Yvonne shushed her and lowered her voice to answer. "I saw someone I know.”
"And?" Lynette was nonplussed.
Yvonne shook her head. "You won't get it. If he sees m e, he’ll definitely ask what I'm doing at the OB-GYN.”
"So? Just tell him directly.” Lynette was unfazed.
Yvonne rolled her eyes. "Didn’t I tell you that I wasn’t sure if I'm pregnant? I tell him and he’ll tell my husband. What if I'm not pregnant then? That'd be awkward."
"That’s true."
"Besides, I want to surprise my husband. There's no surprise if he finds out in advance.”
"I know, so we have to avoid him, yeah?” Lynette pointed at the man from the back of the pillar with heart-shaped eyes. "He’s so handsome! He's a doctor here, isn't he?”
"Yeah, he’s the chief surgeon, also my husband’s best friend," Yvonne answered while she kept her eyes on Shane.
Lynette made a slurping noise. "Yvonne, I realize that your husband must be someone amazing. All his friends are handsome. There is Mr. Lancaster, then this gorgeous doctor. Oh yeah, what's his name?"
"Shane Summers," Yvonne replied.
Lynette cackled. "It's a great name. Do you have his contact number?"
"What are you trying to do?" Yvonne looked at her friend in alert.
Lynette made a little dance shyly. "I want to court him!"
"Don't. Kick that idea out of your head as soon as possible." Yvonne looked serious.
Lynette was miffed. "Why?"
"Because he comes from a wealthy household. His family has generations of prestigious medical specialists. Do you think that he's able to call the shots for his own marriage?" Yvonne retorted.
It was not just Shane. Even Henry's marriage was decided by Master Lancaster.
Disappointment clouded Lynette's face after she heard what Yvonne said. "Looks like there’s no chance for me then."
"That's for sure. Okay, he's gone, let's go." Yvonne pulled Lynette to the OB-GYN.
With her friend's company, Yvonne was not too nervous when she was being checked. She was, however, anxious. It lingered until after her checkup.
Lynette bought her some warm milk. "Are you still worried? I can see you shaking."
"Yeah." Yvonne thanked her for the milk. "I’m worried that I'm not pregnant."
"What's the qualm? The result isn’t out. What if you are?" Lynette supplied nonchalantly.
"What if I'm not?" Yvonne sighed.
"Then we'll go get good food and you can work harder with your husband when you go back later. What's so serious?" Lynette cackled suggestively.
Tickled by her antics, Yvonne could not help bumping shoulders with her. "What are you talking about..."
"I'm not simply saying it. It's most probably got to do with the men when the women can’t get pregnant," Lynette said with a snort.
Speechless, Yvonne teased her, "You aren't even married yet and you're not even embarrassed about these THINGS."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? All women go through it. I'm just facing it later than you. You can relay your experience to me. How nice." Lynette sipped on her coffee.
Deciding to ignore her, Yvonne shifted her gaze to the specialist's door and suppressed her perturbation, waiting patiently for her result.
It was nearly one hour later when the door opened and a nurse came out from it. "Is Miss Yvonne Frey here?"
"Yvonne, your results are out." Lynette was the first to react as she reminded Yvonne.
The latter stood up rigidly to go to the nurse. "I'm Yvonne Frey. Miss, how is my result?" she asked in both anticipation and anxiety.
The nurse handed her the result with both hands. " Congratulations, Miss Frey. You're becoming a mother."
