Chapter 730
From the corner of her eye, Cecilia saw her walking into the elevator in a daze, looking very strange. Didn't she dress up happily when she went out? She was a pregnant woman, but still flattered herself and even changed three sets of clothes!
Was it consultation room 3?
Cecilia looked at the door of the room in front of her, took off her mask, and rushed in taking a few big steps. At that time, a doctor in a white coat was recording something. A patient was sitting in front of him, and a nurse was measuring her blood pressure.
"Miss, you are not allowed to enter here. Please line up if you are here to see the doctor, and wait for your number to be called! If you are the family member of the patient, please wait outside!" A nurse stopped her.
Cecilia stuck out her head and checked inside, and pretended to be anxious and said,
"I'm sorry, doctor! I'm here to look for my sister-in-law. I went to the washroom only for a while. Did she leave after getting the results? I don't know what's going on, why didn't she wait for me? She also didn't answer my phone calls! My sister-in-law has been pregnant for almost five months, please don't let anything happen to her! If I can't find her and don't know what's going on, how can I explain it to my brother? They will definitely blame me! Doctor, my sister-in-law's name is Lindsay. Do you remember her? Are her results out? Is there anything wrong?"
While she was asking in concern, she pretended to wipe her tears pitifully. Upon hearing that, the doctor flipped the record in front to the previous page and said,
"Oh, I see! Your sister-in-law has left, and the fetal heart has stopped beating. You'd better go back and discuss with her to come to do the induction surgery as soon as possible. Or else, it will damage her health as well! Her health condition is very bad, and her foundation is very poor. She must be taken care of. Take it easy and persuade her to not to be too troubled..."
"What?"
Cecilia screamed in a shock and her face turned pale immediately. The baby was gone!
She didn't listen to what the doctor said after that, she just felt a little sad. When she walked out, she was also in a daze and her expression was full of regret.
Did her baby die in the womb? How could that happen?
She just didn't like her and wanted to annoy her, but she didn't want to hurt her baby! She shouldn't have quarrelled with a pregnant woman. What should she do then?
Cecilia had already decided to go home, but she was consumed with guilt. She called Waverly and made up an excuse to delay her trip home for another week. Then, she bought some health supplements before she went home.
When she reached home, Jeremy was already home, and there was laughter in the house.
In the hall, Cecilia stood there and was stunned for a long time.
Jeremy saw her first and greeted her, "Cecilia, you're home. Have you packed up your things?"
Seeing her carrying a lot of things in her hand, with some hanging on her arms, Jeremy went around the sofa, helped her to carry some and asked, "Are these for you to bring back home? Do you need me to send you?"
Looking at his happy and smiling face, Cecilia shook her head and said, "These... are for you! Thank you for your care, and I bothered you for so long..."
As she spoke, it was obvious that Cecilia was still confused. She blinked her eyes and stared at him. Why didn't he feel sad at all when the baby died?
"Silly girl, you're too courteous!" Jeremy said.
Jeremy saw that there were some pieces on her hair, so he helped to remove them and said with a smile,
"Isn't that what I should do? My father and uncle are old friends. If you need anything in the future, just tell me! Go wash your hands, change your clothes, and get ready to eat! Linds had ordered the kitchen to prepare a lot of dishes for your farewell!"
"Oh..." Cecilia answered.
In a daze, Cecilia walked upstairs. As she stepped on the stairs, she heard Lindsay's laughter, saying,
"Look, is it beautiful? And this one, isn't it cute?"
Turning her head, she saw Lindsay holding the clothes in one hand and the toy in the other hand with a happy face. Meanwhile, Jeremy was holding her, and shook the toy in front of her to tease her. Obviously, he was also very happy.
Stunned, she went back to her room. Cecilia opened her handbag and took out the blank medical record that she had bought, and pinched herself hard.
What was going on?
During the dinner, she didn't know if it was because she was about to leave, Lindsay didn't treat her with a bad attitude. There were many dishes and the atmosphere was harmonious.
"Eat more! You are now eating for two!" Jeremy said.
It was not until Jeremy spoke that Cecilia suddenly came back to her senses. She looked up and saw him taking some food for Lindsay. Lindsay also smiled and covered her mouth as if she had a nausea. Then she touched her stomach and answered,
"Okay..."
Cecilia suddenly felt a little puzzled as she glanced at her from the corner of her eyes. Had she misheard it? Or was this woman lying from the beginning? Otherwise, why would she still be able to laugh when the child was gone?
She looked at Jeremy again, who was still quite happy, which made Cecilia even more confused.
"What time is the pregnancy checkup tomorrow? I'll get ready for it earlier!"
Jeremy spoke again, and Cecilia
instinctively turned to Lindsay. She clearly saw her pausing for a moment and then she said, "No hurry. We can go in the afternoon. It's a routine check- up! I've already made an appointment. I'll go after an afternoon nap!"
"All right!" Jeremy replied.
Cecilia smelled something fishy going on. That night, she was also unusually quiet.
While taking the dishes, Jeremy also noticed it, and turned his eyes to her,
"What's wrong? Do you not like the dishes? Or are you reluctant to leave? Your studies are more important. When you are on holiday next time, you can ask Mr. Castle to let you come over!"
Looking at her, Jeremy would think of his sister and unconsciously adore her a little more. He said, "Have you packed up your things? I asked Linds to pick two sets of clothes for you as a small gift for you!"Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Cecilia stirred the dish in her plate and pursed her lips, "Thank you! Brother-in-law, can I stay for another week?"
That time, the two of them stared at her at the same time. It was Jeremy who spoke first, "What's wrong?"
"My sister is busy, and some things are not ready yet! She said that she will go home next week to see our parents. Her place is small, and I'm too lazy to move to her place... Can you let me stay for a few more days? I won't cause any trouble, and I can even pay rent, too!" Cecilia explained.
In an instant, Lindsay's face darkened, but given the situation, she couldn't say anything. However, it seemed that Jeremy wasn't bothered at all, and
said,
"I thought it was something else. No
wonder you looked so troubled all night! Let's eat! I don't mind. It's just you. I won't drive you away! When I'm not around during the day, better to have more people at home, so that Linds won't be too bored and depressed! It's all right if you have informed your sister..."
"Okay! Thank you, brother-in-law! Then, I'll stay for a few more days. Brother-in-law, let's eat!" Cecilia said.
She straightened up and took some dishes for Jeremy. Then, she also ate silently. Initially, she felt a little guilty and wanted to do something to compensate, but at that moment, she was more eager to find out the truth.
