Chapter 739 It’s My Baby No Matter How Ugly It Is

Dolores laughed. It turned out to be like that. She had thought that something was wrong with her baby.

“If you have a pain in your belly, you must call the doctor right away,” the doctor reminded her.

Dolores nodded, “I know. Thanks, Doc.”

The doctor was afraid that Dolores would also dislike the baby for it looked ugly. Earlier, there was a

video clip online, on which a pregnant woman was weeping while walking. It was because she had

seen the baby’s face through the four-dimensional B-ultrasound and thought it was ugly.

It was so ugly that the mother-to-be was heartbroken.

The doctor said, “Mr. Nelson and you are both good-looking, so your baby wouldn’t be ugly. It’s still

small and under development. Please don’t worry.”

Dolores said with a smile, “Yes, I know. It doesn’t matter.”

No matter how ugly her baby would be, she wouldn’t dislike it as long as it would be healthy.

The doctor would continue with the ward round, so he left.

Matthew walked in, seeing that Dolores was laughing. He asked, “What happened to make you so

happy?”

Dolores didn’t answer him. Pointing at breakfast on the table, she said, “I left the food for you. Hurry up

and eat them. It’s becoming cold.”

Matthew sat in front of the table and picked up the chopsticks. Dolores asked, “Would you dislike it if

our baby is ugly?”

Matthew turned to look at her and he seemed to understand what she was laughing about. He said

solemnly, “No matter how ugly it will be, it’s my baby. What’s wrong about being not good-looking?”

Dolores laughed, “Aren’t you upset about it?”

Matthew coughed gently. He inwardly complained about the doctor who told Dolores about his secret.

“I wasn’t upset. I’m quite happy.”

Lying on the bed, Dolores asked, “Will you go out today?”

Matthew nodded. He needed to go out to deal with Emma, so he couldn’t stay in the hospital to

accompany her.

Jessica poured a glass of water to him and said, “I’ll take care of her here then. I won’t leave until you

come back.”

Matthew agreed, “That’s good. Please make sure there’s always someone with her. If something

happens, the doctor can be notified,” he reminded Jessica.

Jessica nodded, “I know.”

After breakfast, Jessica took out the lunchboxes to do the dishes. Matthew started to massage

Dolores’s legs, which had been swollen. They also cramped frequently at night.

Sometimes, they would cramp several times within one night.

In the past, Matthew had thought that the pregnancy was quite simple. Since Dolores’s health became

poor, he clearly had realized that a woman might not only die when delivering the baby but also would

suffer a lot during the pregnancy.

Since she couldn’t go out, Dolores felt quite bored. Squinting, she asked, “Are you dealing with the

businesses of your company today?”

Matthew hummed.

After Jessica came back, Matthew left. Before walking out of the ward, he said, “I’ll try to come back as

soon as possible.”

Dolores said, “Don’t worry. Just go ahead with your work. I’m in the hospital now. Nothing could

happen.”

Jessica sat on the edge of the bed, “Would you like to have some fruits?”

Dolores shook her head, “No, thanks, Mom.”

She had just finished breakfast, so she wasn’t hungry yet.

There were a few knocks on the door.

Jessica stood up and opened the door. A nurse was standing at the door. She said a lady was visiting

Dolores and asked if she should let the lady in.

Jessica asked, “Who is the lady?”

“She said her surname is Gordon,” answered the nurse.

Jessica thought it was Theresa, so she asked the nurse to let her in without asking Dolores.

However, when the woman walked to the door, Jessica found that she wasn’t Theresa. Standing at the

door, she looked at Emma on alert and asked, “Who are you?”

Emma had investigated Matthew and Dolores, so she knew Dolores’s closest female friend was

Theresa.

Hence, she lied to the nurse that her name was Gordon.

With a bouquet in her hand, Emma said with a smile, “I’m here to see Mrs. Nelson.”

Jessica said, “I don’t know you. She’s not well. She can’t meet anyone now. I’m afraid you must leave.”

Emma still smiled, “I’m not a bad woman. You don’t need to be so alert. I’m here to see Mrs. Nelson. If

you don’t believe me, you can ask her.”

Dolores overheard their conversation in the bedroom. She sat up and listened to them carefully.

The woman’s voice sounded quite familiar to her.

Soon, she recognized the woman.

It was Emma Bailey.

She wondered what Emma was doing here.

“Excuse me, Mrs. Nelson. May I talk to you for a moment, please?” Emma could only yell towards the

inside since Jessica didn’t want to let her in.

Dolores didn’t answer.

Emma didn’t give up. She continued, “I don’t have any evil intention. I’m in your territory, so I dare not

to do anything. I just want to have a talk with you.”

Dolores thought for a moment and said, “Mom, please let her in.”

Jessica said, “Matthew has told me not to let in anyone I don’t know. I don’t know this woman. You

need a rest. You’d better not see her.”

“I know her. Please let her in,” said Dolores.

Jessica cast a glance at Emma, “You only have a few minutes.”

Emma said, “All right.”

Jessica led Emma to the bedroom.

Dolores was on alert inwardly, but she looked pretty calm on the surface. Even her eyes were quite

peaceful.

Emma tried hard to put a bone between Matthew and her, aiming to break them up. Dolores wondered

why she suddenly showed up here.

Was she making trouble again?

“May I have a private conversation with Mrs. Nelson, please?” Emma looked over at Jessica.

Jessica shook her head, “I must stay here.”

Emma looked over at Dolores, “May I please?”

Dolores was holding the remote control for the alert. As soon as she pressed the button, the doctor

would rush in.

Dolores nodded in agreement. Looking over at Jessica, she said, “It’s alright, Mom. Please wait at the

door for a moment.”

Jessica frowned, “Matthew doesn’t want you to meet anyone alone.”

Dolores smiled, “I know her. It’ll be alright.”

Jessica could only agree, “Okay. Ask her to leave the ward as soon as possible.”

Dolores said, “I know.”

Jessica walked out of the ward and closed the door.

Dolores immediately put away the smile on her face, “Tell me. Why are you here?”

Emma smiled, “Don’t be so hostile to me. I bought the flowers from a florist store on the way here. Do Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She put the bouquet of lilies and roses on the nightstand.
