Xia Fang used the equipment and examined Qiao Mei’s stomach. Both fetuses were very healthy and Qiao Mei’s body did not seem to have been affected much. Everything was normal.
“Aunt, tell me quickly. Is there anything wrong with the children?” Qiao Mei grabbed the corner of her shirt tightly and did not dare to move, afraid that it would affect Xia Fang’s diagnosis.
Xia Fang still did not speak and only frowned as she stared at the electronic equipment and sighed. Qiao Mei did not know what had happened, whether it was something wrong with the children or something wrong with her.
“Liu Wen, come and take a look at this,” Xia Fang said as she pointed at some data on the screen.
At first, Liu Wen thought that there was really a problem. She was the one in charge of Qiao Mei’s basic checkup and she had already done a thorough check on her.
“Professor Xia, this…” Liu Wen looked at Xia Fang in confusion.
“Remember to take note of the data here and record it properly,” Xia Fang said as she tapped the screen.
Liu Wen still did not quite understand Xia Fang’s intentions. All the data had to be recorded. This was something that the professors had taught them in school, so why did she have to specially emphasize it?
“Alright, get up and put on your clothes. I’ll send you to the ward,” Xia Fang said as she packed up the equipment.
Qiao Mei slowly put on her clothes and secretly observed Xia Fang’s expression. She was not afraid if doctors said there was something wrong with her that was difficult to treat, but she was afraid when doctors frowned and sighed upon seeing her medical report, and even asked another doctor to come and take a look.
Could it be that her children had some incurable illness!
Pfft, pfft, pfft! She could not let her imagination run wild. Maybe it was just a small problem.
“Aunt, do I have some very serious illness?” Qiao Mei lowered her head and touched her stomach uneasily.
“Alright, alright, I’m just teasing you. You’re fine. The children are very healthy and your health is also very good. I was just scaring you just now,” Xia Fang said quickly.
She was afraid that if she left it any later, Qiao Mei would cry and Xia Zhe would come and settle the score with her.
“Oh my, Aunt. You lied to me!” Qiao Mei said as she widened her eyes and looked at Xia Fang.
“If I don’t scare you, do you know how serious this entire shenanigan is? Babies are very fragile. No matter how good your physical fitness is, you can’t mess around. The water is so cold. What if you fall ill from sitting around in it?” Xia Fang said anxiously.
“I know I’m in the wrong… Aunt, don’t be angry. I promise there won’t be a next time!” Qiao Mei raised three fingers and made a promise.
Xia Fang grabbed Qiao Mei’s three fingers and shook them. She held back her laughter and said, “You! I definitely won’t let you off easily next time! At that time, it would be useless to ask Uncle Liu Yang for help. Think of a way for yourself.”
“I just know that Aunt dotes on me the most!” Qiao Mei said.
“Alright, lie down quickly. When it’s time, I’ll push you into the ward.” Xia Fang patted the bed and gestured for Qiao Mei to lie down.
Qiao Mei lay down obediently on the hospital bed and even took out some makeup foundation from her pocket to make her face look even more pale.
“You have quite a lot of tricks up your sleeve, little girl.” Xia Fang carefully covered Qiao Mei with the blanket.
“This is called being careful! Which patient has rosy cheeks! This would be too fake! Elder sister gave this to me.” Qiao Mei stuck out her tongue playfully.
Liu Wen put away the data she had recorded and went out to ask Liu Yang and Liu Hua to come in.
“Mei Mei, when we go out later, don’t open your eyes no matter what you hear. Just stay motionless,” Liu Yang instructed.
“Why?” Qiao Mei looked at Liu Yang in confusion.
While Qiao Mei was doing her checkup, Xia Zhe had informed everyone in the family about this matter. Xu Lan hurriedly rushed over from the art troupe, dropping the ongoing rehearsals without a care.
“How is Qiao Mei!” Xu Lan rushed to Xia Zhe and grabbed his arm as she asked him.
Xia Zhe was also shocked by his mother’s lack of decorum. He had never seen Xu Lan so agitated before. Even when his elder brother was sick when they were still children, Xu Lan had never behaved in such a flustered manner.
“Say something! What’s wrong with Qiao Mei! Answer me quickly!” Xu Lan shook Xia Zhe agitatedly. Liu Fen was next to Xu Lan and held on to her, afraid that she would collapse to the ground.
“Mother, she’s still inside. The doctors haven’t come out yet and we’re all still waiting for news. Sit down first and don’t be so anxious,” Xia Zhe said as he held on to Xu Lan.
