“Are you going to have a baby?” Elvis Zachary was happy for them.
Stella Grace was very calm. Sean Yaleman had also said before that she was pregnant as her index was abnormal, “I think it would be better for me to go to the hospital after I have a rest.”
“Let’s draw some blood for the test first. I’ll prepare the medicine now. You should take it after food,” the doctor said. He opened the medicine chest and took out a syringe, “I’ll draw the blood now.”
Stella knew that he was just doing his job, so she did not struggle and showed her arm to the doctor.
The doctor wiped her arm with an alcohol swab and drew out a tube of blood. It was not very painful. Then, he packed up the collection tube properly and handed it to Elvis, “Send this to the hospital for a test.”
“Okay,” Elvis went immediately and the doctor left the room silently.
The room became quiet all of a sudden.
Stella felt so dizzy that she was about to fall asleep. All of a sudden, Jasper Milton came in from the door worriedly and put his hand on her belly, “The doctor said that you are pregnant.”
Stella shook her head, “I don’t think so. The same thing happened before and I was suspected to be pregnant. Later, I went to the hospital for a check-up and I was informed that it was because the hormones in my body are abnormal. Perhaps it has something to do with the medicines I took before. I haven’t vomited or felt nauseated. Don’t forget that I used to be a gynecologist.”
“You have to take care of yourself. I’ll have to head back downstairs to serve the guests later. I’ll ask someone to bring up some food, so you don’t have to go downstairs to eat. Have a good rest, okay?” Jasper ordered.
Stella nodded.
After a while, Anthony’s subordinate sent the food to her.
Stella didn’t have much appetite. After eating a little bit, her stomach ached badly. She lay back on the bed and closed her eyes, thinking about ways to deal with Christian Saltzman and Asher Yaleman. However, at this moment, the door was pushed open again.
Two soldiers moved an ultrasound machine in.
Stella was puzzled, “What are you doing?”
“Miss Wheeler, according to the test, you’re pregnant. It’s estimated that you have been pregnant for one and a half months now. For your safety, Mr. Milton had asked me to borrow a machine to make an ultrasound examination for you,” Elvis said.
Stella was speechless.
“I suppose that he’s right. It’s always better to be cautious,” she thought.
“Wait, I want to drink some water,” Stella said.
Elvis poured a glass of warm water for Stella immediately. She gulped the whole cup of water and said, “Wait for 15 minutes. Also, you may go out now.”
“Okay,” Elvis came to his senses and went out with the soldiers, leaving only the doctor.
Stella looked at the doctor in the white coat and smiled faintly. She remembered that she used to be a gynecologist too five years ago. She missed the life back then and she missed Eli Wayne too.
The doctor made an ultrasound examination for Stella fifteen minutes later.
Stella looked at the screen and she was slightly stunned. She could clearly see that there was an embryo which was about 1 cm big. There was another blister about 3 cm big in her womb. It was no wonder that she had a feeling of distention in her belly. She thought it was because she was going to have her period.
It was actually because she was pregnant.
“Congratulations, you’re pregnant. Don’t worry about this blister, it will disappear slowly,” the doctor said to Stella.
She placed her hand on her abdomen.
She was really pregnant again.
She had Jasper’s child again. Stella grinned and even wondered if she was hallucinating. She stared at the screen for a while and then smiled.
This was the best gift that she had gotten through this predicament. It was such a warm existence, which made her feel the joy of life after she experienced the desolation of death.
“However, you have to rest more. You shouldn’t overexert yourself, it would be better to stay in bed. Everything will be fine after three months,” the doctor said with a smile.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” The doctor smiled and went out.
The doctor took a photo of the screen, which showed the embryo, as well as the blister.
Then, the doctor handed the medicine to her, “Take this after your meal every day and the blister will soon disappear.”
“Thank you,” Stella took the medicine. She sniffed it and roughly knew what it was. She gulped it down and furrowed her brows. The medicine was so bitter, but she would persevere for her child.
The door was pushed open again. Jasper came in excitedly and smiled.
It was the brightest smile he had in recent days.
He put his hand on her belly and said, “We really have a baby.”
Stella also smiled and held Jasper’s arm. She nodded affirmatively and said, “We really have a baby.”
“Is it a boy or a girl?” Jasper blurted out.
“It’s too early to tell.”
“Oh, yeah, you just got pregnant,” Jasper looked at the screen. He stood up and pointed, “Is this the baby?”
“No, that’s a blister. The one below, the one that looks like a mini seahorse. That’s the one,” Stella reminded.
Jasper looked down and saw it at the bottom part of the screen. The corners of his mouth were lifted and he touched the picture with his fingers. He then turned to look at Stella.
Stella smiled.
He walked to Stella. Then, he lowered his head to kiss Stella’s forehead and praised, “You’re so great.”
She raised her head and kissed Jasper’s lips. She said gratefully, “You’re great too.”
“However, we were a little careless. I wouldn’t have let you stay up late yesterday if I knew that you were pregnant. That’s probably the reason why your stomach is hurting now,” Although Jasper was admonishing her, those words were meant for him.
“I used to vomit or feel sick when I was pregnant. Maybe life on the island was too happy or my body has grown stronger, so I didn’t notice the symptoms. I’m sorry,” Stella said apologetically.
Jasper rubbed her head, “It’s still not too late to take good care of yourself now. Take a rest first. I’ll accompany you after I’m done.”
“Yeah, you still have to serve the guests. Go ahead. Your mother needs you too. I’ll lie on the bed and not go anywhere,” Stella said softly.
Jasper kissed Stella’s forehead again. Then, he turned off the machine and went out.
As soon as Stella lay down, Suzi Shine entered the room.
“Mom,” Stella wanted to get up.
“It’s okay. Just lie down on the bed,” Suzi said worriedly, looking at her belly with tears in her eyes. She smiled and said, “If only you had come back a few days earlier and let Steven know this good news before he left.”
“Dad will surely bless us from heaven,” Stella comforted Suzi.
Suzi wiped his tears, “You speak really kind words. Have you named the baby yet?”
Stella shook her head and said, “It happened so suddenly. We had no idea before, so we were caught off-guard.”
Suzi approached and held Stella’s hand, “You have already married my son but I have yet to give you a wedding gift.”
She took out the diamond ring on her finger and put it on Stella’s ring finger, “This is a token of my affection, you must keep it.”
“Dad gave you this ring when you two got married. I can’t possibly take it,” Stella wanted to take off the ring.
“This diamond ring was not given by my husband, but from my own family instead. Now it’s yours,” Suzi said softly with tears as she smiled, “It’s great. I only have one request. When the child is born, I must be the one who takes care of the child. I like children very much.”
