Yale knew it was not the time to worry about wastefulness. The baby was important, but Evangeline’s safety was even more so. There was only one way to ensure the best of both worlds.
“The medical equipment for the checkup may not be a lot, but it’s still a hassle. Maybe we should just skip
117”
Evangeline hesitated, saying, “Uncle, it’s just a prenatal checkup, a simple ultrasound. With so many bodyguards from the Foster family protecting me, what can possibly go wrong?”
She could tell her uncle was overthinking things out of concern, and she also knew that following his arrangements was the safest thing to do. However, she did not want to
As her uncle gave his reasons for persuading her, Evangeline recalled Walter’s words–that he had to be present for their child’s first checkup.
Thinking about how slim the chances were for the three of them to be together as a family in the future. Evangeline could not bear to break the promise she had made to Walter. Although she always acted tough when they met, deep down, Evangeline cherished every moment with Walter.
But, Evangeline, if someone could buy information about your checkup, it meant someone inside the hospital might be working for them. What good would our bodyguards do then? For the sake of your safety, it’s better to-”

Evangeline was even willing to risk going to the hospital for a checkup for Walter. So, Yale simply could

Evangeline was his cherished and beloved niece. She was also a mother–to–be. At such a vulnerable and sensitive time, how could she not long for the presence of the child’s father? Ultimately, all the words he wanted to say were condensed into a single sentence. “Alright, but be careful.”
He would send as many people as possible to protect Evangeline at all times. The Foster family held considerable power in Avalon City, and with so many eyes on Evangeline, he doubted that those behind the scenes would dare make any rash moves.
At Sunny Glow Beauty Salon, Celina had just seen a customer off when she entered her beauty room and answered the phone.
“Celina, I’ve confirmed that Evangeline will go to People’s Hospital for her checkup, so you know what to do, right?” Julia’s voice echoed in Celina’s ears, making her feel dizzy.
After steadying herself, Celina replied, “Everything’s been arranged. You don’t have to worry.”
