The elevator door finally opened, and Carlos already stood right before the door. He’s welcoming Bella and Tristan. He greeted them kindly, but Bella didn’t pay attention to him. She just gave a faint smile before becoming distracted, observing the empty, spacious lounge before her eyes.
She felt odd. No other patients were waiting in the lounge, and only a handful of staff were on standby. The staff seemed reluctant to look at them. Or, perhaps they are all afraid to see Tristan?
’Huh!? Did we come too early?’ Bella wondered as she changed her line of sight. And still didn’t see any patients around.
Bella set aside her strange feelings and focused on the long corridor ahead. She walked alongside Tristan, who was talking to Carlos. They were discussing her test results and condition, making her nervous.
Suddenly, her mind was filled with a mix of emotions. She felt excited but also frightened, as if several butterflies were flying around in her stomach, and they were having a party. It was hard for her to describe her feelings at that moment.
’Stay calm, Bella... Stay calm,’ she repeated to herself a few times to try to lessen her worry.
Tristan stopped talking to Carlos when he felt Bella’s hand grow cold. Glancing at her, he was surprised to see her pale face and stiff expression. He abruptly halted and touched her shoulder to get her to look at him.
"My wife, Bella," Tristan called her name tenderly. When he saw her worried gaze staring back at him, he smiled. "Breathe, dear, breathe. Don’t be nervous, huh? We will meet the best OB-GYN in the country. Nothing will happen to our child.
Everything will be okay."
Bella said nothing but immediately followed Tristan’s instructions to take a deep breath.
Tristan’s heart ached even more when he saw his wife’s expression like this. He imagined this had happened to her in the past when she was pregnant with their first son, and he wasn’t there to comfort her. Like now, he will never stop blaming himself every time he sees her.
After seeing her look better and not as tense as before, they continued walking and finally arrived in front of the examination room door that Bella was familiar with.
Carlos, who announced their arrival and the nurse, finally opened the door.
"Good morning, Dr. Robinson. The VVIP patient I told you about has finally arrived," Carlos said while letting Tristan and Bella enter the room.
The senior female doctor stood from her seat, looking friendly but full of curiosity. However, her curiosity instantly faded, replaced by a shocked expression when she looked closely at Bella and Tristan as they walked in.
"Oh my god, Tristan... Bella...is that you...oh my, heaven..." She said in disbelief upon seeing these two figures enter the room.
She hadn’t expected the secret VVIP patients she’d be handling this morning would be none other than Tristan and Bella. She had been Bella’s doctor in the past, but five years ago, Bella suddenly stopped visiting her. The news she had heard was that they had separated.
"Hello, Aunty Kelsey. Yes, it’s us...And thank you for having us with such short notice," Tristan greeted her politely while holding Bella’s hand tightly. He could feel his wife’s nervousness.
The senior doctor and Bella looked shocked when they saw each other. Bella hadn’t expected her old OB-GYN doctor, Kelsey Robinson, to be the one taking care of her today.
Kelsey frowned. She remembered hearing from Jessica Sinclair that they had already divorced, so Bella no longer came to meet her for regular check-ups.
"I’m sorry, Tristan, Bella, but I heard some rumors about both of you—"
"Aunty Kelsey, don’t listen to those baseless rumors," Tristan said as he squeezed Bella’s hand. "We are here to ask you to check on my wife’s pregnancy."
Once again, Kelsey Robinson was shocked beyond words.
’Bella is pregnant?’ she thought while gazing at Bella.
It took a few seconds for Kelsey Robinson to process Tristan’s words.
"OMG! Bella, are you really pregnant?" Kelsey Robinson asked, wanting to ensure she hadn’t misheard.
"Yes, Doc. But I want you to check it first to make sure," she smiled.
Tristan chimed in as he explained the blood test Carlos did on Bella a few days ago. The test result indicated she was pregnant, so they came here today.
