When they arrived at the hospital, Madam Shaw led Susan straight to the specialist through the VIP channel.
Susan was clueless about the process, so she did not say anything when the doctor took an extra vial of blood from her.
The result for the general check-up was ready half an hour later, but the result for the DNA paternity test had to wait until the next day.
"Well, good news. The result came back clean. Both Mrs. Shaw and the baby are in good health," the doctor said, offering them a smile.
"That’s good to hear," Madam Shaw let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, doctor," Susan replied, a surge of relief washed over her face.
After that, Madam Shaw and Susan left the doctor's office. As they walked down the corridor, they bumped into Luke and Mandy.
'Why are they here?’
That was the first thought that came into Susan’s mind.
Luke's dull and lifeless eyes lit up the moment he saw Susan. He tried to suppress the excitement and
greeted, "Long time no see, Susie."
Just when Susan was about to say something, Mandy stepped up and coiled her arm around Luke's. Pouting her mouth, she then said in her low, thrilling voice," Hurry up, Luke. Dr. Moore is waiting for us. I can’t wait to know about the condition of our baby."
As she was speaking, she placed her hand gently over her stomach.
Instinctively, Susan glanced at Mandy's stomach and realization instantly dawned upon her. A genial smile crept onto her lips as she said calmly, "Are you expecting a baby? That's good. Congratulations to both of you!"
Luke's knuckles grew white as he clenched his fists. H e gnashed his teeth and tried to explain to Susan, " Listen to me, Susie. I..."
However, Madam Shaw gave him no chance to say a word. She interrupted coldly and said, "Susie, we have other stuff to do, so let's not waste our time here."
"Okay, Mom," Susan replied. Then, she nodded at Luke and Mandy and said, "Goodbye, Luke. Goodbye, Mandy."
With those words, Madam Shaw and Susan then left the hospital, leaving Luke to stare straight at Susan's back. His gaze was getting more and more intense as i f his eyes were going to burn through her.
He had fallen into his own world that he could not come to his senses even though Mandy had been
tugging at him.
A flush of indignation rose to her cheeks. However, she managed to keep the worst of her temple bridled. Taking a deep breath, she flashed a smile at Luke and said, "Luke, just now Madam Shaw and Susie seemed t o have come out from Dr. Moore's office too. Dr. Moore is the best obstetrician, so does it mean that Susan is pregnant too?"
'Susie... She is pregnant?'
Luke's vision seemed to have gone dark for a second a s he refused to believe it. Be that as it may, his rationality was telling him that Mandy's speculation was probably right. Considering the Straws' reputation in Ningcheng City, it went without saying that they would find the best doctor to take care of their family members' health. Dr. Moore might be the top obstetrician, but it did not mean that he excelled in other fields as well. Therefore, there was a high possibility that they came to find him for antenatal examination since he was the expert in maternity service.
'So does this mean that Susan is pregnant with Julian’s baby?'
When the thought flitted across Luke's mind, he felt a piercing pain in his chest as if someone was stabbing his heart.
"Alright, let's go in,” Mandy pulled Luke.
"Hold on, Mandy." Luke said, "I suddenly remember I have something urgent to take care of. You go to see D r. Moore first, I’ll catch up with you later."
Then, without waiting for Mandy to say anything, Luke turned around and dashed towards the entrance.
"Luke!" Many shouted angrily. She tried to stop Luke but to no avail. He did not even turn his head once and he soon left her sight.
She stomped her feet in frustration.
"Susan, Susan, Susan!" she bit out through gritted teeth.
She did not believe Luke at all when he said he had something urgent to do. She was certain he must have gone to chase after Susan.
Only Mandy knew how difficult it was for her to bear Luke's child. She had to go to the extent of drugging him or else he would never have sex with her.
Initially, she thought Luke would change his mind and settle down with her after she was pregnant, but apparently, she was wrong.
