The following morning, under Lucian’s insistence, Roxanne relented and allowed him to drive her to the hospital. Madilyn assumed that her superior was conducting a sudden inspection, so she politely invited both of them into her office.
She gathered her recent work records in a neat stack and handed them to Roxanne. “Boss, here you go. You should consider raising my salary!”
Roxanne rolled her eyes before murmuring that she might be pregnant again. Madilyn’s jaw dropped wide open in shock, but she soon regained her composure and beamed in delight. “I’m going to have another godchild!
That’s great!” She turned to Lucian and gave him the thumbs- up. “Congratulations, Mr. Farwell!” Pleased, Lucian smiled and bobbed his head gently. Roxanne pouted at his reaction. Why does he look so smug?
“So you’re saying that you came here early in the morning for a checkup to examine the baby’s condition? Why would you come to the hospital? You can use a pregnancy test strip. It is inadvisable to use equipment to check your pregnancy since you have only just become pregnant,” Madilyn told them.
Roxanne shot Lucian a pointed look. “See? I told you so, didn’t I? You didn’t have to go to such lengths.” Lucian could only listen to Madilyn’s advice as she was the hospital director. Soon, the pregnancy test strip showed that Roxanne was indeed pregnant.
“Okay. Please take good care of my best friend, Mr. Farwell. If you’re looking for advice on how to take care of her, you should make sure to attend the classes offered at the obstetrics and gynecology department every week. These classes will provide you with tips and advice on how to best care for pregnant women,” Madilyn promoted her hospital’s services.
She was actually joking, but to her surprise, Lucian gave a solemn nod. “Okay. Sign me up, Madilyn. From this week onward, I’ll attend the classes to learn how to be a good father,” he promised.
“Are you sure?” Madilyn blinked. Roxanne nodded in all seriousness. “I can vouch that he’s telling the truth. You should charge him a high price for your services!”
Thus, Lucian signed up for the classes and was required to attend two thirty-minute sessions per week. After leaving the hospital, Lucian hopped into the car and began driving, his excitement palpable. He asked Roxanne if she’d like to visit the shopping mall with him, eager to begin purchasing items for their unborn child.
“Honey, you’re already a father of three. This isn’t your first time. There’s no need to be this excited, right?” The man’s reaction left Roxanne speechless, for she thought it wasn’t necessary.
Lucian disregarded her and muttered to himself, “After buying new clothes, we must remember to launder them several times to ensure they are free from germs. Let’s.not forget to preserve a memento of the baby’s footprint. Have you done that for Archie and Benny previously?”
Roxanne gave a helpless shrug. When they arrived home, Jonathan’s car was already parked outside. They walked into the living room to see Jonathan boiling some water there. As usual, he was here to enjoy some coffee with Lucian.
“Jonathan, why are you free to pay us a visit today? I thought you were traveling?” Lucian asked. It had been a while since they last saw each other, so Lucian noticed some changes in Jonathan. He appeared to be more at ease and more vivacious than usual.
“Lucian, Roxanne, where did you go? I let myself in since you weren’t around,” Jonathan greeted them with a smile.
“You don’t have to inform us in advance. You can come whenever you want. I have stashed some premium coffee beans that I want to share with you. Let’s have a taste.”
With that, Lucian headed into the kitchen. The coffee beans had to be kept in a cooling place to prevent them from going bad.
