Chapter 221 Vivian's Test is Over
"What?!" Vivian suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide open.
A moment later, she couldn't help but chuckle, gently patting Lin Feng's arm and playfully scolding him:
"You're joking! Even though we... we've done *that*, there's still racial segregation between us, how could we possibly have a baby?!"
Lin Feng didn't laugh; he just stared at her intently, his gaze more serious than ever before.
"Whether it's a joke or not, you're a doctor, you can test it yourself and find out."
Seeing the unwavering certainty in his eyes, Vivian pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided that it wouldn't hurt to test him, just to dispel his unrealistic idea.
She got up and walked to a testing device in the corner, attaching the sensors to specific locations on her wrist and abdomen.
With a soft hum, the instrument screen suddenly lit up, and lines of data began to scroll rapidly.
At first, Vivian had a slightly mocking expression on her face, her fingertips tapping the table casually.
But not long after, as the HCG level on the screen soared, the waveform of embryo implantation clearly jumped on the screen, and the red line representing the initial resonance of the life magnetic field was so dazzling that it made her heart tremble.
The color drained from her face at a visible speed, replaced by an increasingly intense shock and helplessness.
"This...how is this possible..." she muttered to herself, her fingers trembling as she repeatedly swiped the screen to confirm the data.
"Abnormally high HCG levels... embryo implantation waveform... preliminary life magnetic field resonance... this... this perfectly matches all the characteristics of early pregnancy..."
She abruptly raised her head, her eyes filled with turbulent emotions as she looked at Lin Feng: "I...I really..."
"It's true." Lin Feng strode forward and tightly grasped her slightly trembling hand. "Our child is right here."
He reached out and placed his hand on her still flat stomach, his eyes gentle yet firm.
The immense shock left Vivian speechless for a moment.
She instinctively covered her abdomen with her hand, feeling that it seemed no different, yet it also seemed completely different.
"A child cannot be without a father," Lin Feng pressed on, "and nurturing life requires the best environment."
"The Tranquil Quadrant has the most advanced medical care, the safest housing, and the most suitable climate."
"I have a large mansion there, with a garden and a sunroom, where you can rest assured during your pregnancy and our child can grow up healthy and happy."
Vivian's eyes wavered violently.
She longed to give her child sunshine and peace, but she also feared that her life would be nothing but waiting from then on.
"Mother" is the new identity she longs for, but if the price is to completely say goodbye to "Dr. Vivian"—the self who earned respect with her own hands and confirmed her existence by saving lives—how should she cope?
"But... Feng," her voice was a little hoarse, "I don't want... I don't want to just stay at home and be a full-time housewife."
"I'm used to being busy, used to helping others. Working in the medical field makes me feel alive and that my life has meaning."
Lin Feng immediately responded, explaining that this was a plan he had already devised:
"I understand, Vivian. I never intended to break your wings."
"In the Anning quadrant, I can get you a job as a doctor, or even open a private clinic for you. I'll take care of the location, equipment, and qualifications."
"You are still Dr. Vivian, and you can continue to use your medical skills to help those in need."
"It's just that the environment has changed from a deep prison to a more peaceful and wider world."
"You can have a career, and at the same time take better care of yourself and our children."
This suggestion was like a key, precisely unlocking the lock in Vivian's heart.
She can continue her beloved career, give her child and Lin Feng a complete family, and explore a whole new world...
The ice of hesitation began to melt rapidly.
Her gaze shifted between Lin Feng's sincere face and the imagined tranquility of his home, clinic, and family.
Finally, Vivian took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and the confusion in her eyes was replaced by a gentle firmness.
"Okay, Feng," she gently squeezed his hand back, a smile returning to her face, this time radiating maternal warmth and anticipation for the future.
"I'll go back with you. For the sake of the children, and for... us."
A huge weight lifted from Lin Feng's heart, and immense joy welled up within him.
He couldn't help but lean down and hug her tightly. "That's wonderful, Vivian! Thank you!"
However, this joy lasted only a few seconds.
Lin Feng knew that the real test was only just beginning.
He had to confess the most difficult part.
He loosened his embrace, but still held her hand, his expression turning serious again, even tinged with guilt.
"Vivian, there's one more thing... I must confess to you."
Vivian looked at him suspiciously: "What is it?"
Lin Feng's throat tightened, but he forced himself to look directly into her eyes:
"During this mission... Leng Meng and I... feelings also developed between us."
"And, due to some very special circumstances, she also... became pregnant with my child."
Vivian's smile froze instantly.
Time seemed to stand still in the space of deduction.
After a long silence, Vivian blinked: "You...and Warden Leng? You're in love? And...you have a child?"
Lin Feng nodded with difficulty: "Yes. I know it sounds... ridiculous, but I can't hide it from you."
Vivian remained silent.
Her expression shifted from shock to confusion, and then to a strange sense of realization.
She didn't immediately show anger or sadness, but instead looked Lin Feng up and down with an almost academic gaze.
Then, she suddenly burst out laughing, though the laughter was very soft and even carried a hint of helplessness.
"Lin Feng, oh Lin Feng," she shook her head, a mischievous glint in her lake-blue eyes, "what kind of constitution do you have?"
"A humanoid self-propelled sniper rifle?"
"Or is it that your genes have the '100% accuracy' trait written into them?"
"How did we both get pregnant in such a short time?!"
She touched her lower abdomen, then imagined the curve that the cold and powerful warden might also have, her expression quite subtle.
Lin Feng's forehead instantly creased with three clear black lines. Vivian's reaction was completely unexpected. She didn't cry or make a fuss, nor did she question him. Instead, she started joking.
Vivian laughed for a while, then gradually stopped, but her eyes remained gentle, even with a hint of relief.
"But... thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem so strange."
"You are so outstanding and resilient, always able to create miracles in desperate situations, and you always unconsciously take care of the people around you..."
"The fact that you can make both a woman like Warden Leng Meng... well, fall for you at the same time seems to prove your charm, right?"
As she spoke, her face flushed slightly, but her tone was accepting.
Lin Feng could hardly believe his ears. The tension in his heart suddenly eased, and he almost cried tears of joy.
He nodded quickly: "Vivian, I..."
"But!" Vivian interrupted him, extending a finger and gently tapping his chest, her tone becoming serious.
"You have to promise me that when we go back, you won't neglect me and the baby just because Leng Meng is stronger or needs more care."
"You must spend every minute of your time with me; our child also needs the same love from his father."
"Of course! I promise!" Lin Feng immediately grabbed her hand and solemnly promised, "You and the child are the most important people to me, and I will never favor one over the other!"
Vivian wrinkled her nose slightly and made a "click" sound in front of his eyes with two fingers:
"Hmph, if you dare to show favoritism, then... I wouldn't mind personally giving you a complete 'sterilization optimization'."
Lin Feng felt a tightening in his lower abdomen and instinctively pressed his legs together, stammering, "No, no! Absolutely not!"
Vivian then smiled with satisfaction, her eyebrows curving upwards, and reached out to take his arm.
"Since things have come to this, let's go find Leng Meng together."
