CHapter 74

"Congratulations, Mr. Darwin. Mrs. Velove is indeed positively pregnant."

At this time, Darwin did return to visit the hospital. After having had three days of complete rest at home and making sure that his wife's condition was fine, Darwin invited Velove to have his womb checked further so he would know what action to take after this.

As the emergency room doctor had said before, the wife's womb did not experience any problems. And today, Darwin had even prepared a lot of questions for him to ask the obstetrician his wife had chosen.

"From the ultrasound machine, you can already see the fetal sac and you can even hear the baby's heartbeat," explained the doctor, pointing to the plasma screen of the ultrasound machine while examining Velove's content.

Darwin, who had been listening carefully, then smiled with emotion. Never thought that in the end God would give him the grace and fortune to be able to have children with the woman he loves so much at this time.

"If I may know, how old is my wife's current womb, doc?" asked Darwin curiously.

Doctor smiles. Glanced at the ultrasound machine screen for a moment, then answered the question Darwin had just asked.

"According to manual calculations and also the ultrasound machine, Mrs. Velove's current gestational age is eight weeks and three days or the general term is more than two months."

Velove was taken aback. Didn't expect that the baby was already two months old. In fact, in the past few months he was sure he really didn't feel anything or strange things that indicated he was pregnant.

"Seriously, I'm already two months pregnant, doc?" asked Velove to make sure. "But, in the past few months, I haven't felt anything. Or have there been signs that lead to pregnancy other than the delay in coming months, which I only realized a few days ago."

Doctor smiles. Finishing the examination for a moment, then asked Velove to move first from the patient's bed and then sit together in the guest chair. After that, the doctor continued to explain the questions Velove asked.

"Yes, Mrs. Velove. There are some pregnant women who do not show specific signs or symptoms at first, such as nausea, vomiting, excessive fatigue, emotional ups and downs, and other hormonal changes."

"But, this is normal right, doc?" asked Darwin who was also curious. "That means, if my wife doesn't experience symptoms like pregnant women in general, it doesn't mean that her womb is problematic, right?"

Doctor nodded. Of course trying to dismiss the worries that Darwin was feeling.

"Take it easy, sir. That's very normal. It's actually good if Mrs. Velove doesn't experience nausea and vomiting. Because some pregnant women who experience morning sickness, sometimes it's hard to do activities and some even have difficulty eating, have difficulty getting up and are required to rest completely at home ill because of his weak condition.”

"Then, is it possible for my wife to continue to feel the symptoms of nausea and vomiting at a later date?" asked Darwin again.

"It could be, sir. In fact, there are some pregnant women who still feel nausea and vomiting even though their gestational age is difficult to enter the third trimester. But, once again that's normal as long as there are no serious or dangerous symptoms."

Velove and Darwin nodded in understanding. Consulted at length, they finally have an idea of what to do in the future. To be sure, Darwin certainly wants the best for his wife and future baby. Even Velove also has the same hope. He will do whatever it takes to keep the future baby in his stomach.

"Then, for the next few weeks, I will prescribe some special pregnancy vitamins for Velove's mother to consume," the doctor said while writing a special prescription to be given to Velove afterwards. "Later, please drink it according to the dose and until it runs out."

Then Darwin, who helped, received a sheet of prescription paper which he would later redeem when he was outside. Meanwhile, Velove, who was still sitting, before moving back, asked a question that had stuck in his heart.

"Doc, this is during a young pregnancy, are there any restrictions that I should do? For example, there are certain foods or drinks that I shouldn't consume?"

The doctor nodded again. Smiling faintly, then explaining what is and is not allowed for the woman in front of her to consume during pregnancy.

"Actually, there are no special restrictions. Pregnant women can eat anything, as long as it's in accordance with the portion and not excessive. However, as much as possible avoid soda drinks, then raw foods such as some Japanese food. Steak and fish that are processed and cooked with no or half ripe."

"Then, are there other things that my wife is not allowed to do?" Darwin returned to ask questions. He thought, he also needed to know everything related to his wife's womb so that he could take part in guarding against unwanted things.

"Apart from eating, avoid tiring work, whatever it is that triggers stress, and don't forget to also keep doing light exercise so that the body stays fit. Otherwise, if there is anything, please consult a doctor."

Consulted at length, in the end Darwin and Velove finished their first meeting with the obstetrician. According to the schedule, in a month ahead, they must return for routine check-ups like other pregnant women do.

Before actually going home, Velove then invited Darwin to take the time to visit Deasy. Coincidentally, his best friend was admitted to the same hospital where he checked his womb.

Besides, yesterday Velove got news from one of the Deasy's family that the woman had passed a critical period and was now conscious. Maybe now in the recovery phase after the accident that happened to him.

"It's okay, right? I visited Deasy for a while. The last time I saw her, she wasn't conscious. Yesterday, her mother gave her information that Deasy was conscious and in much better condition now," said Velove while walking with Darwin down the hospital corridor.

