It was already 5 p. m. when she returned to shore. It was too late for her to go to the hospital for the check-up. Because of her cold, she still felt a little dizzy.
She was preparing to conceive a baby, so she didn’t want to take any medication. She drank a lot of warm water and lay in bed all night. She was groggy and confused, breaking out in a cold sweat.
At about 4 a. m. the next morning, she woke up and couldn’t fall back asleep. She got up to cook some soup then lay back down on the bed to play Dog Town. Time flew and she had played the game for an hour. Her soup was already ready and in ‘keep warm’ mode.
She got up and made some toast.
The dog woke up as well. She fed it and squatted in front of the kennel, “Apollo, I have to go out today. You should stay at home.”
“Woof, woof.” The dog barked twice.
Natalie smiled lightly, fed it with some dog food and went back to have breakfast.
It was only 6 a. m. when she was done with breakfast. She changed into her sportswear. Perhaps she had not recovered from the cold yet, hence her body still felt a little weak. Usually, she would run for one or two hours, but she could only run for forty minutes today before she got off the treadmill. After taking a hot bath and changing her clothes, she fed the dog with water before leaving. Then, she set off.
At 10 a. m., she had already completed the examination and got the doctor’s report.
Her menstruation cycle was abnormal and the doctor advised her to recuperate. Her temporary ovulation period would be from 5th to 10th of October.
She walked out of the hospital, scrolled through her mobile phone, and could not find Jasper’s phone number. She remembered that she had already blacklisted his phone number and deleted it.
Sean Yaleman should have Jasper’s phone number, so should Stephen. However, she didn’t want to ask it from either of them. Jasper would contact her later, so she put the phone into her bag. After getting into bed, she slept again. She woke up once, but she still felt sleepy, so she fell asleep yet again.
She was awakened by the ringtone of her mobile phone and had a headache. Seeing that it was a new caller ID, she answered, “Hello.”
“Hello, is this Miss Wheeler?” The man asked.
Natalie thought that the voice was a little familiar, “What’s the matter?”
“I am Director Milton’s assistant, Elvis. We have met before, do you still remember me?” Elvis Zachary said politely.
“Yeah,” Natalie sat up.
“Have you forgotten to contact Director Milton? He threw a tantrum. You should contact him quickly, else we will be in trouble,” Elvis requested.
“I don’t have his phone number,” Natalie apologized.
“I’ll send it to you now.” After Elvis said that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Natalie’s refusal.
Jasper Milton squinted his eyes and asked Elvis, “What did she say?”
“She said that she didn’t have your phone number, but I’ll send it to her now,” Elvis explained.
Jasper’s eyes contracted, and there was a little coldness in them.
No wonder he couldn’t contact her. Not only did she blacklist his phone number, but she had also deleted it.
There was a fire burning in his body.
Natalie called him. His eyes were gloomy and he asked, “Where are you?”, instead of going straight to the doctor’s report.
Natalie paused for a moment and said, “The report states that my ovulation period will be from 5th to 10th October.”
“Shouldn’t it be 14 days after your period?” Jasper’s voice became colder.
“My menstrual cycles are not regular. It would be best for me to go for a check-up every month. The next would be from 5th to 10th October,” Natalie explained.
“I see. Tell me the location, I’ll ask someone to pick you up.”
Natalie was speechless.
“Isn’t it useless if we do it now?” Natalie asked.
Jasper looked ahead sharply, “Weren’t you a gynecologist? Have you returned all the knowledge that you’ve learned from the hospitals and teachers? Sperms could stay in your body for a week.”
“Oh.” She was dizzy and did not seem to comprehend for a moment, “I’m on a yacht at the dock.”
“Remember to eat and take a shower. I don’t want to waste any time,” Jasper said coldly.
“Okay,” Natalie replied.
As soon as she answered, Jasper hung up the phone directly.
Natalie got up, grilled a chicken chop, and ate the soup she had cooked in the morning. After she finished eating, she took another big glass of green juice. Then she took a bath and fed the dog.
The dog was very happy to see her. It wagged its tail and turned around.
Now she knew why there were so many people who liked to keep dogs. Apart from the companionship, she could clearly feel the dog’s affection towards her.
She squatted in front of the kennel and fed it with biscuits.
The dog ate two pieces and barked at the dock suddenly.
Natalie stood up and looked at the dock. Elvis was walking towards her. When he saw her, he smiled respectfully.
Natalie rubbed the dog’s head and said, “I’m going out. Stay at home, okay?”
The dog barked. Natalie added some water to the dog’s feeder, locked the door and walked toward the dock.
“Miss Wheeler, do you want to bring some clothes with you?” Elvis reminded her.
Natalie’s face turned slightly red, “No, I’m coming back today.”
“Oh, I didn’t mean that.”
Natalie was silent for a moment.
What did he mean then?
She got into Elvis’s car and rested with her eyes closed. The car drove for one and a half hours and finally stopped in front of a villa.
Elvis opened the car door and said respectfully, “Miss Wheeler, we’re here.”
Natalie got out of the car and followed Elvis into the villa. She did not see Jasper.
“Director Milton should be working in the study room. Go up to the second floor. He’s in the second room on the left,” Elvis stood by the stairs and said.
She remembered that he, Dante, and Ralph used to live in a small house. When did they have such a villa? Moreover, judging from the decoration of this villa, it didn’t look like it had just been renovated. Did he buy a second-hand house?
What did it have to do with her whether Jasper bought a new house or an old house?
She was really good at worrying about nothing.
Natalie went upstairs, stood at the door of the study room and knocked on the door.
“Come in,” Jasper’s voice came from the room.
She pushed the door open and walked in.
He glanced at her and then fixed his eyes on the computer. He said in a low voice, “Sit for a while.”
Natalie nodded respectfully and distantly and sat down on the sofa. She lowered her head and waited for a long time, but Jasper did not call her.
Subconsciously, her eyes fell on his face.
He was focused on the computer. When he was working, he looked colder than usual. His eyes were sharp and his aura was strong, like an invincible king.
Whether Jasper was a soldier or a businessman, he would always be outstanding.
She was proud to be in love with him and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise slightly.
Jasper looked at her.
Natalie was caught. She felt a little guilty and she immediately lowered her head.
Jasper’s expression eased a little. He switched off the computer and asked, “Have you taken a bath?”
“Yeah,” Natalie answered.
“Follow me,” Jasper got up and walked out of the door.
She followed him into the next room.
“Sit for a while. I’ll take a shower,” Jasper said in a deep voice.
“Okay,” Natalie responded.
Jasper walked to the bathroom…
