Words I Was Afraid To Hear Chapter 95

Manta came into view while they were bickering . He was scratching his eye areas with his chubby hands and was yawning .

"Baachan, Jiichan, ohayoo~*" his little voice was adorable .

"Ohayo, Mantarou . My cute little bun, did Jiichan wake you up?" Aoi Xiu surely dotes on her grandson while blaming her husband with a glare .

Xiu Jin cleared his throat . "Mantarou, you wanna play ball with Jiichan in the garden?"

The boy's face lit up in a smile and he nodded excitedly .

Xiu Jin had a bright smile on his face as he led his grandson out of the room . This irritated his wife who was still packing his things .

Suddenly, her phone rang . It was her daughter . She hurriedly picked up .

"Midori . " Her thoughts were wandering on possibilities for an early morning phone call .

"h.e.l.lo, Mom . Is Dad still with you?"

"Unfortunately . What's the matter?"

"Can we meet at TU restaurant at lunch?" Midori glanced at the man next to her .

"Sure . Do you need your father?" Aoi Xiu was still determined to send Xiu Jin back to City S as soon as possible .

"Hai . Arigatou, Okaasan . "

"Hmmn . " Aoi Xiu hung up . Then she went to find her husband .

She saw him playing soccer with his grandson, well it was more like he was teaching Manta how to kick the ball .

Aoi Xiu approached her grandson . "Mantarou, it's time for you to wash up . Kudou-sensei should not wait long for you . "

Manta paused and realized that he indeed has lessons that day . "Hai, Obaachan . " He followed his nanny into the house to take his bath .

Xiu Jin looked at the serious expression on his wife . "Where are we going?"

Though he had prepared himself for this, Dan was still nervous on meeting his in-laws for this purpose . He might really get himself killed .

He threw several pieces of clothing onto the bed, still undecided on what to wear .

Midori giggled as she looked at his fl.u.s.tered face . She could still remember his reaction the day before when the doctor handed them the result of her blood test .

"Mr . and Mrs . Zhou, here's the result of the serum BetHCG . " She looked at the patient . "Congratulations . Mrs . Zhou, we will now proceed on evaluating the status of your pregnancy . "

The doctor, who was fluent in Dan's language, led them to the examining area .

Midori lied on the bed as she held Dan's hand . She squinted when the ultrasound probe was inserted for evaluation .

They all stared at the monitor . After a while, the doctor pointed at a seemingly pulsating part of the image . "See here, that's the baby's heart . "

Dan kissed his wife's hand, which he was tightly clutching, as tears fell down his cheeks .

Midori was also crying while flashing a bright smile, still dazed on the image in the screen .

The doctor made some measurements to date the pregnancy and nodded as it coincided within limits to the age of gestation based on the patient's last menstrual period .

After the sonogram images were printed, they were led back to the office and the rest of the results were given, along with a prescription of supplements to support the pregnancy .

The couple intently listened to every advice and restriction the doctor gave . The husband flooded the doctor with a series of questions, from the diet to possible s.e.xual activities . The understanding doctor answered all of it . Satisfied, they politely bid goodbye after making sure they understood very well .

Midori chuckled as her husband remained conflicted on clothes . She went through his luggage and found the taupe tie in crazy diamonds design which made her smile .

"What have you got there?" Her husband suddenly appeared behind her .

Her smile brightened as she showed the tie . She went over the clothes haphazardly laid out on the bed . She took a pair of black suit and a light gray shirt . "These will do . " She held them up for him to see .

He walked towards her, then he cupped her cheeks and kissed her pa.s.sionately .

When they were out of breath, he decided to let go of her lips . He caressed her lower abdomen . "Little Bun, wish Daddy good luck!" He took the clothes from his wife and started to get dressed .
