Salute To The General

Meanwhile, a middle-aged gynecologist was studying Penny's test results in her clinic at the First Maternal and Infant Health Hospital in Brimmopolis. Penny was sitting opposite her, feeling very uneasy.

Ava, who was standing next to Penny, asked, "How're Mrs. Cross' results, Doctor? Is everything fine?"

The doctor replied with a smile, "Nothing serious. On the contrary, I must congratulate her."

"Huh? Congratulate me?" Penny was taken aback.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

The doctor giggled. "Ms. Smith, the test results show that you're pregnant for about a month now."

What?

Both Penny and Ava were stunned for a bit, but shortly after, they put on an ecstatic smile.

Penny was especially overjoyed. "Really, Doctor? I'm pregnant?" She got so worked up that her voice broke.

"Yes, that's absolutely correct." The doctor laughed. "That's the reason why you've been having no appetite recently, feeling somewhat nauseous, and detested oily food when you see them. Those were the signs and symptoms of being pregnant."

Penny was so happy to hear that that tears began to well up in her eyes.

She held Ava's hands and exclaimed, "Av, I'm pregnant! I'm pregnant again!"

Penny had had a miscarriage and lost her second child due to an untoward incident.

She had suffered from psychological trauma and physical injuries, and all of these had prevented her from bearing Nathan's child.

She had always wanted to give Nathan a son in order to carry on the Cross family line.

When it did not happen, she was very worried until the wonderful news came like a bolt from the blue, making her shed tears of joy.

Ava held her hands and consoled her, "Yes, Mrs. Cross, you're finally going to have a baby. This is great! I can imagine how delighted Mr. Cross will be." She was truly happy for Penny.

The doctor reminded her, "You need

to take good care of yourself in the first trimester. Don't work too hard. and tire yourself out. Once the

placenta is formed, things will

get

safer for the baby. I'll prescribe

some health supplements for

you to

eat routinely. If there's nothing else, I'll see you at the next check-up."

"Thank you. Thank you so much, Doctor." Penny was filled with gratitude.

Soon, the doctor passed them a medical slip which the ladies used to collect the medicines before leaving the hospital.

Then, they headed toward the entrance and were about to get into a BMW when several black Audis pulled over and surrounded them.

More than ten men in black suits got down from the Audis. They were all wearing work badges.

The square-faced man leading at the forefront showed Penny a document and proceeded to introduce himself coldly, "Hi, I'm Enrique Gray, the leader of the Special Investigation Unit. I've been tasked with probing into the root cause of President Woods' worsening condition. Could it be a medical malpractice? The medication provided by Cross Group is allegedly causing President Woods to get very sick. It's vastly suspicious, so I need you to come with us and assist in the

investigation, Mrs. Cross."

Penny was completely dumbfounded.

Ava went ballistic and pointed fingers at Enrique as she lashed out at him, "What nonsense are you spewing? Do you know who Mrs. Cross is? How dare you put her on the spot? Who on earth sent you?"

Enrique stuck his chin out and responded arrogantly, "I'm here representing the Cab to look into this matter."

Ava snapped, "The Cab? Does the

Chief Military Governor know about this?"

Enrique smirked. "Absolutely.

Although Chief Cross didn't agree with the idea, he acquiesced to the decision in the end."

He stared at Penny and said in a hostile tone, "Mrs. Cross, should we handcuff you and drag you to the car, or do you want to come with us on your own?"
