Chapter 486 My Fault

Upon arriving at the hospital, Lenora collected the medical form from the doctor. She then proceeded to have a fetal heart rate monitoring, an ultrasound, and a Down syndrome screening.

Zachary took the medical form from Lenora's hand and glanced at it, raising an eyebrow. "Sixteen weeks?"

"Yes." Lenora maintained a calm expression.

It seemed that Zachary, like her, also believed that the child was conceived during their time in Fairlake.

Zachary silently calculated the time. Four months ago, isn't that when...

Their eyes met, and Lenora could vaguely discern a hint of pride in his gaze. Feeling a flush creep up her cheeks, she pinched him hard on the waist and averted her gaze, muttering, "You think you're so great." Zachary gave a slight smile, wrapping his arm around her waist. He leaned in, whispering something into her ear.

A blush crept up on Lenora's cheeks, and a mix of embarrassment and annoyance flashed in her eyes as she glared at him. Her eyes sparkled, filled with an effulgent light. She covered her belly as if afraid the child inside might hear. "You dare to say that again?" "I won't say any more."

Zachary appeared to be scared of her, shutting his mouth. Yet, the corners of his eyes and brows held a teasing smirk, revealing his deep affection for her adorable, feisty anger.

Had they not been in a hospital, he would have likely succumbed to the urge to kiss her slightly upturned, rosy lips.

Without a backward glance, Lenora walked away, not caring whether Zachary chose to follow or not. It's better if he doesn't follow me. He is completely preoccupied with that particular matter.

Zachary strode quickly to catch up with her, taking hold of her hand.

Once outside the examination room, Lenora found a spot to sit down, waiting for her number to be called.

Zachary took a seat beside her, gripping her hand and gently toyed with it in his palm.

Upon a certain thought, he leaned in slightly, expressing his relief in a low voice, saying, "Thank goodness he's well-built..."

"Hmm?"

"We really had our fair share of fun back in Fairlake..."

Lenora gave him an annoyed glance and murmured, "I had some bleeding that time, and I thought it was just an irregular period..."

"I'm sorry. It's my fault for not knowing my limits."

Zachary found himself thinking back to the times when he used to tease her. Back then, he didn't know she was already carrying their child. Fortunately, nothing went wrong. Otherwise, it would be too late for regrets.

"That's enough."
