Chapter 25 Resist it for Half a Month
The next day, Rae woke up. After washing herself, she went to the living room and saw Jensen sitting at the table with a tablet in his hand. A cup of warm milk was put before her seat. Rae picked it up and swigged down the milk. She had a loud burp before she finished and she felt like the whole body refreshed. She put down the cup and something came to her mind. She said, "You are going to do a physical examination today, right?"
Hearing her burp, Jensen threw a glance at her and said, "How can you change this bad habit?" She burped so loud like a man did while drinking beer. Couldn't she restrain herself?
"If you dislike it, you can go to find..." "Yes, I'm going to get a physical examination." Jensen interrupted Rae at once when Rae was about to mention Karina.
"I can go with you." Rae said, "I want to have a baby, so I might as well have a pre-pregnancy examination." Though the doctor said she was very healthy before, she was not pregnant from then onwards, so she wanted to have a second check.
Seeing that she was serious, Jensen agreed.
They went out together.
Jensen had a physical examination in the hospital where Rae's father stayed. Since they had different check-ups, they went their separate ways. It took Rae a long time to finish all the examinations. When she finished, she sat and waited for Jensen on the corridor, but Jensen didn't show up. She was thinking why Jensen spent more time on examination than she did. She was unable to sit still so she decided to walk to the inpatient department to see her father.
Actually, Jensen had finished already and the report came out. He was very healthy.
He was now sitting in the director's office, waiting for Rae's report.
After a few minutes, the director came out with the report in his hand and looked terrible. He sat down and said with difficulty, "Mr Knight, Miss Jordan..."
"Before you took office, your predecessor was in charge of it. I knew the situation very well. Just tell me how serious it is." Jensen entwined his fingers on his abdomen. Compared with the director, he was much calmer.
The director breathed a sigh of relief and put it blunt, "Miss Jordan's endometrium is only 4 millimeters. The normal is 8 to 10 millimeters. From this point, it's very difficult for her to get pregnant. Even if she is pregnant, she is very likely to suffer miscarriage. So..." The director threw a glance at Jensen. Though Jensen looked calm, the director sensed his disappointment when Jensen looked down. It seemed that Jensen loved her very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't hide the truth from her. The director comforted, "Let me prescribe some medicine for her to supplement her estrogen. Then..."
"Thanks. But she had tried before and it doesn't work." Jensen interrupted the director and got up to leave the office.
He received a text message from Rae who said that she was in her father's ward. Jensen was going to her but ran into her downstairs. Rae was chatting with a pregnant woman and fixed her gaze on that woman's belly. Jensen couldn't hear the pregnant woman and only saw Rae scratch her head shyly.
Jensen stepped forward.
"Remember to do what I told you. It may increase the odds. I'd better go back to the ward. I feel tired after standing for so long." The pregnant woman finished talking and left.
Rae turned around and decided to go back, but when she saw Jensen standing behind her, she laughed at once. She took a step forward and held his arm. She asked, "What are the results? How about me?" Rae knew that Jensen was waiting for the report from his message. No wonder it took him so long.
"Everything is fine." Jensen said and then asked, "Is your father alright?"
"He's in therapy, so I come out. Now that we are healthy, can we have a baby?" Rae held Jensen and walked, "That woman is pregnant with twins. She mentioned that the gestures really matter, and she told me to put a pillow under my waist when we have sex, because it may increase the odds."
Her voice was not low. Occasionally, some men passed by and gave Jensen a look as if implying something. Sensing others' gaze, Jensen felt his ear burning.
Rae didn't notice it and said to herself, "Jensen, why don't you resist it for half a month? When my ovulatory period comes, you have sex with me and the odds can be..."
Jensen couldn't help but cough. He can't calm down until he coughed violently. His face turned red and his chest heaved. He looked at her and said seriously, "Rae. What do you mean? How could you say that in public?"
"Am I wrong?" Rae glared at him. It was a serious topic, wasn't it? She was rarely so serious, but he didn't allow her to say that! Rae could only hold back her words that were on her lips. She kicked the floor with anger and mumbled, "We are both healthy, why can't I be pregnant?"
Sensing her frustration, Jensen looked after her, pondering.
What should he do?
Would she be suspicious if she couldn't have a baby all the time?
"Jensen, come to pay!"
Rae's voice made him come to senses. She was frustrated just now, but the next second she was thirsty for the delicate cake in front of a stall. Jensen stopped worrying and stepped forward to pay. for it. Wher she got on the car, she just can't wait to have it.
The radio was broadcasting the entertainment news.
Hearing the news about Louisa, Rae was so surprised that she stopped eating, "No way! Her face smashed? Who did it! It's so horrible!"
Jensen focused on driving and did not answer her.
Horrible?
He regarded it as a just punishment.
The car stopped in front of JF Building.
Rae got off the car and threw the cake box to Jensen, "I left half to you. Remember to finish them." With that, she slammed the door and headed for the building. Jensen opened the box. Rae indeed left really a half for him.
A half without fruit filling.
Jensen was amused by her way of doing things. He picked up the cake and ate it while driving away.
Rae went to the 16th floor. Before she got to the door, her secretary ran out and said nervously, "Miss Jordan, an important client came today. Guess who she is?"
"Be serious!" Rae hit the secretary's head.
She hated guesses.
The secretary touched her head and was grieved, "Karina is here."
Rae paused and asked in confusion, "Why she came?"
"She has hired some young stars in her studio and she wants us to hype up them. By the way, your friend, Isabella, took her here. They are waiting in your office." the secretary answered.
Isabella.
Karina.
Rae was lost for words. What was wrong with Isabella? Why did Isabella have a better relationship with Karina? Though she said to Isabella that she wouldn't mind of her making friends with Karina at all, she didn't really mean it. Why did Karina choose her company? Does she have faith in her ability or have some other purposes? Rae fixed her hair and walked into her office. She intended to ask Isabella what was going on.
Hearing the cracking sound, Karina stood up politely and greeted her with a smile when she saw Rae, "Miss Jordan?"
Rae admitted that she was impressed by Karina's gentle smile and soft voice. She threw a glance at Isabella and turned her gaze at Karina. "Hello. I am Rae."
"Glad to meet you, Rae, that's a good name." Karina smiled again.
Rae was aware of Karina's gentle and bright smile. She was sure that Karina always lived a happy life because she was like a girl who grew up under the protection. It seemed she didn't suffer any hardship otherwise she couldn't put on such a bright and innocent smile.
"You came to me for cooperation, right?" Rae stopped her speculation and put it straight. Karina seemed to come here for business instead of making a fuss. And Isabella must make this introduction because she felt she really need money. Anyway, Isabella could not introduce Karina to her rival, so perhaps she was her only choice. Thinking of that, Rae felt herself too suspicious.
"I want to start my business in this industry. However, I have no experience. Isabella introduced you to me and she said you were great." Karina said seriously.
Karina put on a sincere look and said gently. The offspring from the rich family may be very arrogant, but she was not. She didn't threaten her to work for her. Rae suddenly felt guilty. Why was she guilty? "Let me get you a cup of coffee." Karina didn't drink the tea on the table. Seeing that, Rae turned around to go out.
When she was making coffee in the pantry, Isabella came in.
"Rae, you won't be angry with me, will you? When Karina talked about starting a business, I thought about you. I felt it inappropriate later, but I had introduced you to her." Isabella looked at Rae and apologized.000☐☐☐
