After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1221 - 1220: Due Date

Huo Shiqian let out a quiet sigh in his heart, pondering: Alright, although the writer of that anonymous letter remains unidentified.

One shouldn't stop eating just because they're afraid of choking.

Provided his wife stays content, he's ready to invest some additional work.

Due to the anonymous letter matter, Huo Shiqian kept everything concealed from Xia Chuyi.

Xia Chuyi had no idea that a mere hint of plotting had led Huo Shiqian to consider all these things.

Thus, in the ensuing days, Xia Chuyi started frequenting 'Youwei' with a buoyant and cheerful spirit.

On Huo Shiqian's end, the investigation dragged on like hunting for a needle in a haystack.

Regrettably, the anonymous letter's author appeared to know Huo Shiqian's capabilities well, leaving zero traces right from the start.

Based solely on a single letter—one they hadn't even laid eyes on—pinpointing the culprit proved immensely challenging for even Huo Shiqian, akin to climbing to the heavens.

Yet, a lead existed regarding the letter thief.

Sadly, post-theft, that individual slipped southward in secrecy and sneaked off to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong hadn't been handed back to China at that moment.

Hence, upon arrival there, Huo Shiqian struggled to make any moves.

Should he attempt involvement, he'd have to send agents gradually and chase leads step by step.

Luckily, no further oddities occurred around them in those days.

As such, Huo Shiqian felt a bit more at ease.

Time flew by swiftly amid the wait for updates.

In this tranquil stretch, Xia Chuyi's pregnancy advanced steadily.

Before they knew it, her delivery date loomed near.

With the due date drawing closer, Xia Chuyi brimmed with thrill and eagerness, yet fresh worries began to surface.

Regarding the prior toxin problem, despite the medicinal meals, could the Heavenly Book Recipe truly succeed?

What if it didn't?

What if the baby ended up with mental impairments?

Would she cause lifelong damage to the child?

Noticing her anxieties, Huo Shiqian, via Doctor Guo, summoned a top-tier obstetrics specialist to examine the baby.

The checkup concluded.

'It's genuinely miraculous; Doctor Guo filled me in on your case.' The obstetrics expert marveled, 'The odds of toxin impact on the fetus were extremely high at first...'

'Yet now, you've hit that rare one-in-a-thousand shot at perfect health!'

'What a miracle, an absolute miracle!' The expert declared with great reassurance, 'Barring surprises, expect a robust infant...'

'Boy or girl...' Here, the obstetrics expert grinned, 'You've chosen to keep the gender secret for that future delight.'

'So, no revealing the baby's sex.' The expert beamed, 'Either way, everything's fine—congrats to you both.'

Hearing this, accompanying Mrs. Ou overflowed with joy, tears streaming uncontrollably.

'Excellent, splendid, this is fantastic!' Having braced for child issues, Mrs. Ou wept happily, exclaiming, 'Thank you, doctor, so much!'

Post-gratitude to the doctor, Mrs. Ou promptly added, 'Buddha's grace—Chuyi's little one is safe and sound!'

Mrs. Ou clasped her hands involuntarily, shut her eyes, and whispered, 'I'll head to the temple soon to honor my pledge! I swear I will!'
