Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby! Chapter 54: Not One! Two Heartbeats!

Dean Wu arrived quickly, almost jogging as Political Commissioner Chen "invited" him over.

He carried a brand new leather case in his hand, his expression sowhat displeased.

"Commandant, what’s so urgent?"

"I have a surgery waiting on my end!"

The commandant pointed to Lin Wan Yi on the hospital bed.

"Less nonsense! I’m giving you a level one mission!"

"Use your best equipnt to perform the most comprehensive and thorough examination on our military district’s gem!"

Dean Wu opened the leather case, taking out a stethoscope that looked exceptionally precise.

"This was just shipped from Germany, the only one in our district, the ink sll from the manual hasn’t even dispersed!"

He muttered a bit, but still approached the bed.

"Comrade Xiao Lin, relax."

The room quieted down completely.

Wang Xiu’e, Sister Zhou, Gu Lan, and a group of military wives held their breath.

Gu Yanshen stood like a statue by the bedside, unmoving, his eyes fixed intently on every move Dean Wu made.

Dean Wu placed the cold stethoscope probe gently on Lin Wan Yi’s flat abdon.

He closed his eyes, listening attentively.

A few seconds later, he opened his eyes; his expression remained unchanged.

"Hmm, the fetal heartbeat is stable and healthy."

Wang Xiu’e just let out a sigh of relief, ready to smile.

But Dean Wu’s brows suddenly knitted into a knot without any warning.

Their previous ease had vanished, replaced by utmost concentration and puzzlent.

He removed the stethoscope, blew into the earpiece, then repositioned the probe.

Ti ticked by second by second.

Dean Wu’s expression grew increasingly grave.

The air in the room felt frozen, suffocating everyone present.

Wang Xiu’e’s smile stiffened, and her heart leaped back into her throat.

Gu Lan also stopped fooling around, nervously clutching Lin Wan Yi’s hand.

Finally, Dean Wu lifted his head.

He looked at Lin Wan Yi, then shot a glance at Gu Yanshen, with an expression so complex it was unreadable.

"Sothing’s not right."

He uttered three words.

Gu Yanshen’s tall fra shook violently.

He took a hurried step forward, his uninjured hand clenched tightly, his voice trembling with a fear he himself was unaware of.

"Dean Wu, is there sothing... wrong with the baby?!"

Wang Xiu’e’s face turned pale as paper; she gripped Sister Zhou’s arm, her nails nearly digging into the flesh.

"Old Wu, don’t scare ! What’s going on?!"

The commandant’s expression turned serious too, staring at Dean Wu, waiting for his follow-up.

Dean Wu did not answer them.

His gaze flickered like a searchlight between Lin Wan Yi and Gu Yanshen.

That look wasn’t like examining a patient but rather observing so rare species.

He took a deep breath, picked up the stethoscope again, almost pressing it against Lin Wan Yi’s abdon.

This ti, he listened for a full minute.

When he removed the stethoscope again, his expression had shifted from solemn to complete shock.

He pointed at Lin Wan Yi, then at Gu Yanshen, his lips quivering, taking a mont before squeezing out a sentence.

"It’s not just one!"

A loud "buzz" went off in Gu Yanshen’s mind, leaving it blank.

Not just one? What does that an?

Could it be... the baby is gone?

His face turned ashen instantly.

Wang Xiu’e’s legs went weak, almost collapsing to the ground, luckily supported by Sister Zhou.

"Old Wu, make it clear! What do you an by not just one!"

Under everyone’s uncertain gaze, Dean Wu, as if using all his strength, shouted word by word.

"I hear two!"

"Two distinct, strong, and vigorous heartbeats with completely different rhythms!"

He turned sharply to the stunned Gu Yanshen, his voice rising several octaves in excitent.

"Congratulations, Mr. Gu!"

"It’s twins!"

Boom!

As if a thunderstorm exploded in the small ward.

Ti halted for three seconds.

"Haha! Hahaha!"

The commandant slapped his thigh, erupting in a deafening laughter.

He rushed forward, giving the petrified Gu Yanshen a slap on the back.

"Good lad! You rascal! You’re sothing else! Hahaha!"

"Oh my gosh! Twins! Our Wanwan is having twins!"

Wang Xiu’e realized, so excited she cried and laughed, hugging Sister Zhou and jumping like a child.

"Ah—!"

The sharpest scream ca from Gu Lan.

She dashed to the bedside like a little cannonball, grasping Lin Wan Yi’s hand, too excited for coherent speech.

"Wanwan! My dear Wanwan! Are you an immortal? Twins! My mother would go crazy with joy knowing this!"

A group of military wives buzzed with excitent.

"What a trendous blessing!"

"It’s been years since twins were born in our district!"

"Mr. Gu is really sothing!"

The entire room was subrged in overwhelming joy and clamor.

Only the two people at the center of the storm reacted unusually.

After the initial shock, Lin Wan Yi reached out, gently placing her hand on her abdon.

Here, there were two little lives.

An indescribable warmth enveloped her, and her eyes slowly reddened.

Gu Yanshen, on the other hand, remained in that petrified stance.

His six-foot-three fra froze on the spot, eyes wide like saucers, mouth slightly agape, completely losing speech and movent.

Dean Wu, practicing dicine for decades, had never seen the "living Yama" looking so dumbfound and couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Mr. Gu, snap out of it! This is an occasion for double happiness, a colossal blessing!"

Lin Wan Yi, seeing his foolish look, felt both angry and amused, waving her hand in front of his eyes.

"Gu Yanshen?"

Like soone hit a reset button, the man snapped back to reality.

He neither laughed nor looked at anyone else.

His first reaction was to rush like a whirlwind to Dean Wu, grabbing his arm.

His grip was astonishingly strong, with an undeniable urgency and tension in his eyes.

"Doctor!"

"Are twins risky for my wife’s health?!"

"Will she be okay?!"

This question brought all the joyful and celebratory noise in the room to a halt.

Everyone just realized, in this era, having twins ant double the hardship and risk for the mother.

Dean Wu’s expression turned solemn.

"There are certainly risks; her nutrition must be doubled! Subsequent check-ups are not to be missed! She absolutely cannot be overworked!"

Wang Xiu’e’s smile froze on her face, reaching out to touch Lin Wan Yi’s belly, but withdrew as if fearing she’d break sothing.

The commandant’s exuberance subdued as well, staring at Gu Yanshen with unprecedented seriousness.

"Did you hear that, Gu Yanshen!"

"From now on, you have only one task!"

"Take care of your troops and look after your wife and the two little ones in her belly!"

"Yes! I guarantee to complete the mission!" Gu Yanshen stood tall and straight, his voice sonorous.
