Chapter 195


    1/2


    Joe suddenly asked, “Grandma wants you and me to go for a preconception check–up, Skr. Will


    you go?


    Skr knew it was impossible for Joe and her to get to the stage of having a baby. But since Gloria


    suggested it, she simply responded with an “Okay“.


    She was putting on an act, so she should do her part diligently and sincerely. She would strive to


    make Gloria happy every day for these three years.


    Joe looked at her response with a pensive look in his eyes. He forgot all about the lit cigarette that


    he held between his fingers.


    When Gloria suggested that he and Skr should undergo a preconception check–up, he didn’t


    feel resistant toward it at all. On the contrary, he thought that if he were to have a child with Skr,


    it wouldn’t


    be a bad idea.


    There weren’t many women whom he didn’t dislike in this world. He had better discuss this with


    Skr after he went back. Thinking of that, he snuffed out the cigarette.


    Just then, Rowan called. “Damn! I almost hooked up with that female celebrity Marcus had been


    with. My friend from the hospital told me she’s confirmed to have AIDS.


    “Fuck! I don’t know if she infected Marcus or if Marcus infected her! I haven’t been able to sleep a


    wink


    since yesterday.


    “Oh, by the way, is Skr really that amazing? Did she figure this out herself? Have you told her?


    Ask her to get me a protective item. Money is not an issue as long as it works.”


    The way Rowan’s speech sped up indicated his shock and astonishment. After he was done


    prattling, he realized that he had been talking by himself the whole time and hadn’t given Joe a


    chance to speak.


    “If you want to rely on her abilities, then you should trust her. Otherwise, you can find someone


    else,” Joe replied calmly.


    Rowan didn’t dare to say that he didn’t trust Skr. Since she was someone Joe trusted, he would


    be challenging Joe’s judgment if he expressed doubt.


    “I can’t trust anyone else,” Rowan said, feeling much calmer now. “Marcus has been fooling around


    too muchtely. He even attended a party at a vi the other day. Luckily, I’m not fond of that kind


    of scene. I’d better be celibate for the time being.”


    Many households in Jipsburg would soon start to panic. The entertainment industry would be in


    chaos too. With so many people falling victim to AIDS at the same time, one could imagine the


    extent of the


    turmoil.


    Skr had just entered the Gardner Group building when her phone rang.


    “Skye, I heard a juicy piece of gossip,” Natalie said in a deliberately hushed tone.


    “Oh? What gossip?” Skr asked with a smile.


    “Last night, my husband and his friends were talking on the phone. There’s a person in their circle


    who contracted AIDS from sleeping around with women. Now, many people are going to the


    hospital for check -ups. Many female celebrities and models are involved.


    “If it weren’t for Jeremy being faithful to me and having eyes for me only, I might also worry about


    his health. But to ensure there won’t be unwanted surprises, I had him undergo a check–up too. He


    just finished the check–up and went to thepany. I’m waiting for the results here.”


    Natalie had absolute trust in her husband.


    “It’s good to have regr check–ups,” Skr remarked smilingly.


    She suddenly thought of the two female celebrities she saw at the club that day. They were both A–


    listers in the entertainment industry. If Marcus passed the disease to them too, the entertainment


    industry would have a storm brewing on the horizon.


    If there were paparazzi with keen noses who caught a whiff of this news, Jipsburg would be very


    lively


    soon.


    “I think so too. It just so happens that we’re nning to have a baby. I’ve just had a preconception


    check- up,” Natalie said.


    Her tone showed how much she was looking forward to having children.


    Skr recalled what Joe said yesterday and casually asked, “Is the preconception check–up


    complicated?


    “Not really. It’s just some routine checks. My husband wants to see the viability of his sperm, and I


    looked it up…” Natalie told her the check–ups included in des


    Skr nodded as she listened. “It turns out having a child isn’t so simple.”


    Natalie chuckled and said, “Of course not. Since we’ve decided to have a baby and be


    parents, we need to make serious preparations and ensure our bodies are in the best condition to


    have a healthy baby.


    “I believe you’re all set to be a mother now, Natty.” Skr felt that time flew by very quickly.


    In the blink of an eye, they had graduated from college for almost a year.


    Natalieughed along and said, “I can’t imagine what it would be like for me to be a mother. Oh, the


    report is ready. I need to talk to the doctor. After that, I’ll go get some takeout and take it to my


    husband’s office. I’m going to surprise him!”
