Chapter 223 I enjoyed my lunch, but Theo did not eat much. He was busy peeling the shrimps for me. Cecilia had no appetite due to the flight, so she sat opposite us and looked at both of us thoughtfully.

After lunch, Cecilia said she was tired and wanted to go hto sleep. Hence, we drove her back to her condominium and gave her the new key as we had changed the lock.

As for why the lock was changed, I told her that I had lost the key, so we changed to a new lock.

Theo, who was sitting in front, gave an unnatural slight cough. It was obvious that the proud and arrogant man was feeling embarrassed for abruptly breaking someone's house lock.

I had a pregnancy check-up in the afternoon, so Theo drove to the hospital.

Today, they would perform the four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound on me. I had no idea why I felt uneasy the moment I entered the hospital. It was probably because I would finally be able to see the baby clearly for the first time.

I lay down on the examination bed. The doctor was doing the check-up very carefully. As tpassed, I got even more anxious.

"Doctor... does my baby have any malformation or birth defects?" Finally, after looking at the doctor's serious expression multiple times, I could not stop myself from asking.

"No. The baby is able-bodied," the doctor answered.

"But..." The moment I let out a sigh of relief, the doctor's 'but' caughtoff guard. My breath was stuck in the back of my throat. I looked at him nervously.

"Don't get nervous. I just think that your baby is developing a little slower than expected. And it's not that active. Usually, a six-month-old baby should be active and have a strong heartbeat. But your baby seems to be deeply asleep, and its heart rate is weaker. Is the fetal movement usually obvious?" "I can feel the baby moving sometimes, but it's seldom. They don't make any big movements. It's my first tgetting pregnant, so I thought it was normal and didn't pay much attention." I could not help but grip the sheets. My heart was twitching so hard.

"Don't worry too much. The baby might just be sleeping right now. Please spare stto cover again." She paused for a moment and continued to say, "But you have to get a good night's sleep and keep yourself i n a pleasant mood. Your emotions will affect the baby's emotions too. This is very important." I nodded my head and did not say anything. I already knew this, which was why I urged Jerto cback here. I was afraid that my emotions would influence the baby.

After the check-up, the doctor gavea colored photo. Although it was not very clear, I was still able to see the features on my baby's face. They had a defined face and bore sresemblance to Theo. They would definitely look like Theo when they grew up.

Just from this blurry photo, I could already feel that the baby would grow up to be good-looking and clever. Yet, the doctor said the baby was not developing well. I was heavy-hearted.

I walked out of the examination room with an upset look.

Theo was sitting on the seat along the corridor. When he saw my odd expression, he stood up and helpedsit down. Then, he entered the room and asked the doctor about the situation.

I was uncertain what the doctor had told Theo but he cout with a gloomy face. He sat beside me. His big hand covered mine as he asked solemnly, "Is there anything you didn't tell me?" I smiled and said, "You're being so serious. What did the doctor tell you? Is it a boy?"

I had not asked the doctor about the baby's gender. It was not that I was not curious about it, but I wanted to keep it a mystery. That way, I would En be surprised when the gender was revealed. Theo was different. He had been hoping that the baby would be a girl.

"... Stop messing around. I'm talking about something serious." Theo looked worried. He was not in the mood to joke He said helplessly, "We're a couple. If there's something on your mind, or if you have a problem with me, you must say it out loud. Don't keep these things in your heart.” I did not say anything. I stood up and walked out.

"Are you listening? No matter what it is, I'll agree as long as you tell me." Theo was still worried. He held m y hands and continued to speak.

I stopped, lifted my head, and stared at him for a while. "Are you really going to agree to anything I say?" He looked down. "You don't believe me?"

"Yes." I was being straightforward and said faintly, "I don't like you fooling around with Cindy. toanith stand both of you seeing each other all the tand I'm sick of her calling you. If I want you to stay away from her and disappear from her life completely, can you do that?" X
