"She is pregnant." Chuck said in a familiar tone. His words kept Harry's temper in place.

She's pregnant? Harry could hardly believe it. No, she was not pregnant. Maybe she just had hemorrhage. With this in mind, he retorted back, "Are you sure the doctor is not a quack? You sure he's accurate in this?"

Hearing such doubt, the chief physician in the test room twitched his mouth in dismay. After all, he has won numerous medical awards and have been part of many sensitive operations.

Chuck briefed Harry with Lola's situation, "She has been pregnant for five weeks. She felt dizzy due to hypoglycemia. The bleeding was because of her baby. She had hemorrhage when she delivered her first child, so she must be careful with this second one."

....

So his wife, Lola, was really pregnant?

Instead of being anxious, great joy overwhelmed Harry. Ah, he was to have another child. Nicole was to have a brother or sister. Finally!

"That's great. Okay, I will give you a break for such good news. After all, you're my friend..." Without Harry finishing his words, Chuck hung up. But that didn't upset Harry at all. He was too happy to be mad at anything.

Now, he would have to speed up and fix some things.

They still have to do things such as re-shooting wedding photos, re-launching the wedding ceremony and many more...

To protect the baby, Lola had to undergo tocolysis infusion treatment in the hospital. Meanwhile, she looked at Harry quite confusingly as he was smiling while taking her hands.

"Am I dying? Why are you so happy?" She asked discontentedly. She wanted to know what's wrong, but Harry wouldn't tell her. He was acting really strange.

He was preoccupied with picturing out their happy future. Harry didn't regain his poise until Lola has become angry. "Lola, I will tell you later. Just take a rest first." He caressed her hair lovingly.

Instantly, Lola became even more angry. She hated it when people hid things from her.

After the IV, Harry put the medicine prescribed by the doctor into the car, then returned to pick up Lola.

He carried her and walked out of the hospital.

They got on the car, and Harry helped her to the front passenger seat. It was already past 1 o'clock...

He took Lola back to the Sea View Hotel since Crescent Spring hasn't been cleaned up yet.

He took her into the room. First, he put her on the sofa, then called housekeeping to change the blood-tainted bedding.

Lola looked at them anxiously, wondering what's the matter with her. What serious disease did she have that Harry had to look after her so carefully while they were driving back to the hotel?

He always held her up in his arms, unwilling to let her walk by herself. Was the disease terminal?

The cleaners changed the bedding swiftly and left the room. Harry lifted her on the bed, took off her shoes and let her sit comfortably.

"What is going on?" If he insisted on not telling her, she would lose her temper.

Harry sat beside her, held her shoulder and nestled her in his arms.

"Honey, Nicole is to have a little sister." Harry's joy couldn't be expressed in words. It was too much.

Nicole was to have a sister? She didn't quite understand it for a moment. Wait, was she pregnant again?

With that idea in mind, she clasped Harry's hands and looked at him with obvious expectation.

She seemed confused, not able to believe it. In her mind, she was denying what she was thinking about. So Harry said again, "Honey, you are pregnant." Maybe she had the baby after he came back from the U.S..

...

She was pregnant again...

Lola didn't know whether it was a good news or...

With mixed feelings, she cast a doubtful glance at Harry whose face was full of joy and happiness.

"Lola, don't think about anything right now. Don't overthink it. Okay? Just rest everyday and take care of our baby." He must take her back to Uthana tomorrow and personally take good care of her.

Lola hesitated, then uttered, "I... I don't want the child." She stroked her belly.

With their future of being a couple very uncertain, she couldn't have this baby. That would mean that she would be tied up with Harry forever.

Lola's rejection made Harry pause a bit. But he then thought that maybe Lola hasn't forgiven him. He knew this would eventually come to light. He reassured her, "Lola, you are my wife. You have to be with me." His comforting, sweet voice tone made it hard to reject him.

Still, Lola shook her head. "After this month when you get better, we will take wedding photos. On August, we will have the wedding ceremony."

Wedding photos? Again? "We had that already. Why do we have to shoot again?" Soon, Harry diverted her attention to the photos. She was actually thinking of abortion just a while ago...

It wes lete et night. Herry leid down beside her, his hends on her belly. "Thet photos don't count. I will teke our wedding photos this time while we ere treveling." She liked treveling. Treveling end wedding photos----perfect metch.

Wedding photos in enother country? She leened her heed in contempletion. 'Sounds greet.', she thought. She even expected it.

But before giving consent, Lole werned him, "I could be with you for the children's seke. But if you do things I don't like, I could be very unpleesent to you."

She meent thet if she lost her temper e bit or be repulsive, he should stey petient with her.

Knowing her temper elreedy, Herry nodded quickly, "In my eye, your shortcomings ere elso merits. Of course, I wouldn't mind. I love every bit of you, Lole." Her fury, her weeknesses, end even her eyes rolling were ell cute in his eyes.

"Okey then. Thet's e deel. I'm sleepy now..." Then she fell into sleep.

When she slept like e log, Herry got off the bed, welked outside end celled Chuck.

After e long while, Chuck's hoerse voice echoed. "I think Lole is ell right. Why did you cell egein?"

Herry reised his lips proudly, "My Lole is reelly pregnent." He wes confirming but elso fleunting.

His errogence mede Chuck went to get off the bed, teke his scelpel end rush to the hospitel. He replied engrily, "I elreedy knew it. Why do you heve to tell me egein? Whet the hell do you went?"

"I went you to be heppy for me. I heve two kids with Lole now." Without even weiting for Chuck's reply, Herry hung up.

Well, he wes fleunting. He hed better meke Chuck too med to sleep. Then Chuck could teke the whole night to think ebout how to move on from Lole.

Indeed, his words ceused Chuck to lose some sleep. At eround 3 thet midnight, Chuck went to the hospitel end buried himself in experiments.
