Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 831

Charles quickly stepped in to comfort Jude. “You don’t have to worry about it too much. The doctor is just giving us a heads-up.”

“A heads-up? But we can’t indeed see the baby’s fingers when both its fists are clenched!” Jude was about to leap out of bed.

While watching her reaction in resignation, the doctor was slightly regretting his decision to point the truth out to the couple. However, it was his duty to do so. As a doctor, no matter how slim the chance of the defect occurring could be, there was nonetheless a chance in which that might be the case, so he had to inform them.

“At the moment, I can’t capture the baby’s face clearly, so I can’t take a photo of it. Why don’t you go on a quick stroll before coming back? You can have some chocolate. The baby will turn to face us when it’s excited.”

Meanwhile, Charles helped Jude up, and then wiped away the coupling agent on her belly with some tissues. After he ushered her out of the room, she began pacing back and forth in the corridor. “Darling, could our baby actually not have fingers?”

“It won’t. Don’t worry too much about it.”

“What do you mean by that? The possibility is there! This is your baby we’re talking about. Why do you seem not to care about it at all?” Jude was starting another rant yet again.

“Why would I not care about the baby? Jude, the doctor already told us that there is only a slim chance of the defect occurring. A lot of babies have their fists clenched during ultrasound scans, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

Despite Charles trying to patiently explain to Jude, she burst into tears of sorrow unwittingly. “You’re such a heartless b*stard! You don’t care about our baby at all! The baby would be disabled if it turns out that it has no fingers! How do you expect the child to survive then?”

All Charles could do was listen to her nonsensical words while trying his best to console her. After she fell asleep at night, he was finally able to relax. He received a video call from Pierre when he was in his study.

Neither of them liked the other in the beginning. Nonetheless, they ended up being best buddies who would talk about loads of stuff. Mainly, they compared their own circumstances with each other, hoping to find solace by knowing who had it worse.

“What is it?” Charles didn’t want to pick up Pierre’s call at all.

“I’m calling to see how you’re doing. From what I gather, you couldn’t see your baby’s fingers and face when you went for an ultrasound scan today. Here, look!” Pierre took out Selena’s ultrasound scan photo to show it off to Charles. “This is ours. How does it look? Doesn’t it look nice and clear?”
