Chapter 79 Jackson Arrived at the Hospital
"Do you hear that? This is the baby's heartbeat. It is a very strong and healthy baby," the doctor announced, filling the room with a sense of awe and anticipation.
Lillian, lying on the examination bed, listened to the rhythmic thump of the unborn child's heartbeat, her own heart pounding in response. Her eyes welled up with tears as she turned to the doctor, her voice choked with emotion. "That's great, thank you."The doctor, however, was not finished. "You're too thin, Lillian. The baby needs nutrition, so you must ensure you're eating well. Have you been taking folic acid tablets?" Lillian nodded and said, "I've been taking them for half a month." Ever since the pregnancy test had confirmed her suspicions, she had enlisted Shirley's help to buy folic acid tablets, diligently taking them every day.The doctor gave a nod of approval. "That's good. We'll need to schedule regular check-ups here at the hospital. You can sit up now."Amelia Davis, who was accompanying her for the check-up, stepped forward to help Lillian sit up, smiling.
"Congratulations, Lillian. You're going to be a mom."Lillian gently caressed her abdomen, her heart filled with a mixture of joy and trepidation. "Yes, I'm going to be a mom. It feels so magical."As they exited the examination room, a sudden commotion in the corridor ahead caused Lillian's heart to skip a beat. She halted, her gaze fixed on the unfolding scene. The crowd parted, revealing Jackson's tall figure striding toward her. His expression was unreadable, his handsome face betraying no emotion. Lillian's heart clenched as their eyes met. She had no idea how much he had deduced. Struggling to maintain her composure, she feigned surprise. "Why are you here?"Jackson had already reached Lillian, swiftly taking the pregnancy test report from her hand. "Lillian, you're doing well! How long were you planning to hide this from me?" His large hand gripped the back of her neck, pulling her into his arms. His anger was palpable, the pregnancy test report crumpled in his hand.Lillian looked up at him, her face a mask of surprise. "What are you talking about? What am I hiding from you?"Jackson's jaw tightened as he held up the pregnancy test. "What's this? Explain to me what eight weeks pregnant means?"Lillian laughed, her voice tinged with bitterness. "Don't you think I'm pregnant? Could you please read whose pregnancy test this is?"Jackson's eyes widened as he realized the name on the pregnancy test report was not Lillian's, but Amelia Davis's. Amelia, who had been standing silently by, stepped forward cautiously. "This is mine. You misunderstood."Lillian pushed Jackson away, wrapping her arm protectively around Amelia. "This is my friend, Amelia. I'm here to accompany her for the check-up." She leaned in closer, her voice barely audible. "Don't you remember me taking birth control pills in front of you this morning? If I were pregnant, how could I have drunk alcohol and taken birth control pills?"Jackson's gaze shifted between Lillian and Amelia, his eyes narrowing. "Your friend? Why have I never seen her before?"Lillian's patience was wearing thin. "You've been abroad for so long, there are many friends of mine you don't know now." She held onto Amelia, attempting to make their exit.Jackson, however, was not ready to let them go. He blocked their path, his gaze fixed on Amelia. "Amelia is so young, is she married?"Amelia felt a wave of intimidation wash over her. Nervously, she clung to Lillian and said, "I'm already pregnant, of course, I'm married.""Really? What does Amelia do? And who is her husband?"Lillian, sensing Amelia's discomfort, stepped in front of her, her eyes blazing. "Enough! Are you interrogating a criminal? My friend just got pregnant, and you scared her half to death. Can you take responsibility? Let us through!"Lillian pushed Jackson aside, pulling Amelia along with her. But Jackson was quick to react, grabbing Lillian's wrist. His voice was icy. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Lillian, are you feeling guilty?"Lillian turned to face him, a mocking smile on her face. "Why are you getting so worked up? Do you wish I were pregnant so you could arrange an abortion right away and have me undergo the procedure on the spot?"
