Chapter 260 Alexander Accompanies Lillian to a Prenatal Checkup
Theodore openly admitted, "Yes, the perfume you two are wearing does smell quite similar."
"Then, could it be that the person you're looking for is me?" Angela pointed at herself, asking in disbelief.
Theodore looked at her for a moment and asked, "Where were you on October 1st last year?"
Angela frowned and thought carefully, muttering to herself, "October 1st last year, I remember attending an academic conference in Atlanta and staying there for seven or eight days."
"Are you sure?" Theodore asked.
Angela thought for a moment and replied, "I'm sure. Although it was a long time ago, I'm certain I stayed in Atlanta the whole time. I wanted to come back midway, but there was smog, so I didn't return."
"Then, it's not you." Theodore's eyes showed a hint of disappointment.
Seeing this, Angela said, "Don't be discouraged. If you keep trying, you'll find her. A patient gave me the perfume I use. How about I help you contact her and ask when I get back?"
"That would be great!" Theodore said happily.
Angela said, "It seems this girl is very important to you. Do I need to ask where she was on October 1st last year?"
Theodore added, "Ask again if she has ever been to the Sunshine Hotel."
"Okay, no problem," Angela agreed cheerfully, but she guessed in her heart that there must be a story here.
After entering May, the temperature at night was no longer low. After dinner, Kelly brought the fruit to the yard, and everyone sat in the yard chatting.
Lillian lay on a recliner, being served, eating the fruit, and gazing at the night sky. She said, "There are so many stars tonight. It's really rare."
Kelly fanned her and said, "It's indeed rare to see so many stars in the city now. In the countryside, the night sky is full of stars every night. It's not a big deal."
"Natural scenery is still better in the countryside," Lillian said to Alexander. "After you have the baby, take me to the countryside for a few days."
"If you can handle not having a bathroom, go if you want," Alexander said indifferently.
Lillian was stunned. Realizing there were still places in the countryside without bathrooms, she immediately lost interest and changed her mind, saying, "Actually, it's also good to go to our family’s estate. The villa by the sea is also nice, and watching the stars by the sea is also interesting."
Alexander smiled and asked, "Tomorrow is the day for the prenatal checkup, right?"
"Yes, Kelly and I will go." Lillian knew he was a workaholic and didn't want to affect his work.
However, he said, "How can I not be by your side for the prenatal checkup? I also want to see how much the babies have grown."
Kelly said, "Mr. Sinclair should accompany you. I'll stay home and make you some delicious food."
Lillian didn't know about other pregnant women. She only knew that her taste kept changing. She couldn't stand the smell of meat before, but these days, she suddenly wanted to eat roasted meat. Kelly made some during the day, and Lillian ate it all.
Lillian said, "Kelly, make more. I'll take some to my interest class the day after tomorrow for them to try. They all love your cooking."
Alexander fed her an apple and said worriedly, "Do you still need to go to the prenatal class? You're five months pregnant now, and your belly is so big. It's inconvenient to move. Maybe you shouldn't go."
Lillian remarked, "I can still walk now. While I can, I should walk more. When I reach the late stage of pregnancy, I won't be able to walk though I want to."
Seeing her insist, Alexander let her be.
The next day, after breakfast, Lillian and Alexander went to the hospital. In front of the obstetrics and gynecology department, a long line of people waiting for prenatal checkups sat on the chairs in the corridor outside. Their mothers or friends accompanied most, while some came alone, and only Lillian was accompanied by Alexander.
"Honey, do you feel out of place?" Lillian joked.
Alexander replied, "No, it's normal for me to accompany you for a prenatal checkup."
Lillian remarked, "Maybe their husbands are busy with work and can't accompany them."
Alexander didn't find it meaningless to discuss, so he changed the topic, "Michael is on a business trip today, so you'll have to postpone the dinner you planned with him."
"How do you know? Did he tell you?" Lillian asked, puzzled.
He replied, "Yes, I ran into him during my morning run, and he mentioned it."
Lillian responded, "Then, we'll talk about it later."
Alexander turned to smile secretly. He wouldn't tell her that he had told Michael that Lillian wasn't feeling well and that the dinner would have to be postponed.
No matter how formidable, low-key, mature, and reserved one was in the business world when a crisis arose in the realm of emotions, one became flustered like a child, resorting to flawed methods to resolve it.
"Number 59, Lillian, please go to consultation room number 2," a robot passed by, announcing.
"It's our turn." Lillian held Alexander's hand, slowly stood up, and walked step by step toward the consultation room.
"Blood pressure, weight, and fetal heart rate are all normal," the doctor wrote on the chart and said, "The pregnant woman and the baby are both doing well. Keep it up, and come back for a checkup next month."
The doctor's words gave them the best comfort. Lillian and Alexander came out of the consultation room, both happy and relieved.
On the way back, Lillian said contentedly, "Honey, do you think our son is very sensible? I've been through a lot with them, taking numerous medications to protect the pregnancy, and they are still healthy, growing steadily in my belly. I'm so touched."
"Yes, our kids are very strong." Alexander nodded in agreement.
