The Heartbreak Prescription (by Glazed Snow) novel Chapter 1159

A prenatal checkup?

The moment Nathan heard those words, he froze. He had no idea there was any checkup scheduled.

"What prenatal checkup?" he repeated.

Wanda looked at him in surprise. "Mrs. Lowe is pregnant. The hospital scheduled her prenatal appointment for today. Didn't she tell you?"

Ivy didn't.

Wanda frowned, clearly puzzled.

"That can't be right. I just asked Mrs. Lowe, and she said you were going with her today. How could she not have told you?"

As Wanda spoke, her gaze turned reproachful.

"Mr. Lowe, I'm not trying to lecture you, but this is seriously irresponsible."

Nathan felt a headache coming on. He looked straight at her.

"I really didn't know about any checkup."

"No, Mrs. Lowe definitely told you. You just weren't paying attention."

Nathan sighed. "She didn't tell me."

"That's impossible."

Wanda shook her head firmly.

"She must've said it. You just didn't take it to heart. Mr. Lowe, I really have to criticize you for this. That's your wife and your child. As a man, you need to care about your family and take responsibility. You should be a good husband and a good father."

Nathan stared at Wanda while she scolded him without holding back.

Wanda trusted Ivy completely. In her mind, there was no doubt Ivy had mentioned the appointment. The problem had to be Nathan.

Nathan was already in a terrible mood. Being accused on top of that made his expression harden in an instant, the warmth draining from his face.

The real reason his expression turned so grim was Ivy. She hadn't told him about the prenatal checkup. Why hadn't she said anything?

Nathan stood up and walked out.

The doctor nodded. "Alright. We'll start with blood work, then do an ultrasound to check the early development."

Madge took the forms, and the two of them walked out together.

They went to the lab and had Ivy's blood drawn. Madge looked at the tiny mark on Ivy's arm. "Did it hurt?"

Ivy smiled. "Not really."

"But they took so much blood," Madge said worriedly. "Sit here for a bit. I'll go get you a cup of water."

"Okay."

Madge walked off to get the water.

Ivy sat alone on the bench. She didn't actually feel pain, but after losing that much blood, she felt a little light-headed.

Her appetite hadn't been great lately, and she hadn't eaten much breakfast.

Footsteps approached. Ivy assumed Madge was back and looked up.
