His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1014

"Of course not!" George denied hastily. "I'm sorry that we are being impolite. But I have to take my leave right now. Sula is not feeling well today, so I need to take her to the hospital. I'll visit you next time."

"You fiancee is sick?" Tim asked with a mix of surprise and concern in his voice. Then he added immediately, "Please go ahead! I wish everything is fine with her." George smiled courteously and walked ahead.

The next moment, George drove Sula to hospital. As he bypassed all the other cars and made way for his car to be on the fastest lane on its way to the hospital, he kept checking with Sula about her health condition. His anxious expression and caring behavior warmed Sula's heart.

She smiled and assured him, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

It took them precisely half an hour to reach the hospital. After making sure that Sula was in the safe supervision of the doctor who had started conducting her health check-up, George called Donna to inform her of Sula's illness.

During this entire period, George treated Sula with utmost care and concern. He didn't allow her to do anything. Instead, he finished all the formalities for her. Sula was immensely touched by this gesture. She felt loved and wanted like never before.

"Doctor, how is she now? What's wrong with her?" George asked in a concerned voice as he walked into the doctor's room. Waiting for a moment or two for the doctor to reply, he asked again, "How is she now?"

The doctor kept checking the reports and did not reply to him. George was startled to mark such a casual attitude on the doctor's part. He gazed back at Sula with a stern frown settling on his face. His face relaxed to see Sula in a rather contented state. He gestured for her to tell him what the doctor said. "Take it easy," Sula said. Sula assured him once again. She felt embarrassed to see the childlike anxiousness in George so much so that he could not even wait to get a reply to the question. She pulled his sleeve softly and said, "Take a seat."

"According to the reports, your wife is pregnant." After a moment of silence, the female doctor's voice echoed through the room, making George freeze at his place. She pushed up her large spectacles up her nose as she looked up nonchalantly at the already startled face of George and continued, "The baby is very healthy now. But you should still be cautious in the first three months. You'd better not have intercourse during this period. Remember to do regular check-ups in the hospital. Do you understand?"

"What... what did you just say?" George pulled himself out from the reverie and asked, "Did you just said that she is pregnant?"

"Yes." The doctor nodded. She noticed that George was utterly shocked without a hint of the delight of a father-to-be. She frowned as she took a quick glance over both George and Sula's face. "Is there any problem?" she asked.

Even Sula's face had a blank expression as she stared at the doctor with her jaw dropped. In all this time they had been intimate only for once, how could she... just be pregnant?

"Doctor, maybe there is a mistake? How can I be pregnant?" Sula gazed at the doctor looking utterly embarrassed.

"A mistake? Not a chance! The reports are clear enough. And besides, I am too much experienced to make such a mistake!" the doctor said sounding offended at Sula's remark. Then she glanced at George and Sula once again and narrowed her eyes in suspicion. She nodded her head slightly and asked, "Are you… unwilling to have it?"

She couldn't help looking down on this young couple. 'The young people are becoming more and more irresponsible now! If you were not prepared to be parents, why didn't you take measures to prevent the pregnancy in the first place?' she thought angrily.

She heaved a deep sigh and shook her head. "If you don't want the baby. Then turn left and..."

"Yes! Yes! We want the baby!" Before the doctor could even finish her words, George replied nodding vehemently. Yes! He sounded alert and completely in his senses as she said those words. His face slowly broke into a contented smile as he repeated, "We want the baby." Hearing his voice mingled with joy and excitement of a father-to-be, the doctor smiled and heaved a sigh of relief.

"George, you..." Sula mumbled. She still had the blank expression on her face. She was surprised that George was ready to accept the baby. She stared at George in astonishment.

"Sula, you just go and take a rest outside. This room is too stuffy for you. I'm going to talk to the doctor about some dos and don'ts. You just wait for me outside. It won't take long," George smiled at her as she obeyed him and walked out of the room quietly. "Don't go too far. I'll be with you soon."

Sula took slow and careful steps as she walked out of the doctor's room. Her mind was clouded with a lot of conflicting thoughts. She looked back at George's face with disbelief. The next moment she found herself sitting on the bench waiting for George.
