And so, Renee and Margaret came to the private maternity hospital where Renee often got herprenatal checkups.
As they were waiting for Renee’s turn, Margaret kept holding Renee’s arm and carefully checked herpulse.
“Your pulse is normal, Miss Renee. Your babies should be fine. You shouldn’t allow a dream to scareyou sick. Let’s just knock on wood, and everything will be fine.”
Renee nodded but was still full of concern.
’I know my precious little cubs are fine since I’ve been strong and fit all the while. But I just can’t stopmyself from worrying. I can’t shake off the feeling that something might happen.”
“Shush! Don’t speak of such inauspicious things, Miss Renee! You might not believe anyone, but youmust believe the traditional medical
knowledge that I learned from my family. You know that I can treat any illness under the sun byprescribing a few herbs! I’m telling you, there’s nothing to worry about.”
“You’re right. With a medical genius like you by my side, I’ve simply got nothing to worry about!”
Renee finally felt slightly more at ease as she walked into the doctor’s office. Her report came out in notime, and it was found that both of her babies were healthy and were developing well. They appearedto have been completely unaffected by her activities. It also seemed that her unborn children hadbecome quite resilient.
“Ms. Everheart,’ said the doctor, “in one week, the fetuses will be three months old, which means thatyou’ll be entering the second trimester, the most comfortable stage of the pregnancy. Your morningsickness will gradually disappear, your appetite and your energy will improve, and your babies will bestronger and more resilient. You’ll also start to have a visible belly, so you should change into morecomfortable clothes. Do remember to take your calcium supplements, and make sure you get a goodsleep every night.”
After speaking, the doctor simply prescribed some calcium tablets and vitamin supplements and calledfor the next patient.
With the checkup report in her hand, Renee cheerfully waved at Margaret, who had been waiting forher outside the doctor’s office, and told her, “It’s just as you said! They’re perfectly fine! I’ve beenworried sick for nothing!”
“I’m glad to hear it, Miss Renee! I’m glad to hear it!”
Margaret was smiling from ear to ear. She was glad to see that the Everheart family, after having fallenfrom grace, was starting to slowly return to its former glory, not to mention they were about to welcomethe sprouting of two new branches! She was happy for the late Mr. and Mrs. Everheart, who had diedwith regrets, and even happier for the late General Everheart!novelbin
The two then left the hospital and waited for a cab beside the road.
Renee, however, ever perceptive, could sense that something didn’t seem right. She kept feeling theurge to turn around her.
“What’s wrong, Miss Renee?”
“I think we’re being followed!”
Renee maintained a calm and cheerful demeanor as she chatted with Margaret, but she lowered hervoice as a warning of vigilance.
“What?” Margaret instantly got nervous. She stretched her neck and looked around her, asking, “We…We’re being followed?!’
“Don’t turn around!” Renee reminded Margaret. “Let’s just pretend that it’s all fine and just walk ahead.”
Margaret swallowed her saliva, fearing the worst. She wrapped her arms around Renee and told her,“Could it be your enemy trying to take revenge on you? I’ll protect you, Miss Renee, but you must findan escape route immediately!”
“Don’t panic,” Renee calmly told Margaret. “I don’t think it’s my enemy, because they wouldn’t follow usthis far without doing anything.”
“Then who could it be?” Margaret wondered aloud.
As they were about to turn a corner, Renee suddenly stopped, and with her back towards that shadowyfigure who had been hiding from her, she yelled, “Stop hiding! I know you’ve been following me, so justshow yourself! ■
As expected, a tall well-built man clad in black clothes and with a peaked cap on his head slowlywalked out from behind a standing sign.
Never would Renee have expected that her stalker turned out to be Stefan Hunt’s best friend, CeciliaSmith’s loyal defender, and the eldest son of the Stuart family-Xavier Stuart.