"Yes, honey. You can visit Deasy. Where have I forbidden you," Darwin replied earnestly. Because basically, even though Deasy didn't like him all this time, Darwin didn't have the slightest hatred for his wife's best friend.

"Then you want to accompany me?"

Darwin nodded with a smile.

"Of course."

The two then hurriedly walked towards Deasy's room. Arriving there, Deasy's mother immediately welcomed her. The middle-aged woman even accompanied and invited Velove and Darwin to meet and talk with Deasy, who was conscious and whose condition was starting to improve.

"Oh my gosh Deasy, I miss you so much," Velove said as he hugged Deasy who was lying down. Judging from the look on her face, she did look better than before.

"I even looked for you when I woke up yesterday. You're fine, right?"

From his tone, Deasy seemed unable to hide her worries. Maybe he felt bad too because while driving, he had an accident and involved Velove there.

"I'm fine," Velove said when he broke the hug. "I'm not doing anything wrong at all. I'm just scratched in a few places. The rest I'm in okay condition."

"Thank God," said Deasy who looked relieved. "If you do anything, I can't forgive myself."

Velove could hear Deasy's tone of voice which used to be normal now turned sad as if she seemed to regret something. Obviously sorry for the disaster that has happened between the two.

"It's okay, Des. I'm fine, really. Instead, I'm the one who is concerned about your condition. I'm very grateful to finally be able to go through this critical period and finally realize now. In fact, you can talk to me as usual."

"Yes," nodded Daisy. "In fact, Mama said, I had lost a lot of blood in this accident. Thank God, God still gave me the opportunity to live and meet you again. Anyway, thank you for the support that has been given."

Velove nodded with a smile while holding his best friend's hand gently. It's the same with Deasy, even though this is a disaster, Velove still deserves to say thousands of thanks because her condition and Deasy's are not serious and worrying.

"Later, when your condition is better, I want to tell you a lot," Velove said afterwards. "I have a surprise and an important thing to tell you."

Deasy nodded in agreement. Seconds later, the woman's gaze immediately shifted to Darwin, who had been standing right next to Velove. The man even non-stop stared at Deasy while listening to what his wife and best friend were talking about earlier,

"It's really amazing that you're here. Your arrival wasn't a forced Velove, right?" quipped Deasy openly.

Even in her weak condition, the woman occasionally spoke curtly which sounded a little harsh. If you think about it, in Deasy's eyes there doesn't seem to be any good side to her since the man married her best friend and was caught cheating and being violent.

"Deasy..." Deasy's mother who was also there immediately reprimanded her. Of course, Darwin and Velove feel good for taking the time to visit their daughter. "Don't say that, honey. It's not polite."

"I'm telling the truth, Ma. I didn't expect to be visited by a busy person like Darwin Morales Khiel. Am I considered important by him, to the point where I want to waste his time visiting? Who knows, he might just come here because he wants to mock me, who just got into trouble. ."

"Deasy!"

Once again, Dessy's mother heard her rebuke. Darwin, who was standing right in front of him, immediately turned his head. Nodding then smiling, signaling to the middle-aged woman that she was fine. Not the least bit offended by what Deasy had just said to him. From the start, he also understood all the accusations that his wife's best friend had leveled at him.

"You don't need to worry or worry. Velove didn't force me to visit at all. After all, if I'm evil and vengeful for everything you've done so far, why should I bother donating blood to you?"

"You mean?" Deasy jumped in surprise. He was sure of what he had just heard. But, why does it sound odd.

However, instead of answering, Darwin chose to just smile. The next second chose to say goodbye, letting Velove continue the conversation while he waited outside the room.

Feeling very curious about what Darwin had just said, Deasy looked at the people in the room one by one. Trying to determine what the words that man meant to him. It is necessary for Deasy to clarify this rather than think about things that are not.

"What did Darwin mean?" he asked seriously to his mother. Staring intently, hoping he gets good news not bad.

Deasy's own mother seemed to take a deep breath. From the look on his face, he looked like a bad person. Then, after feeling sure, slowly trying to explain what really happened to the princess.

"So, yesterday's accident, you were seriously injured. Because you are bleeding, you automatically need to donate a lot of blood. Incidentally, your blood type is in short supply at this hospital. The team of doctors have searched all kinds of things at PMI. But it was an emergency and If you need immediate help, Darwin and one of his cousins are offering to give you their blood."

Deasy's eyes widened. For God's sake, he didn't mishear what his mother said just now.

"So, Darwin has donated his blood for me?"

Deasy's mother nodded slowly. Confirming the question Deasy threw at him.

"It's like what Darwin said earlier. So, indirectly he is the one who has saved your life, kid. In fact, without being forced and we asked first, he willingly donated his blood to you."

Deasy choked hearing her mother's explanation. In that moment, he didn't know what to do. It was not an easy matter for him to get rid of the hatred that had taken root in his heart from the start.

However, on the other hand, he had to realize that it was Darwin who had helped him. Does she have to learn to be kind and accept the man's presence from this second?
