Leonard has arrived at their house. This time he has no driver or bodyguards with him. He was in a hurry earlier when he found out that his wife rushed to the hospital, so he decided to drive independently.
He hurried out of the car, and immediately his bodyguards welcomed him. They bowed to him in reverence for his arrival. One of his bodyguards was supposed to take his briefcase, but he gestured at the same time said, "No need, thank you,"
It nodded at him in response. Leonard continued walking until he reached the door of their house. He immediately opened it.
When he entered the house, he was greeted by the aroma of the food cooked. The scent of it was very familiar to him. He smiled at what he smelled.

CHAPTER 36: MY CHECK-UPI had been pregnant for five months already and today is my schedule again for a check-up, but for me, today is special because today is the day of my ultrasound, so it means this is the day I will know the gender of my baby. I woke up early, immediately took a shower, dressed up, and ate very quickly so that we could leave early.I am very excited to go to the clinic already. If only I could fly to the hospital, I would, but I'm not a wonder woman, so it's impossible for me to do it, and do you know what else excites me more? It's because today, my husband will accompany me. Usually, when I went to the clinic, his younger brother Ethan was always with me because my husband was always busy in the company, but I still understand him. That's why when he offered to come with me today, I jump for joy only onto my mind for the reason that he wants to know the gender of our baby personally.He even took a leave of ab

His older brother wanted Alyssa will always be the one to understand him in everything.Sometimes, Ethan wishes for heaven that he would have been Alyssa’s husband so that she would not suffer and be hurt, but fate seems very cruel to him and Alyssa. For him, it was as if Alyssa was being used to being introduced by heaven to make his life miserable. Yes, it is true; his life has been miserable since he met Alyssa and loved her.

"Ethan, I'm here; what's wrong?" until I came to the living room.When Ethan saw me, he immediately hugged me tightly. I could feel his hug as if there was something that he seems to be feeling that he can't tell me. "What's wrong?" I asked him wondered why he was so emotional today?"Nothing, I just thought you were gone," he said."Why would I be lost? Didn't I say I'll wait?" I chuckled as I respond to him.He let go of his hug to me and asked, "Wait, what are you doing in the kitchen?""I felt hungry waiting, so I looked for food in the ref

He had to decide which of the two he should choose.He knew it wasn't easy because one of them would get hurt, but it would be better for him to do it today before everyone gets caught, but before he could make his plan for today, he called his girlfriend Elena again to let her know that he would accompany her to the hospital. He lifted his right hand, holding his cellphone near to his face just as he could see the letters on it. He redialed his girlfriend's number and started calling it. "Ring, ring, ring…!"
