Chapter 1892: Let Her Leave Without Return
On this day, Joyce received a call from Felix early in the morning.
"Joyce, please take Vicki for another prenatal check-up," Felix's voice sounded urgent.
Joyce was surprised, "Why? Didn't she just have one recently?"
"This morning, she had a slight show of blood. I'm really worried about the baby. You know her
temperament, she doesn't take it seriously when I tell her," Felix explained, "You go first, I have some
matters to attend to, and I'll join later."
"No problem, I'll leave now." Joyce had just finished changing her clothes, preparing to go to JK
Intelligence design company. She hadn't been there for a long time, relying solely on Kane's remote
control and a few old employees.
It seemed she couldn't go to the company today. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
About half an hour later, Joyce arrived at the hospital.
Vicki was already waiting at the hospital entrance, leaning impatiently against a pillar. Her expression
softened slightly when she saw Joyce.
Joyce hurriedly asked, "How did the bleeding happen? Is it serious?"
Vicki disdainfully replied, "Felix is making a big fuss over nothing. It's just a tiny bit of blood, not worth
making me run to the hospital."
Joyce reached out and held Vicki, "Even a little bit of blood is cause for concern. It's right to have a
check-up. Let's go."
Saying this, she led Vicki towards the ultrasound room where she had the previous check-up.
With VIP treatment, the doctor quickly completed Vicki's examination.
"How is it? Is everything okay?" Joyce asked.
The doctor shook their head, "It's nothing to worry about. The baby is very stable, everyone's body is
different. Some women, after getting pregnant, might have a slight menstrual-like phenomenon, albeit
in very small amounts. So, occasionally seeing a bit of blood is also normal. If it's convenient, have an
HCG check every two weeks. As long as the values are fine, there shouldn't be any major issues."
Vicki sat up from the bed, "I told you it was nothing, what a waste of my time."
"How could it be a waste of time? Doctor, is it really not serious?" Felix nervously asked the doctor.
The doctor replied, "For now, it seems fine. However, did you two have intercourse last night?"
Felix was taken aback, "…"
Vicki candidly admitted, "Yes, we did."
Joyce, "…"
"Um, have you been frequent recently?" the doctor asked.
"Not really, not every day," Vicki shrugged.
The doctor, "…"
Joyce, "…"
Felix felt even more embarrassed, wishing he could find a hole to hide in. His private matters being
exposed like this, he was not used to it.
The doctor cleared their throat a few times and, to avoid embarrassment, pretended to be serious, "A
little bit of blood might be related to the frequency of intercourse. Although caution is needed in the
early stages of pregnancy, it's also not for a long time. Another month, Mr. Saunders, you can bear with
it. Since Mrs. Saunders showed signs of bleeding, it's best to refrain from it for now. If necessary, you
can find a way to solve it on your own."
Felix felt like he had lost all dignity. The doctor's words made him feel like a beast, only thinking about
that matter even though his wife was pregnant. It was clear that he had been the one holding back, yet
someone was tempting him every day.
Moreover, the doctor reprimanded him in front of Joyce, he felt like he couldn't live anymore.
Joyce tactfully looked away, "Don't look at me, you can pretend I don't exist, I haven't heard anything."
Vicki, on the other hand, raised her voice discontentedly, "What? We can't do it recently?"
The doctor cleared their throat again, "It's better not to, it's only a month before three months. After
that, when the fetus is stable, you can increase the frequency appropriately."
Vicki frowned, looking annoyed, "I can't smoke, fine, I quit anyway, and now I can't even do this. That's
no fun, it's like it's going to kill me, isn't it?"
Joyce, "…"
The doctor, "…"
Will that really kill her?
Felix quickly covered Vicki's mouth to stop her from saying anything more exaggerated.
"For heaven's sake, please. For the sake of our son, endure it," he pleaded.
Vicki pushed away Felix's hand, "I know, it's so annoying. After this one, I never want to have another."
Felix forced a smile, "Okay, I'll follow your lead."
Although he really liked children, he absolutely respected Vicki's wishes.
"Heh heh." Joyce suddenly laughed, "Mr. Saunders, she's just being tough. She really loves children,
who knows, she might want to have four, five, or six in the future. Well, since the check-up is fine, let's
go outside and talk."
Vicki impatiently responded, "I'm not a pig, you know."
"Alright, it's all up to you," Felix said, helping Vicki up.
Vicki brushed his hand away, "I'm not disabled, don't help me."
Felix simply embraced her, "I'm not helping you, I'm just holding you, is that okay?"
Joyce watched the affectionate scene between the two of them and felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Previously, she had been somewhat worried that their relationship might be strained, but now it
seemed that her concerns were unnecessary. Their relationship was undoubtedly strong.
As they reached the end of the corridor, there was no one around.
"I heard that you've decided to keep Westbrook at the Saunders family. Vicki, your generosity is truly
exceptional," Joyce remarked.
"Otherwise? Should I replace all the blood in his body? In the end, he's just a child who doesn't know
anything," Vicki shrugged, "I'm not afraid of him seeking revenge in the future. Children are malleable.
A child under my guidance won't turn out like that. I have confidence in that."
Joyce nodded, "That's true. Anderson told me that Westbrook has completely changed at school, he's
not causing trouble and is getting along well with his classmates. His progress is really remarkable."
"That's thanks to Anderson giving him a couple of lessons earlier, making him more mindful. He also
suffered from the recent family crisis. I believe he won't be mischievous anymore in the future," Felix
stated, "He will continue to grow as the young master of the Saunders family until he reaches
adulthood. As for what happens after that, it's up to him."
Joyce agreed, deeply admiring Vicki. She had always admired her, and now even more so. Taking in
Seren's child, despite the nightmare Seren had been for Vicki, was truly admirable.
