“Nope, Mr. Tylinski drove me here.”
“Please wait for a moment. Let me go get the car keys.” As soon as he finished saying that, Carl swiped the front door open and entered the house.
A long silence ensured.
About two minutes later, he returned with a pair of car keys for Rayna.
“When I was at the garage the other time, I saw Mr. Curtis’ flashy sports car. Come on, let’s take it for a spin.” His face was beaming with joy.
Rayna did not know how to react. She stared at the keys in his hand and queried, “Aren’t you afraid of getting punished for taking his keys without permission?”
“Not at all because Mr. Curtis dotes on me.”
Rayna was rendered speechless. In the end, she gave in, took the keys, and headed to the garage.
When she saw the Pagani, she was reminded of that one embarrassing incident when she threw up in the car after getting drunk.
As she had dirtied his car seat, she even had to compensate him with money.
It had been a long while since that happened, and she never expected that she would get to sit in that same car again, let alone drive it.
Rayna felt rather uneasy as the past memories came back to haunt her.
Upon entering the car, she remembered the dog was with them.
Before she could get Carl to lead Lucky back to the house, the dog had already positioned itself beneath the car seat, leaning comfortably on Carl’s lap.
The corner of Rayna’s lips twitched when she saw that. “How did it manage to squeeze itself into the car? That’s impressive.”
“Hurry up and start the engine, Ms. Rayna!” urged Carl.
He noticed Rayna’s bulging stomach after she put on her seatbelt and asked inquisitively, “Ms. Rayna, your tummy looks bloated.”
Taken aback, Rayna looked at her baby bump.
She had been so busy managing the affairs of Sanders Group that she had forgotten how Wyatt pushed her and caused her tummy to hit the sharp corner of the desk.
“Oh yes, that’s right. I’m pregnant, you see.” Rayna replied while igniting the car engine, “I’m not feeling too good. Let’s make a trip to the hospital before going to get some groceries.”
Carl was stunned at first, but he became very excited the next moment. “Really? How many babies are in your tummy, Ms. Rayna?”
“I’m pregnant with triplets.”
“Wow!” Carl’s eyes widened in shock. “It must be hard to carry three babies.”
Rayna flashed him a smile. “It’s not too bad. Are you happy that you’re going to have a wife?”
Carl nodded. Suddenly, he recalled something and asked, “Ms. Rayna, are the triplets Mr. Curtis’ children?”
“Is that important?” Rayna side-eyed the little fellow. “Have you forgotten what you said? Are you going to reject them should they don’t belong to Curtis?”
Carl shook his head vigorously. “No, no. It’s not easy to get a wife these days, especially one who looks as gorgeous as you. Let’s go to the hospital now.”
Rayna chuckled at the boy’s remark.
After arriving at the hospital, Rayna proceeded to register herself with a specialist and waited for about half an hour for her turn.
She informed the doctor about how old were the babies as well as the mishap that happened in the morning.
Meanwhile, Carl was counting with his fingers.
So, that’s how long Ms. Rayna’s been pregnant. In that case, the babies clearly don’t belong to Mr. Curtis. Then, who’s the father?
Carl was dejected.
After an hour-long examination, Rayna was relieved to learn that the babies were all right.
When she was about to leave, the gynecologist stopped her in her tracks. “I should prescribe you some medicines. Make sure you take them regularly.”
“Okay. Thank you so much.”
Rayna noticed that the doctor’s hand was trembling slightly when the latter was using the mouse. “Your hand is shaking. Have you been overworking? Should I get you a nurse?” she asked, her tone laced with worry.
“I’m fine, thank you. I’ll knock off after seeing one more patient. Please proceed to the first floor to collect your prescriptions and make payment.”
Subsequently, Rayna left without saying anything else.
“How’s it, Ms. Rayna?” Carl strode toward her and asked, “Are the triplets healthy and well?”
“They are doing great. Let’s go to the first floor to get the medicine.”
“I have my credit card with me. Let me go get it for you. You must be tired.” Swiftly, Carl took the prescription note from Rayna’s hand and hurried away.
