Chapter 495 Physical Examination (2) Teased by Cassius
After breakfast, Cecilia and Alaric were getting ready to head out.
Watching them leave, Emily was fuming inside.
Cecilia always acted like she didn't exist. No matter what kind of mess Emily made, Cecilia handled it like it was nothing.
Emily clenched her teeth. 'I'm not gonna let Cecilia have it easy!'
In the car, Alaric looked super nervous.
Cecilia tried not to laugh and reached out to hold his hand.
Alaric glanced at her, seeing her smile, he felt a bit annoyed. "What's so funny? Your husband has a health issue and you're still smiling?"
"So you admit you have a health issue?" Cecilia teased.
Alaric went quiet.
"Don't worry. With today's medical tech, there's hardly anything that can't be treated. And we can always think about IVF," Cecilia reassured him.
"Cecilia, there's nothing wrong with my health! I can get you pregnant with twins in no time, and if not, we'll have two kids in three years!" Alaric said confidently.
Cecilia was at a loss for words.
But Augustus, usually so serious, couldn't help but laugh at Alaric's words.
Alaric shot him a look.
Augustus quickly straightened up, not daring to laugh anymore.
They arrived at the hospital.
Alaric didn't get out of the car.
Cecilia waited for him outside for a long time.
Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and went to drag Alaric out. "We're at the hospital, you can't back out now."
Alaric looked really reluctant.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, you won't see anyone you know here. I booked the VIP channel yesterday, we won't run into anyone," Cecilia tried to comfort him.
Alaric was still a bit skeptical.
"Come on."
Alaric reluctantly got out of the car.
Cecilia dragged him towards the VIP channel of the hospital.
There were indeed very few people.
And the service was top-notch.
They walked into the elevator.
Just as the elevator was about to close, the doors opened again.
When they saw who it was, both Alaric and Cecilia's eyes widened.
Cassius looked at them, equally surprised. "What are you doing here!"
Alaric gave Cecilia a fierce look, leaving her speechless.
How could they run into Cassius and Lily at such a time?
"We're here for a prenatal checkup," Cassius said directly.
Every time Lily had a prenatal check-up, Hugo insisted that Cassius accompany her.
Anyway, he was just there to bring her, he could sit in the VIP lounge and play games.
But getting up in the morning was always a struggle, especially after being drunk the night before.
"What are you here for?" Cassius asked curiously. "Could it be, you're pregnant too?"
He looked excited as he said this.
Alaric's face grew darker, and he said nothing.
Cassius didn't know what he had done wrong, why Alaric disliked him so much.
Just as he was about to say something else, Lily tugged at his sleeve.
Cassius turned to look at Lily, then followed her gaze to the elevator buttons, which indicated the 7th floor—Urology.
Besides the staff, it was just them in the elevator.
They were going to the 13th floor, Obstetrics and Gynecology.
The only other lit button was clearly where Alaric was headed.
Cassius suddenly burst out laughing.
Even the staff nearby were bewildered by Cassius, thinking he was some kind of fool.
Cassius laughed until he was out of breath.
Luckily, the elevator arrived just in time.
Cecilia and Alaric stepped out.
As the doors closed, they heard Cassius shout, "Alaric, you finally have your day!"
Cecilia was a bit annoyed.
She felt like she could tease Alaric, but no one else had that right.
But she was more rational than Cassius.
She held Alaric's hand. "Don't be mad. He's just an idiot."
Alaric wasn't mad.
If he got mad at Cassius every time, he'd have died of anger long ago.
He was just nervous about the hospital checkup.
He took a deep breath and walked into the doctor's office with Cecilia.
After a series of questions, the doctor smiled and said, "Actually, not getting pregnant for three or four months is quite normal. There are many factors that affect pregnancy. But to be safe, I'll give Mr. Whitaker a routine checkup."
The doctor ordered a bunch of tests.
Cecilia accompanied Alaric through each one.
When it came time to check his sex hormones, Alaric was visibly scared.
He sat in the VIP room, and the nurse came to draw his blood.
Cecilia looked at Alaric's nervous expression, asking, "Are you scared?"
"No."
"Then why are you shaking?" Cecilia asked.
"I'm cold."
"The temperature here is 77 degrees Fahrenheit," the nurse quickly explained.
Alaric was momentarily embarrassed.
Cecilia couldn't help but laugh.
The nurse drew Alaric's blood, causing his face to turn pale.
Cecilia stepped forward and held Alaric's other hand, saying to the nurse, "Please be gentle, he's afraid of pain."
"Okay." The nurse smiled and couldn't help but tease, "Usually it's the husband comforting the wife with these words."
Alaric's face turned from pale to blush.
After finishing drawing the blood, Cecilia helped Alaric cover the spot where the blood was drawn.
"Does it hurt?" Cecilia asked softly.
Alaric seemed to have been through a lot, she always thought he wasn't afraid of anything, but he was actually afraid of needles.
"I had a traumatic experience as a child," Alaric explained.
"What happened?" Cecilia was surprised. "Were you not healthy as a child?"
Alaric shook his head.
In the end, he didn't say anything more.
Cecilia didn't press further.
If he didn't want to tell her, she wouldn't force him.
After all the tests, it was 11 AM.
All the results would be out by 3 PM, and the hospital would send the report to their home, with a professional doctor to explain it, so they were about to leave.
Cassius and Lily seemed to be waiting for them at the VIP elevator door on purpose.
As they walked towards the elevator, Alaric saw Cassius and felt even worse.
"How did it go?" Cassius asked bluntly. "Is everything okay?"
As he said this, he glanced at Alaric's lower body.
Alaric's face turned ashen and asked, "Do you think your dad doesn't monitor you enough!"
"You can't be so mean. I'm just concerned about you!" Cassius was scared as soon as Alaric mentioned Hugo.
"I don't need your concern," Alaric said angrily.
Cassius smiled smugly.
They all walked into the elevator.
"Why is your health not good?" In the elevator, Cassius couldn't help but ask.
Alaric's face turned even darker.
"Look at me, I got my wife pregnant on the first try," Cassius boasted.
"Dashiell did too," Cassius continued.
