Chapter 570 - 542: Quite Pretty
The attending nurse quickly explained, "Dr. Sutton wants to check a full range of indicators, including blood routine, liver and kidney function, and hormone levels. This will help provide Miss Thorne with comprehensive pregnancy guidance."It made a lot of sense, so Simon Forrester no longer questioned it and instead reminded the nurse drawing blood, "Be gentle."
He got an eye-roll in response.
He didn’t mind and proceeded to remind the attending nurse, "My last name is Forrester."
The nurse understood immediately and corrected herself, "Oh, to provide Mrs. Forrester with comprehensive pregnancy guidance."
Simon Forrester was satisfied.
After the blood draw, they went to the ultrasound department. Since Joel Sutton had already made an appointment for Sienna Thornton in his office, they could do the ultrasound immediately after submitting the form.
The nurse led them to the last ultrasound room in the corridor, and while waiting outside, she whispered, "This doctor is the most experienced in the ultrasound department. Dr. Sutton has already smoothed things over, so if Mr. and Mrs. Forrester have any questions later, feel free to ask the doctor directly."
Sienna Thornton nodded, just about to say "thank you" when the ultrasound room door opened.
She entered with Simon Forrester.
The ultrasound doctor’s assistant saw a big man come in and quickly said, "Family members aren’t allowed inside, please leave!"
The ultrasound doctor smiled and said, "It’s okay," so the assistant didn’t force them out.
Seeing that the ultrasound doctor was male, Simon Forrester felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn’t do anything about it, so he just watched closely the entire time.
"Come on, don’t be nervous, expectant mom. First, lift your top to your ribs, and then lower the waistband to your pubic bone," said the ultrasound doctor in a gentle voice.
Sienna Thornton felt a bit relieved and complied, then soon felt a cool sensation on her belly as the ultrasound doctor moved the probe up and down, left and right, before pressing down hard at one point.
Sienna Thornton let out a muffled sound, and Simon Forrester immediately leaned in nervously, "Does it hurt?"
"No, it doesn’t hurt."
At this point, the ultrasound doctor pointed to the screen, "This is the gestational sac, and there’s no fluid around, so the baby is very healthy, no need to worry."
Simon Forrester stepped forward to take a closer look at their child, but all he saw was a dark mass. After a long look, he could only make out a tiny thing that looked like a soybean.
So that was their child, the fruit of their love.
Thinking that he’d be a father in eight months, Simon Forrester felt a mix of emotions and suddenly blurted out, "Can you tell if it’s a boy or girl yet?"
The ultrasound doctor was taken aback, thinking they were anxious about the child’s gender, and awkwardly replied, "You can’t tell yet. Boys and girls are both good; they’re yours. Don’t reject your child just to choose a gender..."
Simon Forrester kept looking at the screen and subconsciously said, "Girls are nice, like little jackets. We want a daughter."
Doctor: "..."
Simon Forrester watched a bit more, his smile widening, turning to Sienna on the examination bed, "She looks quite pretty."
Sienna chuckled, "It’s still so tiny, just a gestational sac. How can you tell it’s pretty?"
"To me, it looks pretty," Simon said, then turned to the ultrasound doctor, "You have a lot of experience. Do you think our baby looks pretty?"
Doctor: ???
"Pretty, pretty. With good-looking parents, whether it’s a boy or girl, it’ll definitely be pretty."
The doctor responded awkwardly as they packed up the probe, and Simon Forrester quickly grabbed a few tissues to wipe the gel off Sienna’s belly, then helped her adjust her clothes and trousers, all the while asking, "Is it cold? I’ll warm you up when we get in the car."
Everyone: "..."
Leaving the ultrasound room, the attending nurse led Simon Forrester and Sienna Thornton straight to Joyce Sutton’s office.
Sienna Thornton was surprised, "We haven’t got the report yet."
The nurse smiled, "It’s fine, Dr. Sutton can see it on the computer. I’ll fetch the report for you later."
Sienna Thornton glanced at her watch and softly said to Simon Forrester, "So we’re doing well today. All the tests are done and we’re with the doctor in under an hour."
Simon Forrester smiled, "That’s why you need your own people. It’s both reassuring and convenient."
Sienna Thornton agreed, "When I brought my mom here for check-ups in the past, even with Zion Quincy speaking to the doctors, we still waited in line. Usually, when we made appointments in the morning, we’d have to wait till afternoon to do the checks, and by the time we got the report, the doctors had left, so we had to come back the next day."
"Zion Quincy and those doctors are just colleagues at best. But do you know about Tobias Blackwood and this Dr. Sutton’s relationship?"
When Sienna Thornton heard this, thinking about the beautiful and intellectual Joyce Sutton and the steady, handsome Tobias Blackwood, she covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Are they... like that?"
