Wang Tao looked stunned. He actually didn't ask whether to tell Lu Zhan about her pregnancy, because he assumed that Captain Lu must know about this, just as he assumed that Shao Jingque also knew that she was pregnant.

What he asked was whether he should tell Captain Lu about her hospitalization. After all, this would delay her return to Ning City. What if Captain Lu called back and couldn't find her? He would worry for no reason, and it would also affect his recovery.

But Shao Jingque answered so decisively that he nodded obediently and agreed:

"......good."

Shao Jingque tried hard to calm the turbulent waves in his heart at the moment, and quickly came up with a barely credible explanation in his mind, and told Wang Tao:

"Don't tell Lu Zhan about this for now. He's in the critical stage of recovery. If he knows, he might worry that I can't take care of myself and get anxious. I'll tell him in person when he returns to Ning City."

Shao Jingque felt a little sad as he said things that he didn't even believe.

Lu Zhan would not worry about her now. If he knew that she was pregnant, he would probably just think that she was coming up with another "crazy reason" that he had to accept.

She had already forced him to accept her household registration once, and she didn't want to force him a second time with the baby in her belly.

Wang Tao nodded, not quite understanding. After all, this was the family affair of Captain Lu and his wife. Since his sister-in-law had spoken, he should just listen and not get involved.

Shao Jingque looked at the beds on either side, but didn't see Ding Ling, so he asked:

"Where's Ding Lingren? Is she okay?"

Wang Tao nodded:

"It's nothing serious. The doctor checked it out and said it was just a soft tissue contusion of the ankle, no bone damage. He's getting medicine packed at the orthopedic clinic downstairs!"

Knowing that Ding Ling was fine, Shao Jingque was relieved:

"Wang Tao, I don't have anything to do here. If you're free, could you please go to the orthopedics department and help me check on Ding Ling? She sprained her ankle and it must be difficult for her to move around."

Wang Tao agreed without hesitation, not knowing whether Ding Ling's luck was good or bad.

If you say she was lucky, she was targeted by two groups of bad guys in a short period of time and almost lost everything. If you say she was unlucky, she was encountered by him and Shao Jingque both times and was rescued.

Wang Tao went to the orthopedic clinic to find Ding Ling, and Shao Jingque was lying on the hospital bed in a daze.

After being stunned for a moment, she slowly raised a hand and hesitantly touched her still flat belly. There was no strange feeling at all. Was she really pregnant with a child?!

There were other pregnant women in the beds next to her. Seeing her lying there alone, she started talking to her:

"Sister, you are not from Shangdu, right?"

Shao Jingque came back to her senses and saw that the other person was pregnant, and her face naturally revealed a soft glow of maternal love. She had never noticed such an expression before, but now she felt that it was particularly gentle and made people feel close to it.

"No, I'm from Ning City, Jiangsu Province."

The pregnant woman in the next bed nodded in understanding and said with a smile:

"I was saying, you're not from our area at first glance. You're so delicate and pretty, and your voice is as sweet as an oriole. I guess you're from the South."

Shao Jingque felt a little embarrassed by the praise and just smiled.

The girl in the next bed was obviously curious about her, a southern girl, and asked again:

"How many months are you now?"

Shao Jingque was stunned. She had never experienced this kind of conversation between pregnant women. She was a little overwhelmed for a moment. She was thinking about which day to start counting from.

Should it be the day he traveled through time, or the day he sent Lu Zhan off?

The girl in the next bed saw her in a daze and secretly found it funny. When she first got pregnant, she was not much different from this girl. She looked confused no matter what she was asked and didn't feel like a mother yet. But when she got pregnant, she understood everything.

"I see your belly isn't even showing yet, so it shouldn't be three months yet, right?"

Shao Jingque thought about it and nodded.

This is certain. It has not even been three months since she traveled through time, so the baby in her belly is naturally less than three months old.

The words from the bed next to her inadvertently reminded her that she and Lu Zhan had known each other for less than three months, but they had already gone through the process of going from strangers to close friends, and now they were about to become strangers again. It was as if this period of life had been accelerated, making people feel particularly unreal.

Perhaps the only thing that can prove this life experience is the baby in her belly now!

The person in the next bed saw a hint of sadness between her brows from time to time, and asked cautiously:

"So...where are your family members?"

She heard it clearly just now. The young man kept calling the beautiful girl "sister-in-law" and said that he would accompany her back to Ning City. He never mentioned when the girl's family would come.

The daughter-in-law had a miscarriage and was sent to the hospital, but her husband didn't even show up and asked his brother to help. Isn't that a bit too unreasonable?

As a pregnant woman, the woman in the next bed felt a little sorry for the beautiful girl.

Shao Jingque lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, hiding the emotions in her eyes, and replied in a calm manner:

"He's a soldier, on a mission out in the field, and hasn't come back yet."

The person in the next bed suddenly understood and nodded.

It turns out that she is a military family member. Then the young man just now must be her family member's comrade-in-arms. No wonder he looks so righteous.

If she is a military dependent, then we can't really blame her family for being absent.

Everyone knows how hard it is to be a soldier. You are a brick of the revolution, and you have to move wherever you are needed. You cannot be with your family all the time, and it is common to be absent at important moments.

The person in the next bed quickly comforted him:

"Sister, it's not easy for you to be a military dependent. If you have any questions in the future, just come and ask me. I live at No. 12 Guandong Street. Let's visit each other more often."

Shao Jingque knew that she meant well, so she smiled and nodded. Although she knew that they had only met once, she couldn't bear to refuse her kindness in person.

Seeing her nod, the patient in the next bed also became happy. After knowing that she was a military dependent, he became more enthusiastic towards her. Not only did he give her some fruit, he also took her aside to talk about many things that needed to be paid attention to in the early stages of pregnancy.

Shao Jingque originally thought that such a topic would make him feel boring, but he actually listened to it slowly and became more and more serious as he listened.

......

Wang Tao came out of the ward and stood outside the door scratching his head.

He always felt that there was something wrong with his sister-in-law's mood just now, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He hesitated and decided to tell Captain Lu.

But when he thought of his sister-in-law's firm "No" just now, he hesitated again.

He was walking downstairs hesitantly when a loud bell-like voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts from the front of the stairs:

"I was wondering where your baby is. Why are you hanging around here instead of coming to take your shift?"
