Doctor Michael stopped explaining.
Lilia was still not fully conscious. After waiting for a while, she realized this doctor hadn't continued his answer. Then she turned her head suspiciously. "But what?"
Doctor Michael glanced at her, then turned to face Jean. "If you take medicine, then your stomach..."
At this time, Jean's serious tone echoed throughout the room. "Let me explain!"
Hearing this, Doctor Michael felt relieved. "Then your husband will tell you the rest. I'll be waiting outside the door."
This doctor's words managed to confuse Lilia, making her feel a bad feeling in her heart.
She heard what the doctor said about her stomach.
Was there a problem with her stomach?
At that time, there were only a few nurses in the special ward who were busy recording data from the machines. Doctor Michael then led them to leave the room.
Jean leaned closer then gently and lovingly stroked Lilia's forehead with his thumb. "Does it still hurt?"
From the close distance between the two of them, Lilia's pain seemed to rush through her body.
And from their extremely close distance, Lilia gradually noticed Jean's heavy gaze.
She was a smart woman, so even if she was hurt, her delicate mind could still detect that something had gone wrong.
She raised her hand and slowly wrapped it around the man's neck, pulling him closer. She rubbed her cheek against the man's chin then muttered softly, "Did the doctor find any disease in my stomach? Can't they cure it? Jean, tell me. Didn't you promise you'll never hide anything from me?"
Lilia didn't mind listening to any fact regardless of how painful it might be. But she couldn't stand her man hiding the truth from her.
Her husband then sighed and kissed her forehead. "Don't talk nonsense. You are very healthy, how can you be sick?"
His words were so cute that Lilia arched her brows and looked into his eyes. "But the doctor said that there was something with my stomach... What happened?"
As soon as she said it, a panicked silence spread across the ward.
Lilia shoved his shoulders and looked directly into the man's eyes with rosy eyes, trying to catch some hints from his expression.
His silence only added to the bad feeling inside her heart.
Seconds later, the corners of the man's lips loosened slightly and his handsome face was filled with a complex expression. Just as Lilia's patience was running out, a sentence echoed in her ear.
"We're having a baby!"
She was completely taken aback by the news, and the ecstatic feeling after the shock surged like a tide, making her unconsciously move her ankle and caused her to grimace in pain.
Previously, she had been lying down and did not care about the swelling in her ankles.
But due to her exaggerated excitement, a heart-wrenching pain came from her ankle in an instant, and it made her eyes bulge.
The man looked at her pale cheeks with depressed eyes, his heart felt tense and tight.
He lifted the light blanket that covered her and saw her ankles were swollen with some bruises. Jean was immediately stunned with murderous rage.
He would definitely investigate this accident thoroughly!
"You just sprained your ankle. I'll give you an ice pack to relieve the pain later, so be patient first."
The man's indistinct tone sounded pitiful, but Lilia held his hand and looked at him with surprised eyes. "Jean, what did you just say? Say it again, let me hear it again!"
Did he just say that she was pregnant? Did she not hear it wrong?
Jean let her pull him closer and leaned in front of her. He caressed her cheek with one hand and gave her a kiss on the lips. He repeated it in the corner of her mouth once again and said, "Lilia, you are pregnant. You're pregnant with our baby…"
Lilia heard the man's calm voice, and finally she decided that she was not having hallucinations.
Her face was slightly red with uncontrollable emotions, and there was a hint of tears accumulating in her clear eyes.
The indistinct feeling she felt was simply amazing. After confirming this, Lilia stretched out her hand and reached for her stomach.
She was carrying Jean's child...
Her excitement and surging emotions were still mixed, and after a while, she felt that something was wrong.
Why did she feel that the atmosphere in this ward was getting tense?!
She forcefully suppressed her smile, her wet eyes fixed on Jean for a moment. Seeing his serious expression, her heart tightened. "Jean, are you not happy with this...?"
The man's cold eyes turned warm in an instant. Then he bent over her and his gaze was full of affection as he said, "Of course I'm happy."
Jean's answer couldn't erase her suspicion. She could feel the weight that her husband's pair of sky blue eyes tried to hide from her.
But Lilia didn't say much, she quickly sorted out her thoughts and thought about all kinds of possibilities.
Meanwhile, Jean pursed the corners of his lips and his eyes were filled with a complexity that Lilia couldn't understand.
After a while, she let out a sigh of relief and touched her forehead with her hand. She muttered to herself while laughing, "Jean, didn't we agree that there won't be any secrets between us? I'm trying to keep that promise, shouldn't you too? Tell me what's troubling you!"
The man could hear that Lilia was demanding the truth.
He sighed silently, then pulled the chair to the side and sat on the side of the bed. He looked serious? as he said, "Fine, I won't hide anything from you. But you have to be ready!"
Lilia was shocked. "What do you mean?"
The man didn't hesitate anymore, he told her what the doctors said to him earlier.
He spoke slowly, and Lilia was also listening carefully.
When he finished with the last word, his eyes stared blankly at her.
Lilia faintly looked up at the ceiling above, her fingertips on her lower abdomen were trembling slightly. "Is this really serious? But I also took a CT film during my physical examination in Jakarta two days ago..."
The man held her hand then placed it on his lips and kissed it. "Whatever decision you'll make, I'll always be by your side."
This was their first child, and it was proof of Jean and Lilia's love.
But the situation was different now. They only found out about this pregnancy after Lilia experienced an accident that could've put her in a grave danger and threatened her life. This was what made her and Jean reluctant to decide what they should do next, especially to save their baby.
Therefore, Jean let Lilia decide it, and he would accept whatever choice she'd make later.
When asked, it was clear that Jean wanted to keep it. No matter what happened to that child, he would continue to love them.
Even if the child was born with health problems, it wouldn't be difficult to provide a safe and secure life given his financial resources.
Lilia looked sideways at her husband's affectionate eyes while scratching her palm with the tip of her weak finger. "I want to ask my uncle first."
Julius was also a doctor, and he was a genetic analyst. Lilia instinctively wanted to hear his opinion on such matters.
"Okay." The man took out his cell phone and quickly found Julius' number.
After the call connected, he put the phone to Lilia's ear. At that instant, he whispered, "Don't talk too long. I'll be waiting outside for you."
Lilia gently held his phone and winked at him.
When the man walked out of the ward, the frown in his forehead relaxed a little.
He massaged his brow and raised his head after the door behind him was completely shut. However, he didn't expect to see eight people standing in the corridor.
His best friends had come.
