Chapter 1416
Everett's words hit home, making perfect sense. Dorothy found herself unable to argue, and just nodded in agreement. "Alright, your call."
She was over staying in the hospital anyway, especially after running into that lady.
Compassion aside, Dorothy preferred to keep her distance from her intrusive behavior.
Because of Everett's obsession with cleanliness, every time Dorothy came in for an ultrasound, the room had to be thoroughly disinfected first. With the nurse and Everett's assistance, Dorothy carefully climbed onto the bed.
The doctor gently glided the ultrasound probe over her belly.
Soon, the sound of a heartbeat filled the ultrasound room!
Thump, thump...
A strong, healthy beat.
Everett stared at the monitor, watching the fluctuating heart rate graph, and couldn't help but ask, "Is that... is that the heartbeat of the baby inside my wife?" "Yes, Mr. Lopez, your child is very healthy! Look at the strength of that heartbeat!"
Dorothy looked up at him and grasped his wrist, "What's wrong?"
"I... I just find it so amazing."
There's a child in there.
Their child!
The doctor glanced at Everett, then took a moment to review the information on the screen about Dorothy, "The form says this is your second child, right?" "Yeah, it's our second," Dorothy said with a smile.
She understood the doctor's confusion.
Everett's reaction seemed like it was his first time experiencing his wife's pregnancy.
In reality, it was his first time being present for this, though not his first time becoming a father.
Once the check-up was over, aside from Dorothy's slightly low weight, everything else was normal. Everett finally breathed a sigh of relief neatly placing the reports back into their folder.
On the drive back, Dorothy was in high spirits, unaffected by the earlier
commotion. However, as the ca
passed a supermarket, she suddenly had a craving.
"Everett, I want an ice cream."
"...The doctor said you shouldn't eat anything too cold."
"I know, but I really want one right now!" Normally, she wouldn't crave it, but today was different.
Though Everett protested, he still pulled over to the side of the road.
"Only half of one."
"Deal!" Dorothy nodded eagerly, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Who would have thought she'd be this excited over ice cream? She wouldn't have even considered it before.
Everett returned from the supermarket with a strawberry-flavored cone in hand.
"How did you know I like strawberry?"
"Is there anything about you I don't know?"
Dorothy rolled her eyes.
It seemed there really wasn't anything he didn't know about her. This man was practically a mind reader.
Peeling off the wrapper, she took a

them!"
Watching her happy expression, Everett's lips curved into a smile.
That once cautious and somewhat insecure girl now finally felt safe and secure enough to be herself.
He loved that Dorothy now freely expressed her wants and desires.
No matter how childish or outlandish her wishes, Everett was more than happy to fulfill them.
