Chapter 552
She walked into the instrument room and saw two female doctors inspecting the equipment inside. She greeted them politely. “Would you mind if I use this place for half an hour? I want to observe Caleb Harper’s chest image
They smiled and said, “Sure” Then, they left respectfully.
Facing the strong, the weak would always feel reverence. This rule was always true no matter what industry one was in. In the medical world, Linda Granger’s name was an existence that all doctors could only look up to in admiration.
After watching the two of them leave, Sophia walked to a machine, turned the monitor around, and slowly lay down on the bed. She lifted the shirt on her abdomen and slid it back and forth with the scanner. A clear image of her uterus was displayed on the screen.
If the fertilized egg was successfully implanted, it would only show a tiny spot and be hard to discern in the monochrome image. She searched for a while but could not find any sign of the embryo. So did it fail? Or perhaps the time is not enough yet. She hoped it was the latter. If it was the former, it meant that she would have to wait another month and sleep with him again.
Suddenly, while she was in a daze, she heard the sound of the doorknob twisting, instantly pulling her wandering thoughts back.
Before she could do anything, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside and a tall figure walked in. It was Jason.
Sophia was so frightened that her hand trembled. The instrument in her palm fell off and slid down the edge of the bed, hitting the floor with a thud.
Jason looked at her exposed waist and was slightly stunned. The sound of the equipment hitting the ground instantly woke him up. His expression changed as he strode towards the bed. “Are you doing a CT scan? Is there something wrong with your body?”
After the fleeting panic, Sophia quickly calmed down. She ignored him and arched her body slightly, trying to lower the shirt.
Jason rushed to her immediately and reached out to grab her wrist to stop her. “Answer me, is there something wrong with your body?”
He stared at her flat stomach as he asked the question. Seven years ago, she had had one of her fallopian tubes removed because of an ectopic pregnancy. Her body had never recovered, but she had gotten pregnant unexpectedly five years ago, what’s worse, with twins. He couldn’t imagine how vulnerable her uterus was now. He hadn’t been paying attention to this for the past few days, but now that he saw her secretly examining herself alone, his heart was rending
Seeing that she was still silent, Jason frowned and asked in a low voice,
“Is there
a problem with your uterus?”
There was still lubricant on her abdomen, which should have been left behind
d by the
the scanner just now.
Sophia looked at him with blank eyes and said expressionlessly. “It has nothing to do with you.” With that, she began to struggle with all her might. “Let go.”
But Jason didn’t trust her every single word. Fivey
years ago, he witnessed how she had fallen ill and then used lies to deceive him.
If he had been more cautious back then and forced her to do a full–body checkup when she spat out blood, he wouldn’t have been fooled around by her. “You’re not going to tell me? Alright, I’ll call Derick and ask him to give you a full checkup,”
Sophia was shocked when she heard that. She had only scanned her body roughly and did not find any signs of successful fertilization. If Derick came here to examine her carefully and she was already successfully pregnant, she would be exposed. I can’t. I can’t let him know my purpose!
“I’m afraid of getting cervical cancer, so I check myself regularly. Are you satisfied?”
“Satisfied? Of course, not. He could hear the lies in her words. The more she lied, the more he felt that there was more behind it.
Thinking of this, he held her wrists with one hand and took out his phone to call Derick. “I don’t believe you. You’re definitely going to do a full body checkup today.”
