Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1636

It wasn't long before Dr. Benjamin arrived to collect samples from Keaton and the fetus.

"Dr. Benjamin," Winona said, "please take several samples and send them to different labs for testing, just in case."

Benjamin understood. "Got it!"

Winona asked again, "Is there a way to keep her unconscious without harming the fetus? At least until the test results are back."

She knew Beatrix would cause a scene the moment she woke up. It was better to just let her sleep.

Once the results were in, then they could have it out.

"I have a way," Elysia said.

After Benjamin finished collecting the samples and left, Elysia used acupuncture to put Beatrix into a deep, peaceful sleep.

Winona followed Benjamin out of the room and asked him for one of the fetal samples.

She personally took the sample downstairs and found the boy.

"Give this to your sister. She'll know what to do. Hold onto it tightly and don't mess this up. It's very important to me."

The boy nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, Ms. Newsom. I promise I'll get it done perfectly."

Winona smiled. "Go on, then."

The boy couldn't help but ask one more question. "Ms. Newsom, are you and Mr. Huber together?"

Winona froze. "No, we're not."

"Then... does Mr. Huber have a thing for you?" the boy pressed.

Winona didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What makes you think he likes me?"

"He was so hostile towards me," the boy said. "It was obvious he sees me as a rival."

Winona shook her head. "You've misunderstood. Today's situation is... complicated. He doesn't want outsiders to know what's going on."

After all, it involved Beatrix and a potential baby. It was an intensely private matter for both Keaton and the entire Huber family. Winona figured Keaton's glare was just about keeping secrets, not jealousy.

*I know I can trust the boy, but Keaton doesn't,* she thought.

"Really?" the boy asked, only half-convinced.

"Yes," Winona confirmed. "Now, stop letting your imagination run wild and get going. I'll take you and your sister out to dinner sometime to thank you."
