Chapter 828 - That Child Is Mine!

Lawrence muttered a few words to himself, picked up his dropped medicine box, and sneered. "I'm a surgeon, what genius do you think I am? How do I check for things like pregnancy? Do you think my eyes are X-rays?"

Leonard stopped talking!

Lawrence approached with the medicine box and snorted angrily. "How can I check if you're there! Get up quickly and let me work."

He pushed Leonard away. After that, he took out the stethoscope from the medicine box, reached out his hand to lift the light blanket, and was about to lift Mellisa's shirt.

"What are you doing?!" Leonard was clearly displeased.

Lawrence squeezed the stethoscope. "If you're still doubting me, I'm leaving now!" 

After saying that, Lawrence was relieved to see Leonard's flat expression and foolish tolerance.

He rolled his eyes triumphantly, and placed the stethoscope along the corner of his clothes on the lower left of Mellisa's stomach.

During this period, Leonard watched her movements intently.

Looking at the stethoscope moving on Mellisa's stomach from left to right, he hurriedly stepped forward until Lawrence pulled him in. "How is it?"

Lawrence took off the stethoscope and said with a sigh. "When I was at school, I didn't have much experience with pregnancy. I only studied the theory, so this is the first time I've tried listening to the fetal heart with a stethoscope."

Leonard's pupils shrank, his eyes dangerous. "Then?"

Lawrence curled his lips. "Although I have acquired knowledge from books, I myself have confidence in my medical skills. Congratulations, Young Master of the Adler Family, your woman is indeed pregnant! I could hear the vague heartbeat of her baby."

All of this makes Leonard shocked.

He was caught off guard with the last words that Lawrence said.

Mellisa is actually pregnant!

Excitement rushed inside him like a tsunami.

After a long time of working hard, a miracle has come!

Mellisa is pregnant with his child!

However... Leonard's joyful feelings did not last long.

He was stunned. Since Mellisa was pregnant, why did she choose to leave?

Does that mean... She never wanted to involve him with this child?

Or, has she decided that she doesn't want to reconnect with him?

With this confession, the joy on Leonard's handsome face was instantly replaced by a heavy touch.

Mellisa was still willing to stay and take care of him, especially after all the facade he put up just to convince Mellisa's heart. 

Therefore, before they get back together, it seems like he can just keep pretending.

Leonard's eyelids fluttered, and his mind was clouded by two emotions, like ice and fire, which made him unable to calm down for a long time.

Lawrence on the side saw his strangely changing appearance. He put his stethoscope back into the medicine box, walked forward and smacked his shoulder. "What are you thinking? It's obvious she's pregnant with someone else's child, why don't you just kick her out immediately?"

Leonard's eyes were cold as he recovered. "That child is mine."

"Yours?" Lawrence felt nothing but laughter. "Take your words back! Obviously a doctor has to wait about four months to hear things like fetal heart. And how long have you been since you returned to Bandung? It's been almost five months. So how could the child be yours?"

Lawrence said with a serious expression and every word was filled with taunts.

Leonard held his temper, not wanting to argue with him, and changed the subject with a frown. "Since she's pregnant, why did she faint?"

Hearing his voice, Lawrence realized that this friend didn't want to continue the topic, and rolled his eyes at Mellisa again."What was she doing before she passed out?"

Leonard was silent.

"Hurry up and say it!" Lawrence looked at Leonard. "There are many situations when a pregnant woman faints. Tell me what she was doing before she fainted. Let me… guess!"

"Guess? You want to diagnose it based on your guess?"

Lawrence stretched the neckline of the white coat with both hands. "I'm a surgeon, not an obstetrician and gynecologist!"

Leonard pursed the corners of his mouth and coughed. "Oh, before she passed out, she was bathing me!"

Lawrence was dumbfounded, and only quietly extended his thumb to express his admiration.

In Leonard's bedroom right now, even the sound of needles dropping could be heard.

After a while, Lawrence concluded. "If this is the case, I think it might be due to hypoxia. This situation is very common among pregnant women. In the future, try not to let her go to places with heavy crowds or poor air circulation."

"She also vomited really badly just now, is there a way to relieve it?"

Leonard asked very seriously.

However, when Lawrence heard this, he packed up his medicine box without saying a word, turned around and left.

"Why did you go?" Leonard stared at his figure, his tone extremely harsh.

Lawrence walked to the door, grabbed the handle, and rolled his eyes as he snorted coldly. "I'm really amazed at you who are usually meticulous and smart! We've known each other for a long time, have you forgotten what I do? I'm a surgeon, how could I bring medicine for pregnant women! I'm going to the hospital now, looking for an obstetrician and gynecologist to help you and asking how to relieve morning sickness!"

When the words fell, he opened the door and hurried off.

Perhaps it's because of his canceled flight that he slammed the door loudly.

Leonard looked at the closed door, pursed his lips and shook his head. He then walked to the side of the bed and his gaze fell on Mellisa's face.

He didn't want this woman to run away again in this life!

Suddenly, Leonard stopped as he caressed Mellisa's cheek, his eyes accidentally caught something in her breast pocket, it seemed like it was a card.

He turned and looked suspiciously, and his handsome face immediately sank.

How could there be Lyle's business card?!

What did Lyle want to do to her?

Fuck!

...

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Melissa woke up.

She slowly opened her eyes, only to feel the refreshing freshness from her forehead.

Mellisa raised her hand and touched it, it was a towel.

She blinked and removed the towel from her head. Just as she was about to sit down, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

This room… was not her bedroom.

Mellisa turned her head in amazement, and for a moment, Leonard's handsome sleeping face beside her came into view.

And they were still covered with the same thin blanket.

Mellisa moved slightly to the side of the bed, but there was a storm surging in her eyes.

How could she sleep in the same bed as Leonard?!

Mellisa moved carefully to get out of bed, tapping the corner of her forehead, trying to remember what had happened earlier.

She remembered… She seemed to be throwing up again.

Leonard was there at that time!

Remembering this, Mellisa bit her mouth sharply.

She curled her hands and fell into panic. Did the man find out about her?!

Mellisa suppressed her emotions, turned around slightly and peeked at the bedside, and then saw Leonard had opened his eyes and was staring at her.

She opened her mouth but forgot to speak.

At this moment, Leonard's palm touched the bed, his eyes languidly facing Mellisa. "Are you up already?"
