It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 179

The Spanish spring was not like the rainy spring in Strinas. The sun penetrated into the room every day through the gap in the curtains. Lucia seemed to have developed a habit. When the sun shone in the room, she opened the curtain and let the sun dance freely on the carpet in the room.

Lucia, who was pregnant with twins, had a larger belly than ordinary pregnant women. When she was six months pregnant, her figure was already comparable to that of a normal pregnant woman about to give birth. The doctor would regularly do a prenatal check-up on Lucia. Lucia was a cooperative pregnant woman. No matter how much she didn’t like the food, she would eat it mechanically. Right now, it seemed like Lucia and the twins were in pretty good health.

Over time, the castle servants and Lucia also formed a tacit understanding. When the curtain in Lucia’s room opened, the servants who were cleaning the lawn downstairs would notify the housekeeper as soon as they saw it. Then, Leila, who was specially responsible for everything related to Lucia, would appear in Lucia’s room and wait for her orders.

Lucia was the most easy-going master Leila had ever seen. She didn’t need help from others to do things that could be done on her own. Lucia had been pregnant for six months, but she was still able to do everything she could, such as getting a manicure, bathing, changing clothes, etc. The most important task for Leila was to keep an eye on Lucia and avoid any possible accidents.

“Madam, it’s breakfast today,” Leila said respectfully.

She took out a plate of hearty breakfast and placed it in front of Lucia. Lucia, who had already changed into loose casual clothes, sat quietly in front of the window. A trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes when she saw the breakfast served by Leila, but she still thanked Leila. Then she took the spoon and gradually ate all the food in front of her.

On the ground showed the shadow of a plump pregnant woman. At this moment, Lucia looked so calm and gentle. On the ground, Lucia’s shadow seemed distant and long. After finishing the last mouthful of food, Lucia stood up, while Leila quickly picked up the plate from the table and left.

As she stood up, Lucia felt a strong flutter in her stomach. She smiled weakly. She moved her hand a little, which was resting on her stomach. The place of beating went with his hand, as if the babies were saying hello to him. Sometimes Lucia couldn’t tell what naughty baby was playing with her belly. Maybe the two were together. Lucia couldn’t describe this feeling in words. Maybe only a mother could feel this way. The babies’ b***d and bones were compatible with his. They grew up peacefully in the warmest environment she offered them.

Earlier, Lucia didn’t feel much about her pregnancy. Except for her slightly larger belly than normal pregnant women, she always felt that she was a normal person. When she was about eighteen weeks pregnant, one night Lucia leaned quietly against the window and read a book. The feeling of fish swimming in her stomach made her frown slightly. This feeling was more and more evident. Sometimes it was like fish blowing bubbles, and sometimes it was like they were swimming happily.

It was only a few days later that Lucia realized it was a fetal movement. Since then, she has fallen in love with greeting the babies in her womb like this. Over time, babies became more energetic. These were no longer slight movements. Sometimes the heaviest force made Lucia frown.

“Madam.” Lucia’s voice rang out.

Lucia came to her senses from her meditation. Looking at Tandy, who had already approached her, she suddenly realized why he was there. Since becoming pregnant, Lucia has discovered that her memory is about to hit rock bottom. As long as she turned around, she would forget what she wanted to do earlier. It’s been a long time since she remembered it again.

So it was Tandy who kept the time of Lucia’s prenatal checkups in mind. There was a subtle change between them. It seemed Tandy had transferred her feelings for Lowell to him. His meticulous care made Lucia feel like Lowell was still by her side from time to time. But Lucia clearly knew that what Tandy cared about most were the two berries in her belly, which he thought were Lowell’s children.

Lucia wanted to explain, but before opening her mouth, she saw the expectation in his eyes and swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue. She couldn’t bear to break Tandy’s last hope. Just like when she ran out of the warehouse with all her faith, what kept her going was only Lowell and Kathryn’s hope for survival. So after a long time, Lucia really didn’t know how to explain everything. She sighed helplessly and looked at Tandy.

