James and Irene first came to Villa Lakeside because of this, so Lilia had prepared a sumptuous lunch for them.
At the dining table, however, a faint sadness wandered between James' brows.
He ate without saying a word, and the atmosphere was a little depressed.
Lilia looked at her brother-in-law while looking at her plate, then secretly bumped into her man's arm, and bent down to ask in a low voice. "What's wrong with brother-in-law? You two had a fight?"
Since they left the study, James hasn't spoken in a long time and his face is also very serious.
Jean glanced at his brother's silent figure, shaking his head slightly. "Maybe thinking of something."
Irene also saw her husband's strange behavior, then she reminded him with a raised voice, "Remember your age. Just because you don't like the food, don't be cranky!"
Hearing the woman's displeased tone, James was startled and snapped out of his reverie in an instant.
He sighed in silence and stretched out his brows. "Looks like I thought too much ... Forget it, let's eat!"
...
After eating, Lilia felt a little sleepy. Before that, she escorted James and Irene back to her room so they could take a nap.
With her child growing inside her, now she really feels the sleepiness of a pregnant woman.
This afternoon, James and Jean went to the study again, and they weren't out all afternoon.
Tonight, James and Irene stay at the Lakeside Villa.
Afraid that they might not be used to the bed, Lilia specially cleaned the spacious guest room with Mei at night. The least that Lilia could do was to make her brother and sister-in-law's room as comfortable as possible.
...
The next day, on Monday morning, the group got into a car and left for the Surabaya Central Hospital.
Last week, Amelia had told Lilia that she had to have a fetal heart rate and deformity test today.
When the convoy arrived, the Widjaya family's personal doctor, Doctor Lucas, was waiting at the door of the hospital.
Seeing the convoy coming, he hurried forward. "The Patriarch and his wife are here too?!"
Lucas looked at the three cars behind, he couldn't help but slap his cheeks.
That's right, this is the Widjaya family's first baby!
Lilia was wearing a mask and hat when she got out of the car, then walked straight to the VIP section of the mother and child center from the parking lot with her head down.
James himself did not come down to avoid the eyes around them. Instead, he waited in the car with Jean. The two of them were in the back seat of the car and chatting again.
The mother and child center arranged a checkup very quickly, and Irene came to accompany Lilia along the way. Including what the nutritionist and doctor said, this sister-in-law had carefully recorded it on the memo.
During the deformity check, Lilia was a little nervous.
However, previous exposure to radiation definitely carries its own risks for the child.
She subconsciously held her breath, and only seconds later she heard the doctor laugh and say, "Miss Lilia, just relax, take a deep breath and don't hold your breath."
"Lilia, it's okay, don't be nervous!" Irene patted her shoulder calmly, as the probe roamed around Lilia's stomach, she couldn't help but look at the screen, and her expression seemed to be looking forward to it.
A few minutes later, Amelia picked up the tissue and wiped the clear fluid on her stomach, smiling happily. "Don't worry, your child is healthy. The fetus was formed, and there were no visible defects. Your little baby is very healthy."
Lilia was surprised. "Really?"
"Of course. After this, I will help you arrange the time for the next examination, as well as a list of foods that are usually good for fetal development. As long as you pay more attention to this child, there should be no problem."
Lilia touched her cold lower abdomen, a strong soft light appeared in her eyes. "Thank you, doctor,"
After leaving the mother and child center, Lilia's eyes were filled with joy.
She finally had something she could be happy for after the countless storms she'd passed in the last few days.
Lilia and Irene went into the elevator, and she could not help but think whether her child would be tough enough like their father or as smart as her when the little baby came later. The child had survived the effects of radiation, as well as the pain of the eye medicine she had suffered from, and lived with her for so long.
Lilia was sure that her child would grow better after this.
"Lilia, this is the doctor's advice that was given just now. Go home and allow the servants to adjust your daily nutritious diet accordingly. I see that your stomach has swelled up. If you still want to work in the future, let your company cut your work schedule a little, how about that?"
Irene sent a screenshot of the memo to Lilia from her cellphone, and at the same time, she tested her attitude towards her job.
Hearing this, Lilia immediately agreed. "Sister, don't worry, all of my work was done yesterday."
"Is it true?" Irene said happily.
Lilia calmly nodded and smiled back. "At least in pre-production, I didn't want anyone to notice my baby bump."
Irene nodded with satisfaction. "That's good then."
After speaking, they finally arrived at the parking lot. From a distance, Lucas was standing by the car door and reporting the results to Jean and James.
Lucas explained, "Miss Lilia and the fetus are fine, we've also arranged for an examination schedule. If nothing is needed, I'll take my leave first,"
"Ah, alright then. You can go now!" James waved his hand at Lucas. After confirming that he was gone, he said to Jean in a low voice, "In this situation, it is likely that Alfred will jump over the wall in a hurry."
"What are you planning to do? If he really targets Lilia, I'm afraid there will be danger. Or would you like to let her stay in the old house for a while?" He added.
Jean's eyelids drooped slightly and his voice was deep. "I will discuss it with her."
James saw his indifferent expression and exclaimed, "That child is more important than anything. Promise me that Lilia will be safe, if not then… Let's see how hard I could slap you!"
James was so angry that he ranted in front of his brother, but Jean thought that he was being dramatic.
In the Widjaya family, his position as the head of the family is merely a title.
None of his younger siblings are obedient towards him!
...
On the way home, the convoy immediately returned to the Widjaya family house.
In the car, Lilia took the photo attached on the document, and looked left and right happily.
The man looked at her cheek, his eyebrows stretched out and his eyes were as deep as the sea.
After a while, Lilia kept the papers carefully, and when she turned her eyes, she ran into the man's intense gaze. "What were you and your brother talking about these days? You seem to have lots of secrets!"
"What secrets? I'm just happy talking to my brother. Lilia… I want you to stay at my family's house for a while."
Lilia blinked, she looked at the man. "Where are you going?"
A smile appeared under the man's eyes. "Nowhere, I'll accompany you."
Hearingthis, Lilia suspects something. "Why can't we just stay at home then? I don't want to stay with my sister and brother-in-law. Our house is the most comfortable place!"
"Okay, I follow your wishes!" Jean always puts Lilia's wishes first.
Since she doesn't want to, he won't force it.
Lilia stared at him, then licked the corner of her mouth and said wisely, "These two days... There is no way for you to just talk about this matter.. I was already suspicious of the absent-minded brother-in-law at dinner yesterday. Does this have something to do with Alfred? Did your brother find anything about him?"
