Chapter 353 - 353: We Should Cuddle Some More (1/2)

”Zhihao, explain.”

After they've gotten home, Ethan waited for Lillie to sleep before contacting Song Zhihao to question his diagnose on her.

[I apologize for my incompetence, Ethan. I'm prepared to take full responsibility.] Song Zhihao said in the other line, sincerity was evident in his tone.

[But please hear me out first. I believe it's better if we soothe this matter personally. That being the case, I would like to invite you and Miss Bai to visit my home. There's also...someone I want you two to meet.]

A curious brow arched at the peculiarity of Song Zhihao's words. Something compelled him to be under the impression that this wasn't just a simple case of misdiagnosis as they all initially thought.

His good friend is a brilliant physician. For Ethan to state that fact wasn't solely based on his relationship with Song Zhihao as his long-time friend, but purely because he earned it with his skills.

Song Zhihao had never misdiagnosed a patient before. That's why he had been so indignant and defensive when Cyrus and Cyra started bad-mouthing and cursing him; questioning the skills he worked so hard to hone.

But if his instincts failed him and Song Zhihao did made a mistake with his wife's diagnose, friend or not, Song Zhihao will pay a big price for endagering his wife and baby.

”We'll be there.” He glaced at Lillie, who was lying on the bed taking a nap. ”Probably around noon.”

[Very well. I'll see you two soon then. Thank you for hearing me our first, Ethan.]

Humming, Ethan ended the call before silently sauntering back to the bed and join his wife. It was only the start of the day, and Ethan didn't anticipated that his energy would drain so quickly from that particular development.

A baby. His and Lillie's.

Oh god, he's going to be a father!

Pent up emotions that he's been concealing for Lillie were begging to be released. He kept a brave facade to not stress her out.

Honestly speaking, he also on the verge of having a panic attack when the twins dropped the bomb. He didn't know whether to be happy, excited, worried, or frightened.

Maybe all of the above. It was a rollercoaster of emotions. But there's one thing for sure, he can't wait to see their baby, he can't wait to have his own family.

Finally, his dream is gradually coming together. It's already within his reach, just a few more inches before he completely grasps it.

Ethan tilted his head to the side to get a good look on his wife's peaceful face. The healthy color of her skin returned when she had a light meal and a good rest.

The twins highly recommends that she doesn't strain herself, and rest when her body is telling her to. They also approved that Lillie should continue taking the vitamins Song Zhihao prescribed her with to increase her blood iron.

So far, the twins' prescriptions were not much different from Song Zhihao's, except for the additonal vitamins for pregnant women and the food she should and shouldn't eat.

Sigh. What a day.

”What seem to occupy your mind?” A dainty hand hovered over his eyes and uncoiled the frown he didn't realized he was wearing.

Her soft, warm fingers delicately traced his forehead in random, wavey patterns. A deep, content breath left his mouth. Lillie's touch was doing wonders to his nerves.

It's like magic. Just a few strokes and it calmed him down.

”Good morning. Did I wake you up?” Ethan turned to his side and planted a kiss on Lillie's forehead.

”Hmm...good morning.” There's still a tinge of sleepiness in her voice, and it was both cute and s.e.xy. How's that possible? ”And no, I naturally woke up. I had enough rest.”

”That's good. Do you feel better?”

”Much better.” Lillie said before proceeding to bury her face on his chest.

Chuckling in amus.e.m.e.nt, Ethan placed his chin on the crown of her head. ”I called Zhihao a while ago. He wants us to visit him at his house.”

”What time?”

”Noon. We still have three hours. So in the meantime, we should cuddle some more.”

”I like that very much.” She muttered, her voice muffled by his shirt. A few seconds later after she said that, she added, ”You didn't answered my question.”
