I just smiled and Dennis took over her suitcase. Arm in arm, Diana touched my belly and said, “It’s close to six months, and it grew bigger.”
I glanced at hers. It’s impossible to notice she was pregnant without a scrutiny, as she wore in baggy.
“Why did you come back so sudden.” I smiled, thinking she would not return until she gave a birth in the countryside.
“Because Alex is coming soon! I am back for him. It’s been a long time that I haven’t seen him. I kind of miss him.” she looked much better.
Dennis walking in front us with the suitcase, she whispered, “Are you guys OK now?”
“I don’t know, because Olivia’s back. I am not sure what will happen in the future.” said I with a shrug.
“Fuck!” she just lost her temper, “That woman has already been rich, hasn’t she? Why doesn’t she stay in Hensley Town to keep her status? Why does she come back for troubles?”
“Maybe she is for taking over Mrs. Knight’s job.” I was not sure what would take place since Olivia was back. Generally speaking, I felt unsettled.
She shot out her lips, “she’s just haunting.”
Silent as I was, I thought about Alex and said, “Did Alex tell you when he’s coming?”
She denied, “No.”
In the parking lot, I asked Dennis, “Did Miss Pearson leave?”
He nodded, “Toby drove her away. Get in the car, please.”
In the car.
“What would you like to eat?” asked Dennis.
It’s 12 o’clock, lunch time.
I found Diana was tired for the long trip, and answered, “whatever”.
Nodding, Dennis drove us to the downtown, parked the car down to a Japanese restaurant, after which he turned his head to me and asked, “How about Japanese food?”
I faced to Diana for her opinion, “ Is it OK for you?”
“Sure,” she nodded.
Off the car, Diana got close to me and whispered, “Have you kept in this way recently?”
“Pretty much!” admitted I.
“Oh my God!” said she who slapped her forehead, “you are like a couple who has lived together for many decades.”
I was dumbfounded, “what?”
“It’s not love love, but family love.” she curled her lips.
I...
It did not take a long time to serve our dishes since we ordered in the restaurant.
Dennis ordered a bowl of minced pork congee for me out of the reason that the pregnant was not allowed to have mustard - too spicy.
It might because I had had too much congee, I had little of it without appetite. The left was eaten by Dennis. There was nothing I had but few slices of salmon.
Diana had no appetite either. She was somehow confused about the way Dennis and I interacted.
After we drove her to YT Apartment, Dennis took me to the hospital.
There are numerous patients waiting in the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics. It was fortunate that we had made an appointment before, we did not need to wait in a line. I had to take various kinds of examination while Dennis had to wait outside.
By the ultrasonic inspection, the doctor looked at me hesitantly, upon which, I thought the baby might be ill.
I stared at the doctor and said, “Doctor, is there anything wrong with the baby?”
She turned to me and admitted, “ Based on the image, the fetal heart rate is weak, indicating a sign of dysgenesis, while it should be strong as a 24-week fetal.”
“Ms. Kennedy, you must stay in a good mood and sleep with good quality, which are necessary. You have to understand your mood is closely related to the development of the baby.” she continued after a pause.
I nodded. What she said I understood completely, otherwise I would not seek help from Alex.
He smiled, “Do I look so idle for you? Do you really think I have that much time?”
I loosened my hand and said without a look at him, “Just go.”
I would not know that even though he actually went to her if he decided to hide it from me.
He left with a slight sigh.
I was sleepy for the tough day, and fell asleep soon.
Because my mood would affect the baby, I just stayed at home for the next days, reading books and walked around
Dennis accompanied me for a one-hour walk every day. Sometimes when I was too tired to walk, he had to carry me home.
I could not keep my temper all the time, yelling at him occasionally which he had to bear.
As it occurred so often, I felt bored and stopped yelling.
We were going to walk around on the weekend.
However, I was too lazy to get up, which Dennis could not rejected. At last, he just stayed with me at home.
Nanny had prepared a lot for a trip home.
Downstairs was ringing the door for which Dennis got up, pulling me up, “Get up for the brunch, then we can have a walk.”
It’s already close to noon. I was hungry indeed.
He went down to open the door while I took a shower.
When I went out of the bedroom, I heard cries and screams from the first floor, and I had a look.
It was Olivia who wore a white dress with hair in a bun, looking like a teenage girl.
I had no idea what had they talked, but she cried and collapsed, the makeup massed up.
