Chapter 13

Louise looked down and suddenly noticed that the light outside the courtyard was on, and Melvin was closing the door.

She immediately walked downstairs and shouted at Melvin, “Melvin.”

Melvin turned around and respectfully asked, “Miss Adkins, haven’t you slept yet?”

“Hmm. I was awakened by something just now. I found Brian wasn’t in the house. Where did he go?”

Melvin lowered his eyes slightly, but his mind was turning quickly. He calmly said, “It seems the company has something urgent.”

“Really?” Louise pursed her lips.

“I’m not sure about the specifics,” Melvin replied.

Louise nodded and turned back to the room.

Not long after, Brian and Grace arrived at the hospital. Grace followed Dr. Ford’s instructions and found Dr. Stewart. Dr. Stewart nodded to her and took her to the second floor while saying to Brian, “The family is outside. I’ll take her for a check–up first.” Brian nodded slightly.

Dr. Stewart closed the door and said to Grace, “Follow me.” Dr. Stewart led her through a door, through a corridor, and up to the third floor, which was the OB/GYN department.

After the examination, Grace asked anxiously, “Doctor, how is it? Is there anything wrong with the baby?”

“There is a slight bleeding. Did you stand too long today?”

Grace nodded.

“Remember not to stand like this again. I’ll give you some medicine later, and you’ll have to take a drip. Then you have to rest well when you get home.”

“Thank you, doctor.”
