Chapter 1974: Claire Is Pregnant
After exchanging greetings with the children, everyone chatted briefly, with Claire showing the most interest in their academic achievements. She expressed her care to each child, and they happily replied truthfully, all thanks to the excellent guidance of Principal Qin.
Throughout the interaction, Claire held Waverly's small hand, still wearing the bracelet with the apple pendant on her wrist.
Before long, Jack approached. He had a robust stature and a gentlemanly demeanor. Claire and Rowan warmly greeted him, and the atmosphere felt like that of old friends meeting, bringing genuine happiness to everyone.
Lili's left foot was worsening, causing her to hobble alongside the principal, capturing Claire's attention deeply. Concerned, Claire glanced at the girl's foot and then worriedly at Jack.
Jack explained, "Lili's leg may have already formed, and even with treatment, there may not be much effect. We've consulted with the doctor." It was a regrettable situation.
A hint of melancholy could be seen on the girl's face, as she tended to be reserved and shy, not often smiling. Claire then turned her gaze to Rowan, placing her hope in him.
Understanding her intention, Rowan embraced his wife's shoulder and calmly said to Jack, "Principal, if you trust me, please entrust Lili to my care."
Jack was shocked, wondering if Rowan was willing to assist. He knew exactly who Rowan was – a genius doctor! Graduating with a doctorate at 22, proficient in both traditional Chinese medicine and Western clinical practices, and possessing exceptional surgical skills. There seemed to be no illness he couldn't treat as long as he accepted the challenge.
Quickly regaining his composure, Jack said, "Of course, I'm willing. But I'm concerned... I'm afraid you may have plans to travel abroad and won't have the time."
"I'm not going abroad for now," Rowan replied casually, his face gentle as he spoke to her, "My wife is pregnant, and I need to stay home to take care of her."
Jack was delighted, as it seemed a double joyous occasion. Looking at Claire, he said excitedly, "Thank you! Congratulations, Claire, on becoming a mother."
"Thank you for your blessings, Principal," Claire said, gently placing her hands on her abdomen, a look of happiness on her face.
Jack then prompted the children, "Lili, why don't you thank Dr. Watson?"
"Thank you, Dr. Watson. Thank you, Sister Claire," the little girl said, her face innocent and shy, with bright eyes.
Claire reached out to pat the child's head, saying, "You're welcome. It's the duty of a doctor to heal the sick."
Later, Jack shared some good news with Claire about plans to send the children to city schools for middle school, providing them better educational opportunities if they passed the entrance exams.
Despite being knowledgeable in various subjects and teaching the children well, he believed they shouldn't be too secluded and should have a healthy and normal growth environment.
Claire and Rowan supported his decision, considering it beneficial for the children. Claire offered, "Principal, if you need our help, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Thank you in advance," Jack said, also pleased, as he generally didn't like troubling others.
As the wedding ceremony concluded, the banquet began, leaning more towards a relaxed gathering among relatives and friends, with a joyful and unconstrained atmosphere where everyone felt like familiar faces.
After offering their blessings, they raised their glasses together and chatted about daily life.
On the film set, the scene of Tristan rescuing Riverflow by the pool was about to be reshot. Originally set in the evening in the book, the director found filming during the daytime equally suitable. Angel had changed into her evening gown and put on exquisite makeup, though she couldn't shake off her inner turmoil. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
