Yasmine's heart wavered when she heard what her mother-in-law had said. In fact, she had wanted to give birth to a child for Sebastian Simons since a long time ago.
"What do you think? Shall we go now?"
Madam Simons' sharp eyes could immediately tell with one glance that her daughter-in-law's heart was already wavering. At that instant, she took the opportunity to encourage Yasmine to do a check up at the hospital. Yasmine hesitated for a moment, and then finally agreed, "Well, alright. Let's have a quick check up then."
Yasmine and Madam Simons then went to a gynecology hospital at the city center. After registering, Yasmine anxiously waited for her name to be called. Madam Simons noticed that she was nervous so she comforted her, "Don't be afraid. It's just a simple check-up. Just thinking that you are about to be a mother soon might help to ease your nerves."
"Okay."
Yasmine nodded. It was finally her turn. She got up and walked into one of the doctor's rooms.
After a series of tests, she sat down in front of the doctor and asked nervously, "Doctor, is everything alright?"
"We would have to wait until all the test results are out before we can know if there's a problem or not. But so far, there hasn't been a problem at all with the results that we've got. The only problem we have now is that your body is relatively weak, so I'll prescribe some homeopathic supplements for you. You just need to take them on time.
"Okay."
She breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "How many more of the test results do I have to wait for?"
"Two."
"When can I know the results?"
"You can come back in 3 days."
"Oh, okay."
She took the prescription from the doctor and walked out of the consultation room. Her mother-in-law, who was waiting outside the door, looked anxious. When she saw her coming out, she immediately went forward and asked, "How was it? What did the doctor say?"
"I still need to wait for the remaining test results, but there is no problem at all for the time being. The doctor only said that my body is a bit weak so he prescribed me some homeopathic supplements."
"Great, I knew that there wouldn't be any problem. What about the supplements? Do you know how to decoct them? Ah, don't worry about it, I'll send a servant to take care of you."
"There's no need Mom. I've known how to decoct these medical herbs for my mother since I was twelve so I'm very familiar with it."
The two of them walked out of the hospital while chatting. After saying goodbye to her mother-in-law, Yasmine then returned to the villa.
After returning home, she slept through the whole afternoon and only got up in the evening. After the nap, she went to the supermarket to get some groceries for tonight's dinner so she could cook dinner for her husband as a token of appreciation for working so hard.
Sebastian had finally returned home after a busy day. As soon as he stepped into the house, he could instantly smell a strong aroma. He tracked down the smell and arrived at the kitchen. He suddenly hugged Yasmine's waist from behind, which startled her a little. She then smiled and said grumpily, "You're just like a ghost. How come there's no sound at all when you walk?"
"I just wanted to give you a surprise."
He buried his head in her long hair, smelling the fragrance of her hair.
"I'm the one who's supposed to give you a surprise, though?"
"Yes, I am indeed very surprised. My wife is cooking tonight so it will be a great meal."
"If you want to enjoy a good meal, you can go to the living room and wait. I'll call you when it's ready."
"How long will it take?"
"Around an hour."
"That's so long, I'm already hungry. I wasn't even full last night." Sebastian complained.
"Where did you have you dinner last night?" "On the balcony," he said playfully.
Yasmine was stunned and couldn't respond to his words at that instant. When she finally came back to her senses, she raised her foot and kicked him angrily. "You're so annoying. Get out of here."
"Okay, I'll go out. Don't kick me, you're kicking your husband."
Yasmine raised the spatula in her hand. "Are you still trying to mess around with me? I'll knock your teeth out."
"Wow, you are really such a beauty. You still look so good even when you are angry. Actually, you don't have to work so hard in the kitchen. You already look like a delicious meal yourself. You know you can just feed me sexually with your body, right?" Sebastian said flirtatiously.
Before a frying pan could fly in his direction, Sebastian had already escaped to the living room.
After a while, he returned to the kitchen again. "Honey, what's this?"
He held the plastic bag in his hand and asked with a puzzled look.
Yasmine glanced at it and answered casually, "Those are supplements. Can't you see it with your own eyes?"
"Are you not feeling well?" he asked nervously as he walked over to her.
"I'm fine, I just want to get pregnant as soon as possible, so I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said that my body is a little weak, so he gave me this so that my body can get stronger." Sebastian's face suddenly darkened and he said angrily, "What kind of doctor is this? It's nonsense. My wife is the healthiest woman in the world. How can you be weak? I think he is the one who is weak."
"Humph."
Yasmine smiled and said grumpily, "What the doctor says is always right. Otherwise, how could he be a doctor?"
"The people at the hospital really have no conscience. In order to make money, they can just make up some problems even though you're not sick at all. Don't be fooled by them. Don't take these supplements, what if something goes wrong after taking them?."
"I think you are just overthinking. No matter how ruthless the people at the hospital are, they won't deliberately hurt anyone's health. It's fine, Mom said that she had taken these supplements before."
Sebastian's face darkened again. "What have you been doing behind my back?"
Yasmine realized that she had accidentally blurted out something that she shouldn't have said, so she immediately changed the topic and said, "It's ready, we can eat now. Let's start eating."
"If I tell you not to take those supplements, then don't take it. Just see how I'll deal with you if anything happens to you."
Yasmine thought that Sebastian was just joking with her. However, when she woke up the next morning, she found out that he had deliberately hidden the supplements somewhere in the house. She really didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his behavior.
In the morning, she received a phone call from Scott Jules. When the call came, she was writing an article on how to alleviate the student's stress on her computer. Scott was not the kind of person who would pester her persistently, so he usually wouldn't disturb her unless there was something important.
"Hello, Principal Jules, what's the matter?"
"Miss Taylor, are you free tonight?"
"Why?"
"Let's have a meal together."
"Didn't we just have a meal?"
"Can't we have another meal together?" He asked.
"But I'm a married woman. It would be inappropriate for me to eat with another man all the time."
"Are you kidding me? Why does it sound like you are living in the 70's ? Getting married or divorced is such a common thing nowadays, don't you think that you are a little too conservative and outdated when you say those words?"
Yasmine took a deep breath. "I don't think so."
Scott touched his forehead and sighed. "Then according to what you have said, wouldn't it mean that married people can't be friends with the opposite sex anymore? Are they going to be isolated from the world then?"
"That's not true. It's just that there has to be a boundary. It's been a long time since I went out to have dinner with my husband. If I agree to you this time, it would be the second time that I've gone out for dinner with you this week."
"Do you need to be so clear about everything? Are you coming or not?"
"If you have a reasonable reason, then I will think about it."