“Sorry, I forgot it again,” Lucia said to Tandy apologetically.

Today was Lucia’s twenty-sixth week of pregnancy. A normal pregnant woman began to undergo prenatal examinations every two weeks from the twenty-eighth week of pregnancy. But Lucia was pregnant with twins and had a tendency to miscarry early, so the doctor told Lucia to have routine prenatal checkups every two weeks starting at the twenty-fourth week.

“Please get in the car. The doctor is waiting for you.” Tandy nodded slightly and opened the car door for Lucia.

The car sped through the streets of Madrid. The shops on the street were still closed. The Europeans led a quiet life. The shops n They wouldn’t open until ten in the morning. Lucia couldn’t help but think of the last conversation between her and Lowell. If they could leave, they would live such a life. In that short time, everything had changed. At this thought, Lucia’s eyes darkened and lowered slightly.

After a while, the car stopped in front of the gate of a private hospital in Madrid. The nurse was already waiting at the door. Lucia came out from the car. The nurse kindly helped her to the examination room affiliated with the doctor’s office. Lucia nodded slightly to express her thanks and lay down on the examination table with the help of the nurse. Once Lucia was ready, the doctor came to Lucia and began a routine examination.

“Madam, babies’ heartbeats are full of vitality. All your index fingers are within the standard range. After the twenty-eighth week, you will enter the late stage of pregnancy. You should pay more attention to fetal movements babies. It’s hard being pregnant with twins. Your sleep will be affected. If you feel uncomfortable, come to the hospital immediately.” The doctor dutifully told Lucia all the details.

“Thank you,” Lucia nodded and said softly.

She gently stroked his stomach. After a series of tests, the babies seemed more agitated. They kicked Lucia’s stomach hard, causing Lucia to frown slightly. Then she quickly smiled and touched the fetal movement position.

The doctor looked at the scene before him with a smile in his eyes. When was a woman the most beautiful? It was definitely not in her prime, nor when she reached adulthood, nor when she was just married. It was the maternal nature that erupted most instinctively when she was pregnant.

“Ma’am, next we will have a color ultrasound scheduled for the twenty-sixth week to confirm the babies’ growth,” the doctor explained dutifully to Lucia.

Lucia nodded and cooperated with the doctor. Her clothes were pulled up to her chest and her stomach was exposed. With the coupling agent, the ultrasound probe B wandered up and down Lucia’s stomach. The doctor adjusted the computer screen to the best position so that Lucia could clearly see what the babies were doing.

“It’s a hand, it’s a foot…” the doctor explained to Lucia.

Watching the scene on the screen, Lucia gradually thought about the appearances of the babies. Sometimes Lucia sighed at the magic of life. When she gradually carried two new lives and accompanied them in their growth, this kind of feeling always brought the deepest touch to her heart.

With today’s advanced technology, Lucia didn’t need the doctor’s explanation, but she could clearly see the babies’ features and limbs on the screen. The blurred image made Lucia have countless fantasies. For the first time, she wanted to know the s*x of the babies.

“Madam, look, this little guy is pulling the umbilical cord from the front badly to prevent us from looking at him,” the doctor said to Lucia with a smile, pointing to the screen which suddenly no longer displayed any images.

Lucia stared at the screen, lost in thought. Sometimes babies sucked their fingers; sometimes they lifted their feet; and sometimes they swirled around the umbilical cord. When they were naughty, they hid deep inside Lucia’s belly and showed their butts on screen. From time to time, a sneer appeared on their faces. Unconsciously, Lucia reached out her hand, but soon she smiled. The babies were still in her womb, and what was shown on the screen were only the images.

“Can I know their gender?” » Lucia suddenly asked the doctor.

“Of course,” the doctor said with a smile.

A pregnant woman was always curious to know the s*x of her baby. The doctor took the probe and carefully searched for the position of the babies’ reproductive organs, looking carefully on the screen. After a long moment, he turned to Lucia and smiled even more happily.

