[In a world for two, there are too many misunderstandings and excessive entanglements in the world. We’re always afraid of receiving the cold shoulder from the other party.]

[The person I love the most hurt me the deepest, I have no right to choose whether to retreat or not…]

[How can I forget the promises we made to love each other? How can I forget your lovely face?]

On the way, Hailey kept playing songs that contained duets between male and female singers.

An example would be ‘Need You Now’ and many others.

It seemed that every song could reflect the relationship between Jordan and Hailey.

However, when they were about to arrive at the hospital, Hailey played a song named ‘Green’.

After stopping the car, Jordan asked, “Why did you play that song?”

Hailey said, “Nothing, I just think the melody is nice. Come over here and hold me.”

Hailey was now heavily pregnant, and the hospital was crowded, so Jordan had to hold her at all times to keep her safe.

She went for a checkup at the hospital, but there was nothing serious.

Hailey was still worried when she came to the doctor’s office with the medical report in hand.

“Doctor, most expectant mothers are sleepy during their second trimester, and they spend their time either sleeping or eating, but I’ve developed food aversions. I’ve been getting more and more nervous now that I’m nearing the labor date. What’s going on?”

This doctor was a famous obstetrician and gynecologist of this hospital. He was also a psychologist.

The doctor laughed and said, “It’s your first time having a baby, right? It’s normal to be nervous.”

“But I get nightmares all the time, and I feel anxious everyday. I even get scared, and sometimes I don’t want the baby anymore,” Hailey said.

The doctor said, “You may have prenatal depression. Is this gentleman the baby’s father?”

The doctor looked at Jordan.

Jordan nodded.

The doctor said to Jordan, “The reason your wife is experiencing these symptoms may be that she has some expectations of you, which you have not fulfilled. There is nothing wrong with your career recently, right?”

Jordan smiled.’ So that’s the reason.’ There hadn’t been any problems with his career lately, but Cayden’s career has been declining considerably.

“It’s not too bad,” Jordan said perfunctorily.

The doctor continued, “If your career is stable and there are no major problems, then it is your wife’s emotional needs that are not being met. May I ask if you are too busy with work that you don’t have time to spend with her?”

Hailey humphed coldly. “He doesn’t have time for me.”

The doctor quickly said, “See, I was right, wasn’t I? It must be because you usually spend too little time with your wife. That’s why she has developed anxiety.”

When Jordan saw Hailey rolling her eyes, he felt aggrieved. ‘I wouldn’t spend time with you even if I had time. Go look for Cayden!’

However, Jordan wouldn’t mention their complicated relationship in front of the doctor and other outsiders.

The doctor admonished Jordan, “You must pay attention to this matter. Your wife will go into labor in another month. This month, you have to take more time out of your schedule to spend with her.”

“It’s not easy for a woman to carry a baby for 10 months, right?”

Jordan nodded and said, “Okay, I will make more time to spend with her.”

After chatting for a while in the doctor’s office, Jordan helped Hailey up as they proceeded to leave.

After the two left, the doctor’s young assistant said, “I think that pregnant woman doesn’t look like she’s suffering from prenatal depression? She’s not in low spirits at all, and instead, she is sometimes excited. She’s just a little nervous about giving birth, and I don’t know why she is.”
