Emmeline listened carefully to Dorisâ pulse and couldnât stop laughing.
Doris, upon seeing her reaction, knew it must be a positive. âEmma, am I really pregnant?â
âI canât discern from the pulse.â Emmeline chuckled. âNo, I have to call Waylon, have him come and listen carefully.â
âWhat?â Doris blushed and felt anxious. âYou want Waylon to come too?â
âYes.â Emmeline replied. âI couldnât figure it out from the pulse, so I want him to help me listen.â
âYouâre doing this on purpose!â Doris playfully hit her. âYouâre a Wonder Doctor. As if you canât read pulse!â
âDonât bother yourself with it. Just sit there and have some coffee and snacks.â Emmeline giggled giddily, taking out her phone to call her big brother. âWaylon, where are you?â
âMiss me, little troublemaker? Why have you suddenly called?â Waylon responded.
âI do miss you.â Emmeline smiled. âI encountered a medical puzzle, and I need your help to solve it.â
You have a medical puzzle?â Waylon sounded skeptical. âYouâre a chip off the old block!â
âWill you come or not?â Emmeline said. âI genuinely need your help.â
âAlright then.â Waylon agreed. âOnly you and Doris can get me to go to you with just one phone call.
Others need not apply!â
âIâll be waiting for you. Make it quick, okay?â
âOkay, got it,â Waylon said, then hung up. He cherished this little sister from the bottom of his heart, so if she needed him, heâd come running.
Doris blushed even further, her face hidden in her hands. âYou mischievous girl!â
It took just over half an hour for Waylon to arrive.
Upon entering, he didnât see Emmeline and Doris.
A waiter informed him, âMs. Emmeline and Ms. Doris went upstairs. Ms. Doris isnât feeling well.â
Hearing that Doris wasnât feeling well, Waylon became concerned and hurriedly headed to the third floor. to find the door slightly ajar. He walked in without hesitation and saw Emmeline and Doris sitting on the sofa.
Glancing at both of them, it seemed like the two women were perfectly fine. But Waylon remembered.
what the waiter had said earlier, so he asked Doris, âAre you feeling unwell?â
Before Doris could respond, Emmeline, with a serious expression, said, âWaylon, youâre miraculous doctor. You should know if Doris is really unwell with just a check of her pulse, no?â
âEmma!â Doris pouted. âCut it out!â
âNo,â Emmeline said earnestly, âLet Waylon check your pulse quickly, lest anything bad comes up.â
Doris picked up Emmelineâs implication, and her checks blushed.
Waylon became even more puzzled. He sat beside Doris and reached out to check her pulse.
Doris drooped her long eyelashes, completely still.
Waylon furrowed his brows, carefully examining her pulse. Suddenly, his expression brightened-it was a joyful pulse! Doris was pregnant!
Waylon was both surprised and delighted. He lifted Doris up in his arms and exclaimed, âDoris, youâre pregnant! Weâll soon be expecting Three, Four, and even Five and Six!â
Emmeline laughed in response. âCanât you come up with better nicknames, Waylon?! Three, Four, and even Five and Six?â
âI donât see a problem with the names,â Waylon argued. And said the girl who named her babies Sun, Moon, and Star.â
âAt least they were inspired by the sun, moon, and stars, Emmeline replied. âItâs better than your Three, Four, Five, and Six!â
âWell, thatâs on Doris.â Waylon looked at Doris affectionately. âShe named the twins by number, and I couldnât bear to change them, so I followed suit!â
âYou guys are really something!â Emmeline told Waylon. âAnyway, youâve checked Dorisâ pulse. Be gentle with her from now on!â
Both Waylon and Doris looked somewhat embarrassed. Fortunately, Emmeline identified the joyful pulse for Doris. Otherwise, little Three, Four, Five, and Six might be a goner if Waylon manhandled her at home that night.
While the three were chatting, they heard Samâs voice from downstairs. âMs. Emmeline, Iâm back!â
Emmeline had just come downstairs when Sam swiftly approached. Following behind her was Luca, dressed in casual black attire, looking tall, strong, and exceptionally handsome, emitting a strong aura of masculinity.
Emmeline was happy for Sam. The young woman had truly made a wise choice by being with Luca.
Luca was a talented individual with impressive martial skills. Moreover, over the years, he had been by Abelâs side, accumulating wealth and assets, making him wealthier than most scions of the rich and powerful.
