In the hospital, the doctor finished the examination and said, “This is a normal contraction. It will often happen later, so don’t worry about it.”
Penelope was irritated by the doctor’s understated tone. “Is this pain really normal? Are you kidding me? Are you a doctor? Do you have any sympathy?”
Because of their previous appointment with him, they have become familiar with each other and even became Facebook friends.
As the doctor heard her reaction, she smiled and assured her, “Every mother feels these pains. All mothers are very strong.”
“Do you mean that I am pretentious?”
“I just said you need to be strong.”
“Oh, what are you insinuating?” Seeing both of them fighting, Warren had to interrupt them.
“If you are alright, let’s go back home.”
Warren said to Penelope and then glanced at the doctor.
“The expression on your face made me feel as though you are trying to make contradictions between doctors and patients?” said the doctor.
“Yeah! Do you know who he is? He can buy your hospital nearly effortlessly and then demote you to be a toilet cleaner!” Penelope adorned herself with borrowed plumes.
“Oh, that’s embarrassing. We’re a public hospital.”
Penelope won’t allow herself to be humiliated. She looked at Warren, obviously asking for help.
The latter glanced at her and asked, “Who taught you to bully others? Do you think that the doctor-patient relationship isn’t bad enough as it is?”
Penelope closed her mouth and glared at the doctor next to her.
Warren turned to the doctor and said, “And you, you know that she is pregnant. Do you provoke her?”
Penelope gloated and watched the doctor being scolded.
“Let’s go.” He reached out to turn her head and pushed her out.
The doctor sat back, depressed at the desk, and prepared to vent for a moment.
Penelope suddenly returned. She poked her head into the door of the office and said, “I will bake a cake tomorrow, so don’t eat too much before lunch!”
Then Penelope smiled and waved her hand.
The doctor thought that Penelope didn’t seem like a good cook. So, she will still eat as much as usual tomorrow.

On the way back, Penelope has been sleeping in the back. At the very beginning, she was afraid that Warren would continue to criticize her for improper behavior. Later, she is very sleepy and really falls asleep.
People who sleep in the car know that you can sleep well when the car is moving. Once it stops, you will immediately wake up.
Penelope woke up after the car stopped for two minutes. And then she kept her eyes closed, wondering if she should pretend to be sleeping and then wait for him to carry her off to the house like a lead actor in a TV show.
Ten minutes later, they still stagnate there. She was pretending to be asleep, and he didn’t move.
Twenty minutes later, she nearly suffered
from a sniffed neck. He still didn’t move.
Forget it. It seems that she does not have that kind of fortune.
Penelope pretended to wake up with a drowsy look. She stretched herself and then got out.
After walking a few steps and seeing no one coming up, she turned back and looked inside the cab window.
He fell asleep with his brow furrowed. He looked very tired.
Penelope’s nose and eyes are stuck in the car window. She looked from his lips to his eyebrows. Those smooth lines are like God’s meticulous polishing.
Such a perfect person, she still can’t remember. It’s totally tantamount to blasphemy.
According to her previous experiences, it took her at least six months to remember a person. Obviously, they do not have enough time to adapt to her timeline.
A month later, she won’t see this person. So she wanted to see him more. In the future, she won’t remember or even recognize him, she can still keep him in her heart.
There is condensation on the window. She wiped it with her sleeves and made a piece of clean glass.
When she looked inside again, he had woken up.
She smiled and knocked on the car window. “Get out quickly, let’s go to sleep!”
Warren, “…”
“Sleep apart, I don’t mean to take advantage of you!” Penelope explained after realizing he misunderstood her meaning.
Warren sighed, opened the door, and got off.
Penelope stepped back and said with a smile, “Thank you for taking me to the hospital. Have a good night!”
She hurried to the door as if someone was chasing after her. And she tottered on the steps.
“Be careful…” Warren followed her, feeling an attack on his nerves.
Penelope is indeed a person who practiced yoga. She wobbled a few times but managed to keep still.
“Wow, luckily…” She herself is still frightened.
He stepped forward and reached out to grab her arm. He scolded, “Why are you always so careless? Don’t you realize that you’re pregnant now? Do you have any self-consciousness as a mother? Do you take any responsibility for your baby?!”
Penelope was stunned by his words, staring at him seriously.
It seems that he was very angry. He let go of her hand, opened the door, and walked inside.
After a while, no one followed inside.
He drank the water, put the cup down, and walked back to the door. She lowered her head, which seemed to be crying.
He clenched his fists, then released them. She is still pregnant and emotionally unstable, but he scolded her with harsh words.
“I’m sorry for my harsh words. You might be scared.” He stepped forward and softened his tone.
Penelope rubbed her nose and said, “It doesn’t matter. You criticized me for my own good.”
“Are you crying?” He looked down and tried to see the expression on her face.
Penelope scratched her eyes with her fingers and smiled. “If I say I am not angry and even a little happy, would it be very abnormal?”
He reached over her forehead and said, “Were you scared, stupid?”
She really looked up with a silly smile, fully playing up to him.
