Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1234: Dianna Hollis Is Pregnant Again!
He must also be watching her.
Dianna’s heart raced suddenly, as the jeep brushed past her and then sped away.
He was gone.
He had left.
Dianna lowered her long, butterfly-like eyelashes, wishing she could talk to him.
She wanted to tell him how happy she was.
She wanted to take a good look at him, to see him in a military uniform for the first time.
Earlier, when he was on stage and she was in the crowd, she couldn’t see clearly.
She had been anticipating this day, for him to wear the military uniform, but it was different from what she imagined, if... if she could personally help him put on the uniform, it would be even better.
She wanted to touch the badge on his shoulder, to feel his handsome cheek, to say to him, "Mort Thorne, you’re amazing, you’re my pride."
But she couldn’t do anything.
Then Dianna’s eyes darkened and she fainted.
"Hey, little girl!"
...
Dianna slowly opened her eyes and realized she was in a hospital ward.
What happened to her?
Why did she faint for no reason?
Dianna moved, attempting to get up, when the doctor walked in, "Miss, please lie down, you need to rest well now."
"Doctor, what’s wrong with me?"
"Miss, congratulations, you’re pregnant." The doctor handed a pregnancy test sheet to Dianna.
You’re pregnant.
Dianna’s mind went blank, literally frozen.
What did the doctor just say?
She was pregnant?
Dianna lowered her eyes to look at the test sheet in her hands, confirming that she was indeed pregnant.
She was actually pregnant?
Mort wanted children, during those times together, they didn’t use any protection.
But... it was too fast!
She hadn’t even told Mort about Dotty’s existence, and now she was already pregnant with a second child.
Though she was prepared for a second child, Mort had always been alone, with only his sister left, and his parents were gone. She wanted to give him two children to keep things lively.
But, it really was too quick.
Dianna was caught completely off guard.
She reached out her fair small hand to touch her flat abdomen, was it really nurturing his child once again?
"Doctor, my baby..."
Seeing Dianna’s nervous demeanor, the doctor smiled and waved a hand, "Miss, don’t worry, you’ve just conceived for about three weeks, all the indicators are good, both you and the baby are fine."
Dianna quickly curved her red lips into a smile, "Really?"
"Really, there’s no doubt about it! Miss, you’re young and healthy, it’s very favorable for childbirth. During the early pregnancy, rest more, increase nutrition, remember not to have intercourse for the first three months, and come for regular checkups, then there will be no issues," the doctor said with a kindly smile. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Dianna’s heart blossomed with excitement and joy, her long lashes fluttered like butterflies’ wings.
She was pregnant.
She was pregnant again!
Her first born was little Anan, maybe this time, in her belly, there was already a little Mort.
Destiny had its arrangements; today, Mort was soaring high, while she was nurturing his child.
The hardships of the past would now be compensated with blessings and fulfillment.
He had.
Everything others had, he had too.
Thinking back, these years they had been apart more often than together, yet every time they were together she easily conceived, one wonders if it was her prowess or his.
Dianna found herself crying and laughing, her small hand gently caressing her belly, her white eyelids turning red with gratitude once more for the new life; even with Mort far away, she no longer felt alone.
Because she had Dotty, and now a little Mort too.
...
Dianna had not shared her pregnancy news with anyone, as it was still early days, and the old commander remained unconscious; she was cautious by nature and intended to protect little Mort well.
Dianna arrived at the villa and heard Dotty’s grandmother’s sweet laugh as soon as she stepped into the living room, discovering Jodie Young playing games with Dotty.
For the past three years, Jodie had poured all her time into Dotty; Dianna could tell Jodie loved Dotty dearly. Growing up with her father was Jodie’s regret, which she now compensated by showering Dotty with love and presence.
"Mommy~" Dotty quickly spotted Dianna and ran over with her little legs.
Dianna squatted down, arms wide open.
Little Dotty charged into her embrace.
Dianna hugged Dotty tightly, giving her cheeks a couple of strong kisses; Dotty came into her life during darkest and most desperate times, and without Dotty, she might not have survived.
She truly, deeply loved Dotty.
"Dotty, did you miss Mommy, Mommy missed you sooo much."
"Mommy, Dotty missed you too," Dotty responded sweetly.
Watching the loving pair, Jodie chuckled, "Dotty, didn’t you prepare a gift for Mommy? Go and give it to her."
With that reminder, Dotty quickly said, "My gift is upstairs, I’ll go get it now."
Dotty ran upstairs.
Dianna stood up, "Mom."
Jodie pulled her daughter aside for a serious, quiet chat, "Dianna, how are things with Mort Thorne now?"
As Jodie had sent Dotty away, Dianna knew she would ask about this, "Mom, we’re doing well, really."
"Dianna, are you still trying to deceive me? You think I didn’t know about your sham marriage with Raymond Alden? Recently, Mort was inaugurated as new chief, it’s all over the news, but I haven’t noticed any movement from your side. Dotty is Mort’s daughter, you’ve followed him without status, is he not taking responsibility for you?"
Dianna felt deeply moved; she knew her mother had accepted Mort from the time she attempted to take her life at Mort’s grave three years ago when Dotty was born, Jodie had conceded.
In the battle between parents and children, no parent emerges victorious.
Now that Mort had risen in rank, Jodie was naturally delighted, but couldn’t help feeling anxious at the prolonged wait for news and the delayed recognition between father and daughter.
Certain things were inconvenient for Dianna to disclose, so she comforted her mother, "Mom, it’s not like that, you’re misunderstanding, Mort and I are really fine, you’ve seen, he just started his role and he’s undoubtedly busy, it’s enough that I wait for him."
It’s enough that I wait for him.
These words twisted Jodie’s heart, recalling how Dianna had been with Mort since she was 19, her best youthful years spent in waiting, only she knew how hard those years had been for Dianna.
"Dianna, I’m not a three-year-old child, don’t brush me off, Mort’s different now, who knows what he’s thinking, I’m going to find him, at least Dotty being his daughter is undeniable, if he ever deserts you, I’ll sue him!"
