Chapter 520 Keep your Husband
Matthew Nelson, who went back to wash, received a message from Theresa Gordon, saying that
Dolores Flores would have to go for a checkup the day after tomorrow. She also included the location
and name of the hospital they would be going to.
Whether he would be going or not, she had already informed him anyway.
After Boyce Shawn gave her a number, she sent a message to Matthew right away, telling him not to
inform Armand Bernie of her identity. Matthew agreed to it, but also made a condition in which she had
to send him Dolores’ status at any time.
To let him know on what she was doing every day.
Of course, Theresa did agree. On one hand, she didn't want Matthew to tell Armand her identity. On the
other hand, she wanted to connect Dolores Flores and Matthew Nelson, and hoped that they would let
go of their problem and get back together as soon as possible.
Since his wife was going for a checkup, Matthew probably would have gone. Besides, Theresa had told
him in advance that this would give him some time to prepare.
When he went this time, he planned on living for a few days, and also got a change of clothes, so that
he wouldn’t come and go hurriedly like last time.
On the day Dolores was going for the checkup, he had already arranged everything. With money and
connections, it was not hard to do some things.
The two children went to school, while Theresa accompanied Dolores to the hospital.
Ever since she came to City C, she had always come to this hospital, and had a regular doctor
checking her.
The doctor in the outpatient department gave Dolores some checklists. Since it had been four months
already, the doctor told her on her last checkup that she had to do Down’s screening at four months.
The doctor also advised that she should be on an empty stomach because they needed to extract
blood, and would have a B-mode scan. This stage was basically removing fetal abnormalities.
The doctor had seen Dolores’ previous medical records, so she understood her situation better. This
doctor was also an expert in this field, as many people praised her medical skills.
Dolores also had faith in her.
“You have been pregnant for four months, and you are quite thin. Remember to have rest, and have a
balanced nutrition.”
The doctor advised.
Dolores smilingly said, “My physique has ever been like this; I have never gotten fat.”
The doctor laughed, “This is a dream of many women.”
Nowadays, both man and woman were losing weight and getting fitted, as they hoped their body to be
in good shape. A physique that wouldn’t get fat after eating much was the dream of many women.
The doctor then quickly changed the subject, and said with smile, “This is your first time going for blood
test, and probably do not know where the phlebotomy department is. I will let the ‘trainee doctor’ bring
you there.”
‘Ah?’
Dolores was somehow confused, ‘The hospital have such services?’
“Somebody will accompany me; there’s no need for it.” Dolores said with a smile, as she felt that this
would trouble others.
Furthermore, she had never experienced such service in any other hospitals.
“He is a male and just graduated from college; he has no clinical experience yet. Letting him see more
is also experiencing things.” The doctor continued to smile; in short, she was persuading Dolores to
accept it.
The doctor had already said to this point, and Dolores could hardly refuse, so she agreed, “Then, sorry
for the inconvenience.”
The doctor waved her hand, “It’s no trouble at all; it is you who helped me.”
Dolores blinked her eyes, and asked with puzzlement, “Helped you? What did I help you for?”
Standing behind Dolores, Theresa was unblinkingly staring at the tall “trainee doctor” who was standing
behind the doctor.
He wore a lab coat, and on his head was a blue cap specialized for doctors. He also wore a mask, and
glasses in which not even his face or eyes could be seen.
If it wasn’t her who had known that Matthew knew Dolores would be coming to the hospital today, she
definitely would not be guessing who he was.
However, after combining the words of the doctor, she really had to guess on him.
Looking at the height and outfit… She thought luckily the face was covered well; otherwise he could be
recognized, right?
The doctor quickly explained, “Yes, of course you are helping me. Nowadays, there are very few men
who would like to become obstetrician. You see, at first he was already embarrassed, as he covered
his entire face, and was ashamed to meet other people. I just want him to practice more.”
Dolores did notice that there was an additional person at the clinic today; she had only glanced when
she first came, and didn’t pay attention to him anymore.
Theresa took the checklist by the doctor, and lifted Dolores, “Okay, don’t ask anymore. The doctor will
not lie to you. Look at you warily asking so much.”
Dolores was speechless.
‘Did I even ask a lot?’
She speechlessly looked at Theresa, “Did I ask much?”
“Not much. I just don’t want to waste time. You still haven’t eaten breakfast. We do the checkup now,
and after that you get something to eat.” Theresa explained while helping her walked to the outside.
She then left Dolores to the ‘trainee doctor’, “You bring her for checkup; I’ll be going to pay the fees.”
After speaking, Theresa grabbed the checklist and left.
Dolores wanted to call her out, but Theresa walked away fast and was now gone. She could only
bother the ‘trainee doctor’.
“Sorry for the trouble,” she said politely.
The ‘trainee doctor’ didn’t say anything, though he gave her a please hand gesture. Dolores thought he
was like what the doctor described; since he was a male obstetrician, he would be a little bit
embarrassed, so he didn’t talk much. She didn’t care much, and followed him.
Probably she felt that it was a guy, so Dolores didn’t look at him much.
She just quietly followed behind him.
