Two months later, Yelena's treatment gradually showed results. She returned to the York family every half month. There were new developments each time she went back, especially since she could now speak simple words. The York family dared not question Professor Turner's arrangements anymore.Eliza still slept deeply. Her vital signs were normal, but she never woke up.Melanie's medical studies also progressed well.With a background in traditional medicine since childhood, Melanie found it effortless to learn from Professor Turner, who started with traditional medicine. However, she struggled a bit with deciphering his handwritten medical notes...For the past two months, Annie had been by Melanie's side every day.Her belly slowly grew larger, and she needed someone to take care of her at all times. Professor Turner found a reliable nanny to take care of her daily necessities.On this day, Melanie was discussing medical cases with Professor Turner when Annie hurriedly pushed
“Professor, let me.”Melanie stepped forward and grabbed the first-aid kit, but Professor Turner insisted against it. “You’re heavily pregnant now. Although I’m made of old bones, I’m still perfectly capable of carrying something like this.”Melanie smiled as she put on a white doctor’s robe and followed him out of the door.“What is that patient’s condition? Is it severe?” Melanie asked worriedly when they were in the car.“It’s not minor,” the professor replied without looking up.That made Melanie even more nervous. She intertwined her fingers. “Professor, I’ve never dealt with a real patient before. You’ll have to keep a close watch and make sure treatment is not delayed for the patient.”“Why so little confidence in yourself?” Professor Turner looked at her with a smile. “Don’t worry, you’ll be able to treat this condition with ease!”Melanie heaved a sigh of relief, hoping that what Professor Turner said was true.After driving for less than 20 minutes, the car stoppe
Melanie was carrying their child! Jeffrey thought with clenched fists, and he suppressed the urge to caress Melanie’s belly.Melanie seized the chance while he was spacing out to snatch her medicine case back. She put the strap on her shoulders before opening the door.Professor Turner was waiting outside the door. When he saw them, he asked in shock, “Done so fast?”“Yes. Why don’t you prescribe me some medicine?” Jeffrey bowed his head to look at the woman before him, who was still looking downward, and fought for more time with her.“I can’t treat this condition of yours. You’d better consult another doctor,” Melanie said. She left without even looking back.“Is that so? I thought you’re the only one who can cure him of this condition,” Professor Turner chimed in.Melanie glared at him. He pursed his lips, no longer daring to speak up for Jeffrey. He put his hands behind his back. and walked out with Melanie.They left the hotel and got into the car.Melanie looked sullen
Harlow’s subordinate looked at where he was pointing at.In the photo, Melanie and Yelena had just stood up from the bench in the garden and were turning to walk back to the base. In the subsequent photos that were shot, Melanie’s jacket did little to cover up her swollen belly.Her belly was growing fast.“Is it…Jeffrey Morgan’s child?” his subordinate asked in surprise.In his memory, Melanie always had a slender figure. That was why when he first got the photos, he didn’t even consider the possibility of her being pregnant. He simply thought that her clothes were overly-sized, and it was an issue of the camera angle and the wind puffing her dress up.Now that he took a second look, it didn’t look like an issue of the camera angle at all.“Who cares whose child it is!”Harlow flung the stack of photos on the coffee table. “If it really is Jeffrey Morgan’s child, I’ll expose this secret and let Morgan Group continue being unstable! If it isn’t Jeffrey Morgan’s…hmph! That’d be
The moment Jeffrey’s hand landed on Melanie’s belly, they felt a strong kick from the fetus.It was as if the fetus, that wasn’t yet six months old in the stomach, knew the touch of his father and was jumping and dancing for joy in his mother’s womb.Melanie and Jeffrey looked into each other’s eyes. She noticed him swallowing hard and the tears glistening in his eyes.“He’s kicking me,” Jeffrey said hoarsely, in a voice soaked with happiness.Melanie felt her heart going soft at that moment. She thought it was the sweetest thing she heard, filled with the love a father had for his child.She couldn’t bear to push his hand away, and allowed him to greedily caress her belly. The fetus in her womb continued kicking away happily as Jeffrey moved his hand to wherever the fetus was kicking, and the father-child pair continued interacting with each other.Suddenly, the baby kicked Melanie hard.Melanie couldn’t help but wince. “Ouch!” Jeffrey immediately pulled his hand back. “Does
The sight of the woman before him looking like a deer caught in headlights made Jeffery smirk. “Am I that scary?”“What do you think? Hooligan,” Melanie chided him, and quickly buttoned up her collar.“I just want to tell you that your suspicions might have something to do with this birthmark,” Jeffrey gently poked the birthmark behind the shoulder through her shirt.“You mean…”“I’ve asked the professor. He said there might be some kind of advanced gene technology implanted in your birthmark, resulting in gene mutation. That is why the DNA test was unable to pick things up.”“Are you sure about that?”“The professor wanted to conduct some tests on you, but you became pregnant and have to avoid radiographic testing,” Jeffrey explained.Melanie nodded. “I’ll do the tests in a few months.”“This kid will be out in a few months’ time,” Jeffrey said with a smile. He couldn’t help but reach out to caress her belly.Two hours passed, and Melanie gave Annie a call.Annie said that t
William swiftly had dinner served in the living room.Professor Turner was already seated. He made no secret about it as he asked Jeffrey and Melanie, who had just entered the living room, “Done washing up?”Melanie’s face turned a bright red. Professor Turner’s suggestive choice of words embarrassed her thoroughly.“What are you doing just standing there? Come over for dinner, quick!” Professor Turner urged.Melanie looked down, not wanting to have dinner in such an awkward atmosphere. “I’m still not hungry. You two go ahead.”“If it weren’t for your pregnancy, I wouldn’t have needed to accompany you for your regular meals. I wouldn’t have gotten hungry so easily,” Professor Turner said, displeased. “Just ask him: who would dare to rush me to eat when I was busy?”Jeffrey said with a smile, “He’s not exaggerating. Professor never called anyone to eat. He himself didn’t have regular meals.”“Quick, eat it while it’s hot.”Professor Turner saw how embarrassed Melanie still was,
“Come and check up on me a few more times,” Jeffrey said, still trying his luck.“Is your condition that severe?” Melanie said as she glanced at him.“Don’t you know best whether my condition is severe or not?” Jeffrey said in half-seriousness.Melanie rolled her eyes. The only thing she knew was that he was strong enough to have to curb his strength in order not to hurt her!“Again, let’s not see each other so often before my mom recovers,” Melanie reminded him ruthlessly. Jeffrey’s eyes dimmed. She still didn’t trust him.However, the situation was tricky and precarious right now. He could understand why she was so jumpy and cautious.He finally agreed to it. “I’ll see you at the Yorks’ banquet, then.”Melanie acknowledged his statement in silence before turning to leave with Professor Turner.However, that night, William reported to Jeffrey, “President, we didn’t receive an invitation for the birthday banquet…”Jeffrey’s eyes flashed.How could that be? The Yorks had alw
