Chapter 493: Chapter 493: I Think I Miss You
What?
She’s pregnant with twins?
Serena Sterling sat up abruptly, "Really? Let me see."
She often checks her own pulse, and her pregnancy pulse has been strong from the start, but she never suspected it might be twins.
"Miss Sterling, look, here are two placentas, fraternal twins. Listen to the babies’ heartbeats, both are good, the babies are very healthy."
Serena saw the two placentas, two tiny things. It was true, she was really pregnant with twins.
There weren’t just one baby in her belly, but two.
Serena felt overjoyed. She never dared to imagine this, and both babies were developing well and were very healthy.
Serena lay back down. Her eyes were gleaming with excitement, "Seth, did you hear? I’m pregnant with twins!"
Serena couldn’t wait to share this good news with Seth Sullivan beside her. Her heart was overflowing with joy, and she had to share it with someone.
This was absolutely the happiest moment for Serena in a long time. Seth looked at her, and the light in her eyes ignited her whole being, making her exceptionally vibrant, "Serena, congratulations."
At this time, the doctor smiled and said, "Miss Sterling, carrying twins is very demanding. With your current health, nurturing one child is already quite a burden. Now with two children competing for nutrients, you must eat more. Belief is our greatest motivation to persevere, keep it up."
Serena nodded vigorously, "I will."
She was definitely going to persevere.
Actually, Serena has been having severe morning sickness recently, with no appetite, unable to eat anything, so she has lost some weight.
But she decided from now on, even if she couldn’t eat, she would force herself to eat. She must bring these two babies safely into the world.
The ultrasound examination ended successfully, and Serena got up from the bed, preparing to leave.
At that moment, the ultrasound was turned off, turning the screen black. Serena looked up and happened to see herself in the black screen glass.
This was the first time she had seen herself in this period.
Serena’s clear pupils suddenly contracted, and she was momentarily frozen in place.
She used to be a beautiful 20-year-old girl, with exquisite features, but now she looked old, her face covered with wrinkles, looking like a 60-year-old woman at first glance.
The key was, she saw a patch of... white on her head.
She finally understood why the maid looked at her with such horror in the morning, and why Seth gave her a headband to tie her hair, because... her hair was all white!
Her silky, smooth black hair turned completely white overnight.
Serena knew she was getting old, but she insisted not to cut her hair, as her long black hair was all she had left, her final insistence.
This was what Hayden Crawford liked, and she had always kept it for him.
But now, even that little bit of what she had left was gone.
With a "snap," Serena heard the sound of her heart breaking, her last straw completely crushed by her head of white hair.
Seth brought her shoes over, and at that moment saw Serena staring at the screen in a daze. He quickly went over and blocked the screen with his tall, jade-like figure, "Serena, put on your shoes, we need to go back and rest. You have two children in your belly now, you must work hard for the children."
At the mention of the children, Serena lowered her long lashes, covering all the emotions in her eyes. She lightly curved her lips, "I know."
...
Serena still didn’t have an appetite, growing even less so, but for the sake of the two babies, she forced herself to start eating.
Seth handed her a piece of sweet and sour rib, "Serena, eat some meat."
"Okay." Serena obediently ate the rib.
Seth then poured her a bowl of fish soup, "Serena, drink the fish soup. They say children who like to eat fish are very smart."
"Okay." Serena drank the bowl of fish soup again.
During this period, Serena couldn’t stand anything oily or fishy, but today she ate, and even finished a bowl of rice. By the time she put down the bowl and chopsticks, her stomach had become round.
The cook laughed, "Palace Master, Miss Sterling has a good appetite today and started eating. This is a good sign, more nutrition is good for both mother and child."
Seth nodded and looked at Serena, "Serena, you must continue to eat well like this."
"I will. I’m full now, I’ll go upstairs first." Serena got up and left the dining room, going upstairs.
She quickly ran into the bathroom after opening her bedroom door, and could no longer hold it back, hugging the toilet and throwing up violently.
She vomited everything she had eaten, so much that she was dizzy.
Seth came to the door to go in and heard the sound of retching inside. He paused and didn’t go in.
He knew she was very bad right now. All her resilience and courage crumbled instantly when she saw her white hair.
Now she showed her inner softness and vulnerability, but he couldn’t comfort her.
She didn’t need his comfort.
Because he wasn’t the person she wanted.
And he could never replace the person in her heart.
After Serena finished throwing up, she slowly came out an hour later. Her face was pale as a sheet of paper, devoid of any blood.
She started rummaging through the room looking for something.
"Serena, what are you looking for?" Seth asked softly.
Serena didn’t look up, searching intently, "I’m looking for my phone. I haven’t used it since I came here. I remember I put it here, but it’s gone."
"Is it this one?"
Serena looked up, and there in Seth’s palm was her phone.
"Thank you. I want to make a call." Serena took the phone and sat on the woolen carpet by the bed, dialing a number.
Seth didn’t leave, but quietly watched her small, curled-up figure, one hand hugging her knee, head resting on it, the other hand holding the phone to her ear.
He heard her voice, speaking to the person on the other end, sounding very gentle,
Hello, Hayden Crawford, it’s me.
Hayden Crawford, I want to tell you some good news. Today I had an ultrasound, and the doctor said I’m having twins. Isn’t it surprising? We suddenly have two babies. Hayden Crawford, you’re going to be a dad.
Hayden Crawford, how have you been lately? I... I’m fine, I’ve been eating well and sleeping well. Today, I even ate a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup, turning myself into a ball.
Hayden Crawford, don’t worry about me. I’m a miracle healer, surely this aging won’t defeat me. The children and I are doing well here, except... I think... I miss you.
