Chapter 438 - 438: Little Lee (1/2)

Elle and Erick just remained silent while hugging each other for several minutes. They were just interrupted by the knocking sound outside the ward.

”Come in,” Erick mumbled, he was still holding Elle in his arms.

After Erick said that, the door was opened and a person wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a cap entered the room. Erick frowned as he didn't recognize the person.

He was about to ask the newcomer when suddenly the person removed his cap. It turned out that the person was Mr. Carter. Erick remembered that he requested his presence a while ago, thinking that Elle was still affected by the toxin.

”How is she?” Mr. Carter asked Erick while putting the basket of fruits on the bedside table.

Elle finally lifted her face to see Mr. Carter. She smiled at him while Erick answered Mr. Carter's question.

”She's fine now. I'm sorry for giving you a hassle and asking you to go here. She didn't faint because of the toxin. I was overthinking at that time.” Erick apologized to Mr. Carter.

Mr. Carter let out a soft chuckle before shaking his head. ”What are you saying, young man? This is not a hassle. I came here because I'm also worried about your wife. So, what happened?”

Elle and Erick exchanged meaningful glances with each other then Elle told him about the good news.

”Mr. Carter, I'm pregnant!”

Mr. Carter was dumbfounded for a moment. But after processing what he had just heard, the shocked expression on his face was replaced by a joyous one.

”Oh my, congratulations to the both of you! Your first baby?”

Elle and Erick nodded in unison. The smile on their faces didn't disappear.

”Thank you, Mr. Carter. But'... I'm worried. Is it possible that the toxin before might affect the development of our baby inside her w.o.m.b?” Erick couldn't help but ask Mr. Carter.

Elle also became anxious when she heard that. Reflexively, Elle touched again her flat belly. Her face was painted by worries and concerns. Both Elle and Erick were anticipating Mr. Carter's response.

”You don't have to worry. After examining Elle's blood sample, I didn't see any remnants of the toxin in your blood. I believe that there's no remaining toxin inside your body. Aside from that, the antibodies inside your body have strengthened your immune system. It is also beneficial to the baby.” Mr. Carter reassured them.

”Your baby might become immune to any kind of toxin. He or she will become a super baby!” Mr. Carter added, cracking some jokes.

He even laughed at his own jokes. Erick and Elle also joined him as they burst out laughing. That's the moment they heard another knock. When the door was opened, Erick's parent's emerged from it.

Erick had also informed them about Elle's pregnancy. They were so happy that finally, they would become grandparents.

”Mom, Dad!” Erick stood up to greet them. Sarah immediately hugged her son while congratulating him.

”Son, good job! You finally fulfilled our wishes.” Sarah blurted out in his ear. Erick could only nod and chuckle. That was also his wish.

Raymond greeted Mr. Carter immediately when he noticed his presence. After hugging Erick, Sarah walked towards Elle's bed. She also hugged her.

”My dear daughter, I'm so happy for both of you. You will now become parents. Don't worry, I will help you raise our grandchild. I will give you tips.” Sarah said cheerfully.

Elle giggled. She felt grateful. ”Thanks, Mom. I also want to know your secret on how you raise a very wonderful child just like Erick. He turned a good man that we could really proud of.”
