Chapter 124

She nodded her head and smiled. "Yes. We were just classmates at first. After we got into arelationship, our parents kept rushing us to get married. So, we're getting ready to marry. I wantedto introduce him to you previously, but so many things have happened these days. I couldn't replace achance to tell you."

That was nice. Women who were in a relationship had love in their eyes, and their gazes wouldsparkle as well.

Indeed, many things had happened these days. I smiled and said, "I wish you happiness. Weshould eat together someday if we have time."

"Sure, Wanda. I'll leave first." Heidi looked so happy. She turned and left.

I looked at her back while feeling envious. How good i t was to be young, and how nice it must be tobe in a relationship.

That was when the phone rang. It was Cecilia, who invited me to go shopping in the evening. Shehad been staying at home these days because of Tyler. It seemed that she was bored.

I hung up the call after I promised to meet her in the evening.

When I was about to read the documents, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

I did not think that it would be Mason, whom I had not seen in a while.

"Are you busy? Am I disturbing you?" he asked when h e saw me slightly startled.

"No. It's been a long time, Doctor Lynch. Please take a seat," I spoke immediately.

"Are you free tonight?” Mason sat down. His facial expression was as indifferent as usual.

"I have a shopping date with Cecilia. What’s the matter?" He would not have come here for nothing.He must have a reason.

He remained silent for a moment before speaking up," It's nothing. Theo asked me to bring you tothe hospital for a check-up."

I subconsciously rejected him and replied with a cold expression, "My body's fine. I don't have to goto the hospital."

"Did both of you fight again?" he looked up and asked.

"Not really," I answered calmly. It could not be considered a fight since we were not in love witheach other and there was nothing between us.

Mason did not ask anymore. Looking at me, he said," You look terrible. It must be because of yourdepression. You have to learn how to release your emotions, don't bottle them up inside."

"I know." It was easier said than done.

The atmosphere turned quiet at once. After sitting for a while, Mason took out a packet of medicineand handed it to me. "This is to keep the baby healthy. Remember to drink it timely."

"Thank you." I reached out and took it from him. I appreciated it.

"It's my job." He turned and left after saying that.

I looked at the time and saw that I should be getting off work now.

I stood up and packed my things, then walked toward the parking lot. When I was just about toleave, I accidentally saw Zedd's car. There was a middle-aged man who was sitting beside him, and

his figure looked familiar to me.

It was the middle-aged man who kidnapped me last time!

Although I was too far away and I could not see his face, I found his build all too familiar. I could nothelp but to stop the car and take a good look at that middle-aged man.

However, they were driving too fast and disappeared out of my sight in just a second. I was stilluncertain whether it was the same man. I had no clue.

After hesitating for a moment, I decided to just stop thinking about it. I drove to the shopping mallwhere I was going to meet Cecilia.

Cecilia was nearly running out of patience by the time I arrived. She complained about mypunctuality. I apologized and bought her drinks. That woman finally stopped fussing about it after Icoaxed her for some time.

Upon entering the shopping mall, Cecilia pulled me into a mother and baby shop.

"Didn't you ask me to accompany you shopping? Why are we here?" I could not help but ask.

"Yes, you're indeed here to accompany me. You're four months into your pregnancy now. But as amother, you're not even worried. I, as your baby's godmother, have to take up the duty of preparingour baby’s essentials!" While Cecilia was talking, she was choosing a bunch of essentials.

"It's still early. There's no rush. Don’t buy too many things. I’m not giving birth to twins anyway andwe won’t be able to use these things all that much. Plus, the ones you're choosing are for boys.What if the baby is a girl?"

My palms started sweating when I saw Cecilia tossing in everything she saw into the shopping cartlike a nouveau riche. She should not be spending her money like this.

"What else? I don’t think these are enough. Our son should only use the best products. It's fine ifwe're having a daughter too. If she can't use these, I can still come here again to buy a new set ofthings." Cecilia was too generous.

I was speechless, but I could only quietly follow behind her.

It took only a short while to fill up the shopping cart. She even bought me skincare and underwearfor the third trimester of my pregnancy when my body would become bigger and swollen.

I could not help but sigh looking at the shopping cart filled with various types of things. "Cecilia, howconsiderate of you to think about these."
