Xuxu recalled that she had to accompany Zhou Shuang to the hospital . She told Aunt Zhang, “Let her wait in the living room . I’ll be out in a minute . ”
Aunt Zhang left with a nod of her head .
Seeing how Xuxu was eating her breakfast at a faster pace than usual, Mu Li asked, “Xuxu, you’re not going to work today?”
Xuxu nodded, saying, “I have something on in the morning . I’m accompanying Zhou Shuang to the hospital . ”
Mu Li asked with worried laced on her tone of voice . “Is Zhou Shuang sick? Is it serious?”
Xuxu smiled and shook her head .
“She’s not feeling too well . I’m accompanying her to get a checkup . ”
She finished the milk in one gulp, took a piece of bread, and she stood up .
“Father, Mother, I’ll make a move,” she greeted Mu Li and Yan Weihong .
“Be careful,” Mu Li replied .
“Mm . ”
Xuxu left the dining room and saw Zhou Shuang sitting on the sofa, looking like her spirit had left her .
She wanted to laugh . This masculine girl, who could easily fall asleep at a police station, was finally afraid of something .
“Xuxu,” Zhou Shuang greeted . She stood up and walked towards her .
At that point in time, Xuxu was her only pillar of support, the only person she could confide in .
“Let’s go,” Xuxu said .
Finishing up the last of her bread, she held onto Zhou Shuang’s elbow .
By the look on Zhou Shuang’s face, Xuxu didn’t dare to let her drive . So she made Zhou Shuang park her car in their courtyard, and Xuxu drove her own .
The City Women and Children’s Hospital was very crowded early in the morning . Everyone did their checkups in the morning .
After taking a queue number, they sat and waited near the entrance .
Zhou Shuang nervously grabbed Xuxu’s arm, her palms sweating profusely .
“Number 23, Zhou Shuang!”
The nurse read out Zhou Shuang’s name loud and clear . Zhou Shuang seemed to instinctively raise her hand and shouted, “Here!”
“Pfft!”
The entire room was shocked by her sudden exclamation .
Including Xuxu .
She raised her head to look at Zhou Shuang, thinking, ‘ Seems like this girl is really nervous, even her words are incoherent . ’
Zhou Shuang flushed with shame . She lowered her head and retracted her neck before following the direction the nurse was pointing . She walked towards the consultation room . Xuxu got up and followed behind her .
She patted Zhou Shuang’s back to comfort her . She consoled, “Don’t be scared, everything will be fine . What’s the worst thing that could happen? Huh?”
Zhou Shuang pursed her lips . She thought, ‘ I know there’s nothing to make a big fuss out of . At worst I’m only pregnant . Aren’t there many advertisements on television and lampposts advertising about painless abortion? ‘ She was merely hopping on the bandwagon, so there was nothing much about it .
After entering the consultation room, Zhou Shuang sat in front of the middle-aged female doctor . She asked a few questions before giving her an appointment slip for type B ultrasound .
She had to queue for the ultrasound . To Zhou Shuang, it was torture .
Xuxu phoned the matron to pull some strings .
The matron was Mu Li’s classmate . Of course, she agreed to Xuxu’s request .
The matron had her own consultation room, and it was well-equipped . Zhou Shuang laid down on the bed, and the matron herself helped her do the B ultrasound .
Zhou Shuang was so nervous that she held on tightly to her clothes . She shivered as they dripped coupling agent onto her belly .
“Don’t be scared, we’re only doing a B ultrasound,” the matron comforted as she carried out the ultrasound . Her gaze reverted to the screen, shock suddenly filled her expression .
“Oh my god! It’s been two or three years since I saw someone with triplets!”
Zhou Shuang jumped . “What?”
‘Triplets?’
Even Xuxu started to lose her cool . She rushed in front of the screen .
“Does she really have triplets?” she asked in agitation .
The matron nodded, explaining, “The ultrasound shows three sacs, it can’t be wrong . ”
“F*ck,” Zhou Shuang cursed . “How many times did Sissy Lu do it that night? Why are there so many?”
