Shane handed over the report. "That's right, you're pregnant. Eight weeks.”
Henry took the report. He felt as if he had taken the heaviest thing in the world. His hand was trembling and his heart was beating rapidly.
Perhaps he was shocked or maybe he was surprised. I n short, he felt complicated and very uneasy.
He... was going to be a father again!
Yvonne couldn't calmly look at the report in Henry's hand too, but she didn't snatch it. After a glance, she asked Shane, "So the reason why I'm sleepy is that I'm pregnant?"
Shane replied with a smile, "That's right. Other than that, you're in good health."
At first, he thought that there was something wrong with her body too. After all, she just had a kidney transplant not long ago.
It turned out that he had been thinking too much.
Yvonne slowly touched her stomach where a precious life was gestating right now.
Henry noticed her action, clenched the report in his hand, and hugged her in his arms. "That’s great, darling. We’re having a baby again."
Yvonne was touched listening to his joyful voice. She hummed gratefully, "Yes, we're going to be parents again." 2
Henry let go of Yvonne, looked at her stomach, and said solemnly, "I must watch this child's birth."
He had missed Theo's birth and years of him growing up.
He wouldn't miss it again for this child.
Yvonne looked up at him and said, "Well, that is what you said. If you can't, I'll run away with him and Theo."
Henry lowered his head slightly, leaning his forehead against hers. "There won’t be such a day. I swear."
Yvonne smiled. "Hmph. I've noted it down."
Shane felt sad and his eyes were gloomy seeing the both of them showing affection to each other.
But he soon adjusted his mood. He tilted his glasses and said in a serious tone, "Well, don't be too happy yet, guys."
"What's the matter?" Henry and Yvonne felt tense when they heard this.
Shane looked a little solemn. "Although Yvonne is pregnant, she's weak, so the child is unstable. Therefore, she must take good care of her body. Otherwise, it's easy for her to miscarry."
Upon hearing this, Yvonne’s pupils shrank and she suddenly hugged her stomach tightly. "Miscarriage?”
Henry's face also became serious. "What do we need to do?"
"I'll talk to the people in the Obstetrics & Gynaecology Department in a moment. Both of you don't have to worry about it. You just need to cooperate with us. The first three months are normally risky for a normal pregnant woman, but in Yvonne's case, it'll be the first five months."
"Five months?" Yvonne was shocked and her eyes widened. "That serious?"
"That’s right. Your body's weak. In addition, the operation for your first abortion was very harsh and wasn't handled well, so you could hardly conceive a child."
Yvonne's eyelids dropped when she heard Shane said so.
It was true. After Dominic Conrad and Jacqueline forced her to do the abortion for the first time, the doctor told her that she might never be pregnant again.
So it was a miracle that she could be pregnant with Theo.
And this time, it was a miracle too.
Henry felt Yvonne's sadness and he hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry, darling.”
Yvonne shook her head. "It's okay. It's all over. Let's listen to what Shane has to say.”
Henry looked at Shane again.
Shane said again, "I'm also surprised that Yvonne can be pregnant this time. In order to let the child be born safely, Yvonne, you’d better not do any intensive exercise and don’t let your mood fluctuate too much within the first five months. Do you understand?”
Yvonne nodded. "Yes, I understand."
Shane looked at Henry. "Do you understand?"
Henry knew what he was referring to and pursed his lips. "You don’t have to tell me that."
"I don’t want to say it, but I’m afraid you can’t help it." Shane rolled his eyes.
Yvonne blushed. She coughed lightly and changed the topic, "Alright. Do you have the sonogram? I want to see my child."
