Chapter 288: 268、Isn’t your husband accompanying you?

After saying all that, Ivy Aretha still reluctantly closed her mouth!

This kind of thing, Michael can definitely be serious about, like during her period last month when they couldn’t control themselves and he forced her to do it!

So this time, she remembered the lesson and wouldn’t tease him casually!

Michael Gordon saw her silent, he knew what she was worried about, just smiled, but didn’t say he’s being afraid. He then helped her change the medicine and held her to sleep. The next day, many people had heard about her situation because Michael forced them not to disturb her rest by visiting the hospital.

So people with good intentions turned to WhatsApp instead, after receiving N-number of messages, Ivy couldn’t help but take a selfie wearing a hospital gown, put a big red lipstick emoji, and added a comment: "If I don’t die after this disaster, there must be a blessing, my friends, don’t worry!"

Just as she sent it, Michael was scrolling through his phone’s Moments section, and saw a pale face with flaming red lips. He immediately stood up and threw her phone away, "Don’t play, rest well!"

Before the phone was taken away, Ivy received a call from Mario Jensen. As she slid her finger to answer, a concerned voice already came across, "Ivy, what happened? Yesterday when we met, you were fine, what’s wrong now?"

Over the phone, there was a man talking hurriedly, and the air traffic control announcement was heard from the handset.

"It’s just a minor issue, I’m fine now, very well!" Ivy frowned, then asked, "Are you about to board a plane, Mario? Hurry up and board, don’t worry, Michael is with me!"

"Are you really ok?"

At the other end of the line, Mario Jensen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing she could speak so many words in one breath, confirmed that there was no major issue, gave some instructions, and finally hung up the phone to board the plane.

Michael Gordon watched Ivy smilingly hanging up the phone, and burst out in frustration. When he got upset, his expression naturally turned unhappy: "Does my wife need him to have useless afterthoughts?"

Ivy Aretha: "..."

After a moment, Ivy realized Michael was jealous!

"My dear, you look so cute when you’re jealous!" Ivy grinned and rubbed the face of the man who had come over, "So handsome and charming!"

"Jealous? Handsome and charming?" Michael’s face turned red, knowing that he was jealous and even saying it out, "Didn’t you say I look the most handsome and charming when I’m on top of you at night?"

Ivy Aretha: "..."

By heaven and earth, when did she ever say such shameless words?

Ivy felt it was impossible to communicate with this man!

In a Women’s Hospital in a small town on Sicily Island.

Lina Miller, holding a temporary medical record, was queueing behind some pregnant women, with a few men beside the women to help. It was a small town, and there were not many hospitals. This hospital had the best medical standard locally, so those who could afford it came here for their prenatal check-ups.

Thus, it’s quite crowded.

When it got busy, people started to queue.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Lina was feeling her legs getting sore and found a spot to sit and rest. She stood up and queued for the ultrasound room after regaining her strength. People who had been waiting for a long time started chatting.

At this time, everyone was mostly talking about their husbands and children.

The conversations were non-stop, with more and more people joining in the chatter. For a while, Lina became the quietest woman around. She didn’t usually talk much, and being unmarried and pregnant wasn’t a glorious thing. Besides, the topic was showing off husbands and children.

She didn’t have a husband, so she naturally couldn’t show off any children. She just stood quietly in the background, listening to the group babbling. Unfortunately, in places with many women gossiping, Lina was the most beautiful-looking pregnant woman.

Even the gazes of several husbands who had come along couldn’t help but linger on her for a while.

Finally, someone couldn’t help but ask.

"Hey, beautiful mom-to-be, did you come to the prenatal check-up alone?" The leading woman in her thirties glanced at Lina and asked, "Isn’t your husband accompanying you?"

Husband?

These two words struck her ears and pierced her heart. How ironic, she didn’t have a husband, just a child’s father who had no idea of her child’s existence. So what should she say?

After a pause, Lina smiled faintly at the woman and uttered two simple words: "He’s busy!"

"Oh my, how busy could he be? Just look at your belly, I guess you’re not even three months pregnant yet!" Pregnant women are naturally talkative; seeing Lina alone, they become even more chatty, "Three months is the most dangerous time, you have to be very careful at this stage. If anything bumps or jolts you, the consequences are unimaginable. When I was three months pregnant, my husband wasn’t even comfortable with me walking on my own, he carried me everywhere!"

While saying that, the woman sized up Lina from top to bottom. Her eyes fell on Lina’s face and noticed something unusual, but still couldn’t help asking, "What does your husband do? He’s so busy. Look at the others queueing here, all those who are less than three months pregnant have their husbands accompanying them!"

"My husband runs his own business!"

At this point, if Lina didn’t speak up, this woman would probably dig for more information. Besides, her intentions were good, so it was more appropriate for Lina to speak up rather than gritting her teeth, "So, he’s pretty busy!"

As soon as she mentioned the business, the woman was quite excited, and several women who were listening in also joined in the commotion.

"Girl, let me tell you, no matter how important the business is, nothing is more important than your wife! It can’t be that busy. You sure your husband doesn’t have someone on the side? Men in business are more likely to have issues, because they face more temptations than others and their immunity to women decreases. Last time there was a woman who came with us for a check-up, like your situation, she also came alone for prenatal check-up and said her husband was busy. After our suggestion, she went home and found out her husband indeed had another woman, and her belly was even bigger than hers!"

Another woman who was pregnant with her second child chimed in, "We even encountered a more outrageous one. She asked her husband to accompany her for a prenatal check-up, and he said he didn’t have time. Then they met him at the same hospital with another pregnant woman!"

"Yes, yes!" Lina was amazed by the enthusiasm of the foreign women, as soon as one of them started, others followed suit, "These days, young and pretty girls are everywhere, and men naturally love excitement. When their wife is pregnant, it’s the most likely time for men to have an affair. You better be careful!"
