Lenny and Scarlett

Chapter 17



Chapter 17

"I... I'm suffering from a menstrual disorder, okay? I always feel cold in my hands and feet. And... I also

have mammary gland proliferation. My breasts swell and become painful every month, so I came here

for a comprehensive examination. Are you satisfied now?

Can you... Can you please not look at my exam results?"

Scarlet's eyes were slightly red, and she was so nervous that she had begun breaking out in cold

sweat.

Lenny felt his heart racing when he looked into her soft and clear eyes. Hearing her pleas, he didn't

have the heart to go against her will.

"Why didn't you just tell me the first time I asked?"

"It's not exactly something you share openly. It's about my breasts. And my monthly cycle. You're a

man. Unless you're a doctor, you shouldn't be discussing such things with women."

Scarlet stammered because of her guilty conscience, but Lenny thought she was just being shy.

What Scarlet said made sense. It was indeed embarrassing to talk to men about womanly afflictions,

even to an ex-husband.

Lenny cleared his throat to relieve some of his embarrassment. His face was calm, but with her sharp

eyes, Scarlet noticed that his ears had turned red.

"Now... Can you give the envelope back to me? There are ultrasound pictures of my breasts in it. I don't

want you to see them and..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Lenny was already putting the envelope in her hand.

The moment she got it back, she was finally relieved. She quickly hid the envelope behind her, afraid

that he would take it away again.

Just then, a voice came from the door of a doctor's office. "Lenny."

Scarlet turned her head and saw Rosaline who looked weak and frail.

Rosaline was very beautiful, but she appeared sickly, so instead of people admiring her beauty, they

pitied her for looking fragile.

Her voice was gentle and tender.

Hearing Rosaline call to him, Lenny strode over. At the same time, Rosaline also walked toward him.

She missed a step, tripped, and started falling forward, but Lenny caught her in his arms in time.

He grabbed Rosaline around the waist and propped her up. She desperately held onto him.

"What are you doing out? Is your examination finished?" he asked.

"Yes. Our baby is very healthy. The doctor said that we could come back in a few weeks, get an

ultrasound, and see what our child looks like. I hope our baby takes after you." This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Rosaline touched her belly and flashed Lenny a gentle smile.

An indescribable feeling rose in his heart when he heard her words. He was going to be a father.

Before learning that Rosaline was pregnant, he had never thought of having his own child. Even when

he and Scarlet got married, building his own family never crossed his mind. But now, it was about to

happen.

Suddenly, he felt an odd but comforting mix of fear and excitement. Being a father could be

challenging. But at the same time, it could also be fulfilling. Lenny felt like he had no reason to fear the

future because he wouldn't be alone. He would have his child, his own flesh and blood.

He raised his hand and rested it on Rosaline's stomach.

Seeing this scene, Scarlet suddenly felt like a throwing knife landed right in the center of her heart.

Lenny... He was also the father of her baby. But she had to hide her pregnancy from him.

For a moment, she felt uncomfortable. She turned around and started walking away, but Rosaline

called after her.

"Miss Brown."

Hearing this, Scarlet stopped in her tracks and looked at Rosaline in confusion.

What did Rosaline want from her?

"I'm really sorry for what happened last time. The garden shears slipped through my fingers, and I

accidentally stabbed myself. I was in a coma and couldn't explain and apologize to you. Lenny

probably misunderstood the whole situation. You even hurt yourself to prove your innocence.

I just want to clear up the misunderstanding. I sincerely apologize. If anything bad really happened to

you, I never would've forgiven myself."

After saying that, Rosaline bowed to Scarlet.

Her gesture startled Scarlet. She was about to respond to Rosaline's apology. But Lenny intervened

and stopped Rosaline's humble gesture.
