Chapter 136

"Who are you?"

In the bright white office of the director of gynecology.

A middle-aged woman in glasses and white uniform looked at the medical examination report in her
hand and then turned to look at the man and woman sitting at the table.

To be precise, the doctor was glaring at Patrick and spoke ina rather harsh tone.

"Why haven't I seen you come with Miss Dickens before? What's your relationship?"

Christina was stunned.

Usually, she would be companied by a maid from the Hopkinses to the prenatal examination.

This was the first time Patrick came here, but why did she seem so angry and upset? She was a little
worried and glanced at the man next to her.

Fortunately, he didn't lose his temper.

"Husband and wife.I'm her husband." Patrick spoke coldly.

"Husband? You're her husband.Why didn't you show up until today? Where were you before?"

The gynecological doctor slapped the report on the table and was very unpleased with Patrick.

"We would think that Miss Dickens is a single mother if we didn't know better.Men are so irresponsible
and unreliable.." She gritted her teeth at the last words.

It seemed that she had a bad day today.

"What does her report say?" Patrick asked with a cold face.



The doctor gave him a disdainful look, ignored him, and turned to Christina.

"Miss Dickens, have you been having cramps in your legs in the middle of the night lately?"

Her tone was rather affectionate.

Christina was a little surprised that her attitude changed so fast.

Why did she give Patrick a hard time...

The man's face darkened slightly, but he did not argue with the doctor.

Instead, he asked in a low voice, "Cramps at night?"

"After taking calcium tablets, I feel much better now..."

Christina felt a little awkward.

"Really? Didn't you sleep together at night? She woke up in the middle of the night with cramps last
month all the time, but you didn't know this!"

The doctor looked angry and suddenly shouted, "How can you be her husband? Do you know how
hard it is for a woman when she is pregnant? You men only take the fun of sex and no responsibility for
anything after that!"

"Don't think that you can act like that just because you're handsome and rich.Women aren't as
powerless as they used to be.We can be financially independent, we can support ourselves, and we
don't need to be wronged anymore.Besides, your wife is so beautiful that she can dump you at any
time and find another one..."

Christina's eyes widened and she dragged Patrick out of the doctor's office and slammed the door shut.



She was still shocked, but fortunately, she left with him before he got mad...She was worried that
Patrick would lose his temper.

"I heard that this doctor recently divorced her husband.She's usually very friendly.She didn't mean to..."

She turned around and looked nervously at the man beside her.

Unexpectedly, Patrick was not angry after being scolded.

His face was calm as he looked down at her hand holding his tightly and pondered for a moment.

"Go home."

He simply said two words.

Christina did not say no and did not know how to refuse him, so she followed him out of the hospital.

It was as if the quarrel never happened before.

Both of them didn't mention it.

"Are you having a bad time being pregnant?"

Patrick drove over by himself today.

When she sat in the front passenger seat, he leaned over to buckle her seat belt with his slender
fingers.

Christina was a little nervous for some reason and did not answer immediately.

Looking at his profile, she found that his eyes were focused even though he was only trying to buckle
her seat belt.



Yes, no matter what this man did, he always did it with great focus.

Was he so serious about relationships too? It seemed so.

"Not feeling well?"

Patrick sat up straight, but when he saw that she did not speak, he asked again.

"No, no."

She turned her head to look at the car window, a little embarrassed.

"Actually, it's not as seriously as that doctor said.Pregnancy only gives me occasional vomiting,
cramps, bloated body, and unconscious feeling about myself.."

He stared at her and remained silent for a long time, but he did not say anything more.

Finally, he started the car and drove home.

Patrick looked straight ahead.

He was driving smoothly, but Christina still felt a little stiff.

Maybe she just wasn't used to being with him after the cold war.

Neither of them spoke along the way.

She looked at the busy street and the buildings through the car windows...

Suddenly, they came up to a building.



Christina immediately turned to the man beside her and said, "If you want to go to work, drop me off at
the front.I'll call the driver..."

"Today is Dragon Boat Festival."

His voice was very flat.

Patrick kept driving and did not intend to stop at all.

The car sped past the towering IP&G Group building.

"Is the company on holiday today?"

At ared light, he turned to look at her and casually said, "If you want your husband to work overtime,
fine, but no one will pay me for it."

Christina blushed because she forgot that the Dragon Boat Festival seemed to be a legal holiday.

"It seems that Crystal has to work overtime for the meeting with clients...You're always busy.I'm afraid
of getting in your way"

She murmured at the last sentence.

The red light quickly turned green.

Patrick looked away and drove on, expressionless.

Suddenly, he blurted out, "I own the company.I can take a day off if I want."

Christina was not sure of what he meant by that, but she smiled, and her mood was brighter for some
reason.



She could go to him whenever she wanted...
