In the afternoon, Lucia accompanied Daphne to the hospital for a check-up. Although the results were not yet determined, there shouldn't be any surprises. Lucia was extremely happy and stayed outside while Daphne underwent further examinations, never leaving her side.
Just as Lucia was waiting outside the gynecology department, she unexpectedly ran into Lauren and Eve.
In the hallway, Lauren was leading Eve by the hand towards the gynecology department. Eve seemed reluctant and was basically being dragged along by Lauren, constantly protesting with her mouth.
"Lauren, I don't want to go see it. Please don't go."
But how could Lauren listen to her? A big man's footsteps towards the gynecologist were even more determined than the woman beside him.
"No, your health is more important. You must let the doctor take a look."
Eve's face turned red with embarrassment. Due to her physical condition, her menstrual cycle had always been irregular, but it hadn't caused any major problems. However, this time her period only lasted two days and she was a bit worried. She mentioned it on the phone to her sister and unexpectedly Lauren overheard the conversation and took her to the hospital for a check-up.
What a shame! She even asked Lauren to take her to the gynecology department! Eve kept yelling in her heart, but her small body was no match for Lauren's strength, and she was dragged all the way to the gynecology department by him.
Just as Lauren was about to say a few more words, he looked up and saw Lucia standing in front of the gynecology department. She was leaning against the door with her arms folded, looking at him and Eve with great interest.
Lauren was stunned for a moment.
When Lauren's footsteps came to a halt, Eve thought her resistance had worked. But when she looked up, she saw Lucia and her heart skipped a beat for a few seconds.
This woman was still so beautiful.
This was Eve's heartfelt admiration. In the pure corridor, Lucia stood at the door with a gentle smile, as if she were a painting. The light behind her seemed to be attracted by her and lingered on her shoulders, sacred and inviolable. Although Eve only had a few chance encounters with Lucia, every time she saw her, she felt more insecure about herself.
Unconsciously, Eve lowered her head and chose to ignore Lucia.
Lucia's insight was so sharp that her lips curved even more when she saw Eve's appearance.
She looked quite similar to the earlier Daphne, but both of them were pure-hearted people, so it was not surprising that they had a similar demeanor.
"How coincidental." Lauren finally realized and led Eve to greet Lucia.
"It's a coincidence that I didn't expect to meet you here with... Miss Davidson?" Lucia smiled and stared at the top of Eve's head.
Lauren noticed and pulled Eve behind him protectively, which made Lucia laugh out loud. Her eyes sparkled mischievously as she looked at Lauren, as if to say, "What? Are you afraid I'll eat her?"
Lauren realized that he was being overprotective, but Lucia knew how Lauren felt about Eve and understood Eve's insecurities in front of her. Unconsciously, he always wanted to protect her in front of her.
Just when the atmosphere between the three became eerie, the door of the gynecology department opened and Daphne walked out with a red face. She didn't know Lauren or Eve and only had eyes for Lucia.
"Lucia... it's confirmed... it's been a month."
As soon as she heard this news, Lucia couldn't wait to congratulate Daphne while holding her hand excitedly,
"That's great! Congratulations Daphne!"
Lucia's voice was clear and refreshing. Even Eve couldn't help but look up curiously when she heard how happy she was. She saw her smiling like a starry sky which instantly eased even her own mood; wrinkles on her forehead smoothed out immediately. Meanwhile, Lauren also witnessed this wonderful scene with amazement.
Can laughter be so healing? But when he looked at Lucia himself, he couldn't help showing a slight smile between her picturesque eyebrows and eyes.
Realizing that he was actually infected by Lucia's smile, Lauren felt as if he had been proved wrong.
No wonder Arthur loved her so much.
"Lucia... How do I tell him?" Daphne asked shyly.
"Just tell him like that," said Lucia playfully while winking at Daphne, "I'll accompany you back home later along with Arthur; once he enters the house, just give him this news straight away! We can take pictures of his reaction for memories!"
"Lucia..." Daphne laughed helplessly knowing that although Lucia said it was for memories' sake, actually they would use these pictures to tease Eduard later on?
"How about it?" Of course Lucia wouldn't miss Eduard's shining moment.
"All right." How could Daphne refuse Lucia? With just two words "all right", she sold off Eduard without hesitation.
Feeling good about herself now after making plans, Lucia turned around to ask one last question before leaving,
"Miss Davidson, you came here because you aren't feeling well, right?"
Daphne finally realized why these two people were standing there impolitely earlier - because they knew each other!
"Yes… I'm not feeling too well." Since she was asking concerned question anyway, ignoring it any further wouldn't be appropriate anymore - thus Eve spoke up quietly.
"Oh, I see. Take care of yourself," Lucia reminded Lauren before turning to Daphne and saying, "We're leaving. Keep your little flower company."
As soon as Lucia left with Daphne, Eve curiously asked Lauren, "Lauren, what's a little flower?"
Lauren's expression stiffened. It was obvious that Lucia had said it on purpose! But he couldn't do anything about it now and could only casually reply, "She just said it without thinking. You should go see the doctor now."
Eve had already reached the door and could only obediently go in to see the doctor. However, after seeing the doctor, the result was still the same - her body was weak and she needed to take medicine on time. Lauren wasn't satisfied with this answer.
During this time period, Lauren always felt like something was off. Even though Eve took her medicine on time and Nia had given her blood transfusions several times, why wasn't her condition improving but instead getting worse? Although he doubted in his heart that something wasn't right about all of this, he couldn't figure out why.
Seeing Lauren furrow his brow tightly made Eve feel warm inside; he cared so much for her! So she comforted him back by saying, "Lauren, I've long since gotten used to these results; it doesn't matter."
"You might be used to them but I'm not," Lauren replied firmly. He never believed there were any problems that couldn't be solved by human effort alone.
Hearing how he spoke made Eve unable to say anything more... her illness can't be cured...
