peers were still students, she had the courage to be a mother. This was a matter of courage and responsibility. “Okay, I will make the arrangement.”
Tian Dong made the phone call and registered for an appointment.
Tian Dong knew that Qiao Nan married Zhai Sheng not long ago. They had also collected the marriage certificate more than a month ago. Qiao Nan’s child was considered a legitimate child. Tian Dong made it clear to his friend that he had a friend who wanted to go for pregnancy tests and to make an appointment for them. They must not be kept waiting.
The friend could not help but laugh at Tian Dong upon learning the tests that his friend wanted to be done. “Didn’t you just come back from overseas not long ago? And a lady is already pregnant with your child in such a short time? It seems that you are serious. Have you set your mind to be a dad?” If he did not want the child, he would not ask to go through the tests. After ascertaining that the lady was truly pregnant, they could arrange for the abortion surgery directly.
“Stop kidding.” Tian Dong warned his friend. “The patient is the sister-in-law of my friend. You must make sure you do a good job later. Don’t be careless.”
The other party stopped making fun of Tian Dong. “Your friend? Is your friend by the surname of Zhai?” The friend went for overseas study in America as well. His major was medicine. He was older than Tian Dong and was already in his thirties.
As Tian Dong had a high IQ and learned fast, he was able to be in the same batch as him and had the chance to be acquainted with him. “Bring the patient here. We will talk later.”
He had known Tian Dong for many years. While he was enjoying life in America, having flings with foreign women among all the Chinese overseas students, Tian Dong was the only person who seemed to be immune to temptations. He was able to behave gentlemanly and focused on his studies.
He would never be able to do that.
The foreigners were not averse to one-night stands. Both were willing parties and no one was forced into it.
Foreign ladies had great figures and were open-minded and passionate. It was too good to be missed.
Back when they had beers at the pubs, many beauties were interested to have a one-night stand with Tian Dong, but Tian Dong would always leave by himself. Those ladies who were rejected by Tian Dong ended up being with his friends who went to the pubs with him.
It was only after a long while that he realized that Tian Dong was conservative and he already had someone in mind.
Why Tian Dong was not involved in one-night stands and had strict discipline was all because of the Chinese woman that he had in mind.
As they grew closer to Tian Dong, those friends who got along with him pried the information from him and knew that the lady that he had in mind had the surname of Zhai.
It was rare that Tian Dong was willing to bring the lady to the hospital today. His friend who was a doctor knew that he finally had the chance to meet the legendary woman that Tian Dong was interested in.
Tian Dong was very popular and attractive at school. The lady must be a great beauty with a good figure and gentle temperament to be able to capture Tian Dong’s heart and for him to behave himself overseas.
The doctor imagined Zhai Hua to be a perfect lady. He fixed his gaze on Qiao Nan as soon as Tian Dong brought his friends with him to the hospital.
