Inside the room, Dorothy had just finished her amniotic fluid puncture, but she had to wait for another three weeks before the results came out.
After leaving the examination table, she was still in a conflicted mood, and her face looked sour and exhausted. It was paler than snow.
The doctor knew the reason for Dorothy’s dazed appearance was because she was worried about the safety of the child. She reached her hand out and comforted her, “Miss Fisher, the child in your womb has been through a lot, yet is still strong enough to accompany you. Believe me, he will be fine.”
Hearing the word ‘he’, Dorothy gently asked the doctor, “Doctor, can you tell me if my baby will be a boy or a girl?”
The doctor didn’t give her a definite answer. She just smiled. “You’ll know the gender in three weeks’ time.”
After that, she gave her another word of advice, “Miss Fisher, the reason why your stomach is in so much pain, is because you are too anxious. Remember, for you and your child’s sake, you have to stay relaxed.”
“No matter what happens, your child is of the utmost importance, and so is your health! Besides, your daughter is still waiting for the baby’s blood to save her own life.”
Compared to the heartless Leilani who wouldn’t even comfort her at all, the doctor felt more like a gentle and amiable mother.
Dorothy thought of her mother, Leilani. She started to think more about Leilani but buried those thoughts away. She looked up at the lead doctor and gave her a grateful smile. “Alright, I understand. I will try to relax. Thank you, doctor!”
“Good. Feel free to talk to me anytime.”
The lead doctor turned around and monitored the female doctors who were busy cleaning up the instruments. She pointed at two of them and ordered, “You two, take Miss Fisher back to her ward.”
Under the doctor’s orders, Dorothy was taken back to her ward by two other female doctors.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw Juelz lifting up a huge trash can and fiercely flung it at Credence. He looked like he wanted to smash Credence’s body in half.
Dorothy could not help but shout, “Juelz, stop, what are you doing?!”
However, after she shouted, she stopped herself.
Credence was so skillful that he avoided Juelz’s surprise attack.
Why was it that when she saw Juelz assaulting Credence, her first reaction was to call out to Juelz and to get him to stop hurting Credence?
Credence turned around and saw the anger on Juelz’s face, as well as the black trash can that he had avoided. He turned around and focused his dark gaze on Dorothy’s face. “Dorothy, are you all right?” he asked gently.
Dorothy turned her away, she didn’t look at Credence, nor did she answer him. She just looked at Juelz with her calm eyes, while remaining silent.
Credence’s handsome and charming face looked exhausted, and his eyes were bloodshot red. Her heart trembled violently at the sight of him, and her mind went blank.
She had not seen him for over half a month. Why did he look so tired?
Was it because of Melanie? Or was it because of her?
No, that wasn’t possible.
From start to end, he had never loved her. How could she be the reason for his sad state?
Dorothy was in a daze, all kinds of feelings welled up in her heart, but she couldn’t make a sound. Juelz threw the trash can lid in his hand to the ground and shouted furiously, “Credence, you almost got Dory killed. How could she be all right? If you still have any pity for her, then you’d better stay away from her, the further, the better. It would be best if you never see her again! Every time you get close to her, nothing good ever happens, she’ll just end up sad and in pain!”
With Dorothy watching, Juelz couldn’t throw the trash can lid at Credence. He could only put it down and run towards her. He looked extremely concerned about her and said, “Dory, since you’ve come out of the room, how was it? What were the results? Does your stomach still hurt?”
Dorothy shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt anymore. The doctor told me that we’ll know the results in three weeks’ time.”
“Good thing the pain subsided, three weeks will pass by very quickly.”
Juelz was so happy that he waved his hand to drive the two female doctors away. After that, he stretched out his arm to support Dorothy’s shoulders. He slowly walked her forward.
When he walked past Credence, he caught a glimpse of his sinister face. He smiled even brighter and deliberately pulled Dorothy closer into his embrace. In an instant, half of her slender body was pulled into his embrace.
“Come Juelz. Belle should be awake by now. I promised to accompany her to the hospital’s cafeteria for lunch.”
Dorothy wanted to stay as far away from Credence as possible. She didn’t notice Juelz’s little actions just now. She didn’t notice Credence’s cold stare upon seeing Juelz pull her closer to himself.
Dorothy was the weakest he had ever seen her, so he could not pull her back from Juelz’s side. If he accidentally hurt the child in her womb again, he would really lose her forever.
Credence clenched his fists tightly. He followed Dorothy from behind and calmly looked at her. He noticed that she had gotten thinner since the last time they met. Her waist was so thin that he could easily hold it with one hand.
The pain she had endured over the past two weeks wasn’t any less than his own.
They walked into the ward in silence. Dorothy was still in Juelz’s arms, they were very close to each other.
Germain was seated on the sofa with Belle. When she heard the noise, she looked up at the door. She could not help but raise her eyebrows and whistle. “Juelz, congratulations. Have you finally done it? Should I call Dorothy, sister-in-law the next time we meet…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Germaine caught a glimpse of a tall and cold figure behind Dorothy. His cold eyes were extremely terrifying, and it made her shudder. The comic book in her hand almost fell to the ground. “Ahem, Credence, why are you following Dorothy so quietly? You almost scared me to death.”
What the f*ck, Credence actually allowed Juelz to hug Dory so intimately without getting angry at all. What a horrifying scene!
Dorothy did not know that Credence was following her from behind. After hearing what Germaine said, she turned around in shock and looked at him.
From her line of sight, the first thing she saw was the man’s straight and powerful legs. One of his hands was in his pocket, and he was wearing a grey suit with a black jacket. She continued looking upwards and met his eyes, which were deep and silent. She could not tell what emotions were in Credence’s eyes, and neither of them blinked.
Only then did Dorothy realize that Credence had been following her from behind when they reached the ward. He hadn’t said a word, and she did not know what he wanted.
Following the man’s cold gaze, she looked back and realized that she was still in Juelz’s arms. She was in an awkward position. She quickly broke free from Juelz’s embrace. Her mind was in a mess, and her heart was beating fast!
When Dorothy saw Credence’s hurt expression, she clenched her slender fingers and calmed herself down. She whispered to him, “Credence, good thing you’re here. Let’s talk about the divorce. I want to have a divorce right now, but I know you won’t agree. Tell me, what exactly do you want? What do I have to do to get you to agree to a divorce?”
