Chapter 372 Unexpected Pregnancy Checkup
Jessica said, "I can give you the gift, but not now. I'll give it to you after the funeral."
Chelsea immediately wiped her tears and asked, "Do you promise?"
"Of course," Jessica nodded.
After comforting Chelsea until she calmed down, Jessica finally returned home.
Having stayed up all night, she was indeed extremely tired.
After having breakfast, Jessica went straight to bed and slept deeply.
Fortunately, she had a good sleep, and when she woke up, she felt much more refreshed.
She didn't attend Rolf's funeral because of her pregnancy.
It wasn't until the funeral was over that Gabriel returned home, accompanied by Chelsea.
In just two days, Chelsea had lost a lot of weight and looked much older, her face also appeared particularly haggard.
She had lost her closest person, and after several sleepless nights, her body couldn't take it anymore.
So Jessica felt especially sorry for her.
She stepped forward and took Chelsea's hand. "I know you must be very sad right now and can't get out of this grief. I felt the same way when my grandfather passed away."
"But now, I understand one thing. Leaving might be easy, but it's the ones left behind who have the hardest time because they have to live on with the wishes of those who have passed."
"So Chelsea, I believe you will live well and live a wonderful life."
With that, Jessica took out her phone.
She sent a file to Chelsea via Facebook.
"I know you're curious about what Mr. Haugen said to me that day. This is a recording of our conversation. You listen to it when you want."
Chelsea looked up in surprise. "Really? You recorded it?"
"Yes," Jessica nodded.
At this moment, Charlotte walked over and said with a smile, "Mrs. Walton, I've prepared everything you asked for."
"Thank you, Charlotte."
Saying this, Jessica led Chelsea to the dining table.
On the table were two exquisite crystal bowls filled with nutritious food.
Jessica picked up one bowl and placed it in front of Chelsea. "I know you haven't been eating or sleeping well lately, and you look very haggard. Eat something and don't think about anything else. Then go home and get a good sleep."
"Thank you, Jessica," Chelsea said, feeling touched.
It wasn't until Chelsea left that Jessica turned her attention to Gabriel.
Because he had been ignored for a long time, Gabriel was feeling jealous.
He walked over, looked at the bird's nest on the table, and tentatively asked, "Did Charlotte only prepare two bowls of it?"
Jessica stuck out her tongue a bit embarrassedly. "Yes, I was afraid it would go to waste."
Gabriel silently sat down in his chair.
Then, he sighed deeply, "It seems I have no status anymore. I don't even get a chance to taste a bowl of nutritious food."
Knowing he was jealous, Jessica immediately walked over, pinched his cheek, and coaxed him.
"Alright, don't be mad. You won't look handsome if you're angry!"
Hearing this, Gabriel felt even more upset instead of better.
Looking at Jessica's belly, he deliberately said, "Babies, you see, your mom didn't think of me, so I'm upset."
"And your mom is too perfunctory, not sincere at all."
Seeing his pouty face, Jessica couldn't help but laugh.
She explained, "I didn't expect you to come back with Chelsea, so I gave your portion to her."
"She looked so haggard, and I felt sorry for her. Now I just hope she can get over Mr. Haugen's passing soon and return to normal life."
"Babies, after hearing your mom's explanation, I'm not mad anymore," Gabriel said.
Successfully diverting her attention, Jessica's gaze fell on her belly.
Suddenly, she patted her head and said hurriedly, "Oh right, tomorrow is the prenatal checkup. I almost forgot."
"I'll go with you," Gabriel immediately took her hand and said.
Jessica smiled and refused. "No need. Knowing you care is enough for me."
"You've been busy with Mr. Haugen's funeral these past few days, and I'm sure work at the Walton Group has piled up. If you accompany me for another day, you'll have to work non-stop for the next days."
"I don't want you to work overtime just because of one checkup. Charlotte said she would go with me."
Gabriel gently stroked her hair. "Jessica, you're becoming more considerate."
"But I feel bad that I can't help you much during your pregnancy."
Jessica leaned her head on his chest. "It's okay. Your company is the best gift for me."
She had been through so much.
Being able to stay by his side, Jessica felt it was already a great happiness.
The next day, Jessica went to the hospital with Charlotte.
The obstetrics and gynecology department was indeed crowded.
Jessica and Charlotte arrived a little after seven, but there was still a long line.
Fortunately, the hospital staff did have some privileges, for example, no need to queue.
So Jessica went in very soon.
Today's prenatal checkup was quick, and the doctor said everything was going smoothly.
When they came out, Charlotte excitedly counted on her fingers. "32 weeks, it usually takes 40 weeks for delivery, so that means in about two months, we'll get to meet the babies?"
Jessica smiled and replied, "Yes, according to the normal delivery time, but I'm carrying twins, so it won't reach 40 weeks. Even reaching 37 weeks is difficult."
"Charlotte, my wish is simple. As long as they are not born prematurely and can be born full-term, I'll be satisfied."
The two of them, holding the checkup report, walked out chatting and laughing.
They completely ignored the pair of eyes behind them, staring at them with a fierce and hateful gaze.
'32 weeks? Twins?'
'Jessica is pregnant? She's actually pregnant?'
This news was like a bombshell, catching Diana completely off guard.
And Patricia, she didn't even tell her about Jessica's pregnancy.
Clenching her fists, Diana gritted her teeth, her eyes twisted as she stared in the direction Jessica had left.
Alright, Jessica was pregnant!
But she wouldn't let her have her way.
'Jessica, how can you be pregnant? And even with Gabriel's children?'
'In this world, Gabriel can only have one child, and that's the one from me.'
'Don't blame me for being ruthless. Blame yourself for getting pregnant with these two children.'
