Chapter 739: Chapter 739



Dolores laughed. As it turned out. She had thought there was something wrong with her baby.

“If your tummy hurts, you should call the doctor right away,” the doctor reminded her.

Dolores nodded, “I know. Thank you, doctor.”

The doctor feared that Dolores didn’t like the baby either because she thought it looked ugly. Earlier, there was a video on the Internet in which a pregnant woman was crying while walking. It was because she had seen the baby’s face through the four-dimensional B ultrasound and thought it looked ugly.

It was so ugly that the mother-to-be was heartbroken.

The doctor told her, “Mr. Nelson and you are handsome, so your baby will not be ugly. It is still small and developing. Please don’t worry.”

Dolores said with a smile, “Yes, I know. It doesn’t matter.”

It didn’t matter that her baby was ugly, she wouldn’t dislike it as long as it was healthy.

The doctor would continue with the ward round, so she left.

Matthew came in, seeing that Dolores was laughing. He asked, “What happened to make you so happy?”

gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․com, home to unforgettable stories Dolores didn’t answer him. Pointing to the breakfast on the table, she said, “I left the food for you. Hurry up and eat it. It’s getting cold.”

Matthew sat down in front of the table and picked up the chopsticks. Dolores asked, “Does it upset you that our baby is ugly?”

Matthew turned to give her a look and seemed to understand what she was laughing at. He said solemnly, “No matter how ugly he is, he’s my baby, what’s wrong with him not being handsome?”

Dolores giggled, “Doesn’t that bother you?”

Matthew coughed gently. He inwardly groaned at the doctor who told Dolores his secret.

“I wasn’t upset. I’m very happy.”

Lying on the bed, Dolores asked, “Will you be going out today?”

Matthew nodded. He needed to get out to take care of Emma, so he couldn’t stay at the hospital to accompany her.

Jessica poured him a glass of water and said, “Then I’ll take care of her here. I won’t leave until you get back.”

Matthew agreed, “That’s fine. Please make sure there is always someone with her. If anything happens, the doctor can be notified,” he reminded Jessica.

Jessica nodded, “I know.”

After breakfast, Jessica took out the lunch boxes to wash the dishes. Matthew began massaging Dolores’ legs, which had swollen. They also cramped frequently at night.

Sometimes they cramped several times in a single night.

In the past, Matthew had thought the pregnancy was fairly straightforward. But since Dolores’ health had deteriorated, he had realized that the woman could not only die in childbirth, but would also suffer greatly during the pregnancy.

Since she could not go out, Dolores felt very bored. Squinting her eyes, she asked, “Are you taking care of your company’s business today?” Matthew emitted a “hmm.”

After Jessica returned, Matthew left. Before leaving the room, he said, “I’ll try to get back as soon as possible.”

Dolores said, “Don’t worry. Go on with your work. I’m in the hospital now. Nothing can happen.”

Jessica sat on the edge of the bed, “Do you want to eat some fruit?”.

Dolores shook her head, “No thanks, Mom.”

She had just finished breakfast, so she wasn’t hungry yet.

There was a knock at the door.

Jessica got up and opened the door. A nurse was at the door.

She said a lady was visiting Dolores and asked if she should let the lady in.

Jessica asked, “Who is the young lady?”

“She said her last name is Gordon,” the nurse replied.

Jessica thought it was Theresa, so she asked the nurse to let her in without asking Dolores.

However, when the woman went to the door, Jessica found that it was not Theresa. Standing in the doorway, she looked at Emma alertly and asked, “Who are you?”

Emma had checked out Matthew and Dolores, so she knew that Dolores’ best friend was Theresa.

Hence, she lied to the nurse that her name was Gordon.

With a bouquet of flowers in her hand, Emma said with a smile, “I’m here to see Mrs. Nelson.”

Jessica said, “I don’t know her. She’s not well. She can’t see anyone now. I’m afraid you must leave.”

Emma continued to smile, “I’m not a bad woman. You don’t need to be so alert. I’m here to see Mrs. Nelson. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her.”

Dolores overheard their conversation in the bedroom. She sat and listened to them carefully.

The woman’s voice sounded quite familiar.

She soon recognized the woman.

It was Emma Bailey.

She wondered what Emma would be doing here.

“Excuse me, Mrs. Nelson, may I speak with you for a moment, please?” Emma could only shout inward as Jessica didn’t want to let her in.

Dolores didn’t respond.

Emma did not give up. She continued, “I have no ill intent. I’m on your territory, so I don’t dare do anything. I just want to talk to you.”

Dolores thought for a moment and said, “Mom, please let her in.”

Jessica said, “Matthew has told me not to let anyone in that I don’t know. I don’t know this woman. You need to rest. You better not see her.”

“I do know her. Please let her in,” Dolores said.

Jessica glanced at Emma, “You only have a few minutes.”

Emma said, “Okay.”

Jessica led Emma into the bedroom.

Dolores was on alert inwardly, but outwardly seemed quite calm.

Even her eyes were quite calm.

Emma tried her best to put discord between Matthew and her, with the aim of separating them. Dolores wondered why she had suddenly shown up here.

Was she causing trouble again?

“May I have a private conversation with Mrs. Nelson, please?” Emma glanced at Jessica.

Jessica shook her head, “I must stay here.”

Emma glanced at Dolores, “May I please?”

Dolores held the remote control for the alert in her hands. As soon as she pressed the button, the doctor would rush in.

Dolores nodded her head. Looking at Jessica, she said, “Okay, Mom. Please wait by the door for a moment.”

Jessica frowned, “Matthew doesn’t want you to meet anyone alone.”

Dolores smiled, “I know her. She’ll be fine.”

Jessica could only agree, “Okay. Ask her to leave the room as soon as possible.”

Dolores said, “I know.”

Jessica left the room and closed the door.

Dolores immediately wiped the smile off her face, “Tell me. Why are you here?”

Emma smiled, “Don’t be so hostile to me. I bought the flowers at a florist on the way here, do you like them?”

She put the bouquet of lilies and roses on the bedside table.
