Chapter 0115

While several pieces were shifting in Valeria, Peter was taking Mary to her first appointment with the gynecologist in Galea.

, and

“Hello, Dr. Andrew Roman. Yes, that was me. I had so many questions about the pregnancy that I couldn’t sleep.”

Mary was surprised to learn that Peter had been researching pregnancy and had already arranged an appointment with such a reputable doctor.

“Dr. Roman, I had a blood test three weeks ago, and it came back positive, but the technician said it was very early,” Mary explained.

“Miss Preston, as your husband mentioned in his midnight emails, if the conception is recent, the baby is still very small. However, it’s important to start monitoring things early. I’ll prepare to draw a blood sample and perform an ultrasound to determine the gestational sac size.”

Peter’s face turned red. He hadn’t expected the doctor to reveal his late–night emails so quickly. But after deciding to take care of Mary and her baby, he had panicked about how to properly care for a pregnant woman. Determined not to fail, he had spent hours searching for a good doctor and reading articles about pregnancy, which left him with plenty of questions.

“Alright, please relax and take a deep breath. Just a little prick, and I’ll take a bit of blood. This will help confirm the pregnancy,” the doctor said.

Instinctively, Mary reached for Peter’s hand. He took it firmly and reassured her, “Relax, everything will be fine. Remember, I love you.”

Those last words made Mary blush, but they also distracted her enough that she didn’t even notice when the needle was removed.
