Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 986

In the morning, Parker had arranged for the hospital's doctor to perform an ultrasound on Tiana.

And, with a bit of a cheeky move, he squeezed himself outside the ultrasound room, lifting the curtain slightly to sneak a peek at how the doctor was conducting the abdominal ultrasound on his lady. The moment he got the ultrasound image, his slender fingers trembled with excitement, and an indescribable expression crossed his handsome features.

The image was dark and indecipherable to him...

"Daddy! Let me see, I wanna see too!" Cherry, like a little munchkin, clung to the man's crisp trousers, trying her best to stand on tiptoes to catch a glimpse of the little sprout inside Mommy's belly.

"I can't make heads or tails of it, how could you?" Parker's tone was heavy, his brows furrowed.

"Mr. Parker, look here, this is the gestational sac." The doctor, trying not to laugh, pointed it out for him.

Parker stared at the tiny black dot in the middle, his expression suddenly darkening, "What's going on with it? Why is it so small? Does it not have a body?"

"..." The doctor, having been an OB/GYN for years, was taken aback.

After a moment of speechlessness, he coughed lightly, offering a gentle reminder, "Mr. Parker, Ms. Melford's baby is just about two months along. Strictly speaking, it's still just a little sprout, not yet developed. How could it have a body and facial features? Heh." "How can we tell if it's okay then? I don't care, do it again; I can't see anything clearly!" Parker's face was a mask of frost, his temples throbbing with tension.

Even Cherry glanced at her daddy, thinking he was being a bit unreasonable.

After all, even she understood that Mommy's baby brother or sister was still too small to be seen.

Daddy was making things difficult for the doctor.

The head of obstetrics, looking as uncomfortable as one could be, could only wipe the sweat from his brow and explain: "Mr. Parker, redoing the ultrasound won't change the image. We can see and hear the heartbeat and the embryo is developing quite well." "This is considered well? If anything happens, can you take responsibility?" Parker shot him a glare.

Inside the ultrasound room, Tiana, who had just managed to fix her clothes, was nearly at her wit's end.
