Shane simply glared at him in silence while Natalie lowered her gaze in embarrassment.
That was the second time someone else had walked in on her being intimate with Shane, and the fact that she realized it made it a lot more awkward.
Silas then turned around and glanced at the caller ID before answering it, “Hello, Dr. Baker.”
“Where is Shane?” Jackson asked.
Silas took a peek at Shane behind him and said, “Mr. Shane is right here with me.”
“Could you pass him the phone? His phone seems to be switched off.”
Silas turned around and handed the phone over to Shane.
Instead of holding it to his ear, Shane put it on speaker and placed it on the coffee table in front of him. “Yes, what is it?”
Jackson leaned forward in his chair and asked curiously, “I heard Natalie’s pregnant. Is that true?”
Natalie stared at the phone. “How did you know?”
Jackson was surprised. “Ah, you’re here too?”
“Yup! Hello, Dr. Baker!” Natalie said with a chuckle.
“Hello, Natalie. So, is it true that you’re pregnant?” Jackson repeated his question.
Shane didn’t like her chatting with other men and cut them off, “Where did you hear that from?”
“Mrs. Wilson told me. She asked me to make the arrangements as you might be bringing her over for a prenatal checkup!” Jackson replied with a chuckle.
Natalie shot a glance at the kitchen. “Mrs. Wilson sure is thoughtful.”
Ignoring her comment, Shane said, “Make the arrangements, then. We’ll be heading over shortly.”
“All right!” Jackson nodded.
Shane sat down on one of the benches in the corridor and waited patiently.
While waiting, he saw a lot of pregnant women passing by, each with a gentle and motherly look on their faces.
Their bodies may not be in the best shape, but I find them most beautiful-looking when they’re pregnant. I bet Natalie would look incredibly beautiful too when her tummy gets bigger!
“Hey, Shane!” A woman’s gentle voice snapped him out of his train of thoughts.
He turned toward the direction of the voice and frowned when he saw Jacqueline, who was dressed in a hospital gown, walking to him. After a brief pause, Shane got up and helped her to the bench.
“What are you doing here? You shouldn’t be walking around like this in your current condition!” he asked in annoyance after sitting down beside her.
Jacqueline stuck her tongue out at him. “I heard from the nurses that you and Ms. Smith came over, so I thought I’d drop by and say hi. Shane, is Ms. Smith pregnant?”
There was a glint of jealousy and madness in her eyes as she stared at the sign outside the obstetrics and gynecology clinic.
