The coffee cup in Charles Smith’s hand shook violently, and he said:
"Didn’t you initially tell us it was a lie? How co she’s pregnant now?"
Harry Hall was too anxious at the mont to explain much to Charles Smith, so he just said:
"Dad, it’s just a suspicion. I’ll call the doctor over to check on Helen first."
With that, he bypassed Charles and headed downstairs, but Charles pulled him back, "Doctor Gresia lives in the East Wing, I’ll call him over."
"Alright, thanks, Dad."
Having said that, Harry turned around to find his wife again.
Charles Smith watched his son-in-law’s hurried figure with a smile, then quickly went back to his room to tell his wife.
Helen lendy saw Harry return just minutes after leaving, thinking he had changed his mind, but then Harry said:
"I ran into Dad at the stairs, he’s calling Doctor Gresia over."
Ten minutes later, Doctor Gresia arrived, accompanied by Charles Smith and his wife, as well as Edward Smith.
Seeing her parents and brother coming along, Helen lendy looked at Harry Hall sowhat helplessly.
Harry helplessly shrugged, "I didn’t call them over."
Helen’s mouth twitched.
The mont you tell your father-in-law about the pregnancy, it’s as good as the whole family knowing, isn’t it?
Why make such a fuss? It’d be so embarrassing if it turns out she’s not pregnant.
Evelyn Taylor, eager to have a grandchild, was the most anxious as she urged:
"Uncle Gresia, quickly check Helen, is she really pregnant?"
Doctor Gresia had been the private doctor of the Smith Family’s Old Master since he was young, well-versed in both Western and Chinese dicine.
After the Old Master passed away, Doctor Gresia remained with the Smiths, having no children of his own, and Charles Smith took care of him in his old age.
The whole family greatly respected him.
Doctor Gresia smiled warmly and stood by Helen lendy, skipping any other examination, and directly took her pulse.
Everyone held their breath, eyes fixed intently on Doctor Gresia. After a mont, he smiled at Charles and Evelyn and said:
"Charles, Evelyn, congratulations, you’re going to be grandparents."
Upon hearing the results from Doctor Gresia, the room plunged into a brief silence, soon breaking into joyful laughter.
"I’m really going to be a grandmother, haha, I’m going to be a grandmother..."
Compared to Evelyn Taylor, Charles and Edward Smith were more reserved in expressing their emotions, but their faces couldn’t hide their joy.
"However, Helen’s body is a bit weak, and the child is just over a month old now, which is quite an unstable period, so you have to be careful."
With that, he leaned close to Harry Hall’s ear and whispered:
"Restrain yourselves from intercourse, ideally for the first three months."
Even though he whispered to Harry, his voice was low enough that Helen, who was nearby, heard it, making her cheeks imdiately flush red.
Harry also showed a hint of embarrassnt, especially with his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law all present.
He awkwardly cleared his throat and said:
"I got it, Grandpa Gresia."
"Alright, alright, everyone out now, let the couple rest."
Doctor Gresia spoke up to dismiss the other three people from the room.
Evelyn Taylor was reluctant to leave, even wanting to chat with her daughter all night long.
But rembering Doctor Gresia’s advice for her daughter to rest well, she unwillingly took her leave.
