S31 32. Is Kara Pregnant?
“Why do you want to go, Grandma? Let's stay here. The car is
overload.”
Diana's breathing immédiately rumbled. “What right do you have to stop me? If I
say I want to go, I have to go.”
Sophia was lost for words. She didn’t expect Diana to yell at her.
While smiling crookedly at Sophia, Jeremy pointed to the front passenger seat.
“Please come in, Grandma.”
Diana let out a faint breath. “Thank you.”
After closing the door, Jeremy stepped back. The twins waved from the rear side
window. When Jeremy was about to waved back, Philips stepped on the gas.
The car drove off, leaving Jeremy alone with Sophia.
“Are you upset?” Jeremy turned his head with a mocking look.
Sophia's lips trembled just like her clenched hands. “That is none of your
business!”
“Obviously that’s my business. You've just been dumped by my
grandmother. You must realize that your plan to ruin our family has
failed.”
Jeremy put his hands in his pockets then turned to face Sophia. “Now what? You
want to come up with a backup plan?”
Sophia growled. The red streaks in her eyes doubled. “Don’t mess with me. You
don’t know who I am.”
“In fact, I know who you are. Sophia Moore, the capable daughter of the Moore
family. She is known for her grace and generosity. But

looking at your current state, I doubt that you are really Sophia Moore. Are you
having an identity crisis?”
With a chuckle, Jeremy walked away. “Then that would be a shame. Your parents
would be disappointed if they found out.”
Sophia looked at Jeremy's back with shaking shoulders. Her lungs were too hot.
She would have squealed if there wasn’t anyone else on
the farm.
“Damn! How dare they look down on me?”
Gritting her teeth, Sophia shifted her gaze towards the road. The car carrying
Kara was no longer visible, but the look in her eyes seemed like she wanted to
stab her.
“And you Kara, don’t be happy yet. You have not won from me. A greedy woman
who only relies on luck like you won't last long. Just wait and see. Once you
wake up, people will stop siding with you.”

“How is it, Doc? How is my wife?” Frank asked as soon as the doctor
took off his stethoscope.
Kara quietly elbowed her husband. “Patience, Frank. Let the doctor think first.
You've already asked three times.”
“That's because I'm worried, Kara. I need to know your condition as soon as
possible.”
“I'm fine. The proof is that I'm awake, right?”
“But you fainted earlier.”
The doctor cleared his throat, asking for attention. “May I know when the first day
of your last menstruation was?”
While Kara answered, the twins were busy discussing together.

“What does it mean, Emily?”
“I don't know Louis.”
“But you're a woman. Only women experience it.”
“Yes, but I'm still young. Mommy said it would take a few more years for me to
menstruate.”
The doctor cleared his throat again. The twins bit their lips together.” Sorry. So
how is Mommy, Doc?”
“Is my wife pregnant?” Frank asked, holding Kara's hand tightly.
The doctor smiled slightly. “I suspect so. Fatigue, cold weather, pregnancy...
these all can cause someone to faint, especially since Mrs. Harper's blood
pressure is low. But we have to confirm this with an ultrasound. Nurse, please
register Mrs. Harper in the ultrasound
room.”
The twins’ eyes lit up. Their smiles were beautiful. “Mommy, Daddy, will we have
a younger sibling soon?”
With the same expression, Frank held his two children. “I hope so. Let's just wait
for the ultrasound results, hmm?"
“Okay!”
Then, the three people hugged. They were very enthusiastic about
accompanying Kara to the next examination room.

“How is it, Doc? Do we really have a younger sibling?” Louis
whispered as he watched what the doctor's hand was doing under the
covering.
“Patience, Louis. The Doctor is just getting started.”
Kara smiled at the chatter. “Emily is right. The doctor must find the

location of the baby first.”
“How does the doctor know that the baby has been found? Does the device
make sounds? Beep beep beep.”
The doctor pointed to the ultrasound screen. “From here. We can see
it later.”
Louis and Emily moved their positions near the monitor. They blinked at the
strange spots there.
“Are these the contents of Mommy's stomach? Where is the intestine? “Louis
tilted his head.
Frank and Kara burst into laughter, while the doctor snorted in
amusement.
“This is the uterus, an organ that only women have. It is located under
the intestines.”
The twins’ mouths rounded. “If there is a baby in there, will Mommy's intestines
push up?”
The doctor nodded.
“Does it hurt?” Emily frowned.
“It must feel very uncomfortable. Therefore, you have to love your mother. You
put pressure on her intestines and other organs whe you were in her womb.”
The twins pouted.
“Sorry if we made Mommy uncomfortable. I promise I won't be naughty or make
Mommy angry.”
“Me too. I will be a good boy, so Mommy's sacrifice was not in vain.”
Kara smiled slightly. “It's okay, Little Angel. I'm happy to have given birth to you.”
While the twins’ eyes were sparkling, Frank's gaze was dreamy. He remembered
that he wasn't there when Kara was pregnant with the twins. Imagining Kara
went through all that alone, his chest was getting tight.
“Oh, here itis!"
Frank's daydream was shattered. He blinked and found the twins already
jumping up and down near the screen.
“Where, Doctor? Where?"
The doctor pointed to the lump in the black space. In an instant, the twins were
stunned.
“Is this our little sibling?”
“How cute.... It's so small.” Emily pinched the air with her index finger and thumb,
about the size of the lump.
“But this is just one. Is there another baby, Doctor? We want twins like
us.”
The doctor shifted the tool in his hand and then returned to the lump. Sorry, just
one.”
The twins looked down languidly. However, after one breath, their shoulders rose
again.
“But it's okay. I'm not sad. I'm still happy that we have a younger
sibling,” Louis nodded firmly.
“Yes, Mommy's stomach won't be so full. Mommy won't suffer as
much.”
Kara smiled at the twins’ response. Then, glancing at Frank, gripped his hand
tighter.

“Congratulations. You will soon be a father of three adorable children.
Frank smiled and kissed her temple. “And you will be the proud mother of three
children.”
Hearing Frank's hoarse voice, the emotion in Kara's eyes thickened. However,
hearing Louis’ enthusiastic voice, her tears disappeared.
“Doctor, can you take a peek again? Our little sibling is a boy or a girl?”
The doctor chuckled. “Sorry, it's still too early to know the gender. But, there are
other things we can check now.”
“What?”
“Do you want to listen to the baby’s heartbeat?”
The twins’ eyes sparkled brighter. “l want! I want!”
Silently, Frank held his breath. He didn’t have time to hear the twins’ heartbeats
while they were still in the womb. Now, he got a golden opportunity. Of course he
didn’t want to miss any beats.
