Chapter 725 Take Them Out of Me
Iris sat up on the bed beside Jin Liwei. Then she looked at the two men, confused at what they were talking about. "What test results? Liwei's? I want to know what his test results say. Is he really fine?"
"No, not Third Brother's," Wang Yingjie replied. "His test results are all done and my colleague already conveyed it to Third Brother earlier. Don't worry because your man will be just fine after his bruises heal."
"Oh. That's good." Relief flooded her. She had already forgotten that she was feeling frustrated and even wanted to punch something before Wang Yingjie arrived. It was as if it never happened. Now she smiled at Jin Liwei who draped an arm over her shoulders.
Wang Yingjie continued talking. "These are yours, Xiulan. I'm glad that you're awake now because I prefer to tell the results to both of you together."
She frowned, feeling more confused than ever. "Mine?"
Wang Yingjie gave her an apologetic smile. "I took some of your blood while you were unconscious to conduct some tests."
"Why? Is there something wrong with me?" She paused and thought about it. "There must be something wrong with me, right? I've been feeling off lately. And I fainted just now. Second Brother, what are my test results? Please hurry and tell us."
Jin Liwei's arm tightened around her shoulders but she didn't bother with it. Both of them leaned forward to listen to Wang Yingjie announce her test results, whatever they may be. Sensing the weird atmosphere, she began to feel nervous. Was something really wrong with her health? [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces).

"Hmm." Wang Yingjie studied the two of them first. The couple felt too nervous that they missed the mischievous glint in their second brother's eyes before he quickly hid it. "I'll announce the results later."
"Second Brother," Jin Liwei growled.
Wang Yingjie ignored his third brother's dissatisfaction. "Let's do something else first. I'll remove your IV drip now, Xiulan. Then I'll take you to another place in the hospital.""What about my test results?" Iris' curiosity burned, and in turn, worsened her nervousness into full-blown anxiety.
"I'll tell you later," Wang Yingjie said with his neutral doctor's smile.
His smile failed to reassure her at the moment, especially with the way he was acting so mysterious and refusing to announce her test results. It was making her think of the worst-case scenario. Maybe she was terminally ill and was going to die soon?
No!
She had already died once before. She already accepted her tragic fate in her past life, but there was no way that she was going to accept dying so soon in her current life. Leave Jin Liwei and make him a widower? Over her dead body!
Er, that was not the correct expression she wanted to use right now.
In any case, she didn't want to die just yet. She wanted to live a long life this time and enjoy a loving marriage with Jin Liwei and build a happy family together while also pursuing all of her dreams. Big dreams and small dreams, she was going to achieve all of them with Jin Liwei.
After the IV puncture on her hand was patched up, Wang Yingjie led the couple out of their private room. The hospital was big and busy but this special wing ensured privacy for VIPs like them. They arrived at a smaller room that had a familiar machine with a monitor.
"Lay on the examination bed, Xiulan," Wang Yingjie instructed before sanitizing his hands and snapping on a pair of gloves.
Iris glanced at Jin Liwei who somehow calmed down after entering the room and seeing all the equipment inside. He even looked like he already had an idea what was going on. Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said of Iris. Her confusion and anxiety were only growing stronger by the second. Her voice was shrill when she said, "Tell me what's really going on.""Relax, Xiulan," Wang Yingjie said as he tinkered the controls of the machine. "You'll be just fine."
"Love, lie down on the bed," Jin Liwei said next in a gentle voice. "Second Brother is an excellent doctor. We can always trust him. Let's do as he says, alright?"
She opened her mouth to argue but finally relented after seeing her man's expression which oozed with reassurance. "Fine," she muttered before scolding Jin Liwei who moved to help her. "I can get on the bed by myself. Don't move too much or you'll aggravate your injuries!"
Thankfully, he didn't argue and allowed her to get on the bed by herself. He held her hand after she took a lying position on the bed. Both of them watched Wang Yingjie finish preparing.
"Uncover your stomach for me," he instructed.
She obeyed and flinched a little when Wang Yingjie squirted a generous amount of gel on her flat stomach. Good thing that it had been warmed up beforehand. It lessened the uncomfortable feeling as Wang Yingjie used the ultrasound transducer probe to spread the gel all over.
"I'll have to press a little hard," Wang Yingjie told her. "Bear with it for now. It'll be over soon."
She nodded and felt Jin Liwei give her hand a comforting squeeze.
Everyone was silent while Wang Yingjie glided the probe on Iris's abdomen down to her pelvis and clicked on the controls of the ultrasound machine. Iris waited with bated breath.
"Look here," Wang Yingjie said, finally breaking the nerve-wracking silence for Iris. He pointed at what looked like two small beans on the monitor. "You have one, two growths inside, Xiulan."Her eyes widened with dread. "Two?! Are they dangerous? Second Brother, you're a surgeon. Take them out of me!"
Jin Liwei remained quiet and instead waited for his second brother to clearly explain everything.
Wang Yingjie gave another neutral smile. "I don't think you'll want me to take these two out."
"You can't take them out safely? They're that dangerous?" Iris was now starting to freak out.
