Henrick's words caused Cindy to blanch fearfully as her heart pounded wildly in her chest.
Did Henrick find out about Matthias and me? Is he suspecting that the child isn't his?
At once, her palms turned clammy.
She convinced herself that Henrick merely wanted to know how old the child was.
Cindy cast a nervous glance at the doctor, who answered, “She's three to four months along.”
“Three to four months,” Henrick repeated. A look of relief washed over his face, and he finally allowed himself to beam happily.
Three to four months ago, Matthias was managing Cindy's branch office overseas. We had sex at least once a week back then, which means the child is mine!
As the doctor wanted to help Arielle out, he offered, “If you want to know the exact date, we can carry out a thorough checkup for you for free.”
Cindy rejected his offer at once. “No need. I shall do that at another hospital. Thank you, though.”
As she was insistent, the doctor had to give up.
He shot Arielle an apologetic gaze before leaving with the nurse in tow.
Arielle didn't blame him, for Cindy was indeed too heartless.
She'll get a taste of her own medicine someday!
With a polite smile on her face, Arielle congratulated Henrick, “Congratulations, Dad. You're going to have a son!” She paused before adding, “No, I should congratulate myself as I'm going to have a younger brother soon.”
