Chapter: 410
Later on, Luciana accompanied Raegan to get an ultrasound for a more detailed look.
Sending Mitchel to fetch the ultrasound report was part of Luciana's plan. She figured that seeing the baby's image for himself would be a wake-up call for Mitchel.
He would then surely regret giving Raegan a hard time.
Sensing Raegan's discomfort, Mitchel decided to stop the stalemate.
With that, he made his way to the doctor's office to get the result.
The doctor handed over the ultrasound report and cautioned Mitchel, "Your wife is 15 weeks pregnant, but the fetus' development is slower than we'd like. It's important you take excellent care of her, so both the mom and baby get the nutrients they need."
Dumbstruck, Mitchel looked the doctor in the eye and asked, “Wait. How far along is she again?"
The intensity of Mitchel's gaze made the doctor uneasy. The doctor quickly glanced at the report again and stuttered, "Fifteen weeks..."
Mitchel unconsciously clenched his fists, and disbelief washed over his good-looking face.
How could Raegan be 15 weeks pregnant?
Mitchel had a vivid memory. He had been swamped with work at the overseas branch and had not been intimate with Raegan for an entire month.
Back in the ward, Luciana was spooning some soup to Raegan. As Mitchel walked in, she set the bowl aside and asked, "Did you get the result?"
"Yeah, I did," Mitchel answered, his voice chilly and tinged with sadness.
Luciana did not dwell on his mood, though. Excited, she stood up from her seat too quickly, which made her head spin. Thankfully, Mitchel caught her just in time.
Luciana's condition had been far from ideal, especially because she had been going through hoops to be by Raegan's side. Therefore, Mitchel arranged for someone to take Luciana home so she could rest.
However, Luciana refused to go back and insisted, "I have to be here to take care of Raegan."
"Mom, I'll take it from here," Mitchel asserted.
Luciana hoped Mitchel and Raegan would reconcile, so she said nothing more and left the room.
But before she walked out of the door, Mitchel said to her, “Mom, let's keep the news about Raegan's pregnancy from my grandpa for now."
"Why?" Luciana queried, taken aback.
