CHAPTER 1468 EXAMINING JULIA
Mary took a look at Sonia before replying with a smile, "Well, Young Mistress Sonia is pregnant with twins!"
Her announcement instantly brought silence to the ward.
Julia nearly knocked over the glass of water she was holding in her hands. After a while, she and Titus finally came to their senses and looked at Sonia in both surprise and disbelief.
"What? Sonny's pregnant with twins?" Julia raised her voice.
Mary nodded. "Yeah, that's right. We only learned about this yesterday. The babies are slow to develop, so it's never been detected before. It wasn't until the checkup yesterday that it turned out that Young Mistress Sonia is pregnant with twins."
"T-This is…" Titus and Julia were both choked with emotion. A moment later, Titus finally looked at Sonia with a flush of excitement in his cheeks. "This is great! You're actually pregnant with twins! How wonderful!" That means we'll have a grandson and a granddaughter!
Julia even burst into tears of emotion. "Sonny, you do have my family's blood in you."
Sonia immediately turned to look at her.
Mary asked curiously, "Mrs. Gray, do you mean Young Mistress Sonia is pregnant with twins because of your family?"
"That's right." Julia nodded. "My family has a history of twin births. My maternal grandmother gave birth to a pigeon pair, and so did my mother's youngest sister. I didn't give birth to one, but Sonny might've inherited it from her maternal great-grandmother." NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Only after hearing her explanation did Sonia learn that she was actually pregnant with twins because it did run in her mother's own family.
Mary looked at Sonia's belly with delight. "You mean Young Mistress Sonia might be expecting a pigeon pair too?"
Julia nodded. "I'm sure of that. My family always gives birth to a pigeon pair whenever they have twins, so I don't think Sonny will be an exception."
"A pigeon pair would be great. You'll have both a son and a daughter," Titus said happily, though there was a hint of regret in his eyes. He might not live to see the twins being born or hold them in his arms. That being said, he could die without any regrets, knowing that his daughter was pregnant with twins and that the Gray Family would have two offspring.
"By the way, Sonny, how are you feeling now?" Julia asked. "What did the doctor say? Are the babies in good health?" After all, twin pregnancies were much more dangerous than single ones. Moreover, Sonia wasn't really in good health in the first place, so Julia worried that the twin pregnancy would place a burden on her health.
Hearing her ask such a question, Titus, not knowing much about women's pregnancies, also became worried at once.
Sonia shook her head, though. "I'm fine; I'm not feeling unwell at all. The doctor said that I can smoothly give birth to the twins as long as I take good care of my health."
Julia heaved a long sigh of relief at her words. "Good to hear that," she said before letting out a laugh of regret. "It's just that I can no longer visit you every day from now on."
Titus gnashed his teeth in resentment. "It's all thanks to that detestable woman!"
Sonia and Mary exchanged a brief look. Instead of telling the couple that the woman was actually Tina, Sonia merely said, "It's okay. Now that you're injured, you should have a good rest. You don't have to visit me every day. Let's wait until… you're recovered." In other words, she was implying that she was no longer averse to Julia coming to visit her on the condition that Julia had to get well first.
Understanding what she meant, Titus and Julia were instantly beside themselves with joy. "Okay, okay, I'll take good care of myself and get well before looking after you by myself," Julia said while shedding tears of joy. She also wanted to look after Sonia in person and witness her two grandchildren being born.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Mary stood up, saying, "It's probably Dr. Lancaster. I'll answer the door."
Titus instantly realized who she was referring to. "Dr. Lancaster? You mean Tim Lancaster?"
"Uh-huh," Sonia replied. "It's him. He heard that I was coming, so he tagged along with us, saying that he wanted to help…" Turning to look at Titus, she opened her mouth, not knowing how to address Julia. She couldn't bring herself to call Julia "Mom," but it seemed inappropriate to call her Mrs. Gray either. In the end, instead of addressing Julia, she merely said, "He wants to check on you and see if
he can help you recover sooner."
"Well…" Titus and Julia were both stunned. They couldn't believe Tim would actually be so kind to them; after all, they could still remember vividly how the man had previously told them to leave the hospital. But then, Titus recalled Tim's unusual attitude toward Sonia. Perhaps he's come with Sonny to help check on us because he's noticed how much she cares about us.
"It's Dr. Lancaster indeed." Mary led Tim inside just then.
The man was followed by other doctors from Trifecta Hospital, who were all in a state of joy and excitement, for Tim was the world's leading medical professor. Despite his young age, he surpassed everyone in terms of medical skills. Some of the doctors who followed him here were actually much older, but they admired him all the same. After all, the most skilled in the profession would always be the teacher!
Tim ignored Titus and Julia, though. Instead, his gaze fell upon Sonia as he asked her how her conversation with the couple was going. "How's the conversation going?"
Sonia nodded. "We're almost done."
"Alright then, let me take a look." Tim glanced at his watch before resting his eyes on Julia. "I'll check your condition and help you recover as soon as possible so that you can look after her," he said while jutting out his chin in Sonia's direction. He and Toby both knew that in reality, Sonia had always yearned very much for a mother's love since losing her mother at a tender age. Despite refusing to acknowledge Julia as her mother, she didn't reject Julia coming to the hospital and looking after her every day, which proved that she actually accepted Julia and inwardly longed for her company. Furthermore, now that she was expecting, she would feel even more insecure. If the person who had
given birth to her back then were to keep her company at such a time, she would no longer be afraid. This was the actual reason why he came along with Sonia, or he wouldn't have cared about Julia at all.
"O-Okay…" Julia nodded in a daze. Even now, she still found it hard to believe that Tim would actually examine her in person. After all, she and Titus knew how much this guy had disliked them before. When they previously went to him to seek medical treatment, he had turned them down right away without sparing their feelings. They were furious with this at the time, but they couldn't do anything about him, as they couldn't afford to offend a genius doctor. However, they never thought he would actually come to examine them voluntarily in a dramatic turn of events right now. Of course, they knew that this was all because of their daughter, and they were kind of enjoying her filial devotion to them.
Julia smiled while letting the other doctors turn her over.
Tim began to examine her, while the other doctors watched him closely, wanting to learn something from him. Even though Tim wasn't a doctor at Trifecta Hospital, they were honored to have him grace the hospital with his presence.
On the other hand, Sonia and Mary sat quietly in the corner while silently waiting for Tim to finish examining Julia.
Only Titus squinted at Tim with a mixture of scrutiny and suspicion.
After a long time, Tim straightened up and signaled to the other doctors to turn Julia back over. He took off his gloves while saying, "Her condition isn't serious. If she has a screw inserted into her spine, she can recover a month and a half sooner." With Julia's condition, she would have to stay in the hospital for at least two to three months, but she could get treated by another method and recover in about a month after Tim examined her.
They'd got to hand it to him as a genius doctor, after all.
