Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 215

The female doctor put down her tools, smiled and said, "Congrats guys, your baby is developing really well, no problems at all. No ectopic pregnancy or anything like that, and most importantly, there are two sacs. I checked thoroughly , and they're definitely twins."

Hearing this, Ethan was stunned. He always joked about wanting twins, thinking it would be less painful to have two at once, but he knew the odds were slim. Now that his dream had come true, he was caught off guard.

Ines was just as excited, she even tried to sit up and said, "Ethan, it's twins, it's really twins."

The doctor gently held Ines down, laughed and said, "Don't get too excited yet, let me clean up your belly first."

Ethan snapped out of his shock, took the tissue from the doctor, and carefully wiped the gel off Ines's stomach. His eyes filled with deep love and tenderness.

After Ines sat up, Ethan held her in his arms and whispered, "Izzy, thank you."

Before Ines could even start celebrating, she pushed him away and whispered, "Let go of me first, this is a hospital. Don't disturb the doctor's work."

Ethan then let go of her and apologized to the doctor, "Sorry, I got a bit too excited when I heard the good news."

The doctor brushed it off, "Mr. Meyer, you're nothing like the rumors say. Everyone says you're cold, but all I see is a loving husband."

Ethan chuckled, "Right now, I'm just a regular husband, not the CEO of the Meyer Group. It's only natural for me to take care of my wife."

The doctor patted Ines's shoulder, "You're lucky, you found a husband who truly loves you."

Ines just smiled, "I suppose."

The doctor laughed, "The hospital is the best place to test a person's heart. There's always something happening here. To us doctors, true love is someone who stays by your side when you're sick, not someone who just puts on a good show in public."

Today was a happy day for Ethan. He squatted down to help Ines put on her shoes. Ines blushed and quickly got off the bed.

Ethan turned to the doctor and asked, "Doctor, what should we be careful about next?"

The doctor smiled and asked, "Have you taken folic acid?"

"We've been taking it for about three months now." Ethan said.

The doctor nodded, "Three months of folic acid is about right. Pregnant women need to supplement with calcium and iron at five or six months. Remember to have light meals more frequently. Don't overeat."

Ethan was a little confused by the doctor's words and frowned, "If it's twins, don't we need to add extra nutritional supplements?"

The doctor laughed, "No need. The nutrition a pregnant woman needs can be fully obtained from a normal diet. Although nutritional supplements are health products, in the end, they are also drugs, and drugs always have some side effects. So if your constitution isn't too weak, there's no need to take them. Also, over-supplementing can lead to excessive weight gain in pregnant women, which increases the risk of difficult labor."

Ethan nodded, "I understand."

The doctor asked, "Have you hired a nanny yet?"

"We have." Ethan said.

"Then don't worry too much. Today's nannies are experienced and can help with many problems. But remember, although having twins is exciting, it's much harder than having a single baby. The pressure on the mother is also greater. You must keep her in a good mood."

Ethan listened patiently to the doctor's instructions, and when she was done, he and Ines left the hospital. He saw the smile on Ines's face and couldn't help but smile as well.

Just as they reached the ground floor, someone called out to Ines, "Izzy, is that you?"

Ines turned to see a man standing not far away.

Ethan's gaze lingered on the man. He looked somewhat unfriendly as he had never heard of this man in Ines's life.

The man seemed to notice Ethan's gaze and gave him a faint smile.

Ines searched her memory but couldn't recall when she met this man. She frowned, "I'm sorry, my past memories are a bit hazy, I can't remember who you are."

The man laughed, "So that's why, no wonder you didn't notice me in the hospital. We used to be good friends, do you still keep in touch with Phoebe? How is she doing?"

Ines suddenly realized that this might be the man Phoebe has been thinking about. Judging by his appearance, he was definitely Phoebe's type.

"I still keep in touch with Phoebe. She's doing well," Ines said.

Seeing that the man was concerned about Phoebe, not Ines, Ethan relaxed a bit and introduced himself, "I'm Ethan, Ines's husband."

The man seemed surprised, "We're not young anymore; it's about time we settled down. Has Phoebe gotten married?"

Ines didn't answer, just said, "You should ask Phoebe about that yourself." She wasn't sure what had happened between them; she only knew that he suddenly went abroad without telling Phoebe anything.

The man gave a bitter smile, and was about to speak when a young woman's voice cut in, "Samuel, let's go. I've completed the discharge formalities for mom." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The man nodded and turned to Ethan and Ines, "Izzy, Mr. Meyer, I have some things to do, I'll be leaving now."

After the man left, Ines grinned at Ethan, who was once again being irrationally jealous. If it wasn't for overhearing them talking about Phoebe, he'd probably still be frowning. But it didn't affect their good mood.