“Congratulations! They are a pair of pigeons. A boy and a girl. This kind of luck is really small. Madam, you are so lucky.”

Lucia couldn’t hide her smile. The doctor continued to check the index fingers of both babies. Half an hour later, after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he printed out a B-ultrasound report and handed the color ultrasound images he had just taken to Lucia. The boy and the girl were carefully labeled, to make it easier for Lucia to understand.

“Thank you,” Lucia looked at the photos and said with a smile.

“This is what I have to do, ma’am. The next prenatal checkup would be when you are twenty-eight weeks pregnant. If you feel uncomfortable before that, please inform us in time,” said the doctor conscientiously.

The nurse quickly approached Lucia and helped her off the high examination table. Once Lucia adjusted to the feeling of her feet touching the floor, the nurse took her out of the room. Tandy had waited outside dutifully, without going out.

“Madam.” Seeing Lucia coming out, Tandy quickly walked towards her.

He took Lucia out of the hospital. The driver had already parked the car in front of the gate and was waiting for Lucia. Tandy opened the car door for Lucia. After confirming that Lucia was indeed seated, he informed the driver to return to the castle.

“Tandy, I want to buy some books in a bookstore,” Lucia said suddenly.

“All right.” Although Tandy was a little surprised, he still obeyed Lucia.

This was the first time Lucia had been willing to voluntarily leave the castle in recent months. This wasn’t a bad thing for Tandy. It was better for a pregnant woman to take a walk than to stay in one place for a long time. No matter how long it lasted, the sadness might not fade, but the living had to continue living. Tandy was delighted to see Lucia like this.

Outside a bookstore in downtown Madrid, Tandy signaled the driver to stop the car and opened the door for Lucia. Tandy knew that Lucia didn’t like people intruding on her privacy, so he always kept his distance from her in silence. However, such a distance was within his reach and any danger could be under his control. Tandy wouldn’t allow an accident to happen to Lucia.

In the bookstore, Lucia casually flipped through books about mother and baby, chose books she liked, and put them in a cart. A saleswoman next to her saw that Lucia was pregnant, so she took the initiative to help her push the cart. Lucia smiled slightly to show her gratitude. After selecting the books, Lucia followed the saleswoman to the counter.

“The Evans Group is entering the European market globally. » Under the huge headline was a photo of Malcolm. Lucia’s heart sank slightly. Looking at the familiar face, she stopped in her tracks. The explosion back then had been burned into Lucia’s mind. Images of Lowell and Kathryn appeared alternately in his mind. Soon, the pain on her chest made her frown slightly, and her originally ruddy face instantly turned pale.

She quickly withdrew her hand as if she had touched a frightening nightmare. Seeing the confusion on the saleswoman’s face, she just smiled slightly and quickly followed her to the counter. At the door, when Tandy saw Lucia, he appeared at the counter, took out a card to pay the bill, and then helped Lucia carry a large bag of books. He walked out with her to the car parked on the side of the road.

” Madam ? » He looked at Lucia, whose face was pale, with concern.

What did Lucia see just now? How could his ruddy face turn pale in the blink of an eye? He returned to the bookstore following Lucia’s original view and saw Malcolm’s photo unexpectedly. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, then he quickly left the bookstore.

Lucia didn’t ask why he went back to the bookstore. She just waited for him quietly in the car. After Tandy got into the car, the driver drove steadily through the streets of Madrid towards the castle.

Malcolm had been quiet before, but he seemed to change his style overnight. He did not refuse to allow journalists to be photographed or interviewed, but on the principle that they did not achieve his objectives. The name Lucia had become a taboo for Malcolm. No one could easily say that name in front of him. After feeling Malcolm’s change, the reporters were both happy and terrified. Anyone who was too moody was not easy to deal with. Journalists feared they would easily anger him and blow themselves to pieces.

They had become taboos for each other, which could no longer be touched. If one day, when they couldn’t escape and had to face it, maybe this kind of pain in the heart would let them go through purgatory again.
