Chapter 491
Just like that, for liveliness, Sherri stayed with the Landor family for the next half a month while Rose carried on her plan. On January 35, she would stay at the Roberts family’s place on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Then, she would stay at the Landor family’s residence on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Sunday, she would stay at her small home with Edward. Unknowingly, a month had passed. Edward picked Rose up and down from work on time every day before they both went
home.
Rose was working at Athana Hospital.
During lunch break, Rose was about to follow the receptionist to the canteen for lunch. Just as she stood up from the seat, she felt dizzy, and her vision went black.
It was dark before her, and she could not see anything. Her vision was black for a few seconds, but Rose did not panic. She placed her hands on the table to relieve herself for a while.
After a while, she could see again. She lifted her wrist and looked at the date on her watch. If her guess was correct, it might be because of that.
Recently, she had been so happy and busy that she had forgotten about her period cycle. She could only get an answer after going for a check-up.
If it weren’t and she had told Edward, Edward would be disappointed. She didn’t want him to be disappointed.
After lunch, Rose signed up for an obstetrics and gynecology department appointment. Because she often stayed in Sherri’s consultation room, many of the doctors around Sherri knew her. She asked the doctor to help write a list of tests and asked the nurse to help take her blood.
She had to go to work in the afternoon, so she could only use her privilege as a colleague.
Rose was very popular in the hospital. She was low-key, amiable, and easy to get along with. The people from the laboratory department were willing to help her do the test. After a while, the results were out.
She had been nervously waiting for the results. Rose paced back and forth in front of the laboratory door. There was a click, and the door opened.
The colleague from the laboratory department came out with the report, smiled, and handed it to Rose. “Congratulations, you’re pregnant.”
Before Rose saw the report, she already had some guesses. However, she was still secretly delighted when she heard her colleague’s words. She suppressed the joy in her heart and took the list. She took a look and subconsciously placed her hand on her belly and touched it.
Her colleagues laughed. “You must be overjoyed. Your husband must be even happier. Prepare for this surprise.”
Amidst her joy, Rose did not forget to thank the staff politely. “Thank you. I’ll treat you to a milkshake next time.” She could buy them drinks even if she could not drink them herself.
As expected, it was definitely abnormal for her period to go haywire. It was either a hormone imbalance, or she was pregnant.
On the way back to the consultation room, Rose was thinking about how to tell Edward about this gift.
Giving him the report was not enough. It would not be romantic enough, nor was it surprising enough.
She lowered her head to look at the report in her hand and fell into deep thought. Just as she reached the door of the outpatient clinic, an idea flashed through her mind.
She quickly pushed open the door and entered the consultation room. Then, she opened the delivery app and prepared something.
It was time to get off work.
Rose was in a good mood. She greeted everyone she knew with a smile on her face. She was holding a black bag in her hand. There was something unknown in it. It looked square, and the box was quite big.
The nurse passing by was also quite curious. “Dr. Roberts, what did you buy?”
Rose only told her half the truth. “It’s a gift for my husband. I’m getting off work. Bye.”
“Bye.” The nurse even turned to look at the gift in Rose’s hand. It was black, and she did not know what it was.
Edward came to pick her up on time. Ever since he dated Rose, he was already a man who got back and forth from work on time.
As soon as the alarm rang, he got up and left the office. Kyle, the poor assistant, did the rest of the work. Edward was meticulous. He was afraid that Rose would not be used to being married. With him around, she would feel more at ease.
Moreover, Rose had a chauffeur to pick her up every day before she got married. She couldn’t ask the Roberts family’s chauffeur to pick her up after she married him. It was unreasonable and irresponsible.
Edward helped her with the seatbelt in the car and skillfully buttoned it. “Do you want to eat at home or in the restaurant?” Wasn’t she going back to the Landor family today? Logically speaking, her mother-in-law had already prepared delicious food.
Edward started the car and said gently, “Mom said it’s up to you. If you want to go home for dinner, go home. You don’t have to follow the plan every day.”
“What’s that in your hand? Did you buy anything?”
Rose had been distracted by the dinner topic just now. Now that he asked, she began to feel excited again. She hid her surprise. “About this, I’ll show you when we get home. You can’t open it now.”
Looking at his wife’s mysterious expression, Edward’s curiosity was piqued. “It’s so mysterious. Is it a pet in this big box?” Weren’t humans high-level animals? The embryo on this list should be considered a germinating small animal. “Yes, it’s a little high-level. I’ll show it to you when I get home.”
“Let’s go home and eat. I’ll show Daddy and Mommy my gift.”
Edward asked, “Isn’t the gift for me?”
At the traffic light, Edward turned around and glanced at the black bag. Why did Rose say that it was a small animal? It did not even move. It made him wonder if it was asleep.
Rose pretended not to notice Edward’s sneaky glance. “Is Sherri home?”
“Yes, she’s here. No one will miss out on her.” She was the happiest every day.
