"How are you feeling, Madame?" the director seated by the bedside asked, noticing Du Xixi’s bright eyes, slightly flushed cheeks, and a generally slender figure that had grown more rounded since they first met, knowing she had a comfortable pregnancy, "It seems these two little ones truly care for you!"
The director had seen countless pregnant women with poor complexions. It’s not that their families or husbands mistreated them, but rather the children in their wombs were relentless, making it impossible for the mothers to rest well, leaving their faces sallow and dull, showing none of the healthy glow a normal pregnant woman should have.
Furthermore, some expectant mothers experience severe morning sickness, and it’s not uncommon for them to vomit whatever they eat, barely growing a small belly after several months of pregnancy, losing weight by dozens of pounds.
Du Xixi not only looked healthy and had a good figure, but her whole being was filled with vitality, thanks to the care from her family and husband, and her two children not giving her any trouble, allowing her to peacefully sail through the final stages of her pregnancy.
"Yes, they’ve always been well-behaved." Du Xixi smiled warmly at the comment, gently stroked her belly, then asked the director, "I heard from Doctor Mo a few days ago that the director has been quite busy. How come you have time today? Will it delay anything for you?" Content originally comes from novel✶fire.net
Doctor Mo was now responsible for Du Xixi and was somewhat related to Mo Ying, a member of the Mo Family’s branch.
Despite being from a branch, Doctor Mo’s medical skills were top-notch. She graduated from the medical program at Blue Star University, and at only 120 years old, had already made a name for herself in the obstetrics and gynecology department at the military hospital.
Because Doctor Mo was highly skilled, straightforward, and reliable, the higher-ups arranged for her to care for Du Xixi, the Marshal’s Wife, in place of the busy director.
The director was gradually aging. Although in the medical field age often means more respect, she was passionate about leading the younger generation of medical talent.
Therefore, she had no objection to Doctor Mo taking over Du Xixi’s care, and proactively handed Du Xixi’s several prenatal examination reports to Doctor Mo so she could manage right from the start.
Hearing Du Xixi’s concern, the director smiled affectionately, treating Du Xixi in her heart as a cherished junior, and said, "Don’t worry, I’ve finished my work before coming to see you, so it’s not delaying anything."
Du Xixi felt relieved and smiled, seeing that the director wanted to chat idly with her, before sharing a few interesting everyday stories.
For example, last night, the two children played "hide and seek" with Ke Lian while he listened to their heartbeats, scaring him when he couldn’t hear them, causing him to rush to find Doctor Mo, and relaxing only after learning the children were fine, before continuing to lie by the bedside listening to the heartbeats.
Or the morning before last, when Ke Lian got up early to bid goodbye to the children, he patted the pregnant belly of the sleeping Du Xixi, upon which the two children very synchronously placed their little hands on the belly, and the father and his sons had a belly-separated "give me five."
And when Du Xixi previously couldn’t move around, Ke Lian always felt if he left her side, she and the children might suddenly disappear, so he often leaned over the bedside staring at her, scaring the duty house-hunting medical staff half to death.
The medical staff even mistakenly thought that the Marshal slept with his eyes open!
"You and the Marshal are truly in love." The director, though unmarried and childless herself, had dedicated most of her life to the medical field but she was not clueless about matters of love.
In her youthful years, the shy director once had a romantic entanglement with a boy she admired, characterized by sweetness and sadness, which eventually became an unclear, indescribable pain in her heart as time slowly passed.
Though she had known since her youth that she held no illusions about love, witnessing countless couples come to the obstetrics department, some attentive and warm, others intimately inseparable, the director still sincerely offered her blessings.
Du Xixi and Ke Lian were just one among many couples, equally sweet, equally in love, prompting the director to sincerely offer her blessings.
Thinking of Ke Lian, Du Xixi’s smile softened even more: "He is the greatest surprise I’ve received in this world."
