Families with a great amount of wealth and influence usually had their own private doctors and the
Cheng family was not an exception.
The doctor felt Chloe's pulse for quite a while. Then, he asked Chloe to let him check her other hand.
He spent almost fifteen minutes feeling her pulse.
Chloe felt bored and kept shifting her feet. Then, she looked at Nolan and said, "I've already told you
that I'm fine. Why won't you believe me? Look, the doctor can't even figure out anything after checking
for so long."
The doctor suddenly took back his hand and looked at Nolan. A rare surprise could be seen on his
wrinkled face. "Congratulations, Mr. Cheng! Your wife is pregnant. In my estimation, it has only been a
little more than a month, so it's not that obvious right now. I couldn't see it at first, but after careful
examination, it's clear that she is pregnant."
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief afterward.
If he wasn't mistaken, Nolan was about to lose his temper just moments ago.
"Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Cheng," Addis happily exclaimed while looking at Nolan and Chloe.
Addis had been working for Nolan for the longest time. Seeing what Nolan had done for Chloe, he
knew that the man loved her very much. Now that Chloe was pregnant, how could he not be happy?
"What?"
After hearing the doctor's words, Chloe stared at him in disbelief.
"Are you sure? I... I'm pregnant? Am I really pregnant?"
she kept asking while looking at the doctor. She would have never expected it to happen to her. After
all, it was all too sudden.
Just today, Chloe was thinking that her friends had all become pregnant and had their own children.
She was wondering when she could be like them, having a baby of her own. How amazing it was that
her silent wish had suddenly turned into reality on the same day! She was so surprised, to say the
least.
The doctor was a little offended that his professional skills were being questioned. He had been
working for the Cheng family for so many years.
He had always made himself feel better with the thought that even if he wasn't as good as the ancient
famous doctor Hua Tuo, he had more expertise and experience than most other doctors in the area. He
had never made a mistake during the years that he worked for the Cheng family.
How could his diagnosis be wrong?
But judging from Chloe's reaction, it was obvious that she just genuinely could not believe it. She
wasn't pretending at all. So, after a second thought, the old doctor did not make a big deal of her
reaction.
"Yes, Mrs. Chloe. You've been pregnant for more than a month."
"Thank you. If you don't mind, please let us have a private moment," Nolan said.
Since Nolan had requested it, the doctor and Addis prepared to step out of the room.
But before the doctor could leave, he thought about what Chloe told him earlier. So he said to her,
"Mrs. Cheng, the food you ate was braised fish, right? It doesn't have a strong smell. It's just because
you're pregnant so you become more sensitive to it than usual. That is just natural."
After he said that, he left the room.
Chloe and Nolan were left by themselves in the bedroom, looking at each other awkwardly.
"Ah, I'm pregnant. I'm really pregnant."
Chloe looked at Nolan with so much happiness in her eyes. She then jumped out of the bed and threw
herself at him.
Nolan raised his eyebrows and caught her in his arms in time. "How can you jump like this since you're
pregnant? You should take care of the baby inside you," he reminded her.
"Oh, I almost forgot. I was too happy. I'm really pregnant."
Chloe continued to look at him with a wide smile.
But Chloe, who buried her face in Nolan's arms, didn't notice that he had distress all over his face. In
fact, he wasn't happy about the news at all.
Chloe had immersed herself in the happiness so much that she was completely clueless about what he
was feeling.
Nolan thought that when Chloe mentioned something about having a child, she wasn't that serious. In
all honesty, he didn't want to have a baby now. They had been together for quite a long time and he
had gotten used to living with her. If a baby were to suddenly come into their lives, her love for him
might be divided. He felt that it wasn't ideal and he might not be able to take it.
But he couldn't say anything when he saw the extreme happiness on Chloe's face.
She placed her palms on her belly and was amazed at the thought that there was an actual human
being inside her.
It was so wonderful!
At that moment, Chloe was so immersed in her own joy that she had forgotten what kinds of food
Cynthia had prepared for her visit earlier today.
After hugging Nolan for a while, Chloe let go of him. Then, she held his hand and guided him
downstairs. "Well, let's go downstairs and continue eating. I feel so much better and I'm not yet full."
She was thinking about the dishes Nolan had cooked for her.
"Didn't you want to throw up when you saw the dishes? Will you still be able to eat?"
Chloe frowned a little and thought, 'Maybe he's right.'
"You can go downstairs and take that braised fish away. I was enjoying the food at first, but when I saw
and smelled that fish, I felt really sick. Only that one made me want to throw up. The other dishes are
fine with me,"
Chloe said while looking at Nolan.
"I'll go and ask if you can eat the other dishes."
This time, he didn't follow what Chloe wanted as soon as she said it.
Although he didn't really want to have a child, what could he do? Since Chloe was already pregnant,
Nolan had to take care of her and the baby.
"Who are you going to ask?"
Chloe didn't understand what he meant.
Before she realized it, he had already left.
She then thought that the only person he could ask was the old doctor.
Sitting in the bedroom, Chloe took out her phone and couldn't help but send a message to Ashley.
"Ashley, I'm pregnant! Waaaaahhhhhh!"
Her message perfectly showed the joy that she was feeling right then.
She couldn't help but post a photo on WeChat Moments. But she didn't outright say that she was
pregnant. She just stated that she was extremely happy right then.
Meanwhile, Ashley didn't respond to Chloe right away.
Just as Chloe was about to leave the room and look for Nolan, he opened the door and came in. Chloe
ran over to him and asked, "Well, what did the doctor say? Can I eat those dishes?"
She had actually assumed that she could certainly eat the dishes. After all, she was eating with relish
earlier.
Nolan saw her eyes sparkled with delight. He then nodded.
"Wow, that's so great! I told you that I can eat them."
While she was speaking, she wanted to immediately run downstairs.
However, Nolan quickly stopped her.
"What's wrong?"
"Slow down."
"Oh, yes, I'm pregnant now."
Nolan held her waist and together, they went downstairs. As she requested, he took away the braised
fish and brought her a bowl of rice.
After some time, Chloe finished a few bowls of rice. She was smiling with a satisfied expression on her
face throughout the meal.
