But since the doctor said that the levels of hCG in her body had slightly increased, Lin Nuan felt her heart beating quickly and could hear the blood pounding in her ears.
She tried to steady her breathing and told the doctor that the pregnancy test results had come out negative.
The doctor replied that it took time for fertilization and for the fertilized egg to be implanted in the womb. He also said that it was best to wait until her period had been delayed to take a pregnancy test, as it would give the most accurate results.
Lin Nuan instantly began to panic, and she subconsciously placed her hand over her abdomen. She thought of the wound on her arm and asked, "I was injured a few days ago and got a tetanus shot. If I'm pregnant, will that affect the baby?"
The doctor replied that the tetanus shot that Lin Nuan was worried about wouldn't have a significant impact. What the doctor didn't tell her was that she was given anesthetic when her wound was stitched up, which could affect the baby. However, it was too early to tell if Lin Nuan was really pregnant, and the doctor didn't want her to worry unnecessarily, so he didn't tell her.
Despite the doctor saying that the tetanus shot wouldn't affect the baby significantly, Lin Nuan continued to worry. As she stepped out of the doctor's office, she couldn't help but take out her phone to search the internet for answers. Her phone was then taken away by Fu Huai'an…
The moment her phone was taken away from her hands, Lin Nuan raised her head to look at Fu Huai'an. "I'm searching the internet to see if getting a tetanus shot when you're pregnant will affect the baby!"
Fu Huai'an was amused as he looked at Lin Nuan's nervous expression. "You're at a hospital, and you don't believe the doctor when he says that it's fine. Are you only going to be happy once you find out on the internet that it's harmful?"
Lin Nuan bit her lip. She knew that what Fu Huai'an said made sense, but she couldn't help but worry!
To Lin Nuan, although the doctor said that there was only a possibility of her being pregnant, she still felt like it was a very critical situation.
She had always wanted children, but she hadn't prepared for it at all since the pregnancy test had come out negative!
Now that she was suddenly told that the baby might already be there, it was hard for her not to panic!
After all… if Lin Nuan was really pregnant, it would be her first pregnancy and her first time being a mother!
Lin Nuan knew that she was being too nervous and that her mind was in a mess. After calming down, she nodded and listened to Fu Huai'an. "Then, I won't search the internet!"
When Fu Huai'an passed the phone back to Lin Nuan, their fingers touched, and he could feel the thin layer of sweat that had formed on her palms.
She gripped her phone tightly and glanced at the time. She then let out a long breath and pretended to be relaxed as she smiled at Fu Huai'an. "The doctor only said there's a possibility of me being pregnant. I'm being too nervous! I shouldn't overthink before it can be confirmed. You still have a meeting in the afternoon. Let Uncle Hu drive you back to the company! I'll just take a cab to the agency!"
Fu Huai'an frowned upon hearing that Lin Nuan was going to the agency. "The doctor told you to get ample rest. We're not even out of the hospital yet, and you've forgotten that already?"
"No…" Lin Nuan replied simply and looked down. The words "possibility of being pregnant" were all that she could think about. She bit her lip and stopped herself from placing her hand over her abdomen.
Fu Huai'an grabbed Lin Nuan's slender hand and rubbed his thumb across the back of it. She raised her head and saw Fu Huai'an staring at her with his deep eyes. Worried that he could tell that she was panicking over the possibility of being pregnant, she looked back down.
"Afraid?" Fu Huai'an asked.
Lin Nuan shook her head before nodding. "A little…"
She was afraid that it was just a false alarm and that she wasn't really pregnant. She was also scared that she was really pregnant and that the tetanus shot she received would affect the baby.
Lin Nuan was brimming with anticipation towards the baby, but she was also worried that she'd hurt the baby right from the very beginning. After some deliberation… it would be best if she wasn't pregnant this time!
Lin Nuan felt vexed and lost, and she couldn't work out her thoughts. The more she thought about it, the more frantic she felt.
Fu Huai'an noticed the conflicted look on Lin Nuan's face and grabbed her wrist. He then brought her to the staircase door and pushed it open for Lin Nuan to enter…
It was quiet, and there was no one in there. Fu Huai'an pulled Lin Nuan towards him, and, with a pair of genuine leather gloves in his hands, he held onto her slender shoulders. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "If the baby's here, we'll just focus on being good parents and welcome the baby into the world. If the baby isn't here…"
Fu Huai'an paused, causing Lin Nuan to feel uneasy. She looked up at him, her eyes reddening slightly. Fu Huai'an was getting on in years, so he was probably eager to have a baby!
"If the baby isn't here…" Fu Huai'an held onto Lin Nuan's slender waist with his large hand and pulled her even closer, causing her body to press against his tightly. His magnetic voice was teasing as he said, "I'd be glad to spend more time living a shameless life with Mrs. Fu!"
The tips of Lin Nuan's ears flushed a bright red, and her clear eyes were a little red.
Fu Huai'an's right hand moved up from Lin Nuan's thin shoulder to her cheek. He gently rubbed his thumb across Lin Nuan's red lips, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly before he leaned down to kiss her.
The chaste kiss was very gentle. When Fu Huai'an pulled away, he saw that Lin Nuan's face was already extremely red.
He thought that his wife would already be used to his advances. He didn't expect her to blush over a gentle kiss at a staircase.
Seeing Lin Nuan acting so shy made Fu Huai'an think of how she had reacted to him in the beginning!
Back then, Lin Nuan was like a rosebud. Now, the rose had bloomed beautifully and magnificently for him.
"Don't think too much. Just focus on recovering from the wound on your arm, okay?"
Fu Huai'an's voice was calm, and it gently grazed over Lin Nuan's heart like a feather…
"Okay!" Lin Nuan blushed and nodded.
Her shy expression made him unable to hold himself back, and he leaned down to kiss her again.
Just then, Lin Nuan heard two female doctors grumbling in the lobby about when the elevators would be operating again and why they had to undergo maintenance now. There were five elevators undergoing maintenance at the same time, and the remaining elevator wasn't enough. She was startled and ducked to avoid being seen. She was scared that the doctors would give up waiting for the elevator and take the stairs instead.
Fu Huai'an grabbed onto Lin Nuan's shoulders and pushed her backward.
Lin Nuan was pressed against the wall. She pushed her palms against Fu Huai'an's chest and moved her head away. Her heart was beating rapidly, and she felt nervous, feeling as if she had done something wicked and was afraid of being caught. She whispered, "This is a hospital, and there are people outside!"
Fu Huai'an didn't budge. Through the glass in the doors to the staircase, Lin Nuan saw that the doctors seemed to be making their way to their staircase. She anxiously pushed Fu Huai'an. "We're really going to be seen!"
From the corner of his eye, Fu Huai'an saw that the two doctors had given up waiting for the elevator and were walking towards the staircase arm in arm. He decided not to tease Lin Nuan any further and held her hand as they walked down the staircase. "You Nainai's nearby, so I'll get her to send you back. Have a good rest, okay?"
"Okay!" Lin Nuan obediently nodded her head before saying, "There's no need to get Nainai to take me back. That'll be too troublesome for her. I'm just going home, so it'll be fine for Uncle Hu to send me back. And besides, Little Lu is already on the way to get you… If Nainai comes over to get me, won't Uncle Hu have to wait here for an hour before going to the kindergarten to fetch Tuan Tuan?"
