Chapter 379



Scarlett opened the door and found a female servant standing before her.

"Madam, sir's car has just passed through the main gate," the maid politely said. 

A radiant smile appears on Scarlett's face as she hurriedly runs to the first floor. The maid trailed behind, growing increasingly anxious. "Young Madam, please... please don't run," she pleaded while trailing behind her, fearful that her pregnant Madam might stumble down the stairs.

Scarlett dashed forward, completely forgetting about her pregnancy. She also ignored the maid's warning. Luckily, she reaches the main entrance unharmed. 

She stood there smiling happily to see the Rolls Royce approaching. Soon, the car halted in front of the main entrance.

"Xander!" Scarlett called as she ran towards him.

"Babe, please don't run." Xander expressed concern, fearing she might stumble in her haste. "Remember, you're pregnant now!" He said as he walked quickly towards her.

Scarlett ignores his words, instead throwing herself into his arms.

"I thought you would arrive late..." She smiles, looking at her handsome husband. 

"How could I do that? I already told you we would have dinner together," he lovingly replied as they entered the house. "How was your meeting with Cruz? Did you have a good time?" he asked. 

"Yeah, we discussed work and gossiped about the entertainment world too. But in the middle of that, someone suddenly visited," she said and told Xander about the uninvited guest, Theodor. Xander could only take a deep breath, he was used to Theodor's uninvited visits to their home.

...

Today, Xander's mood was somber. He longed to skip going to his office, but there was an important event that he couldn't postpone. Reluctantly, he had to leave Scarlett alone in the house, promising her that they would have dinner together.

Xander was grateful that he managed to return just in time for dinner.

They enjoyed their dinner while chatting about Scarlett's activities this afternoon with Cruz and Theodor. However, Scarlett deliberately avoided mentioning Rex, who was already aware of her pregnancy and had flown to the city. 

She also took the opportunity to remind Xander about their plan to have dinner at Theodor's house on Sunday, worried that he may have forgotten and made other arrangements.

"No worries, babe. I still remember," Xander reassured her with a smile, casting a glance in her direction. "And on Tuesday, we're also attending the King's Birthday party, right?" he asked. 

"Yes, I promised Theodor we would be there," Scarlett responded softly. Despite her promise to Theodor, she still felt uneasy about attending the party. She wouldn't have agreed to go if it hadn't been for Xander.

Shortly after they discussed the king's birthday party, their dinner came to an end.

Before they settled in for the night, Xander brought up their plan to visit the hospital the next day.

"Babe, what time are we going to the hospital tomorrow?" he asked as they lay in bed, ready to sleep.

"Nine in the morning!" Scarlett replied, her voice filled with nervousness. While she wasn't particularly fond of hospitals, this visit was different. She is excited yet anxious, wanting to have a thorough prenatal check-up.

Xander pulled her into his arms, enveloping her in a gentle embrace from behind.

"Don't be tense, baby. Everything will be fine," he whispered, sensing her body tensing up.

"Hmm, I know, but I still feel nervous. I'm afraid something might happen to our baby," she confessed softly.

"Our baby will be healthy, just like you." Xander tightened his embrace, providing comfort and reassurance. "I heard that Dr. Robert, the Divine Doctor, will meet us tomorrow, right?"

"Yes." Scarlett's lips curved into a small smile as she reminded herself of the wise old doctor.

Yesterday, after learning they would be visiting M Int'l Hospital, Scarlett called Doctor Robert to inform him about their upcoming visit.

She believed Doctor Robert was still traveling in Asia, selflessly offering his skills to those in need. However, surprisedly, she discovered that he had been back in town since Christmas.

"So, what are you worried about? You have him here. Everything should be fine, right?" Xander whispered, seeking to calm her anxious thoughts. He fell silent as she nodded in response, allowing her to find solace in sleep.

Scarlett also remained silent, her eyes closed as she tried to put her worries aside, trusting Doctor Robert's skill and presence.

The next morning. 

They arrived at M Hospital on time. 

Scarlett was delighted to see Doctor Robert Lewis, the doctor, who treated her father last year. She considered him not only her family doctor but also her own grandfather. 

"Scarlett, Xander, I'm so happy to see both of you again... finally," Robert said, extending his hand for a handshake. "And I'm so happy to hear the wonderful news. You guys will be wonderful parents..."

"Thank you, Grandpa Robert!" Scarlett smiled at him.

"Thank you for making time for us, sir!" Xander said politely.

"Okay, let's not talk here. Follow me," Robert said, leading them to a special elevator usually used by hospital executives or VVIP patients.

Scarlett was no longer surprised as they entered the elevator. She knew that Doctor Robert was one of the owners of the hospital. 

However, Xander was taken aback. He had already known this old doctor had a prominent name in the medical industry as a Divine Doctor. However, he didn't realize he was still actively involved in one of the best hospitals in Europe.

They followed Robert to the top floor and entered a large room with advanced medical equipment installed.

Several hospital staff members appeared busy with their respective tasks. Still, when they saw Doctor Robert's presence, they promptly ceased their activities and respectfully greeted him. 

Doctor Robert acknowledged their greetings with a slight nod and proceeded to explain about his office to Scarlett and Xander.

"Almost the entire floor is used as the workspace for me and my team. By the way, Scarlett, my most trusted gynecologist, will examine you in that room," Robert pointed toward one of the doors at the end before leading them into another room.
