Meanwhile, at the hospital.
Alex booked an appointment for Grace that was in a hospital different from Cindy's.
He deliberately avoided the hospital where Cindy was staying.
After doing a series of blood tests, they had to wait for the results. Grace was nervous and her emotions were in turmoil.
She was not sure if she was really pregnant.
Even though she had been pregnant before, she had no idea if she was really pregnant this time round. Other than feeling sleepy and having a change of appetite recently, she did not experience any other symptoms.
She honestly had no idea if she was pregnant or not.
Frankly, she did not want to have any more children.
'But what if I really am pregnant?' She thought to herself.
In truth, she was secretly hoping that she was pregnant. The idea of a cute baby calling out for her with its chubby, soft cheeks sounded enticing to her.
She figured that any middle-aged person would be ecstatic if they were able to give birth to another child.
As she contemplated over the idea, she heard someone call out, "The results are out. It seems like she's pregnant. She should get another ultrasound scan just to make sure."
"She's pregnant?" Heinz was pleasantly surprised. He hurriedly reached out for Grace's hand and exclaimed in excitement, "Honey, did you hear that? You might be pregnant!"
Grace was evidently surprised as well as she looked into Heinz's eyes, muttering, "Really?"
"It seems like it. Let's get you over to the ultrasound room," Heinz proceeded to do so.
After Grace's ultrasound results came out, the doctor was certain that she was expecting children. Everything felt like a dream.
"She's pregnant with twins."
"Twins?" Heinz echoed back.
"Yes, twins," The doctor nodded with a smile.
When Grace heard that she was having twins, her mind went blank. Soon after that, she felt joy fill her heart. She felt euphoric for a short moment.
As the news had been really unexpected and shocking, she felt herself grow a little dizzy.
Grace was truly surprised.
The uneasiness she felt from before had instantly dissipated.
She was suddenly extremely ecstatic.
She was still in a daze as Heinz helped her off the bed.
When Grace took another look at the two fetuses on the sonogram, a proud grin began to form on her face.
She was going to have two more kids.
She couldn't help herself from letting out a hearty laugh.
Grace was really happy.
When Grace and Heinz walked back to the car, broad grins were still plastered on their faces.
Alex congratulated Heinz, "President Jones, congratulations to you and your wife! I can't believe you're having twins. Your wife's amazing! I can't believe she's going to be having twins again. She must be a record breaker."
"Of course! My wife is nothing but amazing," Heinz was also very proud, "It's really rare, isn't it?"
"It is indeed," Alex let out a soft sigh, "I think Madam Grace should go back early to get some
rest."
"I know," Heinz said before reminding, "Keep a close eye on Cindy."
"Understood. I haven't taken my eyes off her since I've been here," Alex knew that Cindy was a cunning woman, so he was extra precautions.
Very quickly, Heinz drove Grace back home.
After returning home, Grace was treated like a princess. Heinz brought her food and drinks and did everything she asked.
Before Heinz could call Gary on the phone to tell him the good news, Gary had beaten him to it.
"How was it? Is mom pregnant?" At the company, Gary heard from Alex that Grace had just completed her checkup.
After he heard the news, he immediately called Heinz to ask about Grace.
"Take a guess," Heinz wanted to keep Gary on his toes.
"From your smug tone, I'm pretty sure that she is pregnant, isn't she?" Gary knew Heinz well.
Heinz beamed, "You know me too well. Oh Gary, it's true! I'm going to father more children once more. Your mother is having twins again."
Gary was stunned to hear that. A little surprised, he echoed back, "Twins again?"
