Chapter 629 - Finlands Advice (1/2)
L left her room when Dr. Muller came. After all, she still had to fulfill her promise of maintaining her health and seeing the doctor according to schedule. This time, Dr. Muller brought a portable ultrasound device, wirelessly connected to the ultrasound machine at the hospital so they could see their child's gender.
”Are you ready?” Dr. Muller asked. London nodded. L still remained quiet.
”Oh God... please don't let my child be named Terry...” London murmured repeatedly. ”Please don't let my child be named Terry ...”
”What are you saying?” L scowled at him. ”Who's Terry?”
”Eh, nobody. My annoying brother. You don't need to know.” London shrugged.
”I didn't know you had a brother,” L voiced.
”You never asked,” London answered. He turned to Dr. Muller. ”Please, Doctor. I can't wait.”
Dr. Muller nodded. He told L to lie on her bed and expose her stomach. Dr. Muller then put the gel on L's stomach and also moved the detector over it. While moving the sonogram detector, he showed the ultrasound image on the tablet to London.
”This is a 4D picture. You can see that this is the head, it's already formed. These are the hands and feet... those are the fingers... and this is the heart.” Dr. Muller turned to London and smiled, ”Your child is a girl. Congratulations.”
London involuntarily exhaled in relief. Ahh... thank God. He would have a daughter like L! He was elated.
Without realizing it, tears formed on both corners of his eyes as his hands touched the tablet and watched the results of the baby's sonogram.
”What small hands...” London murmured in a low voice.
L looked at London's moved expression without blinking.
”Would you like to see the sonogram results, Miss?” Doctor Muller offered.
L expressionlessly shook her head. She then closed her eyes and refused to speak. Her attitude astonished Doctor Muller, but London hadn't given it much thought.
He suspected that L deliberately didn't want to see the results of her child's sonogram because she didn't want to waver. He knew that L was still determined to go and leave their child with London, so she didn't want to have an attachment to the child.
His c.h.e.s.t felt tight thinking of the possibility of how his proposal later tonight would be in vain because L rejected him.
After finishing the consultation and making sure everything was fine, Dr. Muller then excused himself. London and L just sat together in the living room in silence. London's head became heavy and his heart was filled with sadness after he saw the results of his child's sonogram.
He knew he loved his child, but only when he saw the results of the ultrasound directly as if he just met his child before birth, did he feel such a great affection, which he had never felt for anyone so far. He loved the fetus even more than himself.
He knew that his child would really need a mother. He almost cried imagining how sad his child would be when she found out her mother had left him for her career and for the sake of marrying a very rich man.
”You... you don't want to see the results of our child's sonogram at all?” London quietly asked. He turned to L, who was sitting next to him. His hand held up his phone, which had the ultrasound images of their child.
L shook her head. ”I understand what you're trying to say. Sorry, I won't change my mind. I don't want this child.”
London took a deep breath, disappointed. His confidence weakened seeing L's stubborn attitude. He was afraid to give Veritaserum to L and hear the harsh reality that L didn't want to marry him and care for their child.
He wasn't ready to accept a negative answer. Not today.
Talking with L always felt like facing a wall.
