Chapter 186

His gaze was gentle, indeed bringing a comforting strength to Ye Zhi, who calmed down slightly.

As the viscous gel was applied to his abdomen and the scanning device moved around, Ye Zhi’s body tensed up.

“Don’t be nervous, relax a little,” Dr. He said in a gentle tone, chatting casually with Yu. “Where is this child from? He looks unfamiliar; I haven’t seen him before.”

Yu was somewhat proud. “He’s a friend of our Qing Qing, from the big city. He’s working for Mr. Jia now.”

The large screen already showed the image of Ye Zhi’s abdomen, but Ye Zhi couldn’t see it, so he became even more nervous. Dr. He began to ask him, “When was the last time you had sexual intercourse? Your reproductive organs are very mature. Generally, the reproductive organs of male betas rarely develop so maturely. Yu, if your reproductive organs could develop like this, you wouldn’t have had such a difficult time when you were pregnant with Qing Qing.”

Being asked about sexual intercourse in public, Ye Zhi’s face reddened. He whispered, “About two months ago.”

The last time he and Huo Youqiao made love was in Huo Youcheng’s original bridal chamber, on the night before his exam. After that, they tried their best to avoid intimacy to avoid being noticed, but they didn’t expect to be discovered.

“That’s about right. The child is almost three months old.”

Ye Zhi was stunned. The word “child” seemed to explode in his ears, causing a roar in his head. For a moment, all perception disappeared.

A child? Was there a child in his belly?

Dr. He said, “Yes, indeed there is a child. Yu, come and take a look. It’s a small cluster here, now just the size of a peanut. When you were pregnant with Qing Qing, it was the same.” As she spoke, she scanned Ye Zhi’s abdomen and said, “There are no problems or abnormalities in the reproductive organs. By the way, let’s take a look at your liver.”

She was obviously a kind-hearted person, and the medical equipment was so advanced that it could image all organs except the heart and stomach.

“It seems that apart from being a bit thin, everything else is very healthy.” After Dr. He finished the examination, she finally looked at Ye Zhi. “Have you decided to keep this child? If you choose not to, you can also have an abortion, which is legal here.”

Abortion laws vary from city to city, and in some places, abortion is illegal.

Ye Zhi was asked twice before he finally returned to his senses from his shock, his usually calm face now showing excitement. He hurriedly said, “Yes! Of course I want it!”

Dr. He smiled and said, “I hope you do. It’s not easy for male betas to get pregnant; each one is a gift from the gods.”

After wiping off the mucus on his belly, Ye Zhi got off the table, still feeling a little dazed. Dr. He showed him the images just taken and pointed to a shadow. “Here is your child.”

It was too blurry there, and even the outline couldn’t be seen clearly, but Ye Zhi stared at it for a long time until tears welled up in his eyes. After a while, he nervously said, “But I took long-term contraceptive pills before. Will it affect the child…?”

“If you’re worried, you can come for a more detailed examination tomorrow, but I don’t think there’s any problem.” Dr. He smiled, “Even with contraceptive pills, it seems this child is truly heaven-sent.”

Ye Zhi agreed wholeheartedly with this statement.

When he left the city center, he didn’t take anything related to Huo Youqiao with him except for the note in his wallet. Everything else related to Huo Youqiao had been taken by Huo Youcheng. When he saw Ye Zhi looking at the bracelet taken by Huo Youcheng, the man maliciously asked him, “What? Still want something for consolation?”

Then he took off the bracelet in front of him and burned it to ashes.

Apart from the note tucked into his wallet, everything related to Huo Youqiao was gone.

But now, he realized that the most important thing had already been with him all along.

A joyous tadpole, swimming vigorously forward, then luckily rooting and sprouting in his reproductive organs, became the best gift left to him by Huo Youqiao.

It ignited a new hope for his future!

“Zhi Zhi, I’ll accompany you for prenatal check-ups!”
