Chapter 431
The doctor reiterated, “Though the fetus is developing well, you, as the mother, are a bit run down. Make sure to rest, eat nutritious food, don’t overwork, and keep a positive mood. The family should also cooperate and take good care of you!”
“Don’t worry, doc. We’ve got this covered!” Chase reassured the doctor with a beaming smile.
Ellinor felt a bit dazed as she walked out of the clinic. The pregnancy had caught her off guard.
She and Theo had only spent one night together. That night, Theo was under the influence of a love potion made by Sheila, which would have severe side effects if not consummated Therefore, she had no choice but to step in
But who would have thought that just one night would result in a baby?
Ellinor was barely twenty and just out of her teens. She was far from thinking about marriage and children The fact that she was pregnant was like a punch in the gutt Moreover, she wasn’t fond of kids, she thought they were little monsters that disrupted everything like unpredictable ticking time bombs.
She had so many things to do and didn’t want this ticking bomb to be her lifelong worry and weakness
But oddly enough, the notion of having a baby brought a sweet sensation that slowly spread in her heart.
She couldn’t help but reminisce about that night, how Thea held her tightly, how he was restless yet restrained, and how he tried his best not to hurt her while being driven by the potion
That gentle and sexy man had made her blush and her heart flutter in bed.
She wondered if Theo would be thrilled to learn about her pregnancy Would he be overjoyed and speechless at the thought of becoming a father?
She couldn’t exactly predict his reaction. All she wanted was to see him right away. Theo had been away on a business trip for half a month; he should be back soon, right?
She would tell him when he returned
Otherwise, if Theo got a call about her pregnancy, he would likely drop everything and rush back home! She didn’t want to disrupt his work:
Chase teased ‘Ellinor, you’re going to be a mom soon. Excited much?”
Ellinor snapped back to reality and yawned, “I feel pretty good!”
Chase carefully held Ellinor’s arm, “Ellinor, be careful! The floor’s just been cleaned and it’s a bit slippery. I’ve got you; don’t stir up the baby!”
Ellinor rolled her eyes. I’m not that delicate!”
Ida, holding Ellinor’s medical records, followed closely. “Ellinor, you’re pregnant; let Chase help you! The doctor already told you that you’re weak; you need to take care of yourself!*
Speaking of which, Ellinor was a bit hungry. She didn’t want something heavy like meat or fish, just something light and refreshing.
Suddenly Chase spotted something, “Ellinor, look there! That man over by the pediatric department looks like your Mr. Blanchet!”
Ellinor paused, followed Chase’s gaze, and there he was. The height, the perfect V–shaped physique, the elegant yet imposing posture, if not Theo, who else could it be?
Chase clicked his tongue, “Mr. Blanchet is back? Did he know about your pregnancy and come to the pediatric department to get a head start on how to be a dad?”
