The doctor pierced the needle through her skin at the exact same moment when the trainee doctor held onto her hand. Instantaneously, Lin Xinyan forgot about the pain.
After a brief moment, she recollected herself and pulled her hand away from the trainee doctor without hesitation. Glaring at him with her eyes, she chided, “What do you think you are doing?”
She did not hold herself back. Perhaps she was truly angry. Her voice immediately caught the attention of those around them.
The trainee doctor stared at Lin Xinyan, not knowing how to react. Should he be happy because she was angered by another man’s touch? However, he was not just any other man.
“Go away. I don’t need your help. I can find my way,” Lin Xinyan said as she turned her head away with her brows deeply furrowed. She was confused as to whether she was upset with the trainee doctor or herself.
Earlier, when he held her hand, she felt her heart palpitating so quickly.
Zong Jinghao just stood there as he dared not explain himself. He stayed in position until the doctor was done drawing her blood. Then, Lin Xinyan stood up, snatched the hospital form from his hands, and left without another word.
Her footsteps were unusually quick. Maybe she was desperate to escape from this trainee doctor.
The latter looked on as she disappeared down the corridor. Letting out a sigh in resignation, he began to follow her from afar. He dared not get too close to her.
The hospital was a large building but there were many signages directing visitors to any department or lab. So, one would definitely not get lost despite being unfamiliar with the place.
4D ultrasound belonged to the Department of Radiology which was on the first floor. As there was a queue, Lin Xinyan passed her form to the nurse in charge and sat down at an empty spot.
Zong Jinghao stood a few steps away from her.
While she was aware that he was following her, she chose to keep quiet and feign ignorance. Not once did she even glance at him.
“Lin Xinyan, room number two.” Her name was called shortly after.
She stood up and walked towards the second room with her medical records in hand.
She only walked into the room after the previous patient exited. At that moment, she turned around and realized that the trainee doctor did not follow her in.
Upon this, she breathed a sigh of relief. This trainee doctor is over-doing it. But, surely he would become a good doctor in the future.
This was not her first time doing a checkup. She had been here before during her previous pregnancy. Once she entered the room, she naturally lay down on the bed.
Just as she was about to lift her shirt, she spotted the trainee doctor in the room. Didn’t he leave earlier?
“I thought you don’t allow outsiders here,” Lin Xinyan remarked. She was in a dilemma. There was a man standing next to her and she was in a dress. Surely she would need to lift her dress if she were here for an ultrasound.
The female doctor-in-charge seemed to sense Lin Xinyan’s discomfort with strangers. She stood there and told the latter with a smile, “He is a trainee doctor. Don’t mind him. Let’s get your dress up so that we can proceed with the ultrasound.”
Afraid that she would still feel uncomfortable, the doctor added, “Please don’t discriminate against male gynecologists.”
Lin Xinyan turned speechless at this and bit on her lips.
It’s not that I discriminate against them. It’s just… We had physical contact earlier and I feel rather awkward.However, she was left without a choice but to shut her eyes and lifted her dress. As her legs became exposed, the cold air from the air-conditioner brushed against her legs. Her hands clenched into two fists. Nobody knew whether it was due to the cold or the presence of Zong Jinghao.
After spreading the ultrasound gel, the female doctor picked up the transducer and placed it on her belly. Very quickly, an image appeared on the screen and the trainee doctor looked extremely nervous and excited.
He could not contain his exhilaration because it was his first time viewing a real-life ultrasound.
The 4D ultrasound image was very clear. The doctor indirectly informed Zong Jinghao of the results by speaking to Lin Xinyan, “The fetus is at four months now. Overall fetus length is at 16 centimeters. The eyes, ears, and nose can be clearly seen too. It would weigh about 110 grams which is the weight of about two eggs. Fetus development looks good and healthy and nothing seems out of the ordinary. However…”
