88. Angel is not ready to get pregnant again

"I am pregnant?" Angel's body stiffened, her eyes looked at her mother in disbelief. She shook her head slowly, still unable to accept the reality. "No way, Mom... Erlena is still very small."

Mrs. Matthew sighed softly. "Erlena is only four months old, but a woman can become fertile again after 42 days after giving birth, especially if you don't use contraception and still have sex with Erick."

"Hah?" Angel snorted loudly, her eyes already feeling hot. She didn't know what to do about her pregnancy. The reason is that he still wants to focus on baby Erlena, not to mention the trauma caused by the drama-filled pregnancy and birth.

"Honey..." Mrs. Matthew held Angel's hand, flashing a gentle smile. "It doesn't matter if you get pregnant again, we can take care of them together. Besides, there are lots of servants here too."

Angel's eyes looked blurry. "I... don't know, Mom... I'm confused."

"Hey..." Mrs. Matthew cupped both sides of Angel's face. "Imagine if there were two Erlenas here, it would be really fun. This house is so big, it would be more colorful if there were lots of babies."

"What about my wedding?"

"What happened to your wedding?"

"My body will grow quickly like when I was pregnant with Erlena."

"It's just a small problem that we can work around, darling... now, don't think about anything. You have to be a happy pregnant mother," replied Mrs. Matthew smiled brightly, even though he actually felt sorry when he saw Angel in her previous pregnancy.

"Should I tell Erick?"

"Of course, Angel... he must know, because this is his child."

Angel slowly started to move to sit up. "Mom, can you accompany me to check at the hospital? I want to make sure of everything."

"Now?"

Angel nodded slowly.

"But- can we order a taxi here?" asked Mrs. Matthew hesitated.

"There are lots of cars in the garage, Mom."

"Okay, then we'll leave now."

Mrs. Matthew and Angel walked out of the living room and headed towards the car garage. Immediately Mrs. Matthew gasped when she saw the rows of luxury cars displayed in front of hers, there wasn't even a single type of car there that she had ever been in.

"Wow... is this a car showroom?"

"Mom, this is not the time to discuss that," replied Angel.

"Ah yes, I'm sorry mommy," said Mrs. Matthew showed a wide grin. "Mommy is just amazed... but can you drive one of those cars?"

Angel shook her head slowly. "All those cars are different from ours, Mom. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake if I drive them."

"Mommy can't do it either. So what?"

"Good grief...."

"Mrs."

The sound made them stand on tiptoes, reflexively turning their bodies towards the source of the sound. In front of them appeared a man in a neat suit, smiling kindly at them.

"I'm Billy, I'm the driver here. I can take you wherever you want to go, Mrs. Angel."

"Ah, thank goodness," Mrs. Matthew breathed a sigh of relief, "then, please take us to the hospital now."

"Yes, Madam. What car would you like to take?"

"Whatever," answered Angel quickly. "What's important is that we can get to the hospital immediately."

Finally they got into the black Mustang in the front row. For the umpteenth time, Angel forgot to use her teleportation powers.

"Very true, Angel is pregnant. Congratulations, Dr. Matthew..."

Mrs. Matthew just smiled at the obstetrician who was currently performing an ultrasound on Angel's stomach. She directed her gaze at Angel who was silent, she knew very well that her daughter was still depressed.

"She's still eight weeks pregnant, so you still have to be very careful."

Angel just stared blankly at the screen above hers, showing a black and white image with an unclear dot. Even so, she could no longer deny that her pregnancy was really real.

"What is Angel complaining about now?" asked the doctor.

"Like pregnant women in general, nausea, vomiting and no appetite."

"Okay, I will give you a prescription that you will have to drink regularly."

Mrs. Matthew smiled as she nodded.

The doctor felt strange when she saw Angel just silent. "Angel, are you okay?"

Angel blinked quickly to control the tears that were ready to spill. She pulled the corners of her lips into a stiff curve. "I'm fine, Doc. Thank you."

"I heard you're getting married soon, isn't your future husband coming here?"

"He-"

"I'm here," interrupted Erick, who suddenly entered the examination room.

"Erick?!" Angel screamed with wide eyes. She immediately got up from the patient's bed.

"Is our baby healthy, Doctor?" asked Erick who immediately approached Angel.

"He's still very small, but everything is normal," answered the doctor.

Erick smiled warmly, one arm around Angel's shoulder. "Thank God, thank you Doctor."

After getting the prescription, they said goodbye to go home. While walking down the hospital hallway, Erick never let go of his arm around Angel's waist for a second, in fact he always tried to protect Angel from everyone who passed them.

"Erick..."

"Yes?" Erick suddenly stopped in his tracks. "Do you want something?"

Angel shook his head slowly, her gaze radiating sadness. "Won't you be angry if I get pregnant again?"

"What are you talking about, hm?" Erick smiled gently, with one hand stroking the woman's cheek. "You know, I was so happy when I found out you were pregnant. I can't wait to have lots of children from you."

"But I'm not sure I can take care of them well," said Angel with tears in her eyes.

"Honey... you are an extraordinary mother, you can definitely take care of them. Besides, I will never let you work alone, there will be lots of nannies later."

"But I'm not ready..." Angel's lips trembled as she held back the sobs that were ready to come out.

"Shhh..." Erick pulled Angel's body into his arms. "I'll always be there for you, Angel... so don't worry about a thing."

As a result, Angel burst into tears because of Erick's sweet attitude, even though she had been holding back for a long time. Now, she seemed to be sobbing in Erick's arms without hesitation, not caring that everyone would look at her with strange eyes.

"Can you just cry at home, darling?" Erick grimaced when he saw everyone's sharp gazes. "Everyone here might think that I hurt you."

"I'm sorry..." Angel let go of her hug, wiping her tears quickly. "I'm really confused about this pregnancy."

Erick smiled softly again as he kissed Angel's lips briefly. "Soon we will get married and we will be a complete family. So, there's nothing you need to be confused about."

Mrs. Matthew, who had been watching them, seemed to be smiling with emotion. She was very grateful when there was a man who loved her daughter so sincerely, and her heart was truly relieved to let Angel go.
