NovelsFreeChapter 353 The Diligent and Inquisitive Molly
Dennis asked, "Any news from the Olteran family?"
Jeffrey nodded. "Yeah, Vera's pregnant.”
Dennis's eyes shot open. "Really?"
Jeffrey nodded again. "Yep, Shawn's been telling everyone." But not Dennis.
Dennis clenched his jaw, fist on his leg. "Is it a boy or a girl?"
Jeffrey shrugged. "The Olterans are tight-lipped. Shawn's friends say he wants a granddaughter."
Dennis stood, fists clenched, staring out the window. "What about Emily?"
Jeffrey hesitated. "Doctor thinks it's a girl. We'll know more at her next check-up."
Dennis's eyes darkened. "Go with her next time."
"Got it."
Around eight, Vera, with her big belly, moved to Patrick's side in bed. She lay on his back, arms around his neck.
"Honey, what did Shawn want?"
Patrick turned to her. "Just sTurner family's stuff."
"Why didn't you tell me? Am | not your sweetie?" Vera probed.
Patrick hugged her. "Of course you are."
After a pause, Patrick asked, "Why didn't you mention seeing Dennis at the hospital?"
Vera, confused, replied, "I was in a hurry and forgot. | saw him again today. | know our families don't get along,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtso | didn't say anything, but | couldn't hold it in."
Patrick gently coaxed her. "Stay away from Dennis. Our families have more than just disagreements."
Vera's curiosity piqued. "Is there ssecret?"
Patrick, thinking of Shawn's earlier speculation, looked at her belly. "Vera, protect yourself and our child."
Vera pouted. "You make it sound like something bad will happen."
Patrick pinched her lips playfully. "Don't talk nonsense."
After a moment, Patrick asked, "Can you go for your check-up two days earlier?"
Vera remembered Patrick's business trip. "Are you leaving soon?"
Patrick nodded. Their check-ups were on the sday, and he worried Vera might run into the members of the
Turner family.
If she went earlier, he'd feel better and could leave sooner.
Vera, thinking of Patrick's trip, clung to him. "I don't want you to go."
Patrick stayed silent, holding her and kissing her gently.
"Honey, stay faithful while you're away."
Patrick kissed her again.
"No flirting with other women."
Each of Patrick's kisses was a promise.
The last two times Vera went for her check-up, Molly and Randall wanted to go, but it was a weekday, and they
had school.
This time, knowing Vera had another check-up, Molly, excited about her upcoming internship at Ellie's company,
wanted to see her future nephew. Randall was curious about his little cousin too. Vera asked Patrick, "Honey, do
you mind if they come?"
Patrick laughed. "If you think it's okay, let them come."
Two days later, Patrick took Vera, Molly, and Randall to the hospital.
Molly complained to Vera about having to intern, even though Sebastian agreed. "I still feel like a baby."
Vera was speechless.
In the car, Patrick told Randall, "You should intern at the Olteran Group too."
Randall looked at Molly. "Molly, | beg you to leave quickly."
He was fine until her complaints got him roped into an internship too.
Molly teased, "I'm glad you'll be interning under Patrick too."
At the hospital, it was crowded since it was the weekend. But with an appointment, they didn't wait long before
heading to the ultrasound room.
Vera lay on the bed, lifting her belly for the doctor. It was Molly's first tto chere, so she was curious.
She bent over, eyes fixed on the screen. "Doctor, where's my nephew? Why does it look like a lump of meat?"
The doctor glanced at Molly. "The baby is a lump of meat."
"That makes sense." Molly continued, "Doctor, what's that thin thing?"
The doctor explained, "That's the umbilical cord."
Molly said, "Then what are those other thin things?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Those are the baby's limbs."
Molly let out a long "oh," "So those are the limbs. | thought Vera was having a little monster."
Vera glanced at Patrick and complained, "Honey, Molly said I'm having a monster."
Patrick smiled. "Nonsense, you're having a kitten."
"No, no, I'm having a baby tiger."
Patrick's face lit up with love. "Okay, you're having a baby tiger for me."
Molly patted the doctor's shoulder. "That's normal. Let's keep looking at my nephew. What's that dark thing?"
Randall, curious too, tried to look at the screen, but Patrick gently pushed him out and closed the door.
He sat outside, waiting.
Inside, Patrick recorded the ultrasound video on his phone and sent it to Randall.
Randall watched the video, smiling, excited for the baby's arrival.
"The baby is healthy and developing well," the doctor said, handing over the results.
Patrick gently wiped the gel off Vera's belly.
Thanks to Molly's curiosity, she could now even identify the baby's position.