The phlebotomy department was at the first floor, while the outpatient clinic was at the second floor, so
they had to get down to the first floor. The elevator between first and second floor could only be used
by patients who couldn’t walk. The escalators on both sides were not opened for a long time, and
basically the staircase on the middle was the only one being used. Between the first and second floor
was only a staircase, and it was much convenient as there was no curves.
Reaching at the staircase, the ‘trainee doctor’ instinctively reached his hand out to help her go down.
Dolores curled, and immediately explained as she was afraid that it might hurt his self-esteem, “I can
do it myself; there’s no need to help me.”
Actually, she felt that it wasn’t appropriate, since it’s a guy, but she could certainly walk on her own.
The ‘trainee doctor’ quickly realized that he was a bit impetuous, so he withdrew his hand back from
the air.
He just warily walked beside her, as he was afraid that she would accidentally slip, so he could catch NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
her just in time.
Dolores felt the awkwardness, and hold the handrail while getting down on the stairs.
After walking down the stairs, the ‘trainee doctor’ again voluntarily walked up front to lead the way.
Dolores thought that this ‘trainee doctor’ was too careful, and it was not comfortable to walk beside
him.
She looked behind, and hoped that Theresa would come back quickly, but she was nowhere to be
seen. She could only turn back and continue to follow the ‘trainee doctor’.
Soon, the ‘trainee doctor’ had brought Dolores to the phlebotomy department. A lot of people were
doing blood tests; they needed to wait on the line before being called for their turn.
The thing was that Theresa had not come back yet, so they could give the checklist to the nurse in
order for them to get a number to be called.
Theresa seemed to have thought of this as well, so initially she wanted to wait at a quiet place and wait
for the ‘trainee doctor’ to complete the other checkups of Dolores then would come, but they had come
much early.
Just when Dolores was about to give her a call, she ran back, and gave the payment list and checkup
list to the ‘trainee doctor’, “Since you are here for internship, then I’ll leave it to you for you to
experience more.”
She added emphasis on the words ‘for you to see more’.
It was like reminding him that it was not easy for a woman to be pregnant for nine months.
The ‘trainee doctor’ looked up at her, and reached out his hand to take the lists. Dolores reached out to
stop him, but accidentally touched the ‘trainee doctor’s’ hand. She withdrew back as if she felt an
electric shock, and then glared at Theresa, "You have accompanied me for check-up, but you handed
over the lists. Where are you going?"
She was uncomfortable with the ‘trainee doctor’.
"You haven't eaten yet, so I'll see if they are selling anything delicious outside. I'll buy them for you, and
you can eat them after your checkup." Theresa said.
"There is no need for that; I'll just eat anything after the checkup, you..."
"Okay, okay." Theresa disrupted her, and looked very unwell. "There is a queue here, and I don't like
the smell in the hospital. I had smelled too much before, so I'll just go buy you some food." Theresa
then left afterwards.
Dolores did not continue to talk. Before, Theresa had been in the hospital for a long time and must
have a hard time. After all, she was badly injured. She could understand that Theresa was sensitive
towards the smell of disinfectant in the hospital. She sighed a little bit and found an empty chair then
sat down; she waited for the ‘trainee doctor’ to hand the list to the nurse in the line, and waited for the
number to be called.
After the ‘trainee doctor’ gave the lists to the nurse, he returned to her side, standing behind her.
Sitting beside Dolores was also a pregnant woman, whose pregnancy was bigger than Dolores’, and
looked quite older than Dolores, but was very talkative. She was probably bored while waiting, so she
initiated to talk with Dolores. She looked at Dolores' belly and asked, "How many months have you
been?"
Dolores said that hers was around four months old, and then looked at her belly. She had some
experience in having children, so she could somehow tell a little, and said, "Yours must be six or seven
months old?"
That woman laughed, “You are quite accurate; mine is almost seven months old.”
“Do you come by yourself? Doesn’t your husband come with you?” the woman asked.
Dolores’ facial expression was unnatural for a moment, and immediately turned calm again, “He is
busy. I came with a friend.”
The woman sighed, "I am also alone, and my husband is also very busy. Ever since I married him, I
don’t even have a friend by my side. By the way, is this your first child? You look very young."
Dolores faked a smile and said nothing. She was pregnant at the age of eighteen, and it was too early
to give birth at the age of nineteen. She was now only in her twenties, and this was her third child.
Standing behind her, the ‘trainee doctor’ looked down at her. Since his face was covered, no one could
see his facial expression.
The woman thought that Dolores didn’t say anything, and thought she was right. She leaned over and
smilingly asked, “Do you plan on doing Caesarean section or natural birth?”
“I am going with natural birth.” Dolores answered. Andrew and Amanda Nelson were both through
natural birth. Since both of them are small and it was quite painful during the childbirth, the harm wasn’t
that big.
The woman frowned and said, “I planned on doing Caesarean section.”
Dolores did not understand, ‘Why do Caesarean section when you can do natural birth?’
“Why, isn’t natural birth better?”
“You are obviously young, and do not understand this aspect. I suggest you do Caesarean section.”
The woman looked like she knew a lot, and even the ‘trainee doctor’ standing behind Dolores was
interested.
The woman got close to Dolores, “I heard that when a woman does natural birth, their vagina is
loosened up. In order to keep your husband, Caesarean section is a better choice.”
