Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s-Chapter 1604 - 1606: Unable to Show One’s Face

Ge Liutao was sent to the hospital.

Because none of them were doctors, and they were all extremely worried about her health.

However, after arriving at the hospital, the test results left everyone in an awkward silence.

"This lady doesn’t have any major issues—she’s just pregnant,"

the doctor said.

Ge Liutao and Chiang Songhai exchanged a glance, and then their faces turned beet red.

Chiang Songhai stammeringly said to the doctor, "D-doc-tor, c-can you check again? Maybe the test results are w-wrong?"

The doctor frowned, "This isn’t exactly rocket science. I’ve been a doctor for seven or eight years; I’m not likely to get something as straightforward as pregnancy wrong!" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Ge Liutao lowered her head and nervously clenched the hem of her shirt, her face burning so hot she couldn’t bring herself to look at anyone!

How old was she now?

She still managed to get pregnant!

This was like an old clam producing a pearl—it would be the talk of the town for sure!

And worse yet, she was informed in front of her granddaughter’s husband and his teammates!

Goodness gracious, she really didn’t have the face to meet anyone anymore!

In that moment, Ge Liutao wanted nothing more than to dig a hole and crawl right into it.

Chiang Songhai was equally embarrassed beyond measure.

"But—at this age, how is it even p-possible to get pregnant..."

"What’s wrong with this age?" The doctor shot him a glance and said, "There are plenty of women in their forties who get pregnant. By the way, I didn’t get your wife’s age earlier—how old is she?"

This question...

Ge Liutao’s head was hanging so low it was almost touching the floor; she was far too mortified to respond.

Chiang Songhai was also flushed as he stammered and found himself unable to speak.

He was fifty-seven years old, and Ge Liutao was three years younger—certainly not in her forties as the doctor had assumed.

Moreover, after giving birth to Chiang Qingzhu, Ge Liutao’s health had been frail and fragile ever since, leaving her unable to conceive again. They had long since come to terms with the fact that they wouldn’t have any more children in this lifetime, and one Chiang Qingzhu was a blessing they had settled for. Who would have thought that, now in their fifties...

There would still be a child!

This was nothing short of a shock for them!

"What’s with you two? You’re too embarrassed to even answer?" The doctor sounded a bit annoyed.

Meng Xinian, who had been frozen in surprise until now, finally snapped back to his senses and hurried forward to speak to the doctor. "I’m sorry, please give them some time to process."

As he spoke, he reached out to support Ge Liutao.

Chiang Songhai quickly took hold of her other hand.

Once they left the hospital and returned home, Chu Liang had already cleaned the house meticulously.

Seeing them return, Chu Liang was understandably worried and hurried up to ask, "How did it go? What did the doctor say? It’s nothing serious, right? Chiang Xiao called twice just now—she’s super anxious. If it’s nothing major, I should give her a call back."

"Don’t call!"

"Don’t return her call!"

Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao practically shouted in unison as if jolted by electricity.

Both of their faces were red, and they were so flustered they didn’t know where to put their hands.

"Huh?" Chu Liang was dumbfounded.

What was this about?

He looked toward Meng Xinian for help, only to find even Meng Xinian looking slightly uncomfortable.

Cheng Cheng had wisely stayed behind and not followed them back to the Chiang household; otherwise, the situation would’ve been even more awkward for the Elders of the Chiang family.

But even without a call from them, it was certain that Chiang Xiao would keep calling back.

Ring ring ring.

The phone began to ring again.

Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao had no idea what to do.

This, this, this—if Chiang Xiao found out, what kind of reaction would she even have?

Besides, their minds were still reeling—they hadn’t yet fully returned to reality and couldn’t shake off the feeling that this whole thing was surreal.

"Great Officer Meng?" Chu Liang looked over at Meng Xinian.

Someone needed to answer the phone, after all.
