Chapter 449: What A Naughty Baby
Chapter 449: What A Naughty Baby
Crystal began to get nervous. Although it was Eric’s child, it was part of her, and she wondered if it was a boy or a girl.
Crystal was still lying in bed. The doctor put lubricant gel on the probe and tried to lift her dress.
Nathan coolly snatched the probe. “I’ll do it!”
Crystal lay down and laughed. “You shouldn’t have come at all….”
“Have I lost my temper for no reason?” He asked coldly.
“You didn’t... But I can see you’re trying so hard to hold back.”
Nathan snatched the doctor away and sat down in his chair.
The doctor was told to turn away from the camera and dictate to Nathan how to use the probe.
Fortunately, it was easy. He just used the probe on her lower abdomen. It didn’t require many skills.
“Well, have you seen the baby?”
The computer was behind Crystal’s head. She lay down and couldn’t see it.
Nathan stared sulkily at the screen, silent for a long time.
“Is there something wrong with the baby?”
Crystal was worried and sat up to look at it.
It was a black and white picture. Crystal saw it very clearly. This was not the first time Crystal had seen it, but she was still surprised.
The child already had the embryonic form with thin arms and legs. Crystal could see the outline roughly.
“Doctor, please help me to see how my baby is.”
Hearing Crystal, the doctor carefully averted his eyes onto the computer screen.
“This is the baby’s head, you see,” said the doctor. “This is its hand.”
The baby was sucking its little finger with one hand in its mouth and its other on its stomach.
His belly was round, and his little feet curled up.
“It’s only been half a month. He seems to have grown a lot.”
“Well, from now on, the baby’s going to get bigger and bigger, and it’s going to be clearer and clearer when you come back for the ultrasound.” The doctor smiled. “You lie down and keep taking pictures. I’ll play it back for you.”
Crystal lay down and watched for about ten minutes. She couldn’t bear it anymore. She wanted to see the baby.
The doctor played back the video and explained:
“Look, the baby is moving.”
Crystal saw the baby’s hand on his stomach and moved it to his crotch, blocking the key part.
Even though the baby didn’t know the sex yet, he seemed to know where to put it.
Crystal laughed. “Is he being shy, Doctor?”
“The baby is still too small to have such thinking? He’s just moving around.”
What a naughty baby.
“Is it a girl? She sees Nathan, so she’s shy?”
Crystal’s imagination runs wild.
Nathan’s original sullen face had changed.
He took off his big sunglasses and asked, “Girl?”
“It’s not our girl. Keep cool. Why are you so excited?”
“As long as the baby looks like you, I can tolerate it!”
The doctor digested the conversation.
Wasn’t this gentleman’s child?
This couple was so weird.
Crystal said happily, “Doctor, you haven’t told me if it’s a boy or a girl?”
“Well, I guess it’s a boy.” The doctor coughed.
Crystal gasped. Boy?
Nathan’s face froze again!
The atmosphere in the ward grew stiffer and more murderous.
“Are you sure?”
“Statistically speaking, if the difference between length and width is more than twice, the probability of a male baby is greater, and the probability of a female baby with the same length and width is greater,” the doctor said. “Look at the shape. It’s more likely to be eggplants or long bars for boys and rounders for girls.”
The doctor analyzed it and said, “Now it should be a boy.”
“Should?” Crystal looked at Nathan’s face hesitantly. “Could it be a girl?” she asked.
“Basically, nothing will go wrong with it. It’s very unlikely it’s a girl.”
Crystal understood. The doctor wouldn’t tell them for sure, even if he was 100 percent sure, because he was always afraid of the slightest accident.
But everyone knew that the chance was like winning the lottery.
“Nathan, if he were a boy, he’d look like me. Have you ever heard a boy take after his mother and a girl take after her father?”
Nathan’s face was still cold. He put his sunglasses back on and refused to look at the baby again.
Crystal sighed. “Doctor, can you give me a copy of this video? I want to take it back.”
“Sure...”
Before the doctor finished, Nathan said coldly, “No way.”
“Why? “
“It’s just a lump of meat. There’s nothing to look at.”
“I think he’s cute, and I want to see more of him.” After all, the baby must be given back to Eric when it’s born. She could not accompany him.
Nathan pressed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Crystal suddenly thought, “Why don’t I buy an ultrasound machine? I have nothing to do, doctor. Does regular ultrasound have any effect on the fetus?”
“Ultrasound doesn’t have much effect on the baby, but it’s noise relative to the baby, so doing it too often exposes the baby to a lot of noise. More and more, it will make a difference.”
“Well...” Crystal was disappointed. “How many times can I do that?”
“The whole pregnancy process, three times is appropriate.”
She had done it twice now, and she could only do it once.
Crystal asked. “Doctor, do it longer this time and record it for me.”
“Well, lie down again.”
The doctor gave her another 10 minutes, during which he exclaimed, “Should it be an accident?”
“What’s the matter?”
“His little hands went to his ears.”
Crystal widened her eyes. “Does he feel noisy?”
“It is inconceivable that such a young child should be unconscious,” said the doctor, shaking his head. “It should be a coincidence.”
“Maybe.”
“Or maybe you’ll have a boy genius.” The doctor complimented. “I think the boy is very clever.”
“How do you see he’s clever, Doctor?”
“He has so many little tricks. I see him as clever and mischievous.” The doctor smiled, “Of course, there is no scientific basis for this. It is my guess.” After receiving so much money, he certainly had to speak well of him.
Crystal was amused. She tugged at Nathan’s sleeve. “Did you hear, doc says my baby’s going to be smart and a genius!”
Nathan was as still as a stake.
“Nathan, are you still mad?”
Crystal didn’t understand why he wanted the child to be a girl.
Neither the boy nor the girl was related to Nathan.
Besides, Nathan gave up gastric cancer treatment so that the baby wouldn’t be in front of him for the rest of his life.
“Well, put the probe down.” Crystal arranged her clothes and took the probe from his hand. He held it tightly in his hand for a long time.
Crystal sighed and tugged at his sleeve again. “I told you you shouldn’t have come.”
“Crystal, I warn you,” Nathan finally said. “If you have a childlike Eric...”
“What do you do? Strangle him?”
Nathan slammed the probe down on the table.
“Be careful, Sir.” The doctor picked it up piteously to see if it was broken.
