Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 214

Camela couldn't help but say, "You two have the best relationship I've ever seen."

Ines chuckled and said to Camela, "Camela, how about making some pizza tonight?"

Camela was taken aback, "That's way too greasy, Izzy might not be able to handle it. She might get uncomfortable."

Looking slightly embarrassed, Ines explained, "Camela, it's not for me. The pizza is for Ethan, he's been losing weight recently."

Camela commented, "Ethan's weight loss is inevitable. Watching you slim down day by day, it's a wonder he can eat at all. Don't worry though, morning sickness usually fades after three months. Once that's gone, your appetite will come back naturally."

"Camela, don't listen to Izzy. I can't eat greasy food at night either. The calories are just too high, I'd have to spend too much time working them off."

Ines was firm, "We have to do things my way. Only by eating greasy food at night will you gain weight."

Ethan patted Ines on the head, "Have you lost your brains because you're pregnant? My stomach can't handle greasy food at night, it would only make it worse."

Ines facepalmed, "I totally forgot about that."

"Don't worry. Once your morning sickness is gone and I stop worrying about you, my weight will go back to normal. My weight has been pretty stable over the years, this is just a special case." Ethan chuckled and took her hand, wiping it with a wet tissue.

All Ines could do was nod and express her sympathy for those with stomach problems, "Alright then."

After dinner, Camela reminded them, "Izzy's about three months pregnant along now, it's time for a prenatal checkup."

"Three months already? Time really flies." Ines couldn't help but exclaim.

Ethan looked at Camela, asking seriously, "Can we find out the baby's gender yet?"

Ines playfully slapped Ethan.

He really wanted a daughter. For the past two months, he's been constantly talking about his little princess, as if saying it more would make the baby in her belly a girl.

Camela smiled, understanding Ethan's concerns about the baby's gender and whether they were having twins. She explained, "Ethan, we can't determine the baby's gender at three months. At the earliest, it's at four months. However, we can check the gestational sac to see if you're having twins."

Ethan seemed a bit disappointed, "That's fine too, let's go to the hospital tomorrow and have the doctor check if we're having twins."

The following day, they both arose early for the prenatal checkup. Ines stirred awake almost simultaneously with Ethan as he opened his eyes. With a tender affection, he greeted her with a loving morning kiss.

Ines was already used to Ethan's morning kisses.

It wasn't until they were both short of breath that Ethan let go of Ines, saying, "Izzy, time to get up. We're going for a prenatal checkup today."

Ines nodded, and when they went out, Camela had already prepared breakfast. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After breakfast, they went to the hospital full of anticipation.

Ines thought Ethan would have made an appointment with the doctor to save time, so they could start the checkup as soon as they arrived. She didn't expect him to take her to wait in line.

"Aren't you bothered about wasting time? It's not the weekend today, there's a lot of work waiting for you at the Meyer Group," Ines voiced her doubt.

"No amount of work is more important than you and our baby. This is a part of being a father that I want to experience fully."

Despite getting up early, there were people who arrived earlier than them. Ines noticed that among the people waiting in line, some were accompanied by mothers, some by friends, but not many were accompanied by their husbands. Ines couldn't help but lean against Ethan, holding his arm and smiling.

Ethan held her tightly, his face full of the joy of becoming a father.

After about half an hour, their names were called. Ethan led Ines into the room where the checkup would be conducted. The female doctor conducting their checkup was someone Ines knew, a doctor that Amelia had introduced to her. The doctor was surprised to see her, "You're Amelia's friend, are you pregnant?"

Ines nodded, "Yes, I'm three months pregnant."

The doctor smiled happily, "That's wonderful, it seems that you and the baby have a strong bond. Lie down and I'll do an ultrasound for you."

Ines looked nervous as she looked at the equipment. Ethan laughed, "Izzy, it's okay, relax." To distract Ines, the doctor also started a conversation with her, "The last time you and Amelia were here, I thought you looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I'd seen you. Once, I was talking to Amelia and she mentioned that you and your husband had recently appeared on TV, which I happened to have watched."

The doctor began the ultrasound, and Ethan helped adjust Ines' clothes. The doctor gave Ethan a smile, then applied the ultrasound gel to Ines' abdomen.

As Ines felt the cold gel and the circular probe gliding over her abdomen, a sense of unease settled within her. The doctor's silence only intensified her nervousness. Unable to contain her curiosity, she inquired, "Doctor, what are the results of my examination?"

The doctor replied, "Don't be nervous, let me take a closer look."

Ethan's gaze also turned to the monitor, but all he could see was darkness interspersed with some bright spots, and he couldn't make out anything else. The doctor didn't answer immediately, which made both Ines and Ethan anxious. Ethan frowned, asking, "Doctor, how are the results of the examination?"
