Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 403

“I listen to their heartbeat every day. They seem fine to me,” Rayna mumbled while rubbing her tummy. Despite her calm expression, she couldn’t stop thinking about the news article.

Rayna had been wondering what she would do about the babies if Curtis didn’t want them anymore. She didn’t know where to deliver the babies and get them registered.

“That simply won’t do. Remember, you’ve got two babies inside your tummy. It’s better to get them checked out at a hospital,” Jefferson said.

Rayna nodded. “All right. I suppose it’s a good thing I haven’t had breakfast, then. That way, I could have my blood sample taken too. Otherwise, this whole trip to the hospital would’ve been for nothing.”

“I had Ringo prepare some food for you. He should be arriving at the hospital right after you finish the examination.” Jefferson realized that Rayna’s hands were icy-cold when he unintentionally touched them.

He then wrapped the coat tighter around her shoulders and held her hands to warm them up.

Rayna didn’t know what to say in response to his caring gestures.

Jefferson is a really nice guy, but he’s not the right one for me. Even if we were to turn back time to the point where Jefferson and I were still dating, our relationship would still end in a breakup. I might be his ideal type, but he’s not my ideal type. The man I love would guide me at work and give me space to grow and develop myself. He would praise my accomplishments and encourage me instead of pampering me and treating me like a bird in a cage.

It wasn’t long before they arrived at the private hospital.

Ringo’s brother-in-law was a tall man with dark skin and worked as a surgeon at the hospital.

He brought them over to the obstetrics and gynecology department and handed Rayna over to the female doctor.

Jefferson waited outside to give Rayna some privacy during the examination.

The female doctor had Rayna lie down on the bed and put on a pair of latex gloves. “Have you done any blood sugar tests or ultrasounds after getting pregnant?” she asked softly.

“No, but I do have a B-scan ultrasound device at home. I’ve been monitoring their heartbeat on a daily basis. Everything seems to be normal so far,” Rayna replied as she rolled up her dress to reveal her tummy.
