The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 258

It was Thursday.

The clinic wasn't too crowded.

Roxanne finished all the necessary check-ups in just an hour.

She took the reports back to show her obstetrician.

Dr. Lindstrom was a slim middle-aged woman with many freckles on her face.

However, she had a warm and inviting smile.

Roxanne always scheduled her appointments with Dr. Lindstrom, because she was a kind-hearted

person.

Dr. Lindstrom also had a good impression of Roxanne.

It was because, during her first prenatal check-up, Roxanne had straightforwardly stated that she was

divorced.

Most people would probably be distressed when talking about their divorce.

But not Roxanne.

She smiled brightly and confidently.

She said that she had been given a new fresh start.

She was excited about her baby, wanting to bring a new life into the world and explore the beautiful

world with her child.

She firmly stated that she would give birth to the child!

What shocked Dr. Lindstrom even more was that Roxanne's eyes were burning with maternal love.

It was a kind of strength that Dr. Lindstrom had never seen in her years of being a doctor.

The gaze appeared as if it had been forged through countless trials and tribulations.

Despite the hardships and challenges, her eyes were still filled with determination and confidence.

That was why Dr. Lindstrom had a special impression of Roxanne.

Each time she saw her, she would greet her like a friend.

"Roxanne, have you been enjoying your meals recently?"

This was the first when she saw Dr. Lindstrom frown, and Roxanne became anxious, "What's wrong,

Dr. Lindstrom? Is there something wrong with the baby?"

"Your baby is larger by a full three weeks than it should be. Your baby is seventeen-week-old, but is as

big as a twenty-week-old. Normally, such symptoms occur in the later stages of pregnancy. Your baby

had grown three weeks ahead in your mid-pregnancy. You need to pay attention to your diet and

ensure that your baby won’t become too large. Otherwise, if you want a natural birth, it might be a bit

difficult."

That explained it!

That's why her abdomen had grown so rapidly.

Most women at four months of pregnancy were just starting to show.

But she looked like she was five months pregnant.

It turned out that her baby was three weeks ahead in growth.

It was partly her fault.

Her appetite had been increasing, and she had developed a love for soup, especially chicken soup, fish

soup, and bone broth.

Chloe had recently hired a nanny who would make soup for Roxanne.

Dominic also frequently brought her delicious food.

Roxanne was the type of pregnant woman who only gained weight in their belly; all the nutrition of the

food she had seemed to be absorbed by the baby.

It might just be a chubby little cutie in the future!

Upon hearing that there wasn't any significant issue to worry about, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Dr. Lindstrom then asked, "Would you like to listen to the baby's heartbeat as usual?"

"Yes." Roxanne replied eagerly.

Fetal heart monitoring was usually done in the later stages of pregnancy.

However, Roxanne had insisted on that since she could hear the baby’s heartbeat in the eighth week of

her pregnancy, and she made it a standard part of her prenatal check-up.

She lay on the bed, with the fetal heart monitor in place, she could listen to the rhythmic and playful

heartbeat of her baby coming through the speakers, and a satisfied smile crossed Roxanne's face.

It was the inheritance of her life and bloodline.

It was a precious life she would cherish and protect with all her might.

She didn't think being a single mother would be hard.

In fact, she felt incredibly blessed. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

From childhood to adulthood, she had lived on her own, even each breath she took was filled with

bitterness.

But now, there was a lovable baby who would be by her side every day, and never leave her alone.

What could be more beautiful than that?

Yet, as she smiled, tears welled up in her eyes.

If Harrison could hear this lively and lovely sound of their child’s heartbeat, would he still insist on

abandoning them?

In just three months, all her memories with Harrison seemed to be right in front of her.

Yet, they felt like something from a previous lifetime.

She wiped away her tears and took out her phone.

She recorded this precious sound, the heartbeat of their child.

Walking from the clinic to the parking lot, Roxanne observed people coming and going from the

hospital.

She adjusted her complicated and bitter emotions.

She was ready to return to work with a cheerful heart.

She couldn't keep dwelling in sadness.

She was just a single mother, right?

And it was just that no one accompanied her during prenatal check-ups.

When she made the choice to bring this baby into the world, she knew she had to bear all of this on her

own.

She didn't think it was hard.

Instead, when she felt the baby’s movements in her belly, she felt like the happiest mother in the world.

The breeze gently brushed her face, and the sunlight was bright.

She smiled with relief and determination.

However, there was one thing bothering her: what was the man lying under her car for?

Was he trying to steal her tires, or something else?

The man lying under her car was dressed in a suit and a pair of immaculate, high-end leather shoes.

That pair of shoes was from a high-end brand worth thousands of dollars.

He looked somewhat familiar and didn't look like a thief.

Roxanne remained cautious, and she kicked the pair of shoes that looked familiar, but she couldn't

remember where she had seen them before.

"Hey, what are you doing under my car? Come out."

"If you don't come out, I'm calling the police."

The man emerging from beneath the car was Dominic.

Although he was dressed in a high-end suit, the stains on his clothes were probably a result of his time

spent under her car.

"Dominic? What are you doing under my car?"

Dominic wore a stern expression, "You knew the brake pads were loose and you still dared to drive?"

"How do you know my brake pads are loose?"

Oh!

It must have been Chloe who told Dominic.

Chloe was Dominic's informant.

Anytime she was unwell, had insomnia, or had any troubles, Dominic would be informed promptly.

"Your car needs to be taken for repairs, or else the loose brakes could cause problems at any time. I'll

ask someone to tow your car, and I'll send you home."

They got into Dominic’s car, but Dominic still looked a bit unhappy.

"Roxanne, can you stop trying to handle everything on your own?"

"I'm not trying to handle everything."

"Can’t you just tell me that your brakes are loose? Can’t you ask me to take you to the hospital for a

prenatal check-up? What if I hadn't come today? If something happened to you while you were driving."

Dominic’s voice, which had started off strong, suddenly choked up.

Brake failure could lead to a fatal accident.

He had already lost Roxanne once. The thought of her having an accident was unbearable.

He didn't even dare to think about that.

In just a short moment, Dominic's palms were sweaty.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly, paying careful attention to the road conditions and driving

cautiously.

"When is your next prenatal check-up? I'll take you."

"I can’t quite remember."

"Is that you can’t remember or that do you not want to tell me?"

"I really can’t remember."

Just then, they hit a red light.

Dominic turned his head to see through the secrets hidden in her eyes.

"Roxanne," he began, "You don’t want to rely on anyone again, because you’re afraid that someone

you’ve relied on might walk away suddenly, right?"

A flicker of pain flashed in Roxanne's eyes.

From now on, she wouldn't rely on anyone.

Hiding the pain deep in her eyes, she gave a straightforward smile, “Can't you see through it without

mentioning it?”
