Ruyan Liu Doing an Ultrasound

Number One People’s Hospital

Ruyan Liu held onto a black bag. Her eyes darted around. She took careful steps towards the gynecology department when she did not see anyone familiar around her.

Ruyan Liu came for a check-up on the baby today. Since Jiaojiao Liu had to go to school, she could only come alone. She did not want anyone else to know that she was pregnant. Only Jiaojiao Liu knew about her pregnancy.

The doctor at the appointment was a woman in her forties. Her name was Lanjun Zhang. She was a chubby woman who wore a pair of glasses. She was an experienced attendant in the Gynecology Department.

"Doctor Zhang, my stomach has been hurting when I sleep these days," Ruyan Liu said.

Lanjun Zhang touched Ruyan Liu’s belly and said, "This is normal. The baby in your stomach has developed. He is kicking you at night."

A flash of happiness appeared on Ruyan Liu’s face. She said, "You said that the baby is kicking me?"
