Mabel Quinn saw this and didn’t insist further, telling her friend that if anything happened at the hospital, to give her a call.
"Alright, got it!" Alice Conley replied with a smile.
On Saturday, Alice went to the hospital for so routine prenatal checkups. She hadn’t ntioned it to her parents, fearing that they would insist on accompanying her.
Actually, at this stage, her belly wasn’t showing, and she had no issues moving around. Having her parents accompany her would seem excessive.
Alice registered at the gynecology departnt and waited for her number to be called. In the waiting area, there were already many people, and among them, many won were accompanied by n.
Especially when she noticed a woman who was clearly six or seven months pregnant. When her number was called, she struggled a bit to stand up from her seat, and her husband gently supported her, softly saying, "Take it slow, no rush." The loving care was so evident.
At that mont, Alice’s eyes grew a bit moist. When she’s six or seven months pregnant, perhaps only her parents would be by her side, and the one she loved might have already returned to Falling City by then.
Alice sat quietly, waiting. She didn’t know how long had passed before she finally heard the machine call her na. Standing up, she took a deep breath and walked toward the consultation room.
After Alice completed her examination and left the hospital, she didn’t notice that a car was parked not far from the hospital entrance, and the person inside was steadily watching her.
Dorian Howards looked through the car window at the person standing at the hospital entrance, thinking she seed thinner. Was her morning sickness severe? He had looked it up online; morning sickness varies depending on one’s constitution, and for so, it could be so severe they couldn’t keep any food down.
These days, while he was handling work affairs, he was also distracted, investigating the drugging incident from the other day and suppressing dia reports. He tried to numb himself with an overload of work, but still, her face kept appearing in his mind, and whenever he had a mont of downti, mories of her flooded his thoughts.
He didn’t want to see her, yet early in the morning, he found himself driving to her neighborhood entrance, watching her leave the complex, and then, like a stalker, following her all the way to the hospital.
Why did she go to the hospital? Was there sothing wrong with her health?
Now, as she left the hospital but lingered at the entrance, his mind was filled with questions.
Suddenly, a car pulled up in front of Alice, causing Dorian to stiffen. He saw Alice smile and bend down to get into the car.
From his angle, he could clearly see the driver was a man he had seen before—a man who had once dined with Alice and had shown interest in her!
At that mont, Dorian felt like sothing was pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe.
