Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief - Chapter 1143

1143 More than One

Ever since Qiao Nan was pregnant, Tian Dong could tell from the past three months that the Zhai family highly valued Qiao Nan.

Even if it had nothing to do with the hospital, if Qiao Nan and the baby were found to be unhealthy, Tian Dong might be held responsible for it. He had to get Doctor Wei here to come up with a solution for him.

If anything happened to Qiao Nan and the baby, god knows when he would be able to marry Zhai Hua and to have a child with her.

“The frequency for the heartbeat seems to be slightly higher.” The female doctor observed.

“What does that mean? Is there anything wrong with my baby?” Qiao Nan was scared stiff.

“Qiao Nan, don’t worry. Everything will be alright. If there is anything wrong, we will find a good hospital to treat the baby.” Zhai Hua hugged Qiao Nan, comforting her.

Zhai Hua was thinking of having a child. This child came at the right time.

Zhai Hua had been cutting down on her visits to the camp. She was willing to change her vocation and stay at home to take care of Qiao Nan. In fact, the child was not only her brother’s child.

It might be possible that she would not meet her destined love in this life.

In that case, she would treat the child as her own.

Therefore, Zhai Hua was just as worried when she knew that the child might be unhealthy.

The female doctor smiled. She knew that her words must have given them a fright. “Don’t be worried. This may not mean that the baby is unhealthy. There is another possibility. There is more than one heartbeat in your tummy.”

“More than one heartbeat?” Tian Dong thought about it. “Do you mean that she is carrying twins?”

“There is definitely more than one child.” The female doctor smiled. “Congratulations. You have such good fortune. According to the national family planning policy, the household register in the city can only have one child. You have more than one child. You are very fortunate.”

“M-more than one?” Zhai Hua had a silly and blank look on her face. She was overjoyed at the news. Even though she was not the mother, she was as elated as the mother. “This is too wonderful! Our family is blessed with such good fortune. Qiao Nan, did you hear that? I will have two nephews or nieces!” This was similar to striking the lottery.

Zhai Hua, who was ecstatic, forgot about keeping a polite distance from Tian Dong and that he was a man. Instead, she pulled his shirt while she dug out his phone from his pocket in his pants pocket. “Lend me your cell phone. I must tell my mom the good news.”

Ever since the Zhai family knew that Qiao Nan was pregnant, everyone began to read up on books related to child-rearing and pregnancy.

Even though Miao Jing gave birth to two children, she did not read up on these materials back then.

The times were different and habits might be different as well.

The child would be the fourth generation of the Zhai family and it would be Zhai Sheng’s only child. No matter whether it was a boy or girl, the Zhai family would make sure that nothing went wrong.

After they found out that electronic products would emit radiation, the Zhai family would keep their cell phones aside if they were near Qiao Nan.

Since Zhai Hua did not bring her cell phone, she had to borrow it from Tian Dong.

Zhai Hua did not feel that there was anything wrong with her action, but Tian Dong’s fair face turned red, feeling a mixture of emotions.

The lady that he liked had her hands on him, particularly her hand which was touching him around his pants pocket. Tian Dong had steered off women for nearly thirty years, but he was a healthy man. It was impossible for him not to have any reaction.

And he reacted strongly to it.

That was why Tian Dong felt very awkward.

The room was filled with women. If he had any unsightly behavior, it would be very embarrassing.

Thankfully, although Zhai Hua seldom went to the army, she was still deft and nimble. She managed to get the cell phone from Tian Dong’s pocket in less than three seconds.

Tian Dong breathed a sigh of relief when Zhai Hua’s hands were no longer on him. But he seemed to miss the moment.

“Hello, Mom, it’s me. Yes, Qiao Nan and I are at the hospital. Mom, let me tell you a piece of good news. In the future, you must prepare two sets of belongings for your grandchildren. In another five months, we will have two babies in our family!”

Zhai Hua had just finished her sentence when Miao Jing screamed, disregarding her status. “Two? Two!!!”

“Yes, two babies!” Zhai Hua was all smiles. She understood the excitement and joy that her mother must be feeling right now.

“Mom, don’t worry. After the prenatal checkup, I will bring Qiao Nan home. Qiao Nan will have to eat more to make sure that the three of them have good and nutritious food.” They must not starve Qiao Nan’s babies.

Zhai Hua threw the cell phone back to Tian Dong after she finished the phone call. Luckily, Tian Dong had sharp eyes and he caught the cell phone. Otherwise, it would have smashed to pieces.

Zhai Hua walked smilingly toward Qiao Nan. She seemed like the Grandma Wolf in ‘Little Red Riding Hood’.

She took the towel from the nurse and wiped the excess cream off Qiao Nan’s tummy.

Zhai Hua did not dare to exert any strength while she cleaned Qiao Nan’s tummy. It was as if her tummy was even more fragile and brittle than the most expensive porcelain in the world. It was the most precious treasure that she had. “Nan Nan, are you hungry? Do you want to have something to eat before we go back home? I think we’d better not do that. The food outside may not be safe. Please bear with it. Let’s go home to eat, shall we?”

From today onward, she had to ask the auntie to prepare more snacks for Qiao Nan.

Qiao Nan preferred to stay at the school during the weekdays and she insisted on doing social practice during the weekend. If she was hungry, she had to have food outside.

If the auntie prepared more snacks for her, Qiao Nan could bring them with her and had it whenever she was hungry.

“No, I am not hungry.” Compared to Zhai Hua and Miao Jing who were ecstatic, Qiao Nan felt a mixture of emotions.

Finally, she was going to be a mother. Qiao Nan felt that she was blessed and fortunate.

However, she and Zhai Sheng had come to an agreement that regardless of whether she had a boy or a girl, they would only have one child.

She did not know whether to laugh or cry now that she was having twins.

She had been through two lifetimes where her parents were biased toward her sister. Qiao Nan was worried that she would inherit her parents’ flaws and that she would walk in their footsteps. She feared that she would be biased toward one child and hurt the other child.

“Since you are not hungry, let’s take a seat. I have some questions to ask the doctor.”
