Healing my disabled husband novel Chapter 876

Chapter 876 Really Gonna be Parents

The Torres Mansion.
Douglas stared at his phone screen, which had gone black after Ash hung up on him.
Martha came downstairs and saw Douglas with a gloomy expression. She asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? You look so unhappy."
Douglas reached out to Martha and pulled her onto his lap. He wrapped his big hand around her waist and said, "I don't know what Ash's doing everyday."
Upon hearing this, Martha understood immediately. "He called to say he won't be back for dinner?" she asked.
"Yeah," Douglas replied with a nod. He rested his chin on Martha's shoulder and said, "He's old enough but doesn't give us peace of mind."
Martha chuckled at that remark and rubbed Douglas' hair before saying, "Okay then. I'll go tell your Mom they're not coming back."
Douglas nodded but didn't let go of Martha yet again.
Every time he acted clingy like this, it left her helpless. So she kissed him on the face before getting up from his lap.
In the kitchen was a pot of braised pork belly simmering away. Its aroma filled the air and hit Martha's taste buds directly.
Before she could even speak though, she suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to vomit.
She quickly covered her mouth in shock as if something had turned upside down inside of her stomach. Mrs. Torres, Hattie Jones was worried sick about what was happening and called for help from one of their servants while chasing after Martha herself.
Douglas who had been sitting on the sofa saw both women run out in panic, so he got up too and followed them into the washroom where he heard retching sounds coming from inside.
Hattie kept patting Martha's back while asking what happened, but it seemed like all questions were pointless since all that mattered now was getting rid off whatever made the poor girl feel so sick.
Finally when everything settled down, Douglas helped Martha get up while giving her some water to rinse out mouth, but noticed how happy Hattie looked, which confused him greatly.
Martha also noticed how happy Hattie looked but couldn't understand why. It wasn't like anyone enjoyed seeing someone else feeling ill.
Hattie asked Douglas to help Martha out, and after she sat down on the sofa, she said, "Martha, how long has it been since you period?"
As soon as she said so, not to mention Martha was frightened, even Douglas was dumbfounded and didn't react for a long time.
Hattie was annoyed and amused seeing the two of them like this.
"What's wrong? Scared?" Hattie felt a little helpless.
Neither Douglas nor Martha were careless people, but they didn't even notice.
Martha finally realized what happened to her, but she still couldn't believe it.
She touched her stomach, looked at Hattie again, and asked tentatively, "Hattie, you mean I'm..."
"I'm not mistaken. Let's take a test in a while, and then go to the hospital for an examination." Hattie said.
For a moment, Martha didn't know how to react.
This was, she was really going to have Douglas' baby.
Looking up to meet Douglas' gaze, Martha opened her mouth and said, "We're really going to be parents."
