Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1249

"Just you wait. When we see him again next year, Sean will definitely look even cooler and more dashing than he does now!"

At that moment, the cruelty of fate had not yet fully revealed its claws.

Nina's words touched Diana, who surprisingly felt a sense of hope for the future.

"Patient number 54, are you ready? If so, please come for your checkup," a doctor's voice called through the door.

Diana glanced at the number on her slip, and quickly stood up. "I'm coming."

This was the ultrasound examination, and it was crowded today. After a long wait, Diana excitedly rose to her feet. Supporting her belly with her hands, she made her way toward the examination room as she carefully avoided the people.

"Is your bladder full? Do you feel like you have to go soon?"

"Yes," Diana replied to the doctor as she lay down on the examination table.

"Is this your first pregnancy?"

"No."

"Do you know you're expecting twins?"

"Yes."

Diana and the doctor continued their exchange.

"Doctor, my previous pregnancy was fraternal twins, so do I need to buy new clothes for the children this time?"

This was a discreet way of asking about the gender of the twins.

It sounded so simple that she thought raising children and going through pregnancy were more challenging than giving birth.

After hearing Diana's description, she suddenly had a new appreciation for it. Thinking about if her stomach was the one cut open with blood everywhere made her legs go weak.

The thought that Diana had experienced this pain once before made her even more uncomfortable.

At that time...

She wasn't by Diana's side.

Julian wasn't there, either. Even though Diana had no memory of it at the time and didn't know she had a husband and a best friend, giving birth alone was definitely not easy.

"It seems that throughout history, regardless of advances in medicine, women giving birth is pretty much like passing through the gates of the underworld."
