You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 120

Coralie didn't think the phone call from Skylar was about the pregnancy at all. She thought that there

was something wrong with Grandmother Holland. She got worried and hung up the phone quickly. After

asking for leave from her superior, Coralie hurried to the parking lot.

Skylar had been waiting for her in the car.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to Grandma?"

Coralie asked as soon as she got in the car.

"Grandma?" Skylar looked at Coralie's worried face. Then he said, "Valerie came to my office. She told

me..."

Hearing this, Coralie's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Valerie complained to Skylar about her attitude towards her during lunch?

She hurriedly said, "During lunch, I..."

"I know. Are you pregnant?"

Skylar thought that Coralie was going to explain about her retching, so he asked her first.

As soon as he blurted the question, Coralie reflexively asked, "How did you know?"

She didn't expect that Skylar would get wind of her pregnancy when she herself had just found out

about it.

Coralie's reaction had declared everything. She knew she was pregnant. Skylar started the car and

glanced at her, his expression was a little unpleasant.

How could he let someone else inform him about his wife's pregnancy?

"Why didn't you tell me about your pregnancy?"

Skylar asked her.

Coralie couldn't hide it, so she had to explain, "I found out only today. I didn't have a good appetite

recently. At noon, I remembered that my period was late by a week, so I went to buy a pregnancy test

kit..."

"But you didn't tell me about your bad appetite recently."

"I'm sorry. I'll tell you next time."

Coralie owned up to her mistake.

......

The car arrived at the hospital where Harvey was working in.

Skylar had called Harvey before he came and asked him to arrange everything because he couldn't

wait for another moment. He couldn't wait to verify whether Coralie was really pregnant or not.

Skylar parked the car and took Coralie into the hospital.

Harvey was waiting for them and ushered them to the blood sampling room.

Then he took some blood from Coralie's finger.

"How long will it take for the result to come out?"

"One minute, it will be ready soon." Harvey looked at Skylar who was so concerned about Coralie.

Skylar looked so nervous, so Harvey had to tease him, "Skylar, I didn't know that you like children."

Skylar exuded the impression of being a cold and aloof person, and he usually ignored children.

Harvey didn't expect that Skylar would show such turbulent emotions after knowing that his wife was

pregnant.

A minute later, Harvey took out the report. He looked at the data and nodded. "Yes, she's pregnant.

Would you like to do an ultrasound to confirm how far along she is?"

"Do it."

Skylar agreed immediately.

After undergoing the ultrasound checkup, it was confirmed that the child was about five weeks old.

Skylar calculated that the time of pregnancy was about the time when he came back from abroad after

the New Year.

Since Harvey was not a gynecologist, he took them to the hospital's gynecology department and

handed them over to another doctor.

The doctor in charge was Dr. Lanes who seemed to be in her fifties. At first glance, she looked like an

experienced gynecologist.

After reading the report, Dr. Lanes wrote on a small notebook for Coralie. "Well, the baby is less than

six weeks old. After this, just come back for your regular check-ups according to the dates on this

notebook."

Coralie opened the small notebook and looked at the check-up dates. She also carefully read about the

things that she needed to pay attention to during check-ups.

When Coralie heard the doctor say "baby", for the first time, she clearly realized that she was pregnant.

There was a baby in her belly.

Skylar stood behind Coralie and asked with concern, "Doctor, is there anything we should pay attention

to besides coming for regular check-ups?"

Dr. Lanes glanced at Skylar and said with a smile, "Usually, it's the mother who's more concerned with

the question. I didn't expect that it's the father who asked this time."

She addressed Coralie and Skylar as the father and mother, which stunned both of them.

Coralie touched her belly and suddenly felt happy to be pregnant. She was delighted that she could

become a mother.

Dr. Lanes took out a small notebook from beside her and said, "It's all written clearly in this. The first

three months are crucial. Don't do any strenuous exercise and no heavy food. Most importantly, no

s*x."

Then she delineated to Skylar and Coralie all the things that they should pay attention to.

The two listened carefully, just like novice parents.

They were so diligent, as if they would almost ask for a pen and paper to write it all down!

When they came out of the hospital and sat in the car, Coralie was still a little excited.

Skylar said, "Let's have dinner outside today. Tomorrow, I'll tell the cafeteria to prepare pregnancy

meals for all pregnant employees. I'll hire a stay home servant to cook for you every day."

Coralie, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was stunned. She didn't expect that Skylar had already

planned for dinner and her future diet in such a short time.

"I don't have to be so spoiled. I just need a balanced diet during the postpartum period to regain my

strength. If I eat too much during pregnancy, I might become plump."

"So what?"

Skylar was not at all averse to her getting plump. He just hoped for Coralie to be healthy and the child Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

to be born safely.

"So what? I need to be fit again after giving birth."

Getting fit was an ongoing process, a lifetime pursuit for most women. In the past, Coralie was working

hard and didn't gain weight easily, but that didn't mean that she wouldn't get plump now.

At this moment, Skylar's mobile phone rang.

Skylar glanced at the screen. It was Valerie who called. He told Coralie first, "Valerie's calling, I'll

answer it."

Then he picked up the phone.

It was such a trivial act, but it made Coralie feel that Skylar valued her very much.

When Skylar picked up the phone, Valerie, who was on the other side of the phone showed her

concern. "Skye, is Miss Chariott pregnant? How is the child? Is she healthy?"

Valerie's voice was delicate but full of concern.

"Well, we just went for a checkup just now. The child is very healthy."

Skylar answered Valerie's question without saying anything extra.

When Valerie heard that the child was healthy, she spoke as if she was relieved. "That's good, that's

good. I grew nervous when I saw you getting all anxious in the afternoon. It's good that everything's all

right."

"Well, thank you. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."

Skylar was occupied with his future plan about Coralie and their baby, on how to create a comfortable

life for the both of them in the next ten months. Hence, he had no intention to say more to Valerie.

Valerie was not someone to pester incessantly. She immediately said, "Sure, Skye, goodbye. Say hello

to Miss Chariott for me. If you need any help, just let me know."

However, what Skylar couldn't see was that Valerie, who pretended to be so concerned on the other

side of the phone, had a terribly icy expression on her face.
