As Lin Qiao recovered from the dizziness, she felt her energy flowing out of the zombie nucleus which was located in her brain.
Her energy was leaking! She tried to control it, but failed. She couldn't bring the energy back into her nucleus.
She sensed the energy flow downward along her spine, then move to the front and gather into her lower abdomen at last.
That was…
Lin Qiao was surprised. Her energy had flowed to Viney. It felt exactly like how Viney absorbed the energies from the energy nuclei that she put against her belly before.
What was happening? Was Viney awake?
Before, Viney was always awake when she absorbed energies. The absorption never happened when while she was in sleep.
Lin Qiao was confused, worried, and scared. She didn't know what was happening, and she was worried if it was some kind of accident that caused Viney to absorb her energy like that.
"How do you feel? Can you walk?" Duan Juan sent one of her men to Lin Hao, then quickly turned around and walked into the conference room. She looked at Lin Qiao with concern, automatically raising her arms to help her.
Lin Qiao opened her eyes and quickly glanced at her stomach, then said, "I'm fine…"
She took a deep breath and slowly raised one foot to make a step without the help of the two by her sides.
Just now, the dizziness came so suddenly that she was unprepared. She still felt a little dizzy now, but apart from that, there was no other discomfort. Her energy was flowing into her lower stomach endlessly. That didn't give her any bad feeling, but she couldn't tell if it would be harmful for Viney, or if anything bad would happen when she forcibly stopped the energy flow.
Thinking about Viney's safety, Lin Qiao turned a little anxious. But still, she had to remain calm.
The medical department wasn't far away from the administration hall. When Lin Qiao walked into the medical department with worry, Lin Hao ran out to see her and hurriedly came over.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Lin Hao asked her with a serious look.
"Let's get in," Lin Qiao held her breath and headed straight into his consulting room.
It had been a couple of minutes, but Viney was still absorbing her energy. No other part of her body felt uncomfortable though.
Lin Hao followed Lin Qiao into the consulting room while the others waited outside. At that time, Lin Hao repeated his question.
"What happened? Are you feeling unwell?"
"She's absorbing my energy… I can't control it. My energy has been flowing down to my belly from my brain. No other feelings," Lin Qiao said as she looked at her lower abdomen and put a hand on it.
With a slight frown, Lin Hao thought for a moment, then turned and opened another door to let her in as he said, "Get in, lie on the bed. I'll give you a check-up."
Lin Qiao walked in and saw a small bed with all kinds of devices by the side. She lay down uneasily.
Lin Hao walked in and put on a pair of gloves. While closing the door, he noticed that Lin Qiao was wearing a deep frown the whole time. So, he comforted her, "Sister, relax! It should be fine if you don't feel any discomfort. Don't be so nervous! You need to relax."
Lin Qiao automatically took a deep breath. She didn't even need air actually. Taking deep breaths was only a human habit that she had. It was also a way to comfort herself.
Lin Hao walked to the bedside and lifted her cloth, then lowered her pants slightly. He first observed her slightly bulged belly, then put a palm on it and gently pressed.
Lin Qiao's body controlled a strong energy, so Lin Hao's palm instantly felt a burning heat.
He didn't feel anything unusual with his palm, so he picked up the device to scan Lin Qiao's uterus.
"Did this happen before?" Lin Hao asked during the scanning.
Lin Qiao shook her head and responded, "No, it's the first time. It was a bit serious at first, as I nearly passed out. It's much better now. This energy flow is making me feel very dizzy though, and my head seems to be swelling. I don't feel anything from my belly. It's like how she absorbs energy nuclei before. But this time, she's absorbing my energy."
'She didn't even warn me!' she complained in her head.
Lin Hao continued the scanning with a serious look. A while later, he stopped and dropped his head to think.
"How is it? Is there any problem?" Lin Qiao asked nervously.
Lin Hao raised his head as he looked at her and said, "There's no big problem. The baby is healthy…"
He paused briefly to think, then continued, "Did she absorb a large amount of your energy?"
Lin Qiao shook her head and said, "No. Only about one percent so far. It never stopped."
Based on the current absorption rate, Lin Qiao believed that her energy would dry out in less than three months.
"Maybe you should stay here for a couple of days for observation. I think you can try to absorb some energy nuclei. In that way, you'll at least be able to keep nourishing the baby," Lin Hao thought for a moment and said.
"Nourishing?" Lin Qiao looked at Lin Hao with confusion when she heard that word.
Lin Hao explained with, "Normally, a baby would have started to absorb nourishment from the mother in this phase. Your body is special. You don't have the normal kinds of nourishments, so the baby automatically chose to absorb your energy. I guess she won't be absorbing anything else but your energy now."
Lin Qiao knew that Lin Qiao used to put energy nuclei on her belly for the baby to absorb, so the baby would have the nourishment it needed.
"Is that so?" Lin Qiao looked at him and asked.
Lin Hao couldn't say for sure yet. "I'm not sure," she said, "It's only a guess. I still need to make some observations to confirm it. So, you should stay here for a few days. I'm going to arrange a room for you now."
In spite of Lin Hao's uncertainty, Lin Qiao relaxed a little upon seeing the look on his face. She knew her brother well. He wouldn't be so calm if he were really unconfident.
"Alright, I get it," she nodded.
Soon, Lin Hao arranged a quiet and clean room for Lin Qiao.
The news that Lin Qiao stayed in the hospital soon went out. The first one who rushed into her room nervously was Mrs. Lin.
After her were Lin Wenwen, Yuan Tianxing, and some others. Lin Feng and his wife followed right behind them
Knowing that Lin Qiao was only having a little problem that was waiting to be figured out, the people relaxed a little. Yuan Tianxing didn't know that Lin Qiao was pregnant, but he was still worried about her health. Even though he had given up on pursuing her, he still couldn't help but pay attention to her and care for her. He had loved her for so many years after all. Giving up on her was not easy.
