Free Web NovelChapter 603: Is There Something Bothering You?
When ’Wendy’ heard Milo talking about the maternity checkup, sudden concern appeared between her eyebrows and eyes. She lowered her eyelids slightly as if she was trying to narrow her presence in the room.
Unfortunately, Milo continued to talk about it. "By the way, you sponsored the new equipment for the maternity checkup for Wendy. Don’t you think it was funded perfectly for your wife and child? The old equipment is not good enough for Wendy and your kid."
"Okay, whatever equipment do you need you can talk to Mr. York about it." Michael shook his head helplessly.
He was not short of the tens of millions of dollars. Hospitals are places where lives are saved, and new advanced medical equipment could indeed save more lives.
Michael had always doe charity and even if he didn’t know Milo, he would have donated money to the hospital anyway.
Hearing Michael’s answer, Milo instantly became happy. "Oh, you are a star. Your family can call me anytime they need it."
"Hey. What nonsense are you saying?" Michael said heavily.
Milo immediately stretched out his hand and covered his mouth, "Ah. My mistake.
I’m just saying nonsense. You’re family will definitely not need me anymore."
Michael didn’t continue chatting with Milo either. He raised his head and looked at ’Wendy’ who was silently standing to the side. "Wendy, before we leave the hospital you should go for a maternity checkup. They happen to be in the hospital, and as it is not easy for me to accompany you myself, you can have Milo take you there."
However, ’Wendy’s’ face sank, and her expression looked a little unnatural.
"What’s the matter?" Michael asked, looking at her worriedly. "Is there something you’re uncomfortable with?" If she went for a maternity checkup, wouldn’t that just be the same as revealing everything?
"Wendy’s complexion looks a bit bad. Let me accompany her to the checkup. I happen to have some free time now," Milo said.
When ’Wendy’ heard his words she immediately smiled, but in her head she was frantically trying to think of an excuse. "I’m fine. Is it already time for a checkup?
The most important thing now is caring for Michael’s injury. I will do the checkup in a few days."
"Your physical condition is different from that of ordinary people. Others have a birth check once a month, but you need to have a maternity checkup once a week. If we consider how long it’s been, you haven’t had a checkup in over a week," Michael said. "Please go get the checkup, then we can leave the hospital and go home together."
"I..." ’Wendy’ couldn’t think of an excuse. It was not reasonable for her to continue procrastinating her maternity checkup. But as soon as she were to do it, she would be clearly showing that everything up to that point had been a lie.
According to her plan, she was going to use Wendy’s identity to sleep with Michael first. After sleeping with him a few times and getting pregnant with a child, everything would be easy. Even if Michael found out she was a fraud, at least she could still use the child in her stomach to negotiate things. However, when she had initially thought of this plan, she did not anticipate Michael to be injured and laying in the hospital for all this time.
For the past few days, she could do nothing but deliver food to Michael every day and chat with him in the hospital. Although Michael was in the hospital, he was always busy with work. There was even a laptop still on the bed. There was not much interaction between her and Michael, let alone time for other things.
"What’s wrong, Wendy? If you feel uncomfortable, please let me know." Michael looked at ’Wendy’ worriedly. "This is the hospital, so don’t feel the need to hide any discomfort."
"I’m fine. I just think Milo must be busy, so I don’t need to bother him to accompany me to the checkup. I’ll go there by myself later," ’Wendy’ said with a forced smile.
"I’m fine. I’m not busy now." Milo was very enthusiastic.
...
’Wendy’ really wanted to kill Milo. Why did he have to start talking about the check-up? When she and Michael went home, she would just find a chance to sleep with Michael. As long as she could get pregnant with a child, everything would be easy.
But why did Milo have to mention the birth check now?
Both Michael and Milo had insisted, so if ’Wendy’ refused to not receive a checkup, they would probably begin to doubt things. She had no choice but to bite the bullet, and then find a chance to escape. However, Milo could definitely not accompany her.
He was a doctor and it would be easy for him to see something wrong.
"Okay, I’ll go for the maternity checkup, but Milo doesn’t need to accompany me. I’ll just go by myself. If there was a man who I’m not familiar with, I think it would be.."
she didn’t need to finish her thought. Since she said this, Milo wouldn’t be able to follow her there anymore. They were indeed not too familiar with each other.
Listening to her words, Michael’s brows furrowed slightly. Why did he feel like ’Wendy’ was acting a little weird? A few days ago, when he mentioned the maternity check, she didn’t want to go. At that time, it made sense to not want to go since she had just had one not long before. But at this point, many days had passed and she still didn’t want to go? Wendy cared about this child very much and knowing that her physical condition was worse than that of an ordinary pregnant women, she herself had been very concerned about the birth check.
