I just smiled and Dennis took over her suitcase. Arm in arm, Diana touched my belly and said, “It’s close to six months, and it grew bigger.”
I glanced at hers. It’s impossible to notice she was pregnant without a scrutiny, as she wore in baggy.
“Why did you come back so sudden.” I smiled, thinking she would not return until she gave a birth in the countryside.
“Because Alex is coming soon! I am back for him. It’s been a long time that I haven’t seen him. I kind of miss him.” she looked much better.
Dennis walking in front us with the suitcase, she whispered, “Are you guys OK now?”
“I don’t know, because Olivia’s back. I am not sure what will happen in the future.” said I with a shrug.
“Fuck!” she just lost her temper, “That woman has already been rich, hasn’t she? Why doesn’t she stay in Hensley Town to keep her status? Why does she come back for troubles?”
“Maybe she is for taking over Mrs. Knight’s job.” I was not sure what would take place since Olivia was back. Generally speaking, I felt unsettled.
She shot out her lips, “she’s just haunting.”
Silent as I was, I thought about Alex and said, “Did Alex tell you when he’s coming?”
She denied, “No.”
In the parking lot, I asked Dennis, “Did Miss Pearson leave?”
He nodded, “Toby drove her away. Get in the car, please.”
In the car.
“What would you like to eat?” asked Dennis.
It’s 12 o’clock, lunch time.
I found Diana was tired for the long trip, and answered, “whatever”.
Nodding, Dennis drove us to the downtown, parked the car down to a Japanese restaurant, after which he turned his head to me and asked, “How about Japanese food?”
I faced to Diana for her opinion, “ Is it OK for you?”
“Sure,” she nodded.
Off the car, Diana got close to me and whispered, “Have you kept in this way recently?”
“Pretty much!” admitted I.
“Oh my God!” said she who slapped her forehead, “you are like a couple who has lived together for many decades.”
I was dumbfounded, “what?”
“It’s not love love, but family love.” she curled her lips.
I...
It did not take a long time to serve our dishes since we ordered in the restaurant.
Dennis ordered a bowl of minced pork congee for me out of the reason that the pregnant was not allowed to have mustard - too spicy.
It might because I had had too much congee, I had little of it without appetite. The left was eaten by Dennis. There was nothing I had but few slices of salmon.
Diana had no appetite either. She was somehow confused about the way Dennis and I interacted.
After we drove her to YT Apartment, Dennis took me to the hospital.
There are numerous patients waiting in the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics. It was fortunate that we had made an appointment before, we did not need to wait in a line. I had to take various kinds of examination while Dennis had to wait outside.
By the ultrasonic inspection, the doctor looked at me hesitantly, upon which, I thought the baby might be ill.
I stared at the doctor and said, “Doctor, is there anything wrong with the baby?”
She turned to me and admitted, “ Based on the image, the fetal heart rate is weak, indicating a sign of dysgenesis, while it should be strong as a 24-week fetal.”
“Ms. Kennedy, you must stay in a good mood and sleep with good quality, which are necessary. You have to understand your mood is closely related to the development of the baby.” she continued after a pause.
I nodded. What she said I understood completely, otherwise I would not seek help from Alex.
