Chapter 183 Not His Biological Child

They talked back and forth, their faces full of pride and joy.

They didn't even notice that a small, thin figure was tiptoeing up behind them.

Shen Zhongshun squatted down beside the stool, quickly crumpled the paper into his palm, and turned to leave.

He only slowed down slightly when he reached Shen Cuifen.

Shen Cuifen stood by the wall, her eyes scanning her surroundings warily.

She immediately understood when she saw Shen Zhongshun approaching.

Looking around to make sure no one was paying attention, he quickly reached out and took the paper.

Just then, a series of urgent shouts came from behind.

"Kesheng, come quick! Why does this child have double eyelids?"

Zhang's mother held the swaddled baby, her brows furrowed.

Zhang Kesheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

He himself has single eyelids, and so does Xiaohong.

In my family, from top to bottom, for eight generations, not a single person has ever had double eyelids.

This child...

How could it be double eyelids?

The more he thought about it, the more strange it seemed. He took the child from his mother's arms and squinted to examine him closely.

The baby's face was still wrinkled, and its eyes were squinted into slits.

But just above those narrow slits of the eyes, there was indeed a faint crease.

He stared at it for several seconds, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Then he looked up and his gaze involuntarily turned to Xiao Hong in the ward.

"That's impossible!"

Zhang Kesheng shook his head violently, his voice suddenly rising.

“I spend so much money on her every month, feeding her the best nutritional supplements and dressing her in the most expensive clothes! How could she possibly go out and find someone else behind my back? Who else could she rely on if not me?”

Although Yang Xiaohong came from the countryside, she was gentle and spoke softly.

The way she looked at him was always filled with admiration and affection.

How could she dare to betray him like that?

"Don't overthink it, Mom."

He tried to remain calm and lowered his voice.

"Newborns are all like this; their eyelids haven't fully developed yet. It's not too late to check in a few days. Or, should I ask the doctor later?"

He said that, but then he pulled the child closer to his face.

The baby remained asleep peacefully, its little mouth moving slightly.

The crease on the eyelid was even more clearly visible under the light.

Zhang's mother originally wanted to agree with her son.

But seeing those eyelids only deepened the doubts in my heart.

But she didn't want to make a scene in public, so she could only bite her lip and force a smile.

"That's right! Do you remember? When your second brother was first born, he also had single eyelids, and his eyes were swollen like walnuts. But what happened later? He started to have double eyelids when he was four or five months old, and now he has double eyelids, doesn't he?"

"This kid must be just like his second uncle! Heredity can skip generations. Maybe our Zhang family has had the gene for double eyelids for generations, and it just happened to come out this time!"

That's what she said, but the smile on her face was very stiff.

Zhang Kesheng breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Neither of them spoke again, and they silently walked to the bench in the back row and sat down.

Shen Cuifen almost burst out laughing after hearing this conversation.

She has lived for over fifty years and has delivered countless babies.

I've never heard of two parents with single eyelids having a child with double eyelids.

If this gets out, won't it cause an uproar?

She was overjoyed and wanted to take a few more steps forward to hear more of his story.

But when I looked up, I suddenly caught a glimpse of the nurse rushing back from the stairwell.

"Oh my god! How can these people be so unruly!"

Shen Cuifen's heart tightened, and she immediately realized that she was standing too conspicuously.

She quickly tugged at Shen Zhongshun's sleeve, her voice extremely low.

"Go! Go quickly! Don't let anyone see us!"

Shen Zhongshun also realized what was happening and quickly followed her to the corner of the corridor.

The nurse ran back to the maternity ward waiting area and immediately spotted two people sitting on that bench.

It was Zhang Kesheng and his mother.

She immediately became anxious, raising her voice eight octaves.

"Hey! Why did you sit down like that?! There was a cushion on that stool! I just put it there! Get up! Let me see if you've gotten it dirty!"

She shouted as she rushed over in two strides.

Zhang Kesheng was preoccupied with his own thoughts, and the noise annoyed him so much that he frowned and replied.

"Where is the paper? I clearly checked when I sat down, it was clean, there was nothing there!"

Despite saying that, he still stood up with his mother.

The nurse looked down and saw that there was really nothing there.

She looked down at her feet again.

No matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find the piece of paper.

But so be it, I can just get a replacement.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

After all, this kind of thing has happened before.

Instead of just sitting here anxiously, we might as well hurry up and order another one.

Don't delay the prenatal care process.

She turned around, grabbed a new one, and handed it to Zhang Kesheng.

"Could you please sign your name again?"

Although Zhang Kesheng was impatient, this concerned his own child, so he dared not be careless and signed the document immediately.

"Huh? Didn't I just sign it?"

He frowned, looked up at the nurse, and his eyes held a hint of suspicion.

The nurse's eyes darted around, and her tone became a little stiff.

"Oh... I filled out the wrong form just now, please sign it again."

Although Zhang Kesheng felt something was amiss, he thought that with so many people and so many things to do in a hospital, it was normal for mistakes to happen occasionally.

So he signed it again and casually stuffed the paper back into the nurse's hand.

The nurse took the paper and turned to go into the delivery room.

"Wait!"

Zhang Kesheng suddenly called out to her.

The nurse stopped immediately upon hearing the sound, her body stiffening slightly.

"Doctor, I have a question. Is it really possible for two people with single eyelids to have a child with double eyelids?"

Zhang Kesheng took two steps forward, his tone tinged with a hint of probing.

The delivery room was bustling with activity, like a battleground, with several women in labor calling out that they were about to give birth.

The nurse answered without even turning her head.

"Impossible! Two single eyelids can't possibly grow into double eyelids!"

The moment the words left her mouth, she froze completely.

Zhang's mother, who had been happily playing with the child in her arms, froze instantly upon hearing these words.

She suddenly looked up and stared at the nurse's back.

Zhang Kesheng's pupils contracted, and he froze on the spot.

"However, this is rare. You should ask your doctor for details."

The nurse realized she had let something slip and quickly tried to cover it up.

After saying this, she quickly pushed open the door to the delivery room.

I walked quickly to Yang Xiaohong's bedside, and my heart sank.

Oh no, I've really messed up.

Yang Xiaohong was still breathing weakly in her hospital bed.

What truly made the nurse's heart race was the baby information card hanging above the bed.

The newborn's father's name was clearly written on it.

Zhang Kesheng.

But she knew that he was not the child's biological father at all.

She swallowed hard and moved closer to the head nurse.

"Sis, I have a question. Can two parents with single eyelids have a child with double eyelids?"

There were still several women in the delivery room who hadn't recovered from childbirth.

The head nurse had just sat down and taken a couple of sips of water when she heard the question and remained silent for a few seconds.

"Theoretically, the probability is very low, but it's not absolutely impossible."

After a long pause, she said in a low voice.

The nurse then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
