Chapter 268 Just simple neutral (1/2)

”B-thump. B-thump. B-thump.”

The sound of a beating heart echoes inside the quiet room. From a small monitor, the image of black and while form like the galaxy with a pea size white dot in the center.

”Are you alright, miss?”

From the side comes a female doctor's voice. In her hand was a transducer for transabdominal ultrasound and a fetal Doppler phoebe in her other hand. She looks at Yue Ling and a confused expression was written on her face.

Wouldn't a woman be jumping in joy at this moment?

Thinking of it, she looks at the handsome father. Even more surprisingly, the man looked like he was lost in space. Looking back at Yue Ling, she was a little worried.

”Miss, are you alright?”

Laying on the exam table in a daze. Yue Ling's bluish green eyes stare at the monitor and everything around her seemed to have fade out, except for the thumping sound. The little white pea on the monitor thump in a rhythm correspondently her heart beat. At first, she thought she was hearing her own heart beat, but that wasn't the case....

A smile curl on her lip and her eyes turned moist. She comes out of her daze and smiles to the doctor, ”I'm alright.”

Turning her head to the other side, she looks at the devilishly handsome man. Seeing his stuck expression, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Reaching a hand out, she place it above Lu Tian's hand.

”Tian...”

For the first time since they've been together, Lu Tian did not answer her. His eyes stare unblinking at the monitor in front him. If one was to say Yue Ling was in daze, then his daze was beyond out of this world.

After Yue Ling adjust her clothes, the female doctor had come in. She asked Yue Ling to lay on the exam table, then slightly shifting Yue Ling's sweater up, she applied a thin layer of gel on her stomach. Before he knew it, the doctor moved the transducer across Yue Ling's stomach and a black and white image appeared on the monitor screen.

He stare at it and tried to make out what it was, but all he could see was some swirls here and there. Just as he thought so, the doctor used another equipment and gently place it on Yue Ling's stomach. Before he could ask questions, the thumping sound echoed in the room. Everything the doctor seemed to be saying was cut out and only the thumping sound was all her could hear.

However, at this moment, his eyes are locked into the tiny white dot in the center.

”Tian...”

Yue Ling called out to him again. She chuckles at how much the man is in daze.

”Say hi to our baby.”

Like before, he did not answer, but continue to stare at the monitor. After a long while, his lips parted and a faint whisper escapes.

”Our baby....”

The straight line of his lip curl upwards into a faint smile. He stares at the screen, then coming out of his daze, he looks at his wife.

This time, the faint smile curl upwards more until it reach his eyes. It was a smile that he never knew he could make until he met her. He move his hand and held her hand tightly.

”This is our baby. Our little baby. Yue Ling, I can see our little baby.”

Bursting into pure joy, Lu Tain could only chant the words repeatedly. He plant kisses on the back of Yue Ling's hand and continues to look at the screen.

He is really a father!!!

Watching the man she loves in joy, Yue Ling could not help but smile with him. Even she didn't think she'd have this chance to be a mother.

Being forgotten, the nurse watch the lovely couple and she smiles with them. At first, she thought they weren't happy, but man did she thought wrong. She should of expected this from the beginning, especially when it comes to seeing the reaction of first time parents.

”Both mother and baby are healthy.”

——-

After a while, Yue Ling's check up came to an end. She finished fixing her clothes back to how it was. Looking at the man still sitting down, Yue Ling walks over to him.

”Are you alright?”

Lu Tian nod his head, but he did not look up. His head lower and he stare at the ultrasound picture in his hand. Ever since he saw the monitor screen to the moment the doctor gave him the picture, he never looked away from it. Just looking at it, he felt it in him that he will protect their baby. Never will he let anything dangerous happen to his wife and child.

Standing in front of him, Yue Ling lift her hand and she gently flicks him on the forehead.

Lu Tian: ”.....”

She lets out a soft chuckle and snatch the ultrasound picture away from him. Looking at it, she could feel the same feelings Lu Tian is feeling. A child born into the world wants nothing more than the love and protection of his or her parents.

Just like her parents, she will give her child everything they gave her.
