    "Aldor picked this flower too, right?" Ste touched the petals and said, "Aldor is so good with flowers.


    Look at how fresh they are."


    Keegan could not hold back anymore, and he eximed, "I bought the flowers!"


    Ste looked at him. "Why did you buy them?"


    "I—" Keegan looked away, as he said, "I saw a little girl selling flowers alone, so I bought all of her


    flowers out of pity."


    ''This scum! He just keeps on lying!'' Ste cursed inwardly.


    Then, she scoffed, "No wonder they''re not fresh at all. They''re all leftovers, huh?"


    Keegan was shocked.


    ''When Aldor is the one buying them, they''re fresh. But, when I buy them, they''re not?''


    Keegan red at the bouquet, plucked a flower petal out of frustration, and got into the car without


    speaking to Ste.


    Ste was amused. His acting skill could be considered convincing when he was around others, but


    when they were alone, he would disy his true emotions all over. To Ste, his acting skills were

    simply terrible.


    The hospital they went to for the prenatal checkup was


    affiliated with Fober University. Most of the people who went there for medical treatment were retired


    cadres and show folk, as the hospital provided good confidentiality.


    Garett''s senior was in charge of Ste''s examination. Ste had been to this hospital before, so the


    doctor was very familiar with her condition.


    Keegan apanied her throughout the entire process. However, he was scrutinizing each of the test


    results.


    Steughed and said, "You''re not even a doctor. Can you understand them?"


    Keegan did not say anything in response. He was probably still angry with what happened in the


    morning.


    Ste pouted and secretly cursed him for being petty.


    During the ultrasound, the doctor looked at the screen and suddenly paused. Then, she frowned and


    carefully observed the baby with a somewhat serious expression.


    Ste felt nervous. She had always dreaded it whenever the doctor''s expression suddenly changed


    during examinations.


    She clutched her shirt tightly and asked in a low voice, "Is everything okay, doctor?"


    The doctor chuckled, "They''re twins."


    Keegan froze.


    Ste could not process what the doctor said at first. "What? ■


    The doctor continued gently, "Your babies were only six


    weeks old during yourst visit, so I couldn’t see them clearly. But, I am sure of it this time."


    She pointed to show Ste and added, "Look over here and here. There are two gestational sacs."


    Ste stared at the doctor''s fingers and carefully observed the screen. She could vaguely see two pea-


    sized things, and her heart pounded wildly.


    "D-D-Doctor, are you sure? Are you sure they''re twins?"


    Ste was so excited that she stuttered.


    The doctor responded with a smile. "Actually, during yourst visit, I wasn''t sure because it wasn''t very


    clear at that time. I was afraid of making the wrong judgment and causing unnecessary excitement for


    you, so I didn''t bring it up-


    "But, I am certain this time. They''re fraternal twins. It''d be wonderful if they were a boy and a girl."


    Ste grabbed Keegan and shook him excitedly. "Keegan Kane, did you hear that? Twins! They''re


    twins! I''m going to give birth to two babies, yet I only have to suffer through pregnancy once! How lucky


    is that?"


    Keegan snapped out of his daze and regained his senses after being shaken by Ste.


    He held Ste''s hand tightly and asked, "Doctor, can her body handle a twin pregnancy? I just looked


    at the test result, and a few indicators are showing more fluctuations than before. Is there any risk with


    a twin pregnancy? If there


    is, can we consider selective reduction?"


    Keegan''s words instantly brought Ste back from her excitement.


    "You''re pretty attentive for remembering the readings from previous reports. Also, you''re the first


    person I''ve met who''d ask about the wife''s condition upon hearing news like this," the doctor said.


    Then, she raised her head and added, "It''s still too soon to think about that. Currently, your wife''s


    condition looks fine, and there''s no need for a reduction.


    "As long as youe for checkups regrly, we''ll provide you with scientific advice based on the


    mother''s health condition during different stages of pregnancy.


    "Generally, nothing will go wrong. But, of course, if any problems ariseter on, we''ll certainly opt for a


    reduction to ensure the mother''s safety. You can rest assured about that."


    Ste heaved a sigh of relief and realized that her palm was wet. She looked down and saw Keegan''s


    hand covered in sweat.


    It turned out that he was more worried than her.
