But Jack insisted, "No, how could I know your condition if I don't go in?"
The corners of Rachel's mouth twitched. She pointed to a piece of paper on the wall and said, "Didn't you see it? "Men Are Not Allowed!"
Looking in the direction she pointed, Jack had to sit down again, but he still said with concern, "If anything happens, call me immediately, okay?"
...
After taking a look, Rachel went straight to the consulting room.
Sitting alone in the chair, Jack checked the time on his watch from time to time and looked in the direction of the consulting room from time to time. The door was still tightly closed, and he suddenly felt more and more irritable. It had been twenty minutes since she went in. Why hadn't she come out yet? Was there something bad happening all of a sudden?
Beside them, a man happily walked over with his wife in his arms. He grinned and asked, "Why are you so fast today? You came out in five minutes."
'She only needed five minutes, while Rachel had already been in for twenty minutes!'
The more Jack thought about it, the more anxious he became. He couldn't wait any longer. He stood up and walked towards the consulting room. But when his hand touched the doorknob and was about to open it, a nurse stopped him. "Sir, you have to sit aside and wait. The other pregnant women are still in the examination. You can't go in."
"I know. The woman inside is my wife. She has been in there for a long time and hasn't come out yet. Can you let me in to have a look?" Jack looked anxious.
The nurse explained expressionlessly, "The examination time will be different. Some people will be examined for more than half an hour. Please sit down and wait. If there is anything wrong, the doctor will inform you."
"But..." As soon as Jack said one word, the door of the outpatient room was opened from inside. At the door stood Rachel and a doctor, and they looked at Jack in confusion at the same time.
Rachel was the first to react and asked, "Why are you standing here?"
"Nothing." Jack took a step forward, grabbed her hand and asked worriedly, "How is it going? Is everything okay?"
"Everything is fine." Rachel withdrew her hand in embarrassment.
The doctor next to him was used to such a scene. He chuckled, looked at Jack and said, "It's been seven months. You finally came here with your wife today. Then I don't need to make another copy of the examination report today, right?"
Jack completely forgot about the doctor. He was too embarrassed to say anything but shook his head.
Hearing this, Rachel was confused. She looked up at him in confusion and asked, "What examination report? The copy?"
Jack held her waist and said softly, "Let's go home first. We'll talk about it later."
Along the way, Rachel asked several times what the doctor meant by saying that, but Jack kept silent all the time. When they entered the house, she frowned and said, "Now we're home. Can you always tell me what happened?"
Jack motioned her to sit down on the sofa and said, "Wait a minute." Then he went to the second floor. When he came down again, he was holding a square iron box in his hand.
Rachel took it and opened it. Her eyes were full of surprise, and her heart trembled uncontrollably. There were all her results of every antenatal examination and the B Ultrasound results she had made. The sheets were neatly placed, and her lips could not help but tremble. "What, what's going on?"
"Every time you went to the hospital for the prenatal checkups, I would go there too, but I didn't show up. When you left, I would go to the doctor and ask her to make a copy of the results." Jack said with a bitter smile and a melancholy look on his face.
When she saw these things, Rachel was full of surprise, and now when she heard his words, she was even more shocked.
When she thought Jack didn't care about her at all, he had done so many things silently behind her.
All of a sudden, Rachel felt warm in her heart, as if she had drunk a glass of strong wine. She looked down at her tightly twisted hands and said, "However, at that time, were you with Scarlett..."
Before she finished her words, Jack interrupted her, "Rachel, nothing happened between me and her. I just want to make use of her to irritate you."
"Irritate me?" Rachel repeated his words, but she didn't understand.
Jack nodded, took out a document from the bottom of the iron box, and spread it out. "This is the agreement I signed with Scarlett. All I did was to make you jealous, just to make you have a little reaction to me, and to let me know that in this relationship, I am not alone."
Jack had never mentioned these words to Rachel before.
Looking at the signature of Jack and Scarlett on it, Rachel suddenly felt a little sore in her nose, but she couldn't help chuckling, "Jack, how can you be so childish?"
