Yue Linze was finally satisfied, gently patting her back to soothe her until they entered the hospital, handing Tao Yu over to the nurse for a blood test. Only then did his tension show on his face.
The housekeeper, seeing his restless state, couldn’t help but say: “Sir, you seem more worried than Madam. Try to relax a bit.” He had been in the passenger seat during their conversation, and the master had been so calm before, so why was he suddenly so nervous?
Yue Linze stiffly responded, but when Tao Yu came out, he was like a different person, with no trace of previous nervousness: “How did it go?”
“We’ll have to wait a bit for the results. Let’s wait over there,” Tao Yu held his hand, then noticed his palm was full of sweat. She paused but pretended not to notice, pulling him to sit down.
During the wait, no one spoke. Tao Yu’s fingertips traced lines in Yue Linze’s palm, constantly distracting him. Yue Linze’s eyes held a smile, and his nervousness instantly dissipated.
After a while, the housekeeper hurriedly approached: “Sir, Madam, the doctor wants to see you both.”
Tao Yu was about to stand, but Yue Linze pulled her back. The housekeeper, seeing Yue Linze’s expression, quickly walked away, leaving space for the two of them.
“I was planning to give this to you in a few days, but to avoid you overthinking, I’ve decided to give it to you now,” Yue Linze said, pulling out a brooch from his pocket, looking at her nervously.
Tao Yu was stunned when she saw the brooch, then laughed: “There’s no listening device on this, right?” It was the brooch he had given her in the first world.
“This was my mother’s keepsake,” Yue Linze said seriously.
Tao Yu stiffened, then apologized after a while: “Sorry, I shouldn’t have joked about this.”
“I’m giving this to you now to tell you that nothing will change between us, whether we have a child or not. You know, growing old together isn’t difficult for us, right?” Yue Linze’s expression was calm, but his eyes were red.
