Chapter 573 Actually Very Jealous 2
At that moment, Jessica walked past him gently and then looked at Louie, "Let's go!"
Louie hesitated and said, "Mrs. Walton, I've already told Mr. Walton about the prenatal checkup process. He knows everything, so let him..."
However, before Louie could finish, Jessica interrupted him.
"If you don't want to go with me, then I'll go alone."
With that, Jessica walked past him.
"Mr. Walton," Louie looked at Gabriel in a panic.
"You go with her!" Gabriel immediately said.
"Okay."
A few minutes later, Louie was driving with a calm-faced Jessica in the back seat, showing no emotion.
But only she knew how trapped and uncomfortable she felt inside.
Last night, Louie had stayed in her room for more than an hour.
Today, she deliberately had Louie replace Gabriel to accompany her for the prenatal checkup.
She thought Gabriel would be angry.
But Gabriel remained unusually composed.
It was as if it didn't matter who accompanied her.
He wasn't angry or jealous.
So, why did Gabriel come back to her?
Was it to make up for something or out of guilt?
That was not what she wanted.
She couldn't bear to neglect Gabriel; she was just a bit pretentious and had a slight complaint, wanting Gabriel to coax her.
It was only a few days; she couldn't hold out for long.
She wanted Gabriel to experience the feeling of being forgotten.
But thinking about how generous Gabriel was, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Jessica kept looking ahead, so she didn't notice that Gabriel was steadily following behind in his car.
The two cars maintained a comfortable distance—close enough to avoid Jessica's rejection, yet far enough to prevent Gabriel's worry.
At the hospital, Louie was very familiar with the process. He took Jessica's medical card to get a number and then took her to the obstetrics department to wait for the checkup.
Gabriel followed them all the way.
In the obstetrics hall, Jessica and Louie sat in the second row, while Gabriel sat in the last row.
As soon as he sat down, Gabriel heard whispers around him, "Look at that couple, they are so well-matched!"
"Not only is the pregnant mom beautiful, but the dad-to-be next to her is also incredibly handsome."
Gabriel listened, feeling very uncomfortable.
He was her husband, the baby's father.
But now, he was just an observer, a lonely figure.
What made it even harder to bear was that he had caused all of this himself.
'Gabriel, you deserve this.' He thought.
After sitting for a few minutes, it was soon Jessica's turn.
As she went in, Gabriel immediately followed, standing not far away, anxiously waiting.
Through a door, he stood outside, quietly listening to Dr. Diane Nichols' instructions.
Jessica was always nervous during every checkup in the later stages of her pregnancy. She cautiously asked, "Dr. Nichols, how is my baby?"
"The situation is good right now."
"Do I still need to have a C-section early to get the baby out sooner?"
Diane immediately shook her head, "As long as you and the baby are safe, the baby should stay in your belly as long as possible. The baby is not full-term yet, and after coming out, the baby's resistance and immunity will be very weak."
"One day inside your belly is worth ten days outside, so for the baby's sake, you must hang in there."
Jessica nodded, "Thank you, Dr. Nichols. I will take good care of myself and the baby."
"Okay, go for the fetal heart monitoring now!"
Jessica took the form and went to the fetal heart monitoring room.
After a few minutes, Gabriel suddenly heard the medical staff's voice inside.
"The baby hasn't been moving much, not very active. Is your husband outside? If so, ask him to quickly get you a lollipop or some chocolate."
Hearing this, Gabriel turned and quickly ran out.
He ran to the first-floor shop.
Then, following the shop owner's recommendation, he bought a lot of sweets that babies love.
Carrying a full bag, Gabriel quickly ran back.
Louie had just received a call from Jessica and was about to go buy the sweets when he looked up and saw Gabriel already handing the bag to him.
At the same time, Gabriel, panting, said, "Quick, take it to her."
"Mr. Walton, you bought these, so you should give them to Mrs. Walton yourself."
Gabriel thought of her resistance to him coming to the checkup in the morning, his eyes darkened, and he said, "No need, you take them to her."
Jessica was surprised when she got the sweets, "How did you get them so quickly?"
Louie didn't answer.
It wasn't until Jessica finished her checkup that he spoke, "Mrs. Walton Mr. Walton bought those sweets just now."
"He heard Dr. Nichols say they were needed, so he immediately ran down to buy them."
Jessica was stunned, "When did Gabriel come?"
"Mr. Walton has been behind you the whole time. From the moment we arrived at the hospital to your entire checkup, Gabriel has never left and has been silently accompanying you."
This time, Jessica was truly shocked.
But when she looked up, she didn't see Gabriel anywhere.
"Really?" Jessica replied, her voice tinged with despondency.
After getting in the car, she seemed a bit distracted.
"Louie, I don't want to go back yet. Take me to the mall up ahead; I want to shop and buy some things for the baby."
"Okay, Mrs. Walton."
Louie turned left at the intersection, and Gabriel immediately followed.
Soon, Gabriel and Jessica were separated by a few cars, all heading into the underground parking lot of the mall.
When Gabriel parked and went up, Jessica and Louie were in the maternity and baby store.
Through the glass, he could see Jessica's face.
She was holding a piece of clothing, listening to the sales clerk's introduction, her face gentle and beautiful, with a faint, slight smile on her lips.
She was completely immersed in joy.
How beautiful she was like that!
"Jessica," Gabriel couldn't help but call her name.
But Gabriel knew she couldn't hear him.
Jessica, under the sales clerk's introduction, was picking out some items needed for a newborn.
She was very careful and gentle in choosing each item.
Louie stood by her side, accompanying her.
Wherever Jessica went, Louie followed.
Suddenly, Jessica looked at the clothes in front of her, stopped, took a few pieces down, and then turned around to ask gently.
"Louie, which one do you think looks the best?"
Louie smiled and responded, "Which one does Mrs. Walton like?"
"Every piece looks great. I like them all and can't decide, so I wanted to ask for your opinion."
Jessica didn't see Gabriel because the clothes were in her way.
But actually, Jessica and Gabriel were very close at that moment.
So, Gabriel could hear every word Jessica said.
At that moment, Gabriel couldn't put his feelings into words.
Was Gabriel jealous?
No, he was just angry.
It should have been Gabriel by her side at that moment, but everything was replaced by another unrelated person, Louie.
Jessica reached out to touch the clothes on the rack, and she suddenly saw Gabriel.
