Chapter 94:Confirming Pregnancy(1)
Helena was taken aback for a moment. They had been trying to conceive for a while, meticulously counting the days, and yet, she hadn’t expected to get pregnant when she least anticipated it.
Willis held her hand, walking briskly toward the car.
His face remained calm, but the joy in his heart was indescribable.
On the other hand, Helena felt a lot calmer internally.
Midway through their walk, Helena noticed a pharmacy on the roadside and suggested, “Let’s go in and buy a pregnancy test. Just to be safe, my menstrual cycle occasionally delays by two or three days.”
“Sure, you wait in the car; I’ll go buy it,” Willis said.
The driver opened the car door, and Willis lifted his hand to support the top of the door, preventing her from accidentally hitting her head.
Helena bent over and got into the car.
Not long after, Willis returned with a transparent plastic bag from the pharmacy.
“Here.”
Helena reached out and took it, realizing there were at least ten pregnancy test sticks inside.
She chuckled, “One stick is enough. Why did you buy so many? It’s a waste.”
Willis shrugged, “It’s okay.”
Helena couldn’t do anything about him.
Back at home, following the instructions, she took a test.
Sure enough, two lines appeared.
She tried several more sticks, and they all showed two lines.
She was indeed pregnant!
Helena walked out holding the pregnancy test sticks, her face beaming, “I’m really pregnant! Look, two lines!”
Willis sat on the sofa, glancing at the pregnancy test, his expression serious.
The joy on Helena’s face froze, “Haven’t you always wanted children? I’m pregnant now, why aren’t you happy?”
Willis raised his hand to massage his brow bone, his expression stern, “If I had known you were pregnant, I wouldn’t have taken you to the swimming pool to learn how to swim today. It was too dangerous.”
Thinking about it made him feel a sense of dread.
If something had happened, he couldn’t bear to think about it.
He fell into deep self-blame.
To ease his concerns, Helena walked over and sat beside him, adopting a casual tone, “So, it’s because of that. It’s okay; I’m fine. Don’t worry. You taught me very well today. I’ll give you a score of a hundred.”
“You’re fearless.” Willis pulled her, seating her on his lap.
His fingers covered her lower abdomen, gently stroking, wanting to feel the presence of their child.
But Helena’s lower abdomen was flat, and he couldn’t feel anything.
Instead, he heated himself up.
To distract himself, he picked up his phone to call Jenny.
As the call went through, he suddenly remembered something, putting Helena down from his lap, saying, “I’m going to make a call; there’s radiation. Stay away from me a bit.”
Helena couldn’t help but smile, “You’re really considerate.”
Willis neither agree nor disagree, “It’s my child; of course, I care.”
Helena obediently sat on the other side of the sofa, keeping a distance of three meters from him.
After connecting the call, Willis restrained his emotions and said expressionlessly, “Jenny, congratulations. You’re going to be a grandmother.”
Jenny’s laughter, like silver bells, echoed from the phone, “Congratulations to you too, Mr. Santana. You’re going to be a father.”
Helena hadn’t noticed it before, but this mother and son were quite amusing.
From their appearance, they both seemed like aloof and cold flowers.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Willis asked, “Do you want to tell your husband this good news?”
Jenny’s tone turned cold, “No need; he doesn’t deserve it.”
Willis agreed, “Indeed, he doesn’t deserve to know the news.”
Jenny instructed, “Take good care of my daughter-in-law. Don’t make her angry. After becoming pregnant, hormones can be imbalanced, and her temperament may change. Whether she throws a tantrum or sulks, you have to endure it for my daughter-in-law. Don’t let her get angry.”
Willis remained composed, “You don’t need to instruct me; I know what to do.”
Jenny emphasized, “Stay away from Susan, stay away from any female creatures. Don’t let Helena misunderstand.”
Willis gave a nonchalant acknowledgment, and then he hung up the phone.
The room fell silent, and Helena heard all of Jenny’s words.
She was deeply moved.
How could there be such a reasonable and understanding mother-in-law?
