Chapter 541 Pregnant With Twins
Matthew undid his apron and put it on the back of the chair before he walked over to Veronica. After he tilted her chin with a finger, he gently placed a kiss on her forehead. “I am fine as long as you are here. The only thing I worry about is how I will never be fine if you dump me one day.”
Matthew’s words had an underlying message, but Veronica pretended to not understand. She only pouted and boasted, “You will have to serve me well, then. Who knows if there will come a day when I dump you because I am not happy.”
“That, of course, is my fault when you put it that way.” Leaning close to her ear, Matthew lowered his voice as he murmured, “It seems I will have to work out more from now on. What am I going to do if my woman dumped me because I can’t ‘serve’ her well due to a lack of stamina?”
Veronica was stunned for a beat before she muttered, “You old pervert!”
“It has been years since I passed the legal age. You are not wrong for calling me old.”
“Pfft! Matthew Kings, you are getting more and more unscrupulous!” Veronica laughed, amused by Matthew.
“Alright, alright. Aren’t you going to see Yvonne? You should go now.”
“I am not going anymore. She is already on a plane.”
“Already?”
Matthew didn’t think too much about it.
With both his head and heart filled with Veronica, he didn’t care about other people, much less concern himself with them. “That works out just nice. I will take you to the hospital to check your throat.”
“It is just sore. I am not going to the hospital.”
In fact, Veronica didn’t have a sore throat at all. She would definitely get busted if she agreed on going to the hospital.
She got up and walked toward the bedroom as she waved dismissively. “You should get to work. I will sleep in for a bit. I might not have such a comfortable life in the future.”
“I will keep you company.”
Hearing that, Veronica quietly grumbled to herself, How am I supposed to get a pregnancy test if you are here?
“What are you keeping me company for?” She tried to shoo Matthew off. “I am still going to hang out with Ruka today. I can’t possibly let her see us together.”
“She won’t.”
Veronica was rendered speechless at his short reply.
Resigned, she could only call Ruka. “Hey, where are you?”
“You’re finally giving me a call, huh? I thought you went missing.”
Ruka continued to huff from the other end of the call. “I asked you to go find Hendrey with me, and you actually abandoned me and went home yourself!”
“Hehe, I didn’t have a choice. Speaking of Hendrey, have you found him?” Veronica acted all innocent.
She didn’t want Ruka to know too much about her relationship with Hendrey. The more Ruka knew, the worse it would be for her.
“I didn’t see him, but I heard he is fine.”
“That is good news. Are you free today? Do you want to go shopping?”
“Sure! When are we going?”
“I will go to you in a while.” Veronica proceeded to tell Ruka what time she would be there.
She had no choice but to ask Ruka out to go shopping together.
Now that they were together and Matthew was aware that Veronica would be leaving soon for hardcore training that would last half a year, Matthew tried his best to spend as much precious time with her.
On the other hand, she only wanted to get rid of him so that she could get a pregnancy test from a pharmacy and test if she was pregnant.
She honestly didn’t know what other excuse she could come up with, if not shopping.
After half an hour, Veronica successfully left Matthew as she drove to Luka’s.
As she was passing by a pharmacy, she stopped the car to buy a pregnancy test. She went as far as to buy five different brands, out of fear that one of them would be inaccurate. After that, she ran to a nearby public restroom, and did the test with all five sticks.
Her heart immediately dropped when she looked at all the two-line test results after five minutes.
Feeling uneasy, Veronica swiftly called Ruka and came up with a reason to suddenly not go.
She then quickly drove to the hospital, registered, and did an ultrasound.
After an hour-long wait, she finally got the ultrasound results, and was sitting in front of the gynecologist when the doctor cheered after reading the report.
“Oh my, you are such a lucky young lady. You are pregnant with twins!”
As a gynecologist, the doctor understood the joy of having twins, as not everyone could conceive twins.
However, Veronica didn’t want children now.
She had considered keeping the child if she turned out to be pregnant. After all, she had had an abortion before. Going through it again would be unfair for the child as it would be irresponsible to herself.
Receiving the unexpected ultrasound test result of her having twins, however, made her feel like the sky had fallen.
“Ma’am, have you decided which hospital you want to give birth in? If it is in our hospital, you can open a file first, and then come for an obstetric checkup.”
The doctor carefully looked at the examination report and continued, “The children’s condition is normal, but you must pay attention because they are twins. What about your husband? Did he not come with you for the examination?”
“Ha! He doesn’t know yet. Thank you, doctor. I will discuss it with my husband at home.”
Veronica got up, took the examination report from the doctor, and walked out of the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Standing in the hall on the third floor, she looked down at the report in her hand, and froze for a second before she threw it into the trash can.
“Roni?”
Someone suddenly called out from behind.
The shell-shocked Veronica was so preoccupied with the sudden news that she didn’t hear the voice at all, and she went into the elevator that brought her downstairs.
By the time Skyler, who was strolling along from the end of the corridor, ran to the spot where Veronica stood, he realized that the elevator had already gone downstairs.
“Did I get the wrong person?” he asked himself, confused.
As he wondered about that, his gaze drifted and happened to land on the report in the trash can.
Half of the report was peeking out from the can as it wasn’t properly dumped. Skyler then picked it up and took a look at it, only to be surprised when he saw the unmistakable words written on it—Veronica Murphy.
His face further fell after he swept through the content of the report. “Holy moly! Twins? Hell… Who is the father?”
Didn’t Roni and Matt break up? Did she cheat on him already?
No. That is not it.
Roni even called to ask about Matt a few days ago. It is unlikely she cheated.
He finally wondered, Could the children be Matt’s?
A nurse came running toward him in the middle of his musings.
“Dr. Robins? Dr. Robins! Why did you come here?”
He slipped the ultrasound result into his folder. “What is the matter?” he asked, to which she answered, “The doctor wants to see you.”
Hearing that, he nodded and left with the nurse.
Veronica had left the hospital and had driven to a park where she sat alone and spaced out.
Matthew didn’t call her either, as he didn’t want Ruka to find out about their relationship after Veronica told him that she would be spending time with Ruka.
At the same time, Matthew had taken some time out to busy himself with arranging official documents in his office when he received a call from Skyler. “Matt, where are you?” Skyler asked as soon as the call went through.
“The company.”
“Aye. Wait for me. I am on my way to you.”
After saying that, Skyler didn’t give Matthew any chance to speak and immediately ended the call.
Meanwhile, Matthew didn’t give it much thought as he put his phone aside and continued to work.
After half an hour, Skyler barged into the president’s office like a tornado and, when he stood in front of Matthew, hit the table as he gushed, “Matt, something big has happened!”
