Chapter 478


    She made her way to the maternity ward like a seasoned pro. But Mike grabbed her, steering her


    towards the ultrasound department on a different floor. She looked at him, clearly puzzled.


    "Well... you can go straight to the ultrasound," Mike attempted to downy the situation but failed


    miserably, "Elijah''s here. He''s probably waiting for you in the ultrasound room."


    Violette shrugged off his arm, clearly annoyed. "Since when did you start taking orders from him?"


    Mike raised his hand in a defensive gesture. "I was not influenced by him. Joey told me."


    "Well, Joey works for him. What''s the difference between you being influenced by Joey and you being


    influenced by him?"


    "There is a difference. Joey is not like that jerk. Joey knows right from wrong." Mike grabbed her arm,


    exining, "He promised me that if that jerk messes with you again, he''ll quit."


    Violette, "But you didn''t have to tell them everything."


    "I didn''t spill all the beans... like how your appetite has improved, how you''re not puking as much, or


    that you think the baby might be gone. I didn''t tell them any of that." Mike sighed, "Such a shame. A


    little one gone just like that. Are you here for the abortion surgery today?"


    Violette felt an ufortable knot in her stomach, "If there''s no heartbeat, then yes, I''ll need the


    surgery."


    In the past few days, her morning sickness had noticeably decreased. This wasn''t exactly a cause for


    celebration as it might mean the baby was gone. Beforeing to the hospital today, she had a hearty


    breakfast and hadn''t felt nauseous since.


    She had mentally prepared herself for the possibility of the baby being gone, but the pain seemed to


    amplify once she stepped into the hospital. She was also surprised to see Elijah there. What would he


    feel if he knew the baby was gone?


    They took the elevator to the ultrasound department. As the elevator doors slowly opened, she saw the


    man waiting outside. He was wearing a high-quality light gray shirt and dark casual pants, a stark


    contrast to his usual all-ck ensemble.


    Her steps felt as heavy as if they were weighed down by lead.


    As Elijah watched her approach, he wanted to greet her, but ended up just staring at her. She looked


    well and may have gained a few pounds. It seemed she was doing okay over the past week.


    She walked past him into the ultrasound room. He followed behind her.


    Shey on the ultrasound bed, pulling up her shirt. The doctor applied the cold gel to her belly before


    moving the probe around. With Elijah nearby, she kept her eyes closed, anxiously awaiting the results.

    After a while, the doctor asked, "Ms. Dennis, do you have any other symptoms?"


    Violette opened her eyes, looking at the doctor, "I''ve been eating more."


    The doctor smiled, "That''s good. Any other symptoms? Like bleeding?"


    "No, nothing like that."


    Violette was stunned. The baby was okay? The early pregnancy symptoms... were they over?


    Elijah saw her in a daze and helped her sit up. "Did you think the baby was gone?"


    Violette''s thoughts were seen through by him, and her cheeks immediately turned rosy.


    After the ultrasound results were printed, they both left the examination room. Mike came over, trying to


    console her, "Violette, don''t be sad. As long as you''re healthy, nothing else matters."

    Mike''s eyes were aze with fury.
