Chapter 29: Twins

The next day, Cathy and Matt flew back to Chicago. Cathy rested at home in the morning. In the afternoon, she went to the hospital with her mother. Cathy was much more relaxed in this prenatal care. That’s because she probably figured out some things. Since she wanted this child, she must keep herself in the best condition. Lying on the instrument, she felt her mom clasped her hand tight. She couldn't help but smile. "Mom, why are you so nervous?" "Can I not be nervous? This is my grandson." Cathy Lawson laughed. The doctor was taking the instrument to check her, also smiled. She asked casually: "where’s its father?” Cathy still smiled, looked at her burgeoning abdomen, and whispered: "He‘s on business." Her mom’s eyes got red. In case Cathy worried, she turned her face to the window, and her heart was grieved and sore. The doctor nodded and didn't ask more. Then she carefully stared at the picture on the B-ultrasound instrument and suddenly smiled. "Congratulations! It's twins." "..." Quiet for a few seconds, Cathy grabbed the doctor's hand and asked with surprise, "Twins? Are you sure?" "Of course! How could it be wrong? it’s checked by instrument !" Cathy was extremely happy and excitedly held her mom’s hand. “Mom, did you hear that? It’s twins, I have two babies in my belly.” She couldn't believe it. A big smile bloomed on her face, her lips were curled up, and she was wrapped up in happiness for a time. Seeing Cathy was so excited, her mom felt sorer. Two children and two parents, even her father was still in prison, did this child have never thought about how to bear it alone in the future? However, she couldn't bear to hurt her, So she could only smile and caress her head gently. "Well, I heard it. Now there are two babies here, you have to be more careful later." "Hmm." After listening to the doctor’s entrustment, Cathy finally remembered something. She said to her mother: “Mom, go out first and wait for me outside, please.” Her mom nodded. She shut the door behind her as she went out. Cathy stopped smiling and she said seriously: “Excuse me, doctor, can I bother you one more thing?” "OK, go ahead." The female doctor was very polite. “Does your hospital have any confidential policies for each patient here?” "Of course." Cathy chuckled. "That's great. If someone comes to investigate me and my unborn children, I hope you can keep the secret for me. I wouldn’t like to provoke unnecessary trouble." Tyrone Raman was such a shrewd person, she was not sure that he would believe what she said. It would be very troublesome If he sent someone to investigate. Moreover, instead of going to the public hospital, she booked this private institution at a high price. On the one hand, doctors served one-on-one. On the other hand, this choice must be worth it. The female doctor immediately guessed if she was a celebrity and nodded quickly. "No problem, our organization will definitely guarantee the privacy of customers." Cathy Lawson gave her a standard smile. It was really a private institution! Shit! They didn’t call a patient, directly call the customer. After leaving the hospital, the smile still kept on Cathy’s face. Even everyone passing by her can felt her happiness. Twins, how can you feel bad? Fortunately, she didn’t abandon them at first. Otherwise, she must be heartbroken. Two lives! However, Cathy’s mom looked at her several times. She wanted to say something but she said nothing finally. She just kept silent all the way. Cathy also noticed mom’s unusual behavior. She stopped at the door of a mall and looked at her. "Mom, what happened to you? Why... do you look not happy at all?" Mom frowned at her for a few seconds, finally sighed heavily. "Cathy, with two children... How are you going to live in the future?" Even if she wanted to get married later, which man was willing to raise her two children? Cathy Lawson glanced, then smiled and gently hugged her, cleverly said: "Mom, I know that you are worried about me, but we can never avoid the difficulties. We can only find ways to solve problems. What’s more, these two children are not difficulties for me, they are my treasures. I love them, and I’m willing to raise them no matter how tired I will be." At this moment, she felt unprecedented satisfaction. Her mom gently pushed her away, looked down at her abdomen, said worriedly: "So go and resign. I will take care of you these months until they are born."
