Chapter 1042 Will It Work?
Bonnie pursed her lips tightly, slightly embarrassed as she asked, “Will it… work?”
“Why not? She’ll be excited to accompany you to the hospital once she knows you’re pregnant,”
Joshua said, thinking it was a brilliant idea.
Bonnie felt that this could consider as a white lie that must be made for Dolores’ health and agreed to
it, “I’ll talk to her right now.”
Just as she was about to go downstairs, Joshua called her out, “I’ll go and tell her. You can go back
and wait in the room first.”
Joshua gave it some thought and felt that Bonnie wasn’t in a great place to speak about that. He would
be the best person to deliver the message instead.
Bonnie listened to him and went back to their room, waiting for Joshua to return.
On the other hand, Dolores was downstairs, preparing to leave the house. Joshua came over and held
her hand, “Mom.”
“Yeah?” She turned back to look at her son, “You have something to tell me?”
Joshua nodded his head vigorously, then leaned into her ear and whispered, “Bonnie said that she was
sick and would feel like vomiting from time to time. I wanted to bring her to her hospital for a check-up,
but she was unwilling to listen to me. Could you try to persuade her and accompany her to the
hospital?”
Dolores understood the situation almost instantly and thought to herself that Bonnie might be pregnant.
She said to Joshua, “I’ll go and take a look at her.“
She ascended upstairs with Joshua following behind her.
Matthew, who was reading a financial magazine in the living room, glanced up. There was a hint of
unknown shine in his eyes, which turned into returned to its usual calmness as he continued to read.
Upstairs, Dolores pushed the door open and walked towards Bonnie, “Bonnie, are you not feeling well
anywhere?”
“I…” It was Bonnie’s first time lying to her elders. She was uncomfortable about it, slightly nervous as
she stuttered, “I… I…”
“I heard from Joshua that you’re feeling nauseous. When did it start?” Dolores asked.
Bonnie glanced at Joshua, “It… It has been a few days.”
“Then we should get you checked-up at the hospital,” Dolores said, then turned to her son,
“Accompany Bonnie to the hospital.”
“I told her that, but she doesn’t want to go. Why don’t you accompany her instead?” Joshua looked
distressed, “Mom, I’m a man. It’s weird for me to accompany her to the gynecologist.”
Dolores didn’t hesitate and said, “Sure, I’ll accompany her.”
Joshua picked up his car keys, “I’ll drive the both of you there.”
“Bonnie, let’s go.”
Bonnie followed Dolores downstairs. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Joshua, with keys dangling in his hand, looked towards the living room, “Dad, we’re going out for a
while.”
Matthew pretended to know nothing and asked, “Where to?”
“Bonnie’s not feeling well. We’re going to the doctors,” Joshua answered.
The father-son duo met gazes, and as if planned, both did not continue the conversation.
“We’re leaving now.” Joshua opened the door.
He only got a wave from Matthew before he continued to read his magazine.
Dolores did not look towards Matthew and left right away.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the hospital.
After they registered, they waited for a moment before entering the doctor’s office. Bonnie was
embarrassed to speak. Joshua did all the talking instead, “She feels like puking.”
“You are?” The doctor asked Joshua.
“Her husband,” Joshua replied.
The doctor nodded, then gave Joshua forms for B-ultrasound and some other check-ups. While waiting
for Bonnie’s check-ups, Joshua slid into the seat next to Dolores, “Mom, when was the last time you
had a full-body check-up? Why don’t you go for one today?”
The purpose of this trip to the hospital today was to have Dolores get a comprehensive check-up.
Dolores frowned, “My check-ups are annual. It’s not time for it yet this year.”
“We’re here anyway, might as well.” Joshua continued, “Mom, just do it.”
“He’s right, Mom. I’ll be fine here by myself. Both you and Joshua should go for a check-up.” Bonnie
tried to help Joshua.
“I’m fine. All my past results for the check-ups showed that I’m healthy.” Dolores was still unwilling to go
for a check-up. To her, she was here to accompany her daughter-in-law. Why should she go for a
check-up out of the blue?
“Mom…” Joshua tried to persuade Dolores again, “Your eldest son isn’t married yet, so you need to
stay healthy and wait for the day he gets married. Although I’m already married to Bonnie, she could be
pregnant. You need to be healthy to take care of our child, right?”
