Chapter 605: If Not Sterling, Then Who Suffers?
They’re afraid to step into Aethelgard, yet they dare reach towards The Empire’s south...
They even made a move against the Jennings family...
Just at this crucial moment.
Sterling Norwood gripped the railing in front, gradually relaxing his hold.
The veins on his arms slightly protruded from the force.
*
The next day.
Sterling Norwood took Selena Kensington to Veridia Hospital for a check-up.
Upon arriving at Veridia Hospital, doctors and nurses arranged by Sterling were already waiting.
"Family Head, Lady, please follow me."
A nurse led them to the examination area.
Once they reached the examination area, the nurse stopped, "From here, Family Head needs to wait outside."
Selena nodded, turned around, and handed her bag to Sterling, "Wait for me outside."
"Alright."
Sterling responded.
Selena came closer to take a careful look at Sterling.
"Why does it feel like you’re a bit distracted today..."
"Alright, stop worrying, I’m going in."
Selena muttered.
She hoped that before anything happened to her as a pregnant woman, Sterling wouldn’t be the one with problems.
Sterling heard Selena’s words and chuckled, "Go on inside."
Selena glanced at him and then followed the nurse inside.
....
After all the tedious examinations were completed, it was basically more than an hour later.
Selena emerged from the examination room and saw Sterling obediently waiting on the bench outside.
Selena smiled and walked over.
"Being so well-behaved?"
Sterling stood up, wrapped his arm around her waist, "Is the check-up done?"
Selena nodded, "Yes, now waiting for the results."
"Any discomfort?"
Sterling continued to ask.
Seeing the tension and care in Sterling’s eyes, Selena couldn’t help but laugh again.
"Don’t be so nervous. You see, ever since I got pregnant, I’ve been bouncing around without any issues."
The unease and anxiety Selena felt from being pregnant were considerably eased by Sterling’s reactions and attitude over the past few days.
Now, her mood was quite cheerful.
Aside from feeling drowsy and fatigued, she hadn’t experienced any adverse reactions.
Nor did she encounter the problem Sterling previously feared about the newborns consuming her Heavenly Master Power.
Moreover, Selena was quite excited about the arrival of new life, so she had been cooperating actively.
After waiting outside for a while, a nurse came out.
"Family Head, Lady, the results are in."
"Please come inside."
The nurse made a ’please’ gesture after speaking.
Sterling held Selena’s waist and walked inside.
As they entered, the doctor holding the ultrasound images said, "Congratulations to both of you, congratulations."
Selena was a bit puzzled.
"Doctor, what’s the matter?"
The doctor said to Selena with a joyful expression, "Lady, you have two new lives in your belly."
Selena was momentarily stunned.
One hand instinctively touched her lower abdomen.
She was pregnant with twins?!
Selena couldn’t help but look at Sterling.
She saw Sterling also standing there in a daze, lost in thought.
Selena thought for a moment and didn’t immediately ask him.
Later, the doctor informed Selena of some precautions for pregnant women and the need for regular check-ups.
"... That’s about it."
Once the doctor finished speaking, Selena was almost dizzy from listening.
Why is pregnancy so troublesome?!
Need to watch out for this, pay attention to that...
There’s also a whole heap of dietary restrictions...
Sterling supported her shoulder from behind, allowing Selena to lean slightly against him.
The doctor looked up at Sterling, "During pregnancy, it’s important to pay attention to the emotions of the pregnant woman. Some people’s mood can change quickly during pregnancy and might act differently than usual."
"They might have strange requests and ask peculiar questions."
"But this is normal, especially after three months of pregnancy, these reactions can become more pronounced."
"During this time, try to accommodate her more and keep her in a good mood."
"Try not to trouble her with worrisome matters."
The doctor offered a lengthy list of advice to Sterling.
Sterling nodded slightly, "Understood."
After hearing all this, Selena followed Sterling out of the doctor’s office.
"Ah, being pregnant is really troublesome..."
Selena stretched lazily, her voice a little weary.
Initially, unaware of her pregnancy, Selena attributed her fatigue to staying indoors too long.
Later, upon learning she was pregnant and that these were normal reactions, Selena allowed the fatigue.
Overall, she felt increasingly lazy.
"Watch where you step."
Sterling reminded her helplessly from behind.
Selena turned back with displeasure, muttering, "I’m not stupid; I won’t trip walking on flat ground!"
"And what were you thinking about just now, being so absent-minded!"
Selena had noted Sterling’s odd behavior, especially when the doctor mentioned she had twins, with Sterling becoming dazed on the spot.
He didn’t react for a long time.
It wasn’t until the doctor was almost finished speaking that Selena saw him come back to his senses.
During pregnancy, women are sensitive and changeable, and just as Sterling spoke, Selena’s imagination ran wild.
"..."
Sterling was left speechless and unable to retort.
Thinking that what the doctor mentioned had just arrived.
His wife was more easily irritated than before pregnancy, ready to fire back at anything.
But clearly, he couldn’t say anything to her now.
Sterling stepped forward and said, "I wasn’t thinking about anything."
He softly coaxed Selena, then led her to take the elevator downstairs.
In the elevator, Selena seemed deeply aggrieved.
She pinched the soft flesh at Sterling’s waist.
She pouted and spoke up.
"Do you think now that I’m pregnant, I can’t keep you in line..."
"Did you just forget what the doctor said?"
"Just because I’m pregnant doesn’t mean I don’t have the strength to hit you."
Selena threatened ’menacingly’.
Yet her voice was gentle, and the expression on her face was far from fierce.
Instead, it carried a hint of an adorable, fierce tone.
"...?"
Sterling was initially stunned, a question mark slowly appearing in his mind.
Seeing Selena’s adorably fierce face, he couldn’t help but find it funny.
"I was thinking of something, I’ll tell you later, okay?"
"Don’t be angry..."
His voice was incredibly gentle, unchanged from their usual conversations.
The tenderness in his eyes seemed to drown anyone.
Selena blinked and swayed slightly.
"Hmm..."
"Alright, then."
She wasn’t truly mad at Sterling.
Just had a pent-up frustration needing to vent.
Sterling just happened to be nearby and had said something provoking.
So if not Sterling, who else?
