Chapter 209 Mandy Is Pregnant Too?
When they arrived at the hospital, Madam Shaw led Susan straight to the specialist through the VIP channel.
Susan was clueless about the process, so she did not say anything when the doctor took an extra vial of blood from her.
The result for the general check-up was ready half an hour later, but the result for the DNA paternity test had to wait until the next day.
"Well, good news. The result came back clean. Both Mrs. Shaw and the baby are in good health," the doctor said, offering them a smile.
"That’s good to hear," Madam Shaw let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, doctor," Susan replied, a surge of relief washed over her face.
After that, Madam Shaw and Susan left the doctor's office. As they walked down the corridor, they bumped into Luke and Mandy.
'Why are they here?’ This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
That was the first thought that came into Susan’s mind.
Luke's dull and lifeless eyes lit up the moment he saw Susan. He tried to suppress the excitement and
greeted, "Long time no see, Susie."
Just when Susan was about to say something, Mandy stepped up and coiled her arm around Luke's. Pouting her mouth, she then said in her low, thrilling voice," Hurry up, Luke. Dr. Moore is
waiting for us. I can’t wait to know about the condition of our baby."
As she was speaking, she placed her hand gently over her stomach.
Instinctively, Susan glanced at Mandy's stomach and realization instantly dawned upon her. A genial smile crept onto her lips as she said calmly, "Are you expecting a baby? That's good. Congratulations to both of you!"
Luke's knuckles grew white as he clenched his fists. H e gnashed his teeth and tried to explain to Susan, " Listen to me, Susie. I..."
However, Madam Shaw gave him no chance to say a word. She interrupted coldly and said, "Susie, we have other stuff to do, so let's not waste our time here."
"Okay, Mom," Susan replied. Then, she nodded at Luke and Mandy and said, "Goodbye, Luke. Goodbye, Mandy."
With those words, Madam Shaw and Susan then left the hospital, leaving Luke to stare straight at Susan's back. His gaze was getting more and more intense as i f his eyes were going to burn through her.
He had fallen into his own world that he could not come to his senses even though Mandy had been
tugging at him.
A flush of indignation rose to her cheeks. However, she managed to keep the worst of her temple bridled. Taking a deep breath, she flashed a smile at Luke and said, "Luke, just now Madam Shaw and Susie seemed t o have come out from Dr. Moore's office too. Dr. Moore is the best obstetrician, so does it mean that Susan is pregnant too?"
'Susie... She is pregnant?'
Luke's vision seemed to have gone dark for a second a s he refused to believe it. Be that as it may, his rationality was telling him that Mandy's speculation was probably right. Considering the Straws' reputation in Ningcheng City, it went without saying that they would find the best doctor to take care of their family members' health. Dr. Moore might be the top obstetrician, but it did not mean that he excelled in other fields as well. Therefore, there was a high possibility that they came to find him for antenatal examination since he was the expert in maternity service.
'So does this mean that Susan is pregnant with Julian’s baby?'
When the thought flitted across Luke's mind, he felt a piercing pain in his chest as if someone was stabbing his heart.
"Alright, let's go in,” Mandy pulled Luke.
"Hold on, Mandy." Luke said, "I suddenly remember I have something urgent to take care of. You go to see D r. Moore first, I’ll catch up with you later."
Then, without waiting for Mandy to say anything, Luke turned around and dashed towards the entrance.
"Luke!" Many shouted angrily. She tried to stop Luke but to no avail. He did not even turn his head once and he soon left her sight.
She stomped her feet in frustration.
"Susan, Susan, Susan!" she bit out through gritted teeth.
She did not believe Luke at all when he said he had something urgent to do. She was certain he must have gone to chase after Susan.
Only Mandy knew how difficult it was for her to bear Luke's child. She had to go to the extent of drugging him or else he would never have sex with her.
Initially, she thought Luke would change his mind and settle down with her after she was pregnant, but apparently, she was wrong.
He forgot everything the moment he saw Susan.
Mandy had to take a few deep breaths to keep her emotions under control. With a cold face, she then walked towards Dr. Moore's office.
She pushed the door open and saw Dr. Moore was sorting out some papers. He did not realize she was there and kept mumbling something under his breath, "Rich people nowadays are all so weird. It has only been a few months, and she cannot wait to do the DNA paternity test. Just how..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly noticed that someone was looking at him. He jerked his head and was shocked to see Mandy standing at the door. However, he quickly calmed himself down and said, "Oh hey, Mrs. Jenkins, welcome, welcome. Have a seat."
"Hi, Dr. Moore,” Mandy walked into the office, "This is my report."
Seizing the opportunity while Dr. Moore was reading through her report, Mandy mulled over the things she overheard just now.
'It has only been a few months, and she cannot wait to do the DNA paternity test? Who is she? If she is a rich person, then...’
Mandy’s eyes rolled in her sockets and a figure swam into her mind.
Susan!
'She was the only one who came out of this office just now. Could it be that she's the one who wants to do the DNA paternity test?'
Mandy's eyes lit up with excitement as the thought popped up in her mind. She pressed down the surging emotion and went forward to sound out more information from Dr. Moore.
"Dr. Moore, just now I heard you said someone wants t
o do the DNA paternity test?"
"Oh, it's nothing," Dr. Moore denied, "Maybe you heard i t wrong,"
"Is that so?" Mandy smiled, "Well, maybe you're right."
It took him only a while to finish reviewing her report. Plastering a smile on his face, he said, "Well, there is nothing wrong with you or your baby. It's just that I hope that you can be more punctual on your next antenatal examination."
"Thank you, Dr. Moore," Mandy took over the report and left. There was a strange light flickering in the depth of her eyes.
She was very certain that Dr. Moore was holding something back.
Judging from his reaction and how he refused to talk about the topic, she reckoned that the person must be someone not ordinary. Besides, before she came here, Susan and Madam Shaw were the last ones to come out of his office, so after putting everything together, there was a very high possibility that Susan was the person.
Her uncle was the vice president of this hospital, so Mandy made a call to him.
"Hi, Uncle, I want you to help me check something..." Mandy briefed her uncle about the thing she wanted t o check and then hung up the call.
Her uncle was efficient. It did not take long before
Mandy got the answer.
Even though Madam Shaw had been very careful, she needed to go through the hospital if she wanted to do the DNA paternity test. It might have been a difficult task for normal people, but as the vice-president of the hospital, it was a piece of cake for her uncle to figure it out.
Just like what she had speculated, the person was indeed Susan.
Right now, her blood sample was inside the testing room, waiting for the professional to do the test.
Mandy rolled her eyes and an idea suddenly crossed her mind. She pitched her voice low and said, "I need you to help me do something, Uncle. I need you to switch Susan’s blood sample to another pregnant woman. What? You're worried about the Shaws? Rest assured, Uncle. As long as you make sure that you don't leave any tracks behind, the Shaws won't know about it. Besides, since they want to do the test, it's very obvious that they are skeptical about the baby’s identity as well. I’m sure they won't feel too surprised i f the report comes back as negative. Uncle, I've never begged you before, so please, you must help me this time!" 4
Mandy coaxed and pestered unceasingly and the person on the other side of the line could only agree to help her. 1
A triumphant smile hopped onto her lips after she hung up the phone.
'I would like to see how you're going to save yourself this time, Susan.'
Logically, both of them had no connection anymore since they had their own lives. However, Mandy was not reconciled.
She was not reconciled because she had to go through so many hardships to have Luke's child, while Susan did not do anything and she bore Julian's child as well.
What’s more, she was still hogging Luke although she already had Julian by her side.
As such, she felt a woman of loose morals like her did not deserve a happy life at all.
