Chapter 865 - She’s My Future Wife!
That night, around six o'clock, Leonard took Mellisa back to Bandung and directly to the Brawijaya Private Hospital.
When Mellisa saw this hospital building, she couldn't help but look at Leonard suspiciously. "What are you doing here?"
She knew that there were two hospitals in Jakarta that were owned by the Adlers and this was probably also owned by them.
Leonard drove the car straight into the parking lot. When he unbuckled his seatbelt, he saw Mellisa's lower belly. "Check up!"
Mellisa followed his gaze and turned her gaze to her stomach, then she reached out and touched it. After touching, an 'Oh' sound is heard.
It made her remember that she almost forgot she was pregnant.
Due to the news that Doctor Verdy delivered at that time, she immediately stopped smoking and drinking, ate regularly, and everything was quite stable.
Leonard looked at Mellisa's indifferent brows and leaned in, then covered the back of her hand with his palm. "This is our first child. As the father, I have to make sure our child is safe."
Mellisa felt Leonard's affectionate touch and smiled slightly. "Let's go then, I'm also wondering if it's a boy or a girl! I heard Lilia say that she can find out the gender once she's more than four months pregnant!"
"No need to rush!" Leonard shook his head and whispered, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, they're still our child. I have informed the head of the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department that the gender of this child must be kept confidential throughout the entire process."
Melissa was surprised. "Why?"
Leonard pursed his lips and pinched her cheeks. "Because I don't want people to get their hopes up."
It seems reasonable!
She vaguely remembered that Claire had also asked the hospital to tell her whether the baby was a boy or a girl beforehand. Because of this, the Austin family's Patriarch's hopes of having a grandson were dashed and he felt somewhat sad for a while.
Even Lilia hesitated to tell Kaleb that she was pregnant because she didn't want to disappoint his expectations at that time.
Mellisa thought a little and agreed with what Leonard planned because he was actually right. It doesn't matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, their child is still their first child.
Simply put, Mellisa didn't argue anymore, and after getting out of the car with him, they went straight to the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department.
Even though this is a private hospital, because of the help of many well-known doctors, the various departments at Brawijaya Hospital are always crowded.
Leonard walked to the independent consultation room of the obstetrics and gynecology department with Mellisa.
As they walked, a woman around fifty years old saw the figures of the two of them.
Seeing Leonard's figure, she raised her head, and smiled kindly. "Leonard, you are here!"
"Aunt Filin."
This woman named Filincia was an important person from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
After retiring from a general hospital, Brawijaya Hospital specifically hired her as a consulting expert.
She showed kindness and gestured to Leonard. "Come in and let Auntie have a good look at you. We haven't seen each other in years."
Leonard hugged Mellisa's waist and walked over to the examination table. Before sitting down, he introduced. "This is Aunt Filin."
"Auntie, hello!"
Mellisa sat across from her politely, and looked at her kind smile.
Filincia answered with a smile, then looked at Leonard. "Leonard, will you introduce me to her?"
"Aunt Filin, she is Mellisa, my future wife."
Hearing this, Filincia's eyes flickered. She was able to hide her surprise well, then looked at Mellisa carefully.
After a while, she chuckled for a moment. "I haven't seen you in years and I didn't expect you to be this brave."
Leonard understood the meaning of her words. After all, the Adlers had appointed Lyn as his future wife and everyone knew that.
And Filincia is one of the elders from a big family in Bandung.
After hearing the gossip, Filincia got up and led Mellisa to the examination room next door.
Leonard wanted to follow, but was rejected by Filincia with a smile. "Just wait outside. The lights in the examination room are very dim. If there are too many people inside, my equipments could be damaged."
In the examination room, Filincia sat in front of the machine and looked at Mellisa with a smile. "Mellisa, did you two meet in this town?"
Mellisa lay on her back on the examination bed, looking sideways at Filincia. She didn't feel any malice, so she answered honestly, "We met in Jakarta."
"Naturally, I have such a guess. If you are a child from a family in Bandung, of course I should have seen you before."
Filincia sighed with emotion, and then picked up the testing equipment.
Mellisa looked at Filincia, her expression fading. She was one of the elders of a large family in Bandung, meaning she should have met the younger generations at Lawrence's banquet the other day.
Thinking of this, Mellisa pressed the corners of her lips and said nothing.
During the examination, the whole room was silent.
After finishing checking, Filincia gently wiped Mellisa's stomach with a paper towel. "The development looks good, no major problems."
After the doctor wiped the test fluid clean, Mellisa then politely thanked her. "Thanks for the help, aunty."
Filincia sat on the chair and looked to the side, then said with a smile. "It's nothing. Have you checked yourself at another hospital before? Do you know the due date?"
After thinking about it, Mellisa shook her head. "At that time, the doctor only estimated the date, it should be around September this year."
As if seeing Filincia's doubts, Mellisa explained. "Actually, I can't remember. At that time, the doctor said that I was pregnant and I was really shocked. I actually still smoked a lot at that time, so I didn't dare to check my womb. But since being told that I'm pregnant, I immediately stopped smoking and ate a healthy diet."
"I see…" Filincia could sense the fear that Mellisa had, and groaned for a few seconds before she got up and took the photo. She patted her shoulder, then calmly said, "It's okay, I will do it for you in the future. From the size and development of the fetus, we can estimate the approximate date, so don't worry too much."
"Thank you, auntie."
"There's no need to be so polite to me."……
Back in the consulting room, Leonard caught a glimpse of their figures, and walked quickly. "Aunt Filin, how is it?"
Upon seeing this, Filincia laughed and teased him. "See, your face is very worried. You lost your cool just for this huh! Your child is fine, you just need to take good care of your future wife. In a few months, you can meet your child."
Hearing these words, Leonard was truly relieved.
He stepped forward and took Mellisa's shoulder then whispered in her ear. "You have worked hard!"
Mellisa hit him with the elbow, then asked Filincia sternly. "Is there anything to pay attention to?"
"I will give you a pregnancy guide, you two will have more preparation. Your body looks pretty good, stick to a healthy diet and don't forget to do some light exercise for delivery."
"Thanks for the help, but please don't let anyone know about this!"
At this time, Leonard walked over to the consultation table with Mellisa, and took the pregnancy manual as Filin explained.
Hearing this, Filincia nodded firmly. "Of course, I will keep all of Mellisa's records private. I will not record her presence, and no one else will be able to find any trace."
"Thank you, I'm bothering you again!"
They chatted briefly for a few minutes, and when Melissa went to the bathroom, she took Leonard and asked hesitantly, "Leonard, I won't ask you any complicated questions. But if you dare say that Mellisa is your future wife, what about the little girl from the Graham family you were engaged to before?"
