Jasmine unconsciously pulled the corner of her clothes, “Yes…”
“Do you know Jasmine?” Coral walked over and asked.
Theresa smiled and said, “This is my first time meeting her personally, but I’ve seen her photo before.”
“Who sent you the picture?” Jasmine was shocked.
She was curious because she had never seen Theresa.
Coral spoke for Theresa before she could speak, “She is Armand’s girlfriend.”
Jasmine suddenly realized, “Oh, hi.”
Theresa smiled back, “Hello.”
“Are you going out right now?” Jasmine asked.
Theresa nodded and said, “I was just about to go find your boyfriend Boyce to ask him something.”
Jasmine asked, “Are you going to ask him about Ms. Flores?”
Theresa paused for a while and nodded her head.
She had always called Loredana Flores by her name. She didn’t call her Ms. Flores like Armand did. That was why she didn’t realize that Jasmine was referring to Loredana at first.
“I know about it. Let’s talk inside,” Jasmine said.
Theresa nodded and went back inside the house. Jasmine also entered. She took off her backpack, put it on the sofa, and sat across Theresa.
“Ms. Flores suddenly went abroad because she was in poor health. The doctor wanted her to have preterm labor. But she’s just seven months pregnant right now, so preterm labor might not be good for the baby. They must have gone abroad to do examinations in the hospitals abroad,” Jasmine said.
Theresa was worried, “Did she say what the reason was?”
“It seemed that her uterus lining is thin.”
Theresa understood it. This was most probably caused by Loredana’ birth to Andrew Mendelsohn and Amanda Mendelsohn.
“Do you want to eat dinner with us together with Armand?” Jasmine enthusiastically asked.
Theresa shook her head, “I’m here alone since he still has something to do. I’ll leave right after seeing the kids.”
Jasmine nodded.
Buzz…
Theresa’s phone vibrated inside her pocket.
She took out her phone. When she saw Loredana’ number on the displayed caller ID, she immediately answered the call.
“Did you call me?” Loredana’ voice echoed through.
Theresa grunted in agreement, “I heard that you went abroad. How is your health?”
Loredana sat in the spacious ward and looked at the unfamiliar scenery outside through the French window. She said, “How did you know about this?”
“I came to City B and heard about what happened to you.”
Loredana got down from the bed and walked towards the French window. Then, she lifted both legs, snuggled into the sofa, and subtly said, “I just had an examination today.”
Although the doctor didn’t tell her what the result was, she could already tell from the doctor’s eyes that it wasn’t good news.
Cormac Mendelsohn was talking to the doctor right now.
She was alone inside the ward.
“No matter what the result is, you should put your mind at ease and maintain a happy mood. Only in this way would it be good to you. Did you get that?”
Loredana grunted in agreement and asked, “Did you go to City B to see Armand?”
Theresa said no, “I came to see you.”
Loredana laughed. She obviously didn’t believe her, but she didn’t expose her. Both of them talked a few more, then she hung up when the door opened. She got up from the sofa, looked toward the person who just entered, and asked, “What did the doctor say?”
Cormac didn’t answer immediately, but closed the door and stepped in.
Loredana was more and more nervous and even her hands trembled unconsciously.
The more he didn’t talk, the worse the test result was.
“What you are worried about?” Cormac shook her hand. “I’m hungry, let’s eat something together.”
She didn’t move but looked at him.
Cormac sighed. He knew that she wouldn’t feel relieved without an answer.
He took Loredana’ hand and sat on the sofa. According to Loredana’ test result, an early delivery must be necessary, because her uterus was thinner than an average person. It was too dangerous to wait until the day of delivery because if the uterus ruptured, it could threaten her life.
The doctor’s advice was similar to the domestic plan. If she couldn’t deliver within seven and a half months, then she must rest in bed and the delivery would be extended to eight months at the latest. “The doctor said our baby is in good health and there is no danger even if the baby is born early…”
“So we still need an early delivery?” Loredana interrupted him.
Cormac squeezed her hand, “Don’t worry, okay?”
“I’m not worried,” Loredana said, pulling back her emotions.
She stood up from the sofa, took his hand and said coyly, “Weren’t you hungry? I eat something with you.”
She kept her worries to herself and tried to look relaxed in front of Cormac.
Actually, Cormac knew she was pretending, but he didn’t expose it.
He was worried just like her. After all, it was his child and his wife, but he also couldn’t show his worry in front of her.
His negative mood would only make Loredana feel more nervous.
“I know a good restaurant, let’s eat there.” Cormac put his arm around her waist. “We don’t go out often, is there somewhere you’d like to go? I can take you and relax.”
Loredana deliberately said, “I want to go to a nightclub.”
Cormac glanced at her belly. “You can’t neither drink nor smell the smoke of the cigarette. What will you do there?”
