Embarrassed, I was rendered speechless, and my face reddened instantly. After mumbling a response, I immediately ran out of the room.
Ashton had been waiting by the door. When he saw me looking rather upset, he came up to me and asked in a low voice, “Did Professor Zidd lecture you again?”
I shook my head. “No.”
On the other hand, Emery teased me, “He wants you to make sure that your wife gets plenty of rest, so don’t make her too tired at night.”
“Tsk.” I rolled my eyes at her by way of a threat, but she continued to look at me with a devious smile while pretending to zip up her lips.
Ashton did not say anything and merely patted my back as he led me to get my injections.
This estrogen treatment was to solve the issue of my overly thin uterine lining so that the in-vitro fertilization process could begin after my uterine lining reached a certain level of thickness.
Ashton had minor germaphobia. Therefore, he brought my prescription to a private hospital instead of allowing me to get the injections at the public hospital.
The main advantage of a private hospital was that there were much fewer people in there.
Ashton was rather well-known here. The moment we arrived, a nurse followed us all the way to cater to our needs. From checking our prescription to administering the injections, it was a very clear-cut process that took barely ten minutes. As a result, we saved a lot of time that would otherwise be spent waiting at a public hospital.
Therefore, private healthcare had its advantages despite being expensive.
Ashton supported me as we walked out of the clinic. In the corridor, we actually ran into Nick at the obstetrics and gynecology department.
He was supporting Rose, and they looked very affectionate. It had only been a year, but he had changed his hairstyle, looking a lot more sophisticated. Indeed, he seemed more like the head of a family now.
When they saw us, their smiles remained on their face. Rose greeted us politely, “Scarlett, Ashton.”
