My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 184

Before the meeting was begun, Jack closed all the curtains in the room. The room darkened immediately.

The projector was turned on. The host made a few adjustments and an image appeared on the screen.

In a few seconds, he briefly stated the theme of the meeting before starting off by showing the statistics.

Jack wasn't the host of the meeting, instead, he sat and listened to the statistics being shown on the screen, holding different types of documents.

He had prepared some fruits and desserts for Rachel, because he didn't want her to be bored. This was the meeting about Mosa City the they would be visiting.

However, the meeting was actually very interesting. Rachel found herself paying attention from time to time, not bothering to eat the fruits and desserts in front of her.

In the hospital, Lea and Henry were at the edge of their seats. When her name was called, he immediately stood up and reached out his hand to assist her.

He was met with a push. "My stomach hurts. That doesn't mean I'm not able to walk," she said bluntly.

Without another word, he let her go.

Originally, he wanted to arrange an expert to meet her, but she rejected him with full sarcasm. At last, she relented and decided to queue up to meet the doctor.

The doctor they were about to meet was an experienced man in his fifties.

He sat down and listened to her ailment. When he asked her about her situation and felt her pulse, his eyes flashed.

With a smile on his face, he quickly wrote down on his notebook. Henry raised his eyebrows. "Doctor, is there something wrong with her stomach?"

The doctor shook his head. "You should go to the gynecology and obstetrics department on the second floor."

Knowing the implication of his words, both of them were stunned. They shared a look.

"Are you kidding me? I'm pregnant? How I..."

She glanced at the man beside her, seeing that he was also shocked by the sudden diagnosis.

Henry squeezed her hand. "Let's go upstairs and have a look."

She couldn't tell whether he was happy or not. Whatever he was feeling, he quickly dragged her upstairs like a puppeteer pulling her strings like a dangly marionette.

After a series of checks, the tension between them had gotten even more oppressive.

When the test report finally came out, the doctor came in. He clapped his hands together. "Congratulations! You've been pregnant for five weeks already, so you may have suffered from slight anemia..."

His words drifted into the back of her mind

as she widened her eyes.

The doctor might have noticed a certain shift between them because he stopped talking. "Are you planning on keeping the baby?"

Hearing this, Lea felt as if she had just snapped back to life.

Henry interrupted quickly, "We'll keep it. What else do we need to take care of?"

The doctor smiled and told them a series of things that they should watched out for before letting them off.

Even as they were finally done with the checkup, Lea still felt as if she was in a trance. As she went down the steps, she stumbled onto the floor and almost lost her balance.

Henry pulled her back immediately. "Lea!"

Her face had gone rapidly pale as she held onto his arm.

"I... I'm okay." she stuttered.

Henry was relieved. When they got back into the car, Lea took the report from her bag.

It seemed that she was pregnant!

She had been pregnant for five weeks now!

Lea closed her eyes and pressed her hand against her flat abdomen. At the sight of this, Henry gripped the steering wheel tightly.

Although he was driving, his thoughts drifted onto Lea and their unborn child.

Am I... going to be a father?1

When he heard the news, he calculated the days himself.

She had been incredibly irritable lately. In fact, they'd recently fought a lot.

When they were in the doctor's office, he had asked the doctor a series of questions.

Luckily, Lea was healthy even at such an early stage. They could examine the embryo in a few weeks.

Henry was delighted.

All he could think about was the family that he was about to have. He even thought about marrying the woman right next to him.

He turned to Lea, only to see her staring blankly ahead.
