Chapter 720: Chapter 476: The Surprise Almost Turned Into A Scare (Second Update)_1

When Jing Chen returned to the room, Mu Lin was already conscious. Hearing the door open, she instinctively looked up at him. The soft curve of her lips startled a softened Jing Chen.

"Linlin, you’re awake." Jing Chen paused briefly, then strode toward Mu Lin.

Mu Lin looked at him, smiling faintly, "I just woke up not long ago. I feel a little sluggish and don’t want to get up." Inexplicably, she felt a bit defiant.

They say when a woman is pregnant, her body is overcome with laziness, and she wants to sleep all the time. Apparently, these are all normal.

Looking at Mu Lin, with an intense gaze Jing Chen made her feel a bit uneasy. She instinctively asked, "What’s wrong?" Was there something on her face? She didn’t recall washing it after waking up.

Thinking that, she reached up to touch her face only for Jing Chen to catch her hand midway and hold it, leaving Mu Lin baffled.

"Linlin, are you still not feeling well because of the change in environment?" Jing Chen sat by her bed holding her hand, his other hand gently touching her face.

"I’m fine now." In fact, there was never any adjustment to the new environment, where was anything to feel better from?

"Really?" Jing Chen seemed doubtful, "I heard Grandpa say that you slept as soon as you returned yesterday. You’ve slept a lot since then; should I take you to the hospital tomorrow?" It seemed as if he was taking her opinion into consideration.

However, Mu Lin simply shook her head lightly, "No need."

Upon hearing that, Jing Chen said with deep concern, "Linlin, I know your medical skills are excellent, but it won’t hurt to have another doctor look at you. I could ask Dr. Mei to check you tomorrow." After all, they all practice Chinese Medicine.

Actually, Jing Chen never thought about taking Mu Lin to see a western doctor.

"No need." However, Mu Lin still shook her head and looked at Jing Chen with a smile. She cupped his handsome face with her hands, "My dear, are you worried about me?"

Jing Chen instinctively held Mu Lin’s small hands tightly, "Yes, I am worried." How could he not worry seeing her like this, "So, for my sake, can you comply with me just this once?" His ice-cold eyes seemed to plead.

Mu Lin looked at him and laughed, deciding not to hide anything any longer, "Actually, I’ve already seen the doctor." She had initially intended to see Dr. Mei anyway.

"What?" His mind couldn’t catch up with the sudden twist of the conversation, what had she already seen?

"What I mean is, I have already seen Dr. Mei; not only that, Dr. Zhou didn’t trust him and dragged me to the Military Hospital for a full body check-up." Mu Lin explained seriously, but this only made Jing Chen more worried.

"You mean...Linlin, did something really happen to your health?" Jing Chen held Mu Lin’s small hands more tightly. The grip was so tight that it was slightly painful for Mu Lin, but she did not resist.

"I did run into a small problem." Mu Lin nodded, admitting, "Today Dr. Zhou took me to get an X-ray, and there’s a little shadow in my body." Mu Lin spoke with a complicated expression, shifting between difficulty, innocence, and frustration. However, in Jing Chen’s eyes, this transformed into worry, unrest, and heartbreak.

It was a complete misunderstanding.

Upon hearing about the ’little shadow’ in Mu Lin’s body, Jing Chen was in turmoil.

Something had gone wrong with Linlin’s body!

Time seemed to stand still, after what felt like forever, his hoarse and dry voice echoed again, "What is it?" What was that shadow?

The anxiety and fear in his voice came rushing toward Mu Lin, making her feel a bit guilty.

Did she really scare him? Should she have broken the news to him in a different way? Mu Lin began to doubt herself.

Sighing slightly, Mu Lin picked up the ultrasound image from under the pillow and handed it to him.

Jing Chen took it quickly and scrutinized it like he’d never examined anything before.

Name: Mu Lin

Gender: Female

Age: 21

Preliminary diagnosis: Pregnant for five weeks and two days

Fetus: ...

Looking at the ultrasound image in his hand, Jin Chen’s expression transformed from fear, to dumbstruck, then to stunned, and finally, from stunned to overwhelming joy.

He looked up at Mu Lin, smiling widely, although Mu Lin could see the caution in his smile, "Linlin, is this... real?" Jing Chen couldn’t believe it.

One moment he was thinking the worst; the next, it turned into the most joyous news, especially when it concerned Mu Lin. Even Jing Chen couldn’t adjust to this sudden turnaround.

He wanted to believe it but couldn’t.

Although it was only a simple question, Jing Chen found himself biting his tongue several times, even drawing blood.

"I have confirmed it many times." Mu Lin laughed, her glowing smile was so bright it made one dazzle, she continued, "Albeit, I was forced." But, she was willing.
