Chapter 20 Emergency
Chapter 20 Emergency
Jenny has to accept his offer for she worries Luke would suspect her if she finds more excuses. She
braces herself to follow him to the outpatient hall.
It’s weekend and there are really many patients. They even have to line up in front of the automatic
registration machine. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Luke points at the rest area and says, “Go and find a seat there. I’ll line up for a service number.” He
walks to the machine as he says, looking extraordinarily tall among the crowd.
Jenny sits next to the woman who should be pregnant for almost 8 months. The belly under the dress
looks like a round watermelon. Jenny can’t distract her attention from it and feels scared.
It’s rather scary...
“Hello, are you with your husband?” The woman, biting a crispy red apple and asks. It obviously
because she saw Jenny come here with Luke.
Jenny looks embarrassed and explains, “No, I...”
“Premarital pregnancy, right?” The woman seems to know everything. She talks to Jenny emotionally,
“Hey, you should have thought about yourself. He’s rather good looking. Don’t you worry he would treat
on you?”
Jenny goes speechless.
Before Jenny says something, the woman says to her ears, “Let me tell you this. Men are very likely to
have an affair when their wives are pregnant. In your case, you should pay attention to that!”
At this moment, Luke is back with a service number.
“It was a long queue.” Luke asks as he sees sweat welling up on Jenny’s forehead, “Well, are you
sick?”
Her mouth’s corners twitch.
She is not sick at all. She is just scared by the woman next to her.
The woman is sociable. When she sees Luke come back, she asks with a smile, “Your wife doesn’t
look obviously pregnant. I guess it’s been two months, isn’t it? She might kick off the quilt in this period.
You should take care of her.”
Luke doesn’t know what to say.
Jenny indeed kicked off the quilt the whole night and he tucked her in several times.
The woman ignores the look on Luke’s face and keeps talking to him passionately. She mentions that
the pregnant lose their temper easily, and hands and feet will bulge. So she even asks Luke to take
good care of Jenny.
When the woman is talking, her husband shows and leaves for the check-ups with her.
Before she leaves, the woman doesn’t forget to remind Jenny, “Listen to me, if you can’t get to his
heart, you’d better get to his money, in case you would get none of these!”
Jenny goes speechless and completely breaks down. She doesn’t know how to face this passionate
woman.
After she leaves, Luke sits down next to Jenny. Instantly, Jenny can’t feel more embarrassed. She
takes a peek at Luke who is frowning, and smiles awkwardly, “She’s pretty passionate, interesting...”
Luke nods and agrees, “But she was right. You kept kicking off the quilt last night.”
That makes Jenny’s face totally flush. She lowers her head down enough to reach her chest.
She’s not pregnant!!
Jenny expects that it would be a long turn to wait so that she can win more time before facing the
awkward moment. However, half an hour later, it’s their turn. Jenny becomes more nervous instantly.
What should she do? Is her number going to be shown on the screen?
She usually bites fingers when she is nervous. As she bites her fingers, she looks at Luke. She
unexpectedly finds him talking on the phone. He is frowning. Perhaps something bothers him.
“I get it. You deal with it. I’ll be back soon.”
Does he have an emergency?
Jenny thinks to herself. When Luke hangs up, she gets closer to him and says, “Mr. Lu, if you have an
emergency, you should go to deal with it. I'll just ask the doctor if I have anything.”
“Never mind. You’re the next one. Let’s wait.”
“I can. Trust me!” Jenny is worried that Luke refuses to leave. She incites him, “It must be something
urgent. Please go back. I can ask doctors for help if anything happens.”
