Emily immediately replied upon seeing the astonished look on Arthur’s face, “He is a friend of mine. Thomas, it’s getting late and you should make a move now.”
“Alright then. Emily, I’ll pay you a visit real soon! Do call me immediately if you need anything!”
Thomas nodded to Arthur politely and eventually left the ward. Arthur continued to stare at him and realized that he looked so much like someone else!
They were too similar to be true! Thomas not only looked like the young Gavin, but he also had a red mole behind his earlobe. What on earth was going on?
Arthur was extremely shocked and decided to report this matter to Gavin later.
He had questions in mind and decided to enquire Emily, “Is your friend from B City as well?”
“Nope. He lives at Misurton.”
“I see. He looks youthful and handsome. I assume that he has a successful career?”
Emily had an unexplainable burst of joy upon hearing about it and said, “Yes, he is indeed a talented man! He graduated from one of the most prestigious universities in the world at a young age. He is currently the president working under the Floyd Group at the city that he currently resides at.”
Arthur was increasingly surprised about his background. Thomas’ age did not stop him from becoming the Floyd Group’s president in Misurton. Wasn’t that too extraordinary?
Valeria deliberately skipped her breakfast as she needed to undergo several examinations. She did not need to wait for her turn as she was the VIP in this hospital.
The ultrasound for the gender revealing test was scheduled at the last. She coincidentally saw Natasya when she was doing a blood test.
Natasya concealed herself with a hat and face mask. She headed towards Valeria’s direction with a checkup list in her hand. She immediately hid upon noticing Valeria and the others.
Valeria managed to notice her fishy behavior and said, “Honey, Natasya is here at the hospital. Why would she be here early in the morning? Do you think that she’s here to obtain her pregnancy result?”
William despised Natasya to the core and felt irritated upon hearing her name. “Let’s just ignore her. We shall now focus on our tasks at hand for the sake of our babies. Marcus will keep an eye on her instead.”
Valeria completed all the tests without waiting in line. William then took her to the ultrasound room as their last schedule for the day.
William then accompanied her into the examination room. Hayden, Lucas, and Bobby did not enter and were waiting outside the room instead.
The doctor had paid special care and attention to her. He went straight to business upon asking a few questions at Valeria. William stood aside and looked at the images of babies in Valeria’s stomach on the screen.
The babies were well-posed as if knowing that they were being photographed. William had never experienced becoming a father before. His gaze was filled with happiness upon seeing them for the first time.
The doctor noticed the excited look on his face and explained matters in detail. The babies were healthy and everything seem normal.
Doctors would generally not reveal the gender of babies to the parents. The normal procedure would be to avoid scoping the genital area when undergoing the ultrasound test. However, the doctor took the other pathway as William was a VIP in the hospital. He deliberately showed William a full picture of the fetus on the screen.
Valeria was also very curious about the gender of the tiny human beings in her stomach. She had no preference and would treat them as the love of her life no matter what turned out to be.
The couple was shocked upon hearing that they will be having twin sons from the doctor. William chuckled and said, “Sweetheart, you have clearly won the lottery! I initially expect that we would have one princess and one prince. I was shocked that you would have two bodyguards to protect you in the future!”
“Are you feeling jealous now?” Valeria raised her eyebrows while asking.
“Of course not! You would always have my respect for going through this pregnancy period. However, don’t even think of breaking our promise,” William reminded her.
He wanted to have at least one daughter and placed his hope on Valeria. She rolled her eyes at him and he then went out to get ahold of Hayden who was waiting outside. He smiled and said, “Dad, you would have two grandsons real soon!”
Hayden was feeling on top of the world and said, “Oh My God! That’s such a great piece of news! Hahahaha! I have guessed it right!”
He burst into laughter despite knowing that he was currently in a hospital. Lucas had a pleasant look on his face upon hearing about it. Bobby was also influenced by them and said while grinning, “I’m so glad to hear that! I finally have two tiny human beings as my disciples!”
Hayden had a displeased look on his face upon hearing about it and snapped back, “Absolutely not! I would not allow you to torture my lovely grandsons. You would definitely not go easy on them judging by your explosive skillset. What if they got injured because of you?”
“Mrs. Howard has agreed to my request and I’ll remind her once again when the time comes,” Bobby replied in a confident tone. Hayden glared at him but he did not feel intimidated by it.
The two of them finally stopped arguing with each other when Valeria came out from the examination room. Hayden smiled dotingly towards her and said, “Valeria, you must be starving by now. Let’s go and have breakfast then!”
William reminded him, “Dad, we have not obtained the ultrasound image yet. Don’t you want to see how your grandsons look like?”
“Of course I do! However, I can’t possibly starve them, can I? We shall enjoy our breakfast and only retrieve it later. Let’s head over to Valeria’s favourite breakfast spot right now!”
They then happily left the hospital and coincidentally met with Arthur at the parking lot. His forehead was wrapped in gauze and he was seen to be in a rush. He halted his steps upon noticing the familiar faces and greeted, “Mr. Howard! Valeria! William!”
Valeria was taken aback upon seeing him as she was not aware of his injury. She asked, “What happened to you? How did you get injured?”
“I was met with a minor car accident not long ago. You need not worry as I’m feeling alright,” Arthur replied with a smile. He assumed that the group of people was accompanying Valeria for a checkup. He then asked, “Valeria, are you here to attend your regular checkup?”
“Yes, you’re right. She did an ultrasound test just now and got to know the gender of the babies. I would be having twin grandsons real soon!” Hayden replied with a proud look on his face.
“Mr. Howard, congratulations! William and Valeria, I am so happy for you both!” Arthur sent his blessing to them.
“Thank you so much!” Hayden was feeling over the moon and the group eventually got onto the car before leaving the premise.
Arthur soon departed upon seeing them exiting from the parking lot. He was in a hurry to report an important matter to Gavin.
Arthur was being questioned by Gavin upon coming back from the hospital, “How is Emily doing?”
“Her recovery is going well and I did have a chat with her briefly. She is a kind person and made it very clear that she had the money to pay for the maintenance fee of our car. She is a translator who is fluent in both English and French. Her daily work routine would require translating documents at home and she earns quite a lot. She kept emphasizing it to avoid us from not demanding the reimbursement expense from her. She is capable of paying us back but she may need a much longer time than expected.”
“I see. She is indeed an honest person!” Gavin sighed and continued, “Didn’t you notify her about our intention of waiving the maintenance fee from her?”
“I did, but she insisted on paying back what she had damaged. By the way, I happen to see a young man paying her a visit just now. He looks so much like the younger version of you. Besides, he even has a red mole on his ear.”
