Coralie didn't think the phone call from Skylar was about the pregnancy at all. She thought that there was something wrong with Grandmother Holland. She got worried and hung up the phone quickly. After asking for leave from her superior, Coralie hurried to the parking lot.
Skylar had been waiting for her in the car.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Grandma?"
Coralie asked as soon as she got in the car.
"Grandma?" Skylar looked at Coralie's worried face. Then he said, "Valerie came to my office. She told me..."
Hearing this, Coralie's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Valerie complained to Skylar about her attitude towards her during lunch?
She hurriedly said, "During lunch, I..."
"I know. Are you pregnant?"
Skylar thought that Coralie was going to explain about her retching, so he asked her first.
As soon as he blurted the question, Coralie reflexively asked, "How did you know?"
She didn't expect that Skylar would get wind of her pregnancy when she herself had just found out about it.
Coralie's reaction had declared everything. She knew she was pregnant. Skylar started the car and glanced at her, his expression was a little unpleasant.
How could he let someone else inform him about his wife's pregnancy?
"Why didn't you tell me about your pregnancy?"
Skylar asked her.
Coralie couldn't hide it, so she had to explain, "I found out only today. I didn't have a good appetite recently. At noon, I remembered that my period was late by a week, so I went to buy a pregnancy test kit..."
"But you didn't tell me about your bad appetite recently."
"I'm sorry. I'll tell you next time."
Coralie owned up to her mistake.
......
The car arrived at the hospital where Harvey was working in.
Skylar had called Harvey before he came and asked him to arrange everything because he couldn't wait for another moment. He couldn't wait to verify whether Coralie was really pregnant or not.
Skylar parked the car and took Coralie into the hospital.
Harvey was waiting for them and ushered them to the blood sampling room.
Then he took some blood from Coralie's finger.
"How long will it take for the result to come out?"
"One minute, it will be ready soon." Harvey looked at Skylar who was so concerned about Coralie. Skylar looked so nervous, so Harvey had to tease him, "Skylar, I didn't know that you like children."
Skylar exuded the impression of being a cold and aloof person, and he usually ignored children. Harvey didn't expect that Skylar would show such turbulent emotions after knowing that his wife was pregnant.
A minute later, Harvey took out the report. He looked at the data and nodded. "Yes, she's pregnant. Would you like to do an ultrasound to confirm how far along she is?"
"Do it."
Skylar agreed immediately.
After undergoing the ultrasound checkup, it was confirmed that the child was about five weeks old. Skylar calculated that the time of pregnancy was about the time when he came back from abroad after the New Year.
Since Harvey was not a gynecologist, he took them to the hospital's gynecology department and handed them over to another doctor.
