The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress-Chapter 696 - 737: Soldiers Surround Desmond Manor

Chapter 696: Chapter 737: Soldiers Surround Desmond Manor

Sienna Johnson walked into the ultrasound room, lay down on the bed, and Adrian Desmond sat beside her, holding her hand, his expression somewhat tense.

"Don’t be scared!" Adrian reassured her.

"I’m not scared. If anything, you should be the one." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Nonsense, what would I be scared of?" he said softly.

She felt the cold liquid spread over her lower abdomen. To her left was a 32-inch computer screen. She tilted her head; the first image was the baby’s head.

In domestic ultrasounds, the screen faces away from the expectant mother, for fear she might see the child’s gender. As a result, the father accompanying the mother into the ultrasound room simply doesn’t happen.

During domestic ultrasounds, doctors often give the impression that you’re desperate to know the child’s gender. They seem to assume that if it’s a girl, you’ll abort the child, which is a very uncomfortable thought.

In reality, many parents simply want to know their child’s gender early on and have no other intentions.

In this respect, Abyanabad was more humane.

Although she had just said she wasn’t nervous, Sienna still felt a little tense. However, with Adrian holding her hand and accompanying her, she wasn’t nervous at all.

"Adrian, do you see the baby?"

She could see very clearly. The baby’s eyes were closed, its nose and mouth fully visible. Sienna was somewhat excited. "Why does the baby look like you again?"

"It’s so blurry. How can you even tell who it looks like?" Adrian laughed.

"Of course! The nose looks like you, and so does the face shape..."

"What else?"

"Shh, please don’t talk. I’m listening to the baby’s heartbeat," the doctor said, motioning them to be quiet.

The two looked at each other, smiled, and fell silent in perfect understanding.

After the doctor froze the image and took measurements, another doctor recorded the examination data. Sienna watched as the little face on the screen moved.

The doctor smiled. "Your baby is so cute, already making funny faces at such a young age."

Adrian said, leaving everyone speechless, "Of course. Just look whose son it is!"

Sienna felt embarrassed for Sixth Master. Can’t we be a little more low-key?

"Stop talking!" Sienna was genuinely afraid he’d say something else shocking.

"Okay."

Sienna listened to the sounds of the equipment nearby. One doctor was responsible for screening, while another recorded data on a computer. Unable to understand the data they were discussing, Sienna quietly asked,

"Excuse me, is my baby alright?"

"Don’t worry, the baby is doing very well. The umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby’s neck twice. Currently, there’s plenty of space for the baby to move inside the mother’s body, so it can unwrap at any time. It will be fine as long as the cord isn’t around its neck when the baby is older and has less room to move."

"What if it’s still wrapped around the neck when it’s time to give birth?"

When Sienna was pregnant with her first child, Curly, she hadn’t had many check-ups in the later stages and hadn’t paid much attention to whether the umbilical cord was wrapped around Curly’s neck.

"If it’s still like this before labor, we will recommend a cesarean section. There’s no problem at the moment, so don’t be nervous."

Sienna relaxed as soon as she heard the doctor’s words.

"Would you like to take a baby photo?" the doctor asked.

"Yes!"

After a series of examinations, two hours had passed. Sienna held the baby’s photo, discussing with Adrian who the baby resembled.

In reality, to Adrian, it was just a blurry lump. He couldn’t even tell which part was his son’s hand and which was his son’s foot.

"...The eye slits are so long. It’s obviously going to have big eyes... Adrian, do you think our son’s eyes will look more like you or me...?"

After waiting for a while, the man beside her didn’t respond; instead, he stopped walking.

"Adrian?"

Sienna looked at the man beside her, only to see Adrian staring intently at a TV screen, completely absorbed.

The Abyanabad Explorer Channel was rebroadcasting the Prince of Abyanabad’s grand wedding.

Adrian had known for a while that Kiya would marry the Princess of Pelindi, so he wasn’t too surprised. What shocked him was the scandal that had erupted during the press conference.

Paige Desmond cheating? Dylan not being Kiya’s biological child? What bastard spread such rumors?

"Kiya is marrying the Princess of Pelindi?"

Due to Night Owl’s incident, Sienna had been staying on the island with limited access to information, so she didn’t know about the engagement between Kiya and the Princess of Pelindi.

She never imagined Kiya would actually marry the Princess of Pelindi.

"Adrian, did you know Kiya is marrying the Princess of Pelindi? Is it true or false?" Sienna couldn’t believe her eyes as she watched the video.

That time, in the car, Kiya had appeared so passionately in love with Paige that even Sienna had believed in his feelings for her.

Yet, this same man had turned around and gotten engaged to the Princess of Pelindi.

Adrian’s face darkened like the night. "I knew. I just didn’t expect someone to frame Paige!"

Adrian trusted his sister’s character. Even if there was hard evidence like a video, he would never believe his sister would do such a morally corrupt thing.

Someone must be trying to frame Paige. If it’s Kiya, the Queen, or anyone else, I won’t let them off!

Sienna scoffed. "Kiya... I was truly wrong about him. When he shamelessly pestered us back then, I even thought of helping him. I never imagined he was this kind of person!"

"..."

"What’s the use of such a hypocritical, promiscuous man who’s never satisfied with what he has? Good riddance!" Sienna raised both hands, fully supporting Paige Desmond’s separation from Kiya. Any thought she’d had of trying to reconcile Paige and Kiya completely vanished.

"..."

"Let’s go. We should head back early and cheer Paige up. There are plenty of fish in the sea; it’s best to get rid of that kind of man quickly. Once this busy period is over, I’ll arrange some blind dates for Paige and help her find someone much better than Kiya!" Sienna said.

"Let’s go." Adrian withdrew his gaze, his hand on Sienna’s waist, and led her out of the hospital.

They had come to the hospital in high spirits for the check-up and had even taken photos of the baby. Both were overjoyed, but Kiya had now completely ruined their mood.

"Sixth Master, are we going back to the island now?" Walter Klein asked.

"No, let’s go to Desmond Manor first."

"Alright."

As the car drove towards Desmond Manor, Walter Klein called the housekeeper, Adolph Desmond, to prepare lunch ahead of time. However, he learned from Adolph that soldiers had surrounded the Desmond family residence.

"Why would they surround the Desmond family home?" Walter Klein asked, puzzled.

"It’s His Royal Highness; he’s looking for the Princess Consort. Right now, our people have to go through strict checks to leave. Please tell Sixth Master that since Madam is pregnant, it’s best they don’t come back for now."

"I understand."

After hanging up, Walter Klein relayed the news he learned from Adolph Desmond to Adrian, who was also taken aback.

"Desmond Manor is really surrounded?" Sienna asked.

"Yes, Madam!"

Sienna asked Adrian, "What on earth does Kiya want to do?"

"Who cares what he wants to do!"
