Felicity and Stella were left speechless by Garrett's assumption.

Vermont felt embarrassed. "Enough with the jokes. She's just a friend."

Drawing Felicity closer, he clarified, "And this is my girlfriend. The one here for a check-up is her best friend."

Felicity shoved him away, saying, "I'm not your girlfriend! Don't talk nonsense!"

Garrett felt surprised that Vermont had a girlfriend. But as a doctor, he focused on the main thing. "Everything's

ready. Dr. Lyle will guide you today."

Stella nodded thankfully and left the room with the doctor. Worried about Stella, Felicity went along.

After they left, Garrett turned to Vermont and asked, "When did you get a girlfriend? Why didn't Mom and Dad tell

me? They even wanted me to introduce you to my colleague some time ago."

Vermont leaned against the windowsill, saying casually, "If I told them, they'd dig deep into her family's history. It'd

seem like a political background check."

Garrett chuckled. "You're their top kid. They'd want someone from a similar background for you."

Vermont scoffed, "Why bother with kids when they don't

care about their own? Funny."

Garrett didn't delve further into the topic. Despite not being particularly close, they had shared similar experiences.

At least Vermont got to grow up in the countryside and was loved by their grandfather.

The difference between having parents around during childhood and not was big. It was considered fortunate that

those with absent parents still managed to develop into well- adjusted adults.

"Just a few days back, your sister-in-law wondered why you haven't been visiting much lately. She found out you're

seeing someone," Garrett said, smiling. "This is the first time you've introduced your girlfriend to me. I only read

about it in the news before."

Vermont chuckled. "Well, I didn't want to marry the ones before."

Surprised, Garrett asked, "Are you saying you want to marry her?"

Vermont sighed. "I do, but she might not be ready for that yet. But I'm trying."

Garrett was surprised to hear that. "Tsk. I knew this day would come. How come you look happy even though she

isn't sure of you yet?"

"Well, seeing her makes me happy," Vermont said with a smile.

Garrett smiled back and did not say anything else.

Meanwhile, Stella had done a urine test.

"When can we see the results?" Felicity asked the doctor.

"It will be out shortly," the doctor assured.

Then, Stella was asked to lie on the bed and lift her clothes while the doctor applied ultrasound gel to her stomach.

"The ultrasound might not show anything if you're still early into the pregnancy. But I'll take a look since you're

friends with Dr. Snyder. If nothing shows, wait another two weeks and come back."

Stella nodded in acknowledgment.

After applying the gel, the doctor took an instrument and slid it on Stella's lower abdomen, eyes focused on the

screen.

Felicity looked at the image on the screen but did not understand it. Concerned but not wanting to intrude, she

asked in a soft tone, "Dr. Lyle, can you see anything?"

The doctor did not respond immediately. One minute later, she pointed to the screen and explained, "Here, can you

both see it? This is the gestational sac. It's a sign of pregnancy."

Stella clenched her fists, her heartbeat momentarily unsteady. She stared at the tiny object on the screen, unable

to speak for a while.
