Chapter 390: Calm Down and Reflect on Yourself
Chapter 390: Calm Down and Reflect on Yourself
His hands trembling, the doctor nods and unbuttons Jessie's pajamas. Then, the tiny scanner of the
UIC touches her white belly and starts working.
Soon, what’s inside her belly appears on the small screen.
The doctor then hurriedly buttons up Jessie's pajamas for fear that Leigh may get mad and punch him.
And then, he shows Justin the picture on the screen, "She is pregnant, but she is not in a good
condition."
Justin takes a look at it and then asks Leigh, "When was her last period?"
"I don't know. She ate too little before. It seems that she missed her period last month." Leigh rubs his
forehead. Until now, he still can’t believe that Jessie is pregnant. He doesn't know what to think.
Especially when he sees her pale cheeks and petite weak body, he can’t help but wonder how hard it
would be for her to give birth to a child?
At this moment, he regrets what he has done to Jessie.
"I don't know what to say about you." Justin shakes his head and sighs.
Taking note of when Leigh and Jessie have been together, the doctor roughly estimates how pregnant
Jessie currently is. His expression gets serious, "The fetal heart and the embryo bud show too early.
And..."
Leigh immediately becomes nervous. "Is she alright?"
"She's fine. She just needs more nutrition." Justin adds, "But I can hardly see the embryo bud. That’s a
problem. It means that there is something wrong with the child."
Leigh knows nothing about this, but hearing Justin say that there's something wrong with the child, he
becomes seriously distressed.
He traps Jessie here to take revenge on her, but he has never thought that she would get pregnant.
He has already lost two children. He doesn’t want to lose another.
"Justin, I know that you and your friend are very good doctors." Leigh pats Justin on the shoulder and
says seriously, "Help me take care of her and the child."
Justin shakes his hand away and says unhappily, "I can’t do anything. I'm a scientist, not a
gynecologist! Besides, if the fetus doesn't have embryo buds, it's basically dead."
"Actually, that’s not true." The doctor takes on a professional tone, "There could be an embryo bud. We
just can’t see it. If you take good care of her, we should be able to see it with ultrasound in the
hospital."
Leigh immediately turns his gaze to the doctor and drops his attitude. "Please take care of them. Let
me know if you need anything."
Justin sneers, "He’ not that philistine!"
Then, he immediately gets a slap in the face. "Don't worry, Mr. Leigh, just leave it to me! I will have
them send the best medicine over. It’s just... our laboratory is seriously short-funded with the new drugs
we are working on..."
Leigh says, "Give me your account later. I'll fund your lab with my personal account."
"I’d appreciate it, Mr. Leigh!"
Justin can’t help but think, "What the..."
While the doctor is still packing, Justin and Leigh leave the room.
As they walk downstairs, Justin says, "I'm going to the party in Country Y in two days. If anything
happens, just tell Prisley. He's better than me in this."
"Did Louis ask you to go?" Leigh's eyes suddenly darken, "Going to help John Dawn?"
Justin sighs, "You know the grudge between Louis and Jonathan. He doesn't like John, but this time, if Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
John loses, Krislier will be Jonathan’s. Jonathan is very connected. So, if we just sit back as he grows,
it will be harder to stop him when he takes the Asian market."
"Hasn’t Coffey gone over?"
"He is good, but Jonathan’s people are not lame." Justin is also worried. He sighs, "Didn’t you guys get
along well when you went to Country R? How does it end up like this?"
Leigh snorts, "It's probably useless for you to go to Country Y."
Justin is keen enough to feel that something is wrong. He frowns and asks, "Did you do something?"
"I've never been abroad before. What can I do?" Leigh casually replies, walking quickly down the stairs
and leaving Justin behind.
Justin feels annoyed.
"Mr. Leigh," Jana, who is waiting in the living room, greets him and asks with concern, "Is Miss Jessie
alright?"
Leigh ignores her.
Jana smiles embarrassedly and tactfully steps back.
Justin takes a look at her and remembers that there’s another woman in this house besides Jessie. He
again thinks of the milk that he has taken home for testing.
Leigh leads Justin to the door, waits for the doctor to pack his things, and watches them get in the car.
The doctor and Leigh will check on Jessie in a week.
Justin is not in a hurry to get in the car. Instead, he hands a report to Leigh. "This is a report of the milk
which Jessie has drunk. I took a sample last time."
"Isn't the milk fresh?" Leigh asks as he takes over the report.
His face darkens when he sees the words “progesterone hormone”.
Justin knows that he has seen it, so he says, "That's what you think. There are contraceptive drugs in
the milk. However, she is grounded here by you. The servants are also your people. It seems
impossible to have such a thing."
"Every time I come to see her, I find her getting worse. Now she's all skinny and bony. And you are not
in a good condition, either. Don't you notice that you have changed? You kind of lost your mind."
Seeing that Leigh is silent, Justin pats him on the shoulder and says, "If you really want to protect her
and the child, calm down and reflect on yourself and be careful of the people around you."
Then he gets in the car.
Long after the car leaves, Leigh is still standing there with the report in his hand. The words left behind
by Justin echo in his ears, and his heart gradually calms down.
Justin is right. During this period, he has become another man. He is prone to irritability.
Although the servants who take care of Jessie are hired by him, he never stays here for long. It has
been a month since he came last time. He doesn't know how Jessie is taken care of.
Leigh lowers his head to look at the report a few more times and strides into the room with a gloomy
face.
"Call the servants over, including those on leave," Leigh says to the leader of the servants with a cold
voice and drags a chair over when he enters the room.
Jana's heart skips a beat when she sees his expression. She wonders if he knows something.
"Mr. Leigh, what are you doing gathering servants at tonight?" Jana walks over to him and asks
tentatively, "Do you think the servants did a bad job taking care of Miss Jessie?"
Leigh glances at her with a cold smile, "That’s right. She's too thin. I don't think the servants take good
care of her. I don't stay here often, but you've always lived here. Tell me, how are the servants treating
her?"
"They... they are quite concerned about Miss Jessie." A chill runs down Jana’s back at Leigh’s glance.
She forces a smile and says, "Every meal is brought up to Miss Jessie first. The food is very nutritious.
I think Miss Jessie just doesn't want to eat it. We find the food almost untouched every time the servant
cleans up. Bonnie, it’s like that, right?"
As she speaks, Jana looks at the servant standing at the side of the living room.
"Yes, Miss Jana is right," Bonnie replies as she looks at the ground, her voice trembling slightly. "Miss
Jessie always says that she has no appetite, so she would just eat a little..."