"I almost forgot. I still have work to do, so I won’t accompany you." Milo made an excuse for himself. "Wendy, you should pay close attention to the doctors instructions during the checkup."
"Okay." ’Wendy’ forced another smile and nodded to Milo.
"Then I will leave first," Milo said. "You can talk to the doctor or nurse when you are discharged from the hospital. Someone will help you with the discharge procedure."
Michael gave a hum and nodded. After Milo left, Michael and ’Wendy’ were left in the ward.
"Wendy, is there something bothering you?" Michael frowned and asked her. "If there is something, you must tell me directly. We are a husband and wife, you know?"
"No." ’Wendy’ said immediately with a smile, feeling afraid that Michael would doubt her. "I am just worried about you being here alone."
"But I also worry about you and the child you’re carrying." Michael was slightly moved when she heard her words.
"Then I will go for a checkup now and then we can go home together, okay?" said ’Wendy’. Listening to her words, Michael felt relieved and nodded.
’Wendy’ went to the obstetrics department alone. Milo has already explained that as soon as she went, a doctor would specially receive her. Sitting on the chair, facing the doctor, ’Wendy’ was a little nervous. She knew that this hospital was Milo’s, and Milo was Michael’s friend. This checkup was absolutely not possible for her to deal with directly. On the way there, she had already figured out a plan.
"Mrs. Lucas, are the pregnancy symptoms still strong?" the doctor asked ’Wendy’.
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, ’Wendy’ immediately stood up, clasped her hands over her mouth, and ran to the toilet.
Seeing ’Wendy’ like this, the doctor immediately followed, and asked concerned, "How are you feeling, Mrs. Lucas?"
"I... want to vomit..." ’Wendy’ deliberately pretended to be unable to say a complete word. The doctor stepped forward and immediately patted ’Wendy’ on the back.
...
After a while, ’Wendy’ felt relieved.
"I may not be able to do the examination today. I feel severe morning sickness and my head is a little dizzy," ’Wendy’ said weakly, deliberately changing the subject. "Is there anything that can ease the morning sickness?"
"It varies from person to person, but you seem to have a much stronger reaction than most," the doctor replied. "However, you can follow the dietary recommendation I gave you before. It helps to ease morning sickness."
"Yes, I’m here to ask you for it," ’Wendy’ said. "I... accidentally lost it last time."
"Okay, I’ll give you another one." The doctor immediately returned to his seat and printed out the information, giving it to ’Wendy’.
’Wendy’ took it and nodded. "Thank you, doctor. I won’t keep you then."
Seeing ’Wendy’ turn to leave, the doctor frowned and started to call out to her. "Mrs. Lucas..."
However, ’Wendy’ just pretended not to hear him and walked out quickly.
"Aren’t you here for the check-up? Why leave right after just getting some recipes?"
The doctor muttered.
’Wendy’ did not go back to the ward immediately. If she returned too soon, Michael would definitely question her. She waited for half an hour to pass before heading back, counting down the minutes carefully.
"How was the check-up?" Michael asked when he saw her.
’Wendy’ handed the dietary recommendation to Michael, and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, your kid is fine."
"What is this? Where are the results from the check-up?" Michael asked suspiciously as he looked the document over.
"I didn’t manage to go through with the check-up today." ’Wendy’ sighed softly and said, "My morning sickness was serious, and I vomited as soon as I got to the doctor’s office. The doctor saw me in that state and said that he would not do the checkup. He gave me the recommended diet and asked me to follow it for a few days before going for the check-up."
’Wendy’’s words made Michael frown slightly. freewebnσvel.cøm
Seeing this, ’Wendy’ immediately added, "But don’t worry, it’s just the morning sickness acting up; it’s not a huge issue. Following the recipes, it will ease after a few days."
"You don’t seem to have had any morning sickness recently. Why did it suddenly act up today?" Michael pondered. He thought about how ’Wendy’ had stayed close by his side, and how he hadn’t noticed her being ill.
’Wendy’ panicked when she heard this. After thinking, she said, "I don’t have morning sickness, but I do throw up. Every time I go to the bathroom, and when I go out, I often vomit. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I hid it whenever I felt like vomiting."
’Wendy’ paused before continuing to say, "Michael, I know you are worried about me and the baby, but I am also worried about you and I don’t want you to worry too much. You’ve landed in the hospital working every day, and you haven’t left your study. I can’t help you much, I can only try to make you worry less. " Although ’Wendy’ had said nothing wrong, Michael still felt that something was off.
Gazing upon her familiar face, Michael forced himself to relax. His wife was right in front of him, and he had nothing to be upset about.
